You're listening to The Archers Omnibus from BBC Radio 4. All good down there, George? Yeah. Great. Well, I'm I'm coming down now. Do you need me to hold the rope, Ed? No, no, no, I've got it. I reckon that branch would have come down in the next big storm if I hadn't lopped it off.
meaning to do it for ages. You alright? Yeah yeah I'm fine fine. Still I suppose that's what's good about this quiet patch between Christmas and New Year. Can get stuff done. So your wrist ain't bothering you then? Oh no no still a bit stiff. Sure. But it's a relief to finally have the brace off. It's not a problem. Good. I'm pleased. And the bruise in your face. Well yeah, that's gone down and all. Yeah, good.
Speaking of New Year's, uh do you and Amber know what you're up to? Not really. It ain't like we can go to the bull. No, I reckon we'll just have a quiet night in. Dad's going to the bull with you guys. At least we'll have the host to ourselves. Well, there are worse ways to celebrate.
You two certainly seem very cozy on Christmas Day. I'm telling you, her coming back from Ireland in time for Christmas, it's the best present I could have got. Oh well I'll have that Bluetooth speaker back then. Oh no no, I didn't mean that. I'm only pulling your leg. No
Really pleased that things are going better between you and Amber. Yeah. And pleased you're getting yourself some counselling too. When are you going to the doctors? Uh tomorrow, half two. What you see in Dr. Malik? Yeah, I think so. Good. I'm sure she'll be very nice. Hope so. I can't keep on feeling the way I do. I'm hurting people I don't want to hurt. The past is the past, eh? The point is you're dealing with it.
By the end of the week it'll be a brand new year. Perfect time to turn the page. Make a clean, fresh start. Yeah, too right. Come on then. We've got a branch that needs to chopping up. Can you lift that end? Sure, I'm gonna get the other. Uh actually Ed, I I think I can lift the whole thing. Mind, it's heavy. Uh it's alright. I can carry it. Ow! Ow! Ed, what happened? You okay? No Martha, just because it's the holidays you still have to get dressed. I'll be up in a minute. Oh, Chris.
What are you doing here? Uh oh, you're not expecting to have Martha today, are you? No no. I was just out for a walk and I thought I'd drop by. Oh, thank goodness for that. I was worried I'd messed up. If now's not a good time though. Oh no, don't be silly. It's lovely to see you. Come in. Ah, thanks. All this time cooped up with mum and dad. It's been really nice but
I had to get out. Hm, I know what you mean. It's been lovely having all the family together, but it's been pretty full on. I'm enjoying having a bit of peace and quiet. Ah you probably won't like my idea then. It occurred to me it's the last day of Deck the Hall. I wondered if it might be nice to take Martha.
Oh But no worries if you'd rather not No no I I was just gonna veg out and let her play with her new toys but if you want to take her to Lower Loxley I meant all three of us. I wasn't just gonna take her off you. Oh Oh, I see. W well then that would be great. Yeah? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, let me go tell her. Martha, guess what? Daddy's here.
Oh no, poor you, Brad. You've been working at Grey Gables round the clock. Ah, it's all right. It's good for my bank balance. We all got paid time and a half on Boxing Day. Ah, and well at least you had Christmas Day off. How was the turkey? I wish we'd had fish fingers. Caused so many arguments. What do you mean? Well Jazzer kept pestering mum about the best way to cook it.
Reckons he hadn't been parading around Borchester Market dressed like a botched animal experiment only for it to end up dried out. Oh no. Every time Mum's back was turned, he'd have it out of the oven to baste it or check the temperature. In the end she had to shut him out of the kitchen. But did it turn out okay? Oh yeah. Bangin'. Oh good. Well, I'm even more grateful now you've spared the time to help Kira with her mouth.
So I can't say she was overly happy when I reminded her you were coming over. Hopefully she's ready. I've been over at the house with Clara. Let's go and find her. Sure thing, Emma. What is that? Blood? Sure you don't want to bite my bratfurst? Oh no thank you. I've been way too much after the last few days. You can have it all to yourself. How's Martha? She looks like she's getting stuck in. Yeah, she's fine. She's busy making a reindeer out of twigs and the pine cone.
Chris careful, you you're gonna drink ketchup. Thank you. I thought she might have been inspired by your starring role on the tractor run and made a fairy one. Chris She loves seeing you all dressed up in your wings. Well, I blame Rory. He was the one who suggested the whole angel thing. My looks all right, Wally. Rubbish, you look great. I put you on top of my Christmas tree any day. Oh, I'll take that as a compliment. You should. Although
I thought Brookville gave you a run for your money. Yeah, to be honest, I thought they were the stars of the whole thing. They collected So much. Their buckets look pretty heavy. All while being dressed as shepherds. Oh, it's amazing how generous people can be. Especially as everyone's running low. Mm, I know. I'm so glad we bit the bullet back in September and put up the fees at the stables.
Lots of the customers of mine. Tell me about it. It's all I hear from my clients at the moment. Well, fingers crossed, twenty twenty six will be a better year. Fingers crossed I get to move back into my flat. Fingers crossed we still have a cricket team. Um I was sorry about you and Carly, by the way. Oh. If there hasn't really been a proper chance to talk. You're not too cut up, are you? It's a shame it didn't work out. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah.
We'll just have to resign ourselves to being single together, I guess. No way. I'm done with the bachelor life. What? Yeah, there's plenty more fish in the sea. Um, it's fine. It's stopped bleeding now. Ed, take the tail away. I'll be the judge of that. You let me see. Oh like I said, it were an accident. Like an idiot. I was trying to carry the branch by myself. That looks really deep. It it were too heavy though. The sawn off end kind of tipped up and cloated Ed in the face. Oh it looks sore.
Didn't the same thing happen the other day? Eh? Well the black eye Ed had w wasn't that from getting hit by a branch too. That were different. Ow Oh sorry. Oh be careful. No, I never meant to hit him. Last time you mean. What? No, that ain't what I said. Sorry. It just seems odd. I'm just saying this weren't my fault. No, George is right. It was my fault. I shouldn't have been standing so close. Just like I should have been concentrating more the time before.
Turn my head without thinking I'd whack myself in the face. We've certainly been in a few scrapes recently, and I'm worried that one might need stitches for how hard did you hit it? Daft, I'm not going to hospital for a little cut. Uh it's not little. Seriously? It just needs some antiseptic, put a plaster on it, it'll be fine. But but Ed's Honestly, don't make such a fuss. Why would I be joking? Look here, I'll show you. Hold me hot chocolate for me.
