[juanty old-time music]
[Radio Host] Oh,
there's nothing like
a big band finish, is there?
Here's a lovely letter.
Bob from Liverpool writes in,
requesting a record be played
for wife and number-one
Marc Bolan-fan, Sally,
to celebrate their first
wedding anniversary.
They've been married
a whopping year.
Now according to Bob,
a few years ago,
he was working in a
record shop in London.
And one day, none other
than Marc Bolan walked in.
A couple of dropped jaws later,
cheeky Bob complimented
the diminutive rockstar on
the T-shirt he was wearing.
Quick as a flash, Mr. Bolan
whipped off his T-shirt,
handed it to Bob,
telling him to enjoy it.
And exited the shop
bare-chested
with only his Afghan coat
for comfort. [laughs]
What a cracking story.
Oh, we love you, Marc.
Happy anniversary,
Bob and Sally.
And as requested,
here's T. Rex
with their latest release,
Calling All Destroyers.
["Calling All Destroyers"
by T.Rex.]
Walking wild at midnight

Holding hands with my love
Get off him! Get off him!

-Aw, sit down.
What's wrong with you all?
Like a bunch of
wild bloody animals.
And why is it
always you, Simmons?
Oh, that's enough.
Tracy, come and get him
cleaned up, will ya?
Turn that bloody thing off!
-I can't hear myself think!
-[music stops]
Sorry, Vicar.
Now I'm telling yous all,
if the vicar goes back
and tells Mr. Ratton
that there's been fighting,
yous'll never be let out again.
So wise up the lot of yas.
And you stay there.
Now, we get inside,
you go straight to your seats,
and you stay there
until the interval.
You don't have an interval
at a rock concert.
You're a clever
one, aren't ya?
Right, who needs a whaz?
-[chidren] Me.
-Yeah, might've thought.
All right, so pack up all your
stuff and let's get it on.
-[children laughing]
-All right, you're laughing now.
You're laughing now.
In years to come,
you'll be thanking me.
Saying I was there, I witnessed
the greatest ever
rock and roll superstar
that ever lived.
-You okay?
-Crossingham, he's all mouth,
no trousers.
Always picking on our kids.
Did you see it?
Got him right in
the f*cking nose.

Drew, tell me if
they do anything else?
Got that?
Here.
-Your dress is dead pretty.
-Thanks.
They were being
horrible to your brother.
They were being

But you won't fool the

No, you won't fool the
Children of the revolution
No, no, no
[chanting] We want Marc!
We want Marc! We want Marc!
Yes, Vicar?
I'm a friend of Mr. Hanson.
Yes, he instructed us to
come straight backstage
-after the show.
-Of course.
-I'll put a call out now.
-Thank you.
I wouldn't have put you
down as a Bolan fan, Vicar.
Still, suppose it
takes all sorts, eh?
-Yes?
-Did you enjoy that?
-[children] Yes.
-Who was your fave?
-Marc?
-Yeah, the singer, yeah?
Yous wait here, okay?
Their man's quite
steady, look.
Shh.
How do you do,
Father, I'm Tony.
Tony, how do you do?
Nice to finally put a face
with all those phone calls.
Indeed it is.
And thank you very much.
That was delightful.
-Pleasure.
-Tony, this is Simon.
-How do you do?
-Howdy.
Simon is the children's
home supervisor.
Oh, excellent.
Looks like you got your
work cut out for you, huh?
Okay, kids, are you
ready for this?
-It's Marc.
-You ready?
-[children] Yeah.
-[Tony] No, no, I can't
hear you, are you ready?
-[children] Yes.
-Okay, let me walk
you through now.
Follow me, everyone,
come on, come on.

What? What?
Shut up [laughs]!
Watching yous in the back.
-Little Getz.
- It's all f*cking Getz.
Don't let your daddy
hear you say that.
Don't f*cking care.
All right, just
stop at the chippy
on the way back, driver.
-[melancholic music]
-[rain hitting windows]
Do it, or we'll do you.
Yeah, and if you
don't, we'll tell Simon
you stole these.
-Didn't.
-Yes, you did.
And we'll also tell him that
you showed your d*ck to us.
Do it.

Admiral Griffiths,
you can go f*ck yourself.
-It's coming on lovely.
-Do you think?
I'm a little bit
worried about his eye?
Well, as your best
mate, it's good.
For a cake.
So what time
are we gathering later?
-Uh, sunset.
-[door chimes jingling]
Right, and what time
is that, exactly?
10-ish.
All set
for our trip tomorrow?
-I can't wait.
-Okay, good.
Well, I was thinking that
maybe we could set off
at like six, promptly.
-How do you feel about that?
-Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.
God, that's early, isn't it?
Sorted, London tomorrow,
-sunset tonight.
-Sunset-ish.

Hi!
Oh, wow, it looks amazing.
-Penny's work.
-Oh, and look at the cake.
[birds chirping]
[woman]
Ah, so beautiful.
Matt would've loved it here.
Special.
Really special.
-This is the shoe.
-It is, yes.
And who has the other one?
-Sorry?
-Who has the other one?
Oh, sorry, you
weren't here, were you,
for last year's
birthday celebrations?
My father knew, well, sort
of knew Marc's manager.
And Marc very kindly
donated a pair of shoes
to the local children's home
where my father was
residential chaplain.
-Such a sweet thing to do.
-Yes, it really was.
They insisted that I take
one of the shoes.
Oh, look,
it's getting close.
Ready?
Oh.
Can birds go cross-eyed?
Are you gonna
say something?
Who's going first?
God speed, Marc.

Oh, God.
[door shutting]
[door opening]
Oh, hello.
-Hi.
-Oh,
you've been doing your, uh--
-how was it?
-Good.
Very good.
Apart from one of
the doves dropped dead.
-Stefan thinks heart attack.
-Oh, dear.
We buried it under a tree
with some twigs, wild flowers.
-It was lovely.
-Hmm, that's good.
Right, now I'm off for
Marc's big birthday tomorrow.
We leave at 6:00 AM.
Marc?
Oh, Marc, yes, of course.
Oh, that's tomorrow, is it?
Geraint, you haven't
forgotten, have you?
It's been in the
diary for months.
-But it's not a problem, is it?
-No, no, no, no.
Not at all, no.
You go on now, you go and do
your thing and enjoy yourself.

Mr. Bolan comes
with the marriage.
Take care.

Thanks.
And thank you clearly
for trusting us.
[Penny sighing]
Oh.
It's really happening.
Yeah, unbelievable.
Never thought we'd
get our asses in gear.
[Penny] Isn't it nice
to get off the island?
-[Steffan] Alcatraz.
-Oh, stop.
You know, I love it there.
Yeah, but what?
-But nothing.
-No something.
Nothing.
25 years.
I know.
Where were you again?
Uh, I was with my
mom and dad, I think.
-You think?
-I know.
I can still remember my dad
reading the newspaper
headline over breakfast.
Pop star k*lled as car
crashes into tree at 5:00 AM.
And I can remember thinking
even then, how tragic.
And what was he doing
out of bed at 5:00 AM?
[chuckles]
What do you like?
Obsessed about the
bloody time even then.
[Penny] I mean, what
time will we get there?
[Steffan laughing]
[birds chirping]
Happy Birthday, Wonder Boy.
Cheers.
We should've brought the shoe.
-Next time.
-Might not be a next time.
[Steffan] Cheerful.
It's perfect.
I'm really glad we came.
Missed a bit.
Oh, no he hasn't.