I've got my first date lined up next week. Woman called Naomi. Let me just let me just open the app. Hang on. Uh so how long have you been on it? I signed up Boxing Day. They were offering a fifty percent discount on their premium subscription. No here we go. There's my profile. Gosh Wow. What do you think of the photo? I didn't want it to be too airbrushed, you know, better to just show me as I am. And I do wear a sleeveless shirt when I'm forging shoes. Yeah, no y
You look very rugged. I'm I'm sure you'll get lots of inquiries. Well that's the plan. Life's too short to mope about with a broken heart. When one door closes, another one opens, just gotta jump back on that horse. Another cliches? You know what I mean. No point worrying about what might have been. No, no, you're right. That's great, Chris. I I'm really pleased you're getting back out there. Well, maybe you should do the same.
What? Yeah. Why don't you join the data net? We could share notes. No, I don't think so. Why not? Look, you can always put non-drinker on your profile. You don't have to meet in a pub. It's not only that. What is it then? I don't know, it it's just not for me. Um but I hope it works for you though. Right now come on, finish your hot chocolate. Martha looks like she's done making her read it. There. I'm nearly done.
How's that? Plaster's not stopping you from opening your eye. Oh no, that's fine. Thanks, Emma. No problem. Let's hope it heals okay. Right then, George. Yeah? Well you and me need to finish clearing away that branch. Oh Are you sure you'll be all right? You don't need any painkillers. Yeah, if you want to stay here, I can sort the branch myself. How many times? I'm fine, it's just a little knock. All right. Now come on.
We'll catch you later. Hey, I don't suppose either of you know where Kira's got to. Not a clue. George? How would I know? She doesn't talk to me these days. She's probably over at Glebeland's with Eva. She's around there all the time at the moment. See ya, Brad. Oh She'd better not be at Evers. If you want I can come back another time. No, no, she knew you were coming to help her with her maths. Let me give her a call. Right, if you're sure. That is assuming I can find my phone.
Emma. Can I ask you something? Do you think they're all just accidents? I I know you said George didn't mean for Ed to fall down the stairs. Brad, not this again. But I saw the look on his face straight afterward. He looked wild. They were having an argument. George tried to shove Ed away and he fell. Except originally they told me he slipped on a book. Well I I'm not sure what you're getting at, Brad. What's that got to do with today?
It seems a bit odd. First there were the stairs. Then Ed gets a black eye. He was hit in the face with a branch. And now the same thing's happened today. Well that's three injuries in the space of what? A month? And George was with Ed each time. So you're saying he's responsible? I don't know. I mean if you calculated the probability, I suppose it could all just be coincidence. Exactly.
Could Ed be getting sloppy? Sloppy? What do you mean by that? Sorry. I'm just wondering. Tree surgery's pretty dangerous. Ed takes safety very seriously. We both do. It's a big part of getting qualified. So He doesn't injure himself often then? No. No, not often. But that doesn't mean that George has been doing it. Do you really think Ed would let him hit him? No. No. He wouldn't. Unless he's trying to protect him.
Like I said, Ed lied about slipping on a book, and even after he admitted George pushed him he seemed really desperate to play it down. Just like he was now, doing everything he could to take the blame off George. Brad seriously He'd get sent back to jail, wouldn't he? If they found out he was being violent. Even if he was, Edd would tell me. He wouldn't keep something as awful as that from me. Let's not start accusing George of anything else.
That's enough now. All right. I'm sorry. That's what you think. I I'm just worried that's all. The pattern continues. Then what? Well who knows what might happen next. What you doing out here? Uh nothing. Brad called. I didn't want to talk in the waiting room. So how did it go? Good, I think. Doctor Malik referred me to their counselling service. She agreed I've got a lot of um bad stuff going on in my head. Oh yeah? So when do you have your first session? Not sure, it'll be a while.
Well anyway, at least you're going to get some help. I guess. Well done, George. It takes guts to admit you've got a problem. I'm really proud of you. Fingers crossed it won't be too long. Yeah. Right. I've got a new makeup demo to film. Eyelash trends for 2026. Let's get home.
I mean Ed was adamant that it was an accident. The branch hit him in the face. But that is the second time in two weeks now, let alone him nearly breaking his neck on the stairs. I know we've been telling ourselves George didn't mean to hurt him, but the more that I think about it. Will are you gonna say something? Brad's got it wrong, ain't he? There's no way George is hitting Ed. I don't know, Em. There have been a few times recently when George has lost it with me.
He's hit you too. No, but he's got so angry it crossed my mind that he might. Why did you never say anything? Well it's only been a couple of times. I don't want to make a big deal of it. George is having a hard enough time at the moment. Yes, I hoped he'd pull himself out of the rut he's in. And what if Ed's been doing the same? That's what I'm scared of. That George had been giving him all these horrible injuries and and he's been covering for him.
seems more likely than them all being just accidents. That's what I think too. Why didn't I see it? Deep down I knew something wasn't right. But George seemed so sorry. I didn't want to believe he was capable of deliberately pushing him. All right, then, come on. And then when Ed got the black eye, both times, it seems so plausible. Now listen, there ain't no point blaming yourself. We've all been trying to think the best of jewels. Yeah, but how could it?
Ed's been trying so hard to help him. I know. But given how George has been behaving, it sounds like Ed has been on the receiving end of most of his anger. Yeah, well it's gotta stop. We can't let it carry on. What do you think we should do? Ay, ay, what's all this? Oh hi, Reddy. I'm traping back and forth, taking the turkey feeders back to the container while you're standing about gabbing. I thought you came to help William. Sorry, Dad.
Hey, what's up with you? You got faces as long as a giraffe's longjongans? What's going on? So what I love about these lashes is that they are so easy to apply. Alright, so now that the glue is on there, I like to start at the outer corner and move inward. Oh yeah. Start from where? George. Lean here on your neck. You're ruining the video. And then move inward. Stop it. I'm going to have to start the demo again now. So? So this is my work, George?
I thought you were going to help Ed on the farm. Change of plan. Come on, the house is empty. And we still need to catch up from your week in Ireland. We caught up last night. We could still do with catching up some more, and it will help my mood. Wait, let me just turn the camera off. Take off your top. Oh. George! Right, you're up there! Oh no, it's my dad. Go on, answer him. George! Yeah, what is it? Could you come downstairs, please? Did you hear me? Yes, alright.
Is he come in? Yeah, I think so. Now remember, let's not go in all guns blazing. We don't actually know George is responsible. No, but he's been there every time Ed's been hurt. That ain't proof. At least give him a chance to tell us his side of the story. You can't honestly think he'd hurt our Edward. That's what we're here to find out. Dad Yeah, we're in here. So what is it?
Hiya, George. All right, lad. What are you three doing here? We need to have a proper chat. And we want the truth, all right? None of your fibs. This is too serious. It would help if I knew what you were on about. Have you been hit in Ed? Simple enough question. William, let him answer. Of course I've not. So that gash he got yesterday, he he really did get hit by a branch. Yes, I told you. And the black eye?'Cause when I first saw it, I thought it looked more like someone had sucked him one.