Keep still, will ya?
Right, go ahead.
-I wanna be--
-No, you gotta say,
when I'm older.
When I'm older,
I wanna be an architect,
a teacher, or a nurse.
You can't be a nurse,
you daft git.
You gotta be a doctor.
When I'm older, I wanna
be an architect,
a teacher, or a doctor.
Good lad, your turn.
When I'm older, I want to
be a shopkeeper and a singer.
But most of all, I wish
I wasn't an only child.
I just know
I wanna be different.
How different?
Don't know, just said it.
Different, someone else.
Someone better than me.
Stop blinking, will ya?
Jimmy, why does
Tommy bully you?
-He's scared of me.
-Why scared?
Scared I might find him out.
What do you mean?
Find him out?
He hates himself.
Feel sorry for him.
Ah, there you are.
Come along, Penelope.

[man] Ooh.

Well, I do you hope
you're not thinking
of leaving without me.
Steffan, I'm really sorry.
I have meant to text you, but
I've had a terrible migraine.
It's fine.
You didn't think I'd
forgotten, did you?
Can you imagine?
Turning up without me?
All those vicars' wives.
Certainly set tongues wagging.
Are you sure
you're well enough?
Do I look well enough?
Yes.
Yes, you do.
Good.
Grab your coat.
[piano playing]
[women speaking Welsh]
Oh, sorry my dear,
we do go on a bit.
-Yes.
-Harry recently went with John
to his first football
game in Liverpool.
Yeah, a little
birthday present.
They had to park miles away
and John was convinced
they were gonna come back
to the car on bricks.
It wasn't Liverpool though,
it was that other team, um...
-Have no idea.
-Everton.
Everton, of course,
that's it, dreadful place.
So rundown.
They got totally lost trying
to find the football pitch.
-[Penny] Goodeson Park.
-Sorry?
Well, that's where
they play, Everton.
Goodeson Park.
It's their football ground.
I think it's very
beautiful there, actually.
Are you from
Liverpool originally?
Me?
No.
Of course not.
It surprises me.
Only I'm usually very
good at spotting them.
-Spotting what?
-Accents.
-Thought I detected it
in your voice.
-Did you?
Oh, we better watch our
purses then. [laughs].
Teasing you.
No, but there's definitely
a twang there somewhere.
Listen to me,

Well in that case, Sherlock,
why don't you go and investigate

I-- I just knocked
off from work, uh...
Hey. You left this.
You-- you--
you got it, yeah.
Yeah.
[mutters]
-Oh.
-No, you--
It's all right.
Would you care to come in?

Uh, I, uh--
got to, uh...
Right, uh, sorry,
I've got to, uh...
Oh, sorry.
[wood creaking]
[wood creaking]
It's cozy.
Have you had it long?
Uh, it's not mine.
Um, just on here for ages.
I see.
That fit.
Have you been having
them a long time?
Since the crash, ya know.
Banged me head.
I'm sorry.
Do you hurt yourself
when you have them?
Uh, sometimes.
How many do you have?
You take medication
for it though, yeah?
Jimmy.
Not at the present time.
Why?
I, uh, I don't know.
When?
About 10 Years ago.
That's no good, Jimmy.
That's no good at all.
Right, I'll help you out.
We'll get something sorted.
You have to take your tablets.
I stayed, ya know.
After you had your fit,
until you calmed down a bit.
I often wondered, you know,
if I'd recognize you
if I saw you again.
You changed your hair since.
I stayed the same though, eh?
Oh.
Got some books.
Yeah.
Read a bit.
I'm starving.
I got some cornflakes.
[bread crunching]
I loved the bubbles,
by the way.
How do you make them so big?
Well, it's, um...
it's just air wrapped
in a soap film.
Same principle as
the small ones, really.
It's just the larger the wand,
the larger the bubble.
It really all comes
down to the solution.
Do you have many
mates down here?
Um...
acquaintances, yeah.
Well, tell me about them.
Um, well, there's, uh...
there's Dennis, he looks
after the park, yeah.
We sometimes talk.
He smokes a lot of weed.
I think it's like
a prop for him, you know?
I don't think he can
have a normal conversation
without them.
And then there's,
uh, Jez and Scott.
Yeah, they pop by after
the pub sometimes.
Jez is a mate.
I think.
Right.
And then there's Jane.
Jane first saw Marc
with a boyfriend on
the 16th of February, 1969
at the Fairfield Hall Croydon.
And wet herself with excitement.
Wow.
That's a fan, all right.
Does anyone help you
clean the statue?
No.
Not-- not really.
[rock music]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music stops]
How did you end up here?
I came with Jane.
-Wet herself Jane?
-Yeah.
Can I meet her?
She had to go away.
I have schizo
effective disorder.
It's easy for me to say
I'm a bipolar schizophrenic
global warming.
[Penny] When did
you find that out?
I got diagnosed
when I was in Bristol.
It's a lovely city.
Shame about the sl*ves.
Yeah.
What were you
doing in Bristol?
Well, it's the next big
place to Cardiff.
They found me.
Fully clothed, thrashing about
in the millennium fountains.
Convinced I was Cary Grant's
illegitimate son.
I'm a bit prone
to hallucinations.
-Cary Grant?
-Yeah, there's a statue
to him, Cary.
He's a-- he's a Bristol boy,
done good.
I cleaned that too.
72 hours continually,
at the end.
Put me in a psychiatric
unit for nine months.
I was, uh, I was intriguing.

-I need to sit down.
Now, where are you going?
Don't be so rude to Zo.

-Zoe, yeah.
Go on, give her a kiss.
Oh, shut up, ignore him.
He's a stupid pillock.
Pillock?
Pillock, haven't heard

Don't stand for that, Jimbo.
-Not him, you.
-Oh, that's not very nice.

-Oh.
-Ah.

He's cold.
'Ere, who was that bird you
were talking to earlier?
Had a right go,
she did.
Yeah, you was probably
being rude to her.
I wasn't.
Yeah, I was.
'Ere, Jimbo, hurry
up with them beers.
Don't be left out,
come on, come here.
Come here.
No, here!
That's an order,
not an invitation.
[woman] Leave him alone,
ya big bully.
I'm not a bully.
'Ere, Jimbo, you're getting
me into trouble there now.
Not very nice, is it?
I said come here.
Come on.
Chop, chop.

-Cheers, you lot.
-Cheers.
Good boy.
Here, Jimbo.
If you ask really,
really nicely,
the lovely Zoe here might
give you a big, sloppy kiss.
f*ck off, how many
times have I told ya?
-I won't, yeah?
-No.
It's not funny.
Oh, hello?
What's this?
You've got
a visitor, Jimbo.
-That's my sister.
-Oh, is that right?
She come to tuck
you up, has she?
[Jez laughs]
You all right, Jimmy?
Ah, yeah.
Who are these people?
These people?
Well, that's not
very nice, is it?
These people are actually
very good friends with James.
And I don't particularly like
the tone of your
voice, sweet heart.
I'd like you to go now.
Yeah, come on, Zoe,
getting late.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, what's this?
Hey, do you live here?
Because if you don't,
you can f*ck off.
'Cause we aren't
going nowhere.
-Yeah, I am, I'm gone.
-Sit down, Zoe.
No, I've had enough.
-Mom, I'll call us a cab, yeah.
-Yeah, f*cking hell.
Well, I'm staying.
Not gonna let some stupid
c**t talk to me like that.
You-- you don't
call her that.
[Jez laughing]
Jimbo. Isn't Jimmy
getting all upset.
Sticking up for
his stupid sister.
Shut it, you prick.
It's all right,
Jimmy, you're okay.
-Maybe we should.
-What?
-Girls are in there.
-f*ck 'em.
Dozy pair of twats.
Anyway, I'd rather stay here
and have a laugh with
my mate Jimbo here.
Do that again, I'll rip
your f*cking hair out.
Who is he, Jimmy?
I told you.
-We're very good friends.
-You get the f*ck
out of here now!
[man]
Hey, leave it, Jez.
It's not worth it.
You better be
really f*cking careful
what you say to me next.
[man]
f*ck it, I'm outta here.
Nah, can't be bothered.
See ya next time, Jimbo.
When we're not so
rudely interrupted.
You wanna chill out, lady.
We're only having
a laugh, b*tch.
-You all right, Jimmy?
-Yeah.
You need to get
a lock on that door.
Well, I had.
Uh, Jez broke it off.
Your mate, Jez?
It's all right, love.
It's not your fault.
There are knob heads
like that everywhere.
I thought that was
just in Liverpool.
I thought you were
gonna knot him.
So did I.
[chuckles]
Uh...
well, better tidy.
[bottles clinking]
So, uh,
what do you want, sis?
That doesn't matter now.
We can talk about
it in the morning.
Can I stay?
Yeah. Yeah.
[birds chirping]