Are you guys taking the mick? Your mum and dad just want to be sure there ain't nothing bad going on. Of course there ain't. Well you swear. On your great grandad Joe's grave, you ain't been walloping him. Seriously Because you admitted you pushed him down the stairs Well that were an accident, I didn't do it on purpose. An accident. Look, just because Brad walked in straight after Ed fell. He don't know what really happened. Why? What did really happen?
I don't believe you didn't mean to hurt Ed. Tell us, George. I I I just lose it sometimes. I I was hacked off about the money you all thought I stole. And Ed was on my case. He just wouldn't let it go. So you did push him deliberately then? You meant him to fall. I I I d I don't remember. What do you mean you don't remember? I snapped, okay? One minute we were arguing and the next he was at the bottom of the stairs. Did you snap when you gave him a black eye? Just be honest. I don't know.
Uh I guess maybe. So you did. But it weren't like what you think though. He was saying how you all really care about me. How I'm lucky to have you. How I need to stop pushing you away. I'm so lucky you thumped him. No I then you emotionally blackmailed him into not telling anyone. Just like when you didn't want me telling anyone that it was you driving Alice's car. Yeah, and you did anyway. How's that blackmail? You ain't being fair eight, don't start getting angry with your mother.
It would could have broken his neck falling down them stairs. You could have killed him! I know, that's why I'm getting counselling. What? Counselling? Since when? Well i it ain't started yet, but I went to the doctor's this afternoon. Oh did you now? Yes! I I'm trying to sort myself out And how long have we been hearing that story? We've tried to support you, George, but this has gone too far now.
I can't believe you deliberately hurt your own family. Are you deaf or something? It weren't deliberate. I didn't know what I was doing. That's enough. Amber. Amber. Don't talk to your grandpa that way. Get a grip, George. Tell them then. She came with me to the doctors. I I am getting counselling. You didn't tell me you'd been hitting your stepfather. Well, you heard that. Of course I heard. Look, it's not how it sounds, uh I'd say it's exactly how it sounds.
All this time I've stood up for you, even though I knew what you'd done was wrong. In my world blood's thicker than water. At least that's what I've always believed. Jump, I don't. But you That don't mean nothing to you. Neil and Susan were right to dub you into the place. Is that what you think of me? It's not about what we think. It's how you behave. You see, babe, this is how I'm treated. By my own family. Well, don't start feeling sorry for yourself.
Not when you've been treating Ed like a punch bag. Oh, because there ain't been times when you wouldn't have happily pushed him down the stairs. George! No, why can't they be honest for a change? I've heard all the stories. He wanted to kill Ed when he found out him and Mumm had been at it behind his back. Where we go You're not doing this again. No, because you don't like being reminded, do you? That's why she hates having me around.
What are you talking about? Your mum doesn't hate you. Go on, admit it. I'm only here because you couldn't decide which brother to screw. Right. You apologize to your mother, said No. What is the matter with you? It's okay. He can think what he likes. But it's not right.
All your mum's ever done is care for you and look after you. Oh no, she's a saint. I mean it. Don't push it like. Just like Nick was. She never hit anyone. She never thumped me when I was a kid. Shut your mouth. But we don't talk about that. Not now she's corked it. Best thing that nasty cow ever did. Humber I'm I'm sorry. I have to go. What you mean? Go where? I don't know. Amper Don't you touch me Let go of her But I ain't doing nothing. Amber, are you all right? Yes. I'll be fine.
I I I just need to not be here. Babe, hold on. Leave the girl be. What do you think I'm gonna do? She's the one who slapped me, Amber. Ain't you listening? She wants you to leave her alone. But I In fact, we all do. Go and pack your bag. What? I'm not having you under my roof a minute longer. You ain't serious, where am I gonna go? That's not my problem. You've made it abundantly clear what lousy parents you think we are. You'll just have to look after yourself.
Don't look at me, George. You think I'd have you back at hours after what you've done to it? Anyway, Kira would throw a fit grandpa, you ain't gonna let them throw me out on the street. Sorry, George. Best thing you can do now is leave. You've proven you ain't part of this family. I can barely look at you. What but Amber? I mean if you're chucking me, ain't No Amber can stay here. That's up to her.
It's you I want gone. Yeah, alright, but now fine! Fine! See if I care! I don't need this Poxy family, anyhow! Come in, come in. Thanks, Brad. Let me just shut my bedroom door. Sorry about the mess, I'm not very good at staying tidy. Don't worry, I don't mind. Yeah, sit down. Thank you. So what's happened? Did George admit it? Has he been beating her bed? You know, when I first started writing to him in prison, Brad, I I thought he was a good person who had done something bad.
After what I just saw though. I think he might just be bad the way he spoke to Will and Emma. Why? What did he say? Awful horrible things. I couldn't stand it. I knew he was struggling, but Something really ugly inside of him. But have I made a massive mistake? What am I gonna do? Hey, hey. It's okay. Do you want me to find you a tissue or something? No. Just keep holding me. Alright.
Uh Who is it? Who do you think? I don't want to talk to him. Is it all right if I stay here tonight? Here? If it's a problem d don't worry. No. No. I just need somewhere I can think. Sorry to disappoint Alice, but beavers are mainly active round dusk and dawn. Why now they're probably tucked up in their burrow. Oh don't say that Rex. I was hoping to take a photo for Phoebe. Well I'm afraid you'll have to get up earlier. Though I did catch a glimpse of Sigourney yesterday afternoon.
Sigourney. Beaver! Stella suggested the name. Of course she did. And what's the other adult called? Justin. Uh uh. After Justin Elliott. No, Justin Beaver of course. Though I admit it does cause confusion. Justin's been gnawing on the branches. Justin's built a dam. W well I can see how busy Justin's been. Oh they both have. Wasted no time settling in. Although I wish they'd leave the crabapple trees alone.
That's why I'm fixing this wire mesh around them. They're a great resource for other wildlife and they're a native species. Sigorney and Justin are just gonna have to chew on something else. Well, I should let you get on then. Oh no no, no, don't worry.
I'm almost finished anyway. How are you? Yeah, no, I'm fine. I'm not working this morning, and Chris has got Martha, so I thought I'd come down here and stretch my legs. Now is Chris. I've not seen him since he split up with Carly. Er yeah, he seems good. More than good actually. He's um he's signed up for a dating app. Oh, has he now? Well, good for him getting back on the horse.
Uh now honestly I uh I ought to be heading home. I'm starting to get a bit chilly anyway. Well, if you fancy it, I've got a kettle in the office. I can make your coffee. Uh I've got a heater too. Oh well. Sure. Okay. Catch you this evening then, Brada. So see ya later. On Amber? Yeah. Make sure this shin takes good care of you. What do you think I'm trying to do? Oh thanks, Jazza. Have a good day at work. Um we've got grandad's stick cut morally.
Toast and marmalade would be perfect. Okay. Well normally we have more in, but I guess we're running low after Christmas. When we need to do a supermarket shop. No worries. I yeah I wasn't sure if I should come in and wake you. D did you sleep all right in Chosh's room? Not really. The bed was comfy, but um George kept messaging me until about two in the morning. Saying what? Oh, you know
How he didn't mean what he said yesterday? How he can't live without me I've not replied to any of them. Oh you haven't? No. What do you think I should do? Well, me, I I Creo que es para ti. But if you did decide you didn't want to be with George any longer Well, you you wouldn't have to be alone. I'd be there. As a friend, I mean. Just as a friend. If that's all you wanted? And what if I wanted more?
Uh sorry, it's probably just a parcel for Chelsea. Stay there, don't move. I'll be back in a sec. I'm coming, I'm coming. Give me a chance. Alright mate. Is Amber there? Uh well I know she's staying here. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Nice try, but you ain't a very good liar. Come on, just let me in. No, sorry. Don't be a muppet. Look at it. I get she's put you up to this. I'm telling you she don't want to talk to me, but it ain't your job, mate.
Oh, I just want a chance to explain. I told you, you're not seeing her. Amber, it's me, are you there? George, just stop. What are you doing, Brad? She's my fiance. Well, you're listening. I can see her if I want. You can push me all you like, mate. You're not getting by. Brad, it's okay. Let him in. Now I do have a box of luxury mince pies. They need finishing. Oh, well, if it's going to help you out. Alice, you're a trooper.
Um so how was your Christmas? Oh, all right. Toby spent the day with Rosie at Lower Loxley, so it was just me and Mum and her partner hands. I was grateful one of the pigs had a cracked hoof. Gave me an excuse to leave early. How about you? Yeah, good. Oh, it's been really nice having the chance to just hang out with Debbie. Started to feel like she only ever came over for funerals. Oh, thanks.
She's flying back to Hungary on Thursday, so we're having a big family meal at the ball to see in the new year. Oh, I'll be thinking of you while I'm driving my taxi. Oh, and Phoebe video called from Scotland. She dressed baby Peg in the cutest little Santa Wansee. Oh in fact I I I've got a photo on my phone. A mince pie first. Oh, all right. But remind me to show it to you. It really is adorable.
And uh did Martha have a good Christmas? Hm. Yeah, she did. Chris came over in the morning so we could open her stocking together. Ah, so he hasn't been spending all his time swiping rights. No. Um or at least not in front of me, he hasn't. How do you feel about that? Me? Oh, fine. I mean he's a single guy. He can do what he wants. Uh you sure? You just seem a little um But
Perturbed, perhaps? Uh if you'd like to talk. That's kind of you, Rex. Even if I wasn't okay with it, you're not my therapist. No, but I am your friend. I'll just be in the kitchen and finish making your toes. You do that, mate. Thanks, Brad. What's got into him? I've never seen him so fired up. He's being a gentleman, that's all. Yeah, um Well sorry about how I look. I was on a mate's floor. Have you been reading my messages?
I'm so sorry, babe. I I never meant to flip out like that, but the things they were accusing me of all this anger, it ain't me. You know that. It's why we went to get me some counselling. If my head was straight, there is no way I would have pushed Ed down the stairs. Not just that. Some of the things you said to your family yesterday, d did you even hear yourself? I know, I know. It was disgusting. Aren't you ashamed?
I'm sorry you had to hear that, okay? But it ain't like there are anything I said that weren't true. They've done stuff just as terrible as me, but that gets forgotten. You know, I'm no the rotten one. W what does it matter anyhow? They've washed their hands of me. I don't want to stay around here anyway. The only thing I care about is being with you. Amber. Please I I don't want you touching me. All right, all right, I I'm sorry. Seriously, though.
Remember all the things we talked about when you'd visit me in prison? How it was you and me against the world. How nothing mattered as long as we were together. I remember. So we can still do that. The sooner we get away from this place and my family, everything's gonna be so much better. We can get married and m make the brand new start somewhere else. Trust me, babe. Come with me and it'll be just like we imagined. I'm I'm sorry, George, but I'm not coming with you. What? I said no.
Maybe it's something to do with Chris advertising himself? I don't know. I mean he already knew Carly and he already knew Amy when he went out with her. But this feels different? I I suppose before he wasn't actively looking for a new relationship. Oh It sounds like I'm jealous and I'm really not Well so w I mean what is it then? W wh what do you think's bugging you? What maybe it's just him moving on. I know there was Harry, but I hadn't really thought about seeing anyone since then.
Maybe what it has made me realise though is it I need to stop thinking all I can do is cling on to the wreckage of my old life and start thinking about what I really want. Yeah, that's it. I uh I think I've made a breakthrough. Really? Yeah, thank you, Sigmund. I I should come to rewilding more often. Not at all. Oh, I haven't shown you that photo of baby Peg. Oh, no, you haven't. Look, here you are. Oh my goodness, what a sweetie. I know.
Ho ho ho. Oh you you didn't mention Phoebe was wearing a matching Santa jumper too. No, and doesn't she look happy? Oh Makes me wish I had more pictures of me and Martha at that age. My memories of back then either they're missing or they're not exactly great. Sometimes I wish I could have another go. Do a better job of it this time round. Well, who knows? That's what you really want. You've still got time, haven't you?
Please, just go, George. I've told you already. I just need some space. But you had loads of space in Ireland. Come on, babe. Things will be different. I'm not going with you. I promise. George, she asked you to leave. Oh, push off, Brad. This has got nothing to do with you. I mean it. Leave her alone. Why? Do you think I'm gonna hurt her? How do I know? You hurt Ed. Brad, seriously, mate.
I know you've been running your mouth off about me to my parents, and you're lucky I've chosen to overlook it. George, don't. Just go back to making her toast, will ya? You ain't cut out to be a knight in shining armor. Oh whatever. All I care about is making sure Amber's okay. Wait, wait, that's it. You you you got the hotspur, haven't you? You want her for yourself. George, just
Ho ho ho Little Brad, are you in love? George, I am warning you Whoa, calm down, you're going red. You don't get to push everyone around her. Therefore, you're gonna burst something. Just stop making fun of him. I'm not, his brad here is all hot under the colour.
You really have got it bad, mate, haven't you? I'm not gonna tell you again. Or what? You're gonna hit me? Ignore him, right? Well go on then, cuz. Lay it on me. Oh will you know? Good. I'm waiting. Don't you want to impress Amber with what a hero you are? George No Never mind. We can't all be alphas. Maybe you could do some sums for us.
No I hate you Brad, no the hell's going on. Brad, are you alright? Jazza, chill, is it's fine. Doesn't it look fine? Brad I'm okay. Brad's the one who tried to punch me. Oh he did, did he? Yeah. You know I'm glad I came back from a security pass new. 'Cause I've been extinct for an excuse to do you some serious damage myself. Jazzer, come on. Stop it, both of you. If I was you, I'd sling my hook before I day. I'm going, I'm going. It ain't worth it anyhow.