[Jimmy]
It was my fault.
I caused the crash that
k*lled little Penny
and the coach driver
and seriously injured nine
men, women, and children.
All because I didn't wanna
get a slapper on me hair.
I'll have a sacrifice
to make her now.
[singing indistinctly]
[indistinct]
You're a 13-year-old kid who
can't even breathe properly
and has his 10-year-old
kid sister close by
to take care him.
And then you don't think
about what happens,
you're the reason
that others die.
People are maimed and injured.
And you're dragged away
screaming and shouting.
But the trouble is,
the problem is...
there's nobody else
to blame but yourself.
Then something really
strange happens.
Resignation sets in.
[]
And you become a
self-fulfilling prophecy.
Like [indistinct].
You were so badly
bullied, Jimmy.
I still did it though!
So...
so what do I do, Sis?
We gotta be answered.
[birds chirping]
[]
[waves lapping]
It's change loads, hasn't it?
Do you ever think
about the home?
I remember Mr. Ambrose's
buck teeth.
And Doreen
the dinner lady's wig,
especially when it--
when it fell into
Mrs. Castle's tomato soup.
-[Penny chuckles]
-And Simon, do you remember
when he tried to help
by fishing it out and
handing it back to her?
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
She tried to put
it back on her head.
And the soup was
dripping down her face.
Yeah, and a bit
went in her eye,
and she were like, like.
God, do you remember
when we were kids,
we used to think that Wales
was some far-off
magical land, didn't we?
[Jimmy] Yeah.
You know, it's lovely there.
We've got some
beautiful beaches.
They go on for miles.
I think you'd love it there.
Anglesey, why do
you live in Anglesey?
It's quiet.
Lots of space.
The lighthouse, there's loads
of different kinds of birds.
You'd love it, you know, mate.
Yeah.
[gull squawking]
I've been someone else, Jimmy.
I've been someone else
for a really long time.
I've been Penny.
What, uh, Penny?
What?
After she died,
I took her identity
and I ran away.
Is that why your
hair and your clothes
were different when I--
sh*t, aye.
I just wanted
all of that stuff,
you know, all of that stuff
that we used to lie
in bed at night,
dreaming about at the home.
Did you get it?
Sadie didn't.
But Penny did.
Some of it.
You gonna run away again?
Not from you, no.
But I have to go home.
Jimmy, we've gotta
go back to Anglesey.
You see, I'm married.
Penny's married.
To a lovely man.
Very kind.
But I need to go home and
explain to him what I've done.
-Yeah, yeah.
-You understand?
Yeah, no, you-- you--
you-- yeah.
You gotta do that, yeah.
You gotta do that.
I never had kids.
The accident.
Yeah.
Do you like living in London?
Yes.
This-- this is okay, yeah.
No, I hate it.
[laughs]
Well, why do you live there?
Well, it's the shrine.
It's Marc.
It's the only thing
I still believe in.
[exhales]
Come on.
Come on, let's go.
What? What are we doing?
We're going on a magical
mystery tour.
-Come on.
-All right.