Have her if you want her, Brad. George, just go! What's your back, mind? She's got a thing for bad boys. I'd rather be with Brad than a loser like you. I don't know why I ever wanted to marry you. Dej, jag skulle ju köpa några nya palpstält i lagret. Det kanske blev lite mer grejer. De hade ju allt, man hade en skribord, jag köpte en sån här, och kontorstolar, och så hade de en skit snygg tippkont. Vi har inredning för hela arbetsplatsen. Välkommen till Al-Mart.

Kira, are you ready? Grandma and Grandpa are waiting for us. We need to leave for the ball. What's she doing in there? She's not come out of her room for hours. Don't ask me. Look, I I'm not trying to defend George. But I should hope not. Not with that great big gash on your eyebrow. I told you that was a genuine accident. We can't keep covering for him, Ed. Even your dad's realised that. I know.
And if George said those things to you did say those things. Then that's unforgivable. I don't blame you for washing your hands of him. But if we cut him off completely though. I don't want him ending up on the streets like I did. He really has been trying to get help. Look, I know you thought what he was doing was for the best. But George has to realise he can't keep lashin' out, pretending it's our fault he is where he is.
Maybe this is the wake up call he needs. Yeah, maybe. Now please, can you go and see what Kira's doing? It will be twenty twenty six by the time we get to the pub. Fine, yeah, all right. Dunno why we're still going. None of us are in the mood to celebrate. At least next year it can't be any worse. Kira, we really do need to go. You don't know if it's the fireworks? Kira! Come on, sweetheart! Emma? What? She's not here.
I'm so confused. Fallon and Harrison have had their bottle, and so have Joy and Mick. They have, plus Hannah. What about your family? You gave them their wine. Yeah, yonks ago. In fact, Debbie, Adam, and Rory polished it off before their names had even arrived. And I gave Kate and Jacob one of the spares. Hang on. Those were for in case I'd missed anyone. And have you?
I don't think so. So no need to worry. Everyone seems very happy with their free bottle of Chardonnay. If only we could win best pub every year. I uh I assume you've given your family theirs. Hmm? Are any of them here? Um Jazzer should have turned up by now, and I think Emma's coming down with the rest of the Grundys. So where are their bottles? Well I weren't sure they'd definitely be here, so I
I took them up a couple of bottles this morning and another for Susan and Neil and one for me. I hope you don't mind. Why would I mind? We didn't pay for them. Oh hello, Bran, what can I get you? Uh well let me see if I can remember. Um i it's two cognacs, two glasses of port, a white wine spritzer An orange juice, uh lemonade. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. If you're struggling to remember, I'm not going to. Tracy, could you do the cognacs? You're smelling very fragrant, Brian.
New aftershave. Oh yeah, yeah. Christmas present from Miranda. Do you like it? Hmm. Very uh punchy. Uh how is the meal? Very nice. Oh, it's gonna be such a wrench saying goodbye to Debbie tomorrow. Yeah, I know. It's been so lovely seeing her. Yeah, still, at least we get to see in the new year together. Been a while since we've done that. I visited Auntie Chris this afternoon. She was telling me all about previous New Year's. It's remarkable what she remembers.
Uh-huh, that's dying. Do you need me to carry any drinks? You most certainly can. Uh right, here's your orange juice. And here are the cornbacks. Oh hell. It was two, wasn't it? No, no, no, no, no. It's not the drinks. Look who's just staggered in. What do you mean that's all it says? Does she say where she's gone? All she says is that she's sick of George. Hand it here, let me see.
Mum and Dad, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna go mad if I stay here any longer. I wish George was back in prison. He's ruined everything. I'm gonna kill him. I've let so much slide. And now this? Hasn't he done enough to tear this family apart? All right, all right. She's only fourteen! Where the hell could she have gone? I don't know, Ed. That's what we need to find out, but getting angry is not gonna help.
I wouldn't serve you anyway. You're clearly already drunk. Oh, come on. It doesn't change the fact that you're bath. Who says? There ain't even your name above the door. I still own half the pub. Then I'll have half a point. Oh, come on, crack a smile, that was funny. Was it? No one seems to be laughing. Lillian, would you like me to go fetch Kent? What, the guy who's scared of a chihuahua? I'd like to see him try. Where are you, Kenton? George, don't. They're obviously not going to serve you.
Don't engage with him, darling. No, don't talk to the dreadful scalywag. He's only a peasant, anyhow. Right, you've had your fun now. Come on. Come on now, cut your bits off me. Dad, just be careful. All right, that's enough. Uh-oh, here comes the big That's right. Hey, back off. What are you doing? Get back behind the bar. Now listen here, you little.
Worp! I heard all about your antics at our place yesterday. I know why Amber's back there right now and not you. So? Even your own family don't want you around. So before you sink any lower in everyone's estimations, if that's possible. Why don't you walk back out that door and find yourself a ditch to crawl into? You say such lovely things, great Auntie Trace. Oh look, there's Harrison. Fine. This place is a washout anyhow.
Happy New Year everyone. Thanks for the warm welcome home you all gave me. You know maybe you should make some resolutions and think about the way you've treated one of your own. Dad, are you okay? Uh yes, yeah, I'm fine. Here. Well done, Tracy. Oh, no worries. I'm just sorry I have to call him my great nephew.
That boy's heading for a walloping and he deserve it, too. He was drunk. Don't start making excuses for him, Alice. No, I'm not. I'm just saying he doesn't need any help destroying himself. He probably won't even remember in the morning. No, well we shan't forget, shall we, Tracy? Tracy, what's the matter? It's a message from Emma. Keira's gone missing.
So you think you can just kick me out? Decide I don't exist? Well let's see how you like it with a rock through your window. Maybe you'll notice that. Don't George! Stop! Who's that? It's Alice! Get lost, Alice! No. Not until you've put that down. You'll only get yourself into trouble. Well, I don't care. They can throw me back in jail if you like. Yeah? And then what?
You'll only regret it. I know I did. Alice, move. Come on, put the rock down. What happened to that promise you made me about being a better person? Well done. As soon as you'd thrown it, you'd have been so ashamed. Because I've got nothing else to be ashamed of. I've lost everything. My family. The one girl who's ever loved me. What are you talking about? Well I'm telling you, there's something wrong with my brain. George.
What do you mean you've lost everything? I called my mum uh horrible things. I I called Amber a lag lover. I pushed Ed down the stairs. When? A few weeks ago. That's why he was wearing the wrist brace. Yeah, exactly. I'm a terrible person. Why not smash a poxy window? It won't make any difference. No one's ever gonna forgive me. That's not true. George, it's not.
Do you think I ever expected to be forgiven for all the terrible things I've done? You don't know, you weren't there. No. Even grandpa says he's through with me. Everyone around here hates me. Well who cares what other people think? What I do know is your family hasn't stopped loving you. Do you want to know why? Do you want to hear some of the awful things I've said? I told my mum she was a sniveling doormat.
I called Ruri a mistake. I I once said I wished I could have had a miscarriage. And yet somehow my family still found room in their hearts to forgive me. So will yours. What? You really think so? I know so. You just have to earn it, that's all. Yeah. And how am I gonna do that? Well look at me, I'm an embarrassment. Then change. Decide this is the moment it stops, and I promise. Your family will be there for you. Why are you being so nice to me, Alice?
Because I didn't think I deserved another chance either. If I can be given one, y you deserve one too. So where are you going now? I don't know. I can't go to Dad's. He's out and he made me give him my key. I suppose I could find mum, tell her how sorry I am. Do you do you honestly think she'll listen? You're her son, George. Of course she'll listen. Then that's what I'm gonna do then. Thanks, Alice. George!
Are you sure you don't want to sober up a bit first? No, no, I need to do this now. Well can I give you a lift to Grange Farm then? Just make sure you get there safely. Honestly, you and me in cars. Well it doesn't work out well. I'll be fine. Careful! Well flash wheels. See uh Are you sure? I was just about to invite everyone outside for the fireworks, but I could make an announcement instead. No, that's kind of you, Lily. But if it'll help track Kira down. Honestly.
I don't want to put a dampener on everyone's night. Ed and Emma have got the whole family out looking. Susan, Neil, Chris. Don't think they can get hold of Amber though. I'll try Brad and all. Well, all right. Do you mind if I duck out though? Oh goodness no. Thanks. I think I'll nip home first. Find out where Jazzer's got to. He can help too. It's all right, Tracy. Take care. I'm sure that. Um excuse me, everyone. Um it's only a few minutes until the clock strikes midnight.
Could you make your way out onto the green where Ambridge's very own David Archer has been setting up fireworks on Jubilee Field? Goodbye, 2025. Let's all get ready to welcome in the new year. Okay, just go home and oh oh just get mum and say uh oh maybe I should sober up first Oh, I don't know what I'm gonna say. Just try and make'em see that I mean it this time. And then I'll find Amber and Hello? Hello? Who's there?
Yeah, well, you can't get rid of me. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I'm gonna prove all you losers wrong. Two, one, one! Thank you. Bum. Uh I'm sorry. Ed, why aren't you picking up? I thought you were coming back to the house.
I've left your mum at Little Grange and I'm on the lane down to the village. I've managed to get through to Kira's friend Eva and she doesn't know where she is, but she's gonna message the rest of their group and uh see if she's with one of them. Please call me back and let me know where you are. Emma. I will. I was checking the churchyard. No sign of her then? Uh no, nothing. I I don't know where Ed is neither.
Him and Eddie went off to see if Kier is hiding somewhere around the farm, but that was a while ago and and he's not answering his phone. Well maybe he ain't got a signal. You know what it's like, especially around by the pole barn. Well you're lucky if you get a single bar. I know, I'm just so scared something terrible's happened. Hey, come on. Kira's a sensible kid. I'm sure she's safe wherever she is. I am so.
Keep thinking about that promise I made George. What promise? When he told me it was him driving Alice's car. He made me swear on Kira's life I wouldn't tell anyone and I did. Em, that's ridiculous. Kira hasn't run away because you broke your promise. I know that really, but
stop it going round and round in my head. Look, everyone's out looking for her. We'll find her, or she'll realise she's made a silly mistake and come home. Either way, Kira's going to be fine. Yeah, okay. Now come on, why don't we check round by Nightingale Farm? Fallon? Oh, hi Liam. I didn't realise anyone was inside. Oh. Were you watching the fireworks? Uh no, I missed them. Were they good? Hmm? They were marvellous.
Oh, have you cut yourself? Yeah. I thought I'd clear away a few empties while the pup was quiet and one of the glasses smashed in my hand. Oh it's not too bad, is it? Oh no, it just needs a plaster. Are Mum and Kenton back on the bar? Um j I'm not sure. I haven't seen them. I assume Kenton was helping David with the fireworks.
Oh, well if everyone's coming back in the best gonna move on. No, well there's no rush, darling. It'll be a good few minutes before they come in and we start serving again. Do you need help with that plaster? Oh thanks. Yeah, it's a bit fiddly with one hand. It's Brian all right, by the way. Saw him leaving earlier. He looked a bit pale. Oh, I think he was just a little shaken by his confrontation with George Grundy. Well, why aren't we all How uh how are you? Me?
Well, it can't be easy having him round the village, let alone barging into the pub. Well, no, but he knows I'm not gonna let him get to me. There. Oh, thanks. I only saw the end of it anyhow. You got the brunt of his nonsense. Harrison's so hacked off he's taken himself home. Because of George. He's doing his best not to let himself get wound up, but when George pulls a stunt like that, I Oh yeah, I know. Still, George isn't going anywhere. Unfortunately.
Oh now dear sweet Kira's gone missing. You know, it never rains for the Grundies but it falls. Sorry, what do you mean Kira's gone missing? Well hadn't you heard? She's run away. Any sign, Neil? No, Tracy, no you? Nothing. Are we even sure Kira's somewhere around the village? I don't know.
I mean she could have got a friend to pick her up or call for a taxi. Yeah, yeah, I know. Christopher's driving around in case she's decided to try and hitch I Oh, she wouldn't do something that stupid, would she? Well, who knows. She thought it was a good idea to run away. That's true. Who knows what she's thinking, eh? Where's Susan? Oh back at home. I told her if Ciara was heading for ours she'd have turned up by now. Insisted on staying though. Jazzer, is that you?
Tracy, there you are. Where have you been? I could ask you the same thing. I've just been back to the house. Chelsea said she hadn't seen you. Chelsea, she know it tonight. She decided to come home early. Don't ask me why. You still haven't answered my question. I've been looking for Kieranna. I'd fun to say she was missing. What about you? What do you think? I've been looking too. All right, all right, all right. We've all been searching for Kira.
Now where have you just come from, Jazza? Me I was checking in the Arc State Hall. Uh-huh, and Tracy, where have you checked? Before I nipped home again I looked round the cricket ground. The pavilion's all locked up and she's not in the scoring box. Hang on a minute. Uh have you found her? No.
We've just been along the river. Uh you all right, love. Oh Dad, I don't understand why she hasn't at least sent a message. She must realise how worried we'd be. Why wouldn't she let me know she's okay? I know, I know. I'm sure she is so um We're just working out where we've searched so far. Now, you check the river. Yeah. Where else? Um Nightingale Farm and the stables. And I check the church. What about the woods behind the graveyard? Uh
No. Well maybe we should. After all the bridle path that runs through'em leads directly from Grange Farm. Let's go and look, eh? Together it doesn't need two of us, does it? Why don't I go? No, those woods are pretty thick between us. We'll cover more ground. All right, but Jasso, just go with Neil. Okay, come on then. I'm coming.
Oh and Emma! Try not to worry, love. Kira's got to be somewhere. I know. Thanks, Dad. Have you got any idea where she might be? Not a clue. And nothing that made you think she was planning to run away. No. I mean Obviously things have been awful with George, but I thought we had a nice Christmas. She seemed okay. I can't have been paying her enough attention. Hey, don't start blaming yourself. Have you spoken to it?
George, I mean, do you reckon he might know where she's gone? I wouldn't have thought so. It's not like they're close these days. He's the reason she left. Would he even care? She is still his sister. You never know. She might have shared something. Even if it's only a hundred. Maybe you should try giving him a call.
Jaster, where are you going? This way. Maybe we should double check the chats again. Will and Emma have already searched round there. No, I know, but if she's hiding. Jasser, come on! We're supposed to be checking the bridle path. All right. It's Grandad! Shout if you can hear me! I don't think we'll see it anyway. There's nothing done here! Well, we still need to check. We're running out of places to look.
Tracy told me about the fight at your place yesterday. Alright. Sounds like it was lucky you walked in when you did. There's Brad. George didn't actually hurt him, did he? Nah. Scarper pretty much as soon as he saw me. Wish I knew what was gonna become of that lad. He seems determined to burn all his bridges. Aye, well, you read what you saw.
I can't see Kira anywhere. Let's go and check somewhere else. Wait, wait. Can you hear that? That's coming from up ahead. Jaza quick, point your torch that way. What's that? What's that? It looks like a... Oh lord! It is! It's a body! Is George still not answering? No, it's just going to voice. I'm not surprised after the way we left things. Yeah, let me try on my phone. I don't expect he'll pick up but you never know. Emma? Will? Oh hiya fallad. Uh Lillian's just told me.
So anything I can do, do you do you need more people to search? Oh yeah, thanks. Okay. Um have you contacted the police yet? No, not yet. I suppose I was just um Hoping we find her. It's only been a few hours. You know what fourteen year old girls are like. She's probably at a house party with her mates. Do you think? Oh hang on, het is Ed. Oh finally. Has she found her? No. He's over by Mornay's he's gonna go and check the uh
EV charging station. Oh, tell him we don't need to. Eddie's already checked there. Eddie has, but he was with Ed. Not when I saw him, you weren't. I ran into him on my way to the cricket ground. I guess they must have split up. I'm gonna ring Ed. I don't understand why he's not been answering my call. Like I thought. George not picking up for you neither. No. What? No, no, no. What's the matter? My phone's died. What am I meant to do now?
What if Kira tries to call? How's she gonna get through? Yay, come on. I can't believe this is happening. Right, why don't we go back to mine? We can charge a phone there. That's a good idea. Yeah, we'll talk to Harry. They'll know what to do. Yeah, alright, uh, thank you, Fallon. I just need to know she's okay. Of course you do. Come on. I will never forgive myself if something's happened to her. She's my precious girl.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah, his name's George. He he's my grandson. Please hurry, I can't find a pulse. Say that again! Already an ambulance on the way? No, no, no, no, I tried to shake him awake but well I think maybe someone's cloated him with a bottle there's blood all in his hair and there are shards of glass everywhere. Sorry, sorry? What?
Yeah, yeah, all right. Jazzo Jazza W Look, put your coat over him, will you? Keep him warm. Wait. I think I can hear an ambulance. Yes, yes, it's coming now it No, no, of course I understand. Yes, thank thank you for your help. Jason, what are you doing? I told you put your coat over him. Sorry, sorry. Never mind. Go on. Go back to the road and and wait for the ambulance, will you? Ambulance, right? Well go on. I okay. We should keep you warm. George! George! Come on, lad! Okay. George?
Fallon, hang on, is that an ambulance? Oh my god, it is Emma, Emma, don't jump to conclusions. It could be going anywhere. Now now come inside. Hopefully Harrison's still away. But what if it's for Kira? It won't be. How do you know? I have to find out where it's going. Emma wait! Don't you wanna charge your phone? Em, where are you going?
M! Hold on. Alan, where's Emma going? She's gone after the ambulance. Have you any idea who it's for? Me? Not a clue. She's worried it's for Kira. But that's what me and Will were coming to tell her. Panic over! Kira's been found. Dad? What's happening? Emma. Where are the paramedics going? Is it Kira? No don't panic. It is, isn't it? Emma, can you listen? Just tell me what's happened. It's not Kira.
It's it's not. No. That's what I've been trying to tell you. Chris has found her. She's safe. What? Really? Oh, oh, thank God! So who's the ambulance for then? It it Dad I don't know how to change it. Jazer and I found him just lying on the ground. I I I'm so sorry both of you. It's George. What do you mean it's George? What's happened to him? I'm not sure. It looked like he'd been attacked. Attacked. How badly? No. No, no, he can't have been. Dad, I asked you a question. How badly is he hurt?
Emma. Why wouldn't you answer me? Are you? Emma, no! No, stay here! Dash, you let go! You get out of my way! Let the paranoids do their job! I have to see for myself! But love! I have to be with George! Eddie, where are you going? The entrance was just there! I can't stop, love. It's for ambulances only. Now don't fret. There are spaces just here. It was me, Eddie.
I did this. Don't be silly. No, I'm serious. I am responsible. If I hadn't walked out on George. You couldn't know someone was going to attack you. No, but I slapped him, Eddie. I called him a loser. What if that's the last thing he ever hears me say? Hey, don't talk like that. George is going to be fine. We're gonna find out what ward is on, and when we do, it's gonna be as right as rain. Do you hear me? Yes, I hear you.
Rydyn ni'n meddwl am Kyra. Edd and Clary are looking after her. She's safe and sound back home. Where did Chris find her? Oh, on the Ring Road. Heading to Darrington. And she's OK? I told you she's fine. A bit in burws, maybe. I don't think she really knew where she was planning to go. She's got a few friends over that way. I bet that was it. I need to call her, ma'am. Can I borrow your phone? Mine's run out of battery. Oh, yeah. Honestly love, there's no need to fret. You just focus on George.
Have the police spoken to you? No, not yet. I came with George in the ambulance. Dad and Jazza are both given statements. And they've cordoned off the bridal patch. Your dad said there was a smashed wine bottle next to George when they found him. He thought maybe that's what he'd been eat with. I can't imagine you'd do such a terrible thing. Can you? What do you mean? Can you? Emma? Remember those guys on the same prison wing as George? Who were part of that gang that attacked Kenton?
Rydw i'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w'w! Emma, we have to tell the police And then what? You saw what they did to Jolene and Kenton? Well I know, but if we think they're responsible Yeah, and what if I'm wrong? It's just gonna put George back on their radar. Anyway.
It's hardly like there aren't plenty of other people who'd like to see George come to harm. But not enough to assault him. Not enough to leave him bleeding and unconscious. Well you really don't think so, after all the people George has hurt. The truth is it it could have been anyone. Emma, Susan, we've been wandering all over. Thankfully we found a kind nurse. How's George? What's happening? Is he He's alive. Thank God.
Uh we don't know much more than that. Can we see him? No, not at the moment, Amber. The doctor's up with him. He's had a CT scan and uh It showed he's got a fractured skull. Fractured? Oh good lord. Uh uh he's not come round yet. But he will wake up, won't he? I don't know. I haven't been able to speak to anyone properly. I'm okay, I'm fine. Uh Neil and Will have gone to get coffee. Guess it's uh a case of just having to wait and see. I'm gonna ring Kira.
I'll uh I'll go out in the corridor. Oh okay. You know the pin for my phone, don't you? Uh yeah. You go on, love. Thanks, S. I don't get it. How can they not know? They're doctors. They they must have some idea if he's going to be okay. Not necessarily. Well they could at least let us see him. No, I know. All we can do now is hope and pray. That's our job. Now come on, sweetheart why don't you sit down next to me?
Oh that's fine. If Kira don't want to talk to me, just um just tell her I'm not angry with her. I should have noticed something was wrong. I know, but just so she knows, the only thing that matters is that she's okay. Uh I'm um Ed just wish you could be here. How come you wasn't answering your phone? No, before my battery ran out, I didn't know where you were. Okay, I'm only asking. Will thought maybe you didn't have signal. Oh okay. No, if you have to go Yeah, I will. Love you too.
And I Alice, what are you doing here? I don't blame you, Susan. Suddenly this random girl turns up saying she's engaged to your grandson total stranger. And then all that stuff with your mum's engagement ring and telling you he didn't want you at his homecoming party. I'm sorry. I've been awful to you.
I really do love George, though. You believe that, don't you? I know you love him, Anne, but you don't have to convince me he's okay. Yeah, Susan's right. Whatever's gone on in the past don't matter now. We've all said and done things we wish we hadn't. But what we need to do now is pull together for George. Don't you reckon, Susan? Yes, Edie, I do. We can't change what's happened, but we can try to move on. How are you doing love? Feeling a bit better now?
Yeah. Are you sure? Yeah, I'm sure. Sorry for crying on you. Is my mascara everywhere? I must look a stained. No, not at all. Where were you when you heard about George? Huh? You were uh at uh Jazza and Tracy's weren't you? Yeah. Didn't go out partying then? No, I I just stayed in. Right. I'm gonna go and find the toilets. Tidy myself up a bit. Oh, uh yeah. All right. I think they're uh back down the corridor by the lifts. Okay. Thank you.
Oh poor girl Yeah I uh meant what I said by the way about making mistakes We shouldn't have had to end up here. Oh no, Eddie. Oh no. After George left the pub, I went after him. I spoke to him outside. I wanted to make sure he didn't do anything stupid. We ended up having quite the heart to heart. Really? What did he say? That's why I'm here. He he told me about some of what's been going on. He was beside himself, Emma, beating himself up for the pain he'd caused.
He was terrified you'd never forgive him. He actually said that. But I told him though i if he's genuinely sorry, then of course he would. He was desperate to put things right. I dunno, Alice. He might have told you that. He meant it, I promise you. He was coming to find you. What? Yes. To tell you how remorseful he was. I wouldn't be here saying this to you if I didn't think he was sincere. Wait, so is that why he was on the bridal path? He was coming up to the farm? Yeah.
This was all outside the ball. That's right. And then he what he walked off towards the bridge. But I did try to offer him a lift. Did you see anything? I mean, did anyone uh follow him? W was there anyone else about? No. Sorry Rydyn ni'n meddwl ydych chi'n ysgrifennu? Rydyn ni'n ysgrifennu? Rydyn ni'n ysgrifennu. Rydyn ni'n ysgrifennu? Rydyn ni'n ysgrifennu. Rydyn ni'n ysgrifennu. Rydyn ni'n ysgrifennu. Rydyn ni'n ysgrifennu.
I suppose I could ask No no, I expect the police will be going round everyone anyway. And obviously I'll tell them everything I've just told you. Yeah, please do. Y you might be the last person who saw him other than the person who did it, of course. George is going to be okay, you know. He's a strong lad, he'll pull through. Whatever's happened, I I still like to think of you as my sister. Oh Alice. Oh I'm so sorry, Emma. Oh come here.
I still can't say I'd have done what you did. No, I know. But I can see how you and Neil felt you had to turn George in. We didn't want to do it. We all know George ain't no angel, though. I guess that's what I found hard to accept. Now ain't the right time to talk about that though. No. But thank you, Adel. Oh it's not as if I haven't gone over that day again and again in my head. Did we do the right thing? Could we have dealt with it differently? Who knows?
If George hadn't gone to prison, we might not be here now. That's not your fault, though. He made his choices. If you ask me, George was probably always heading down a bad road. You did the right thing. Thank you, Aday. I've been trying to work out how long he must have been lying there. Tracy says he came into the bull about half eleven. The bull? I thought he was bored. No, didn't stop him wanting to be served.
Although he was already half cut apparently. You joking? Tracy managed to persuade him to leave, so if he left then and Neil and Jazza found him around half twelve quarter to one. He could have been lying there in the freezing cold for almost an hour. Yeah, possibly. Where were you? Eh? You weren't in the pub then. Oh no, no. Uh we were meant to be walking down with Edward and Emma, but and Kira went missing. Me and Edward went straight out looking for her.
Still, at least we don't have to worry about her now. We could still be looking for her if it wasn't for your Christopher. Oh, don't bear thinking about. Not knowing if George is gonna make it is terrible enough. Mum, Ed Age. Oh, what is it, Emma? Have you spoken to Kira? No, but one of the doctors just came to find me. George is awake. George? Can you hear me? It's mum. I love sweetheart. Can you open your eyes? Look, Amber's here too. Amber. It's wonderful to see you.
We've been so scared. Your dad's just outside, and so are Nana and Granddad and Grandpa. We're only allowed to be in here two at a time, but everyone is desperate to see you. So sorry for what I said before. I just need you to get better, okay? No need to worry about anything else. We'll work all of that out later. Yes, Aunt Clay. We just want you home. I uh I'm sorry, Mum. I know. It's all my fault. Do you remember what happened, George? Did you see who attacked you?
Oh d don't worry, babe. Look, if it's too hard to talk There was a noise. Behind me it was dark. Okay. A noise behind you and then what? Uh uh Maybe not now, Emma. Perhaps it'll c come back to him later. I saw someone. Standing over me. Who was standing over you? I Yeah. Yeah. Go on. Ah I Tell us, sweetheart, who was it? Who did this to you?