[birds chirping]
[Penny] Excuse me.
Hi.
[]
[]
[]
Goodbye, Penny.
Thank you.
[]
[birds chirping]
This is Jimmy.
My brother.
Can we come in, please?
[Geraint] Come in.
Would it be all right if
he stayed a little while?
Yes, of course.
Yes, of course.
Would you like some tea?
Um...
I think he'd prefer
a lie down.
Fine, well, you two,
you go ahead.
And, um, I'll be in my study.
Thank you.
Come on, I'll show
you to your room.
Your bathroom's
just down the hall.
Don't worry, Jimmy.
I'll tell him everything.
And tomorrow we'll go and get
you meds sorted, all right?
Yeah.
Get some sleep, it's been
a really long day.
Sis?
Are you gonna
be Penny or Sadie?
You can't be both.
Get some rest.
[door shuts]
[door opens]
-Look, the thing is...
-I didn't--
Sorry, go on.
Um, actually, I think
I'm just really tired.
I should probably
just go to bed.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
-All right?
-Yeah.
[door shuts]
[sighs]
[bird squawking]
[car passes]
-[car passing]

[gulls squawking]
[clock ticking]
[Geraint] Here we are.
[Geraint exhales]
You must know I love you.
You've always
looked after me.
Cared for me.
Put up with
my funny... ways.
And I'm truly sorry
for what I'm about
to tell you.
I've kept the most
awful secret from you
for such a long time.
And I am so, so sorry.
But I need you to know now.
Everything.
[gulps]
My name's not Penny.
Because I'm not Penny.
I've been lying to you.
About everything.
I didn't run away
from a hated family
because I never
really had a family.
My real name...
is Sadie.
[clock ticking continues]
We lived, Jimmy and me,
we lived in a children's
home in Liverpool
from when
we were very small.
I have tried to find
him over the years,
but he was the classic case,
lost in the system.
There was
a terrible accident.
A coach crash.
People died.
Including a little girl
named... Penny.
She was the vicar's daughter.
And she was my friend.
Jimmy was blamed
for the coach crash.
He was sent away.
And I never saw
him again, until I--
I...
[muffled voice speaking]
Drink some tea.
[banging]
It's nothing,
it's the, um, just the heat
coming on there then.
[clock ticking continues]
Go on.
The headaches, the back
pain, it was the accident.
I was in the hospital
for two months.
And when they sent
me back to the home,
that's when I found out that
the kids who had bullied Jimmy
had forced him to start
the fire on the coach.
They were so cruel to him.
They made his life a misery.
And I swore that one day,
I would get them back.
Especially... Tommo.
He was the ringleader.
I watched him
carrying on,
bullying other kids,
just like he'd
bullied our Jimmy.
And then one day came.
[floor squeaking]
I was older then, stronger.
And I hated him.
I hated him more
than I ever had.
We were-- we were
in the dining hall.
All of the other kids
had gone outside to play.
And I had Tommo on his own.
I told him that he'd better
sleep with one eye open.
That I was gonna get one of
the older lads to batter them.
Just made up a load of
threats, I was a kid.
I wanted him to be scared.
I wanted him to know
what our Jimmy felt like.
And it worked.
He was obsessed.
And then suddenly,
he went for me.
[Tommo yelling]
And there was a scuffle.
[Tommo and Sadie yelling]
Punching, kicking,
biting, hitting.
And then I was on me back,
and he was strangling me.
He was really strangling me,
I couldn't breathe.
And there was this...
mad, blank look in his eye.
I panicked.
I reached out
to grab something.
I got hold of a fork.
I remember...
it was still sticky
with food.
And I started to stab him.
-[Tommo yelling]
-I was just trying
to get him off me.
I didn't even know
if it was doing any good.
I was just stabbing
and stabbing and stabbing.
[Tommo grunting]
[clock ticking continues]
Something hit me in the face.
I hit the artery in his neck.
And they tried
to stop the bleeding.
They put me away.
For manslaughter.
I thought I'd be able to
handle it.
Even then, I was foolish.
But I came up with a plan
for what I would do
when I was released.
I would steal
Penny's identity.
And I would k*ll Sadie off.
I took ages to get it right.
Her voice, her accent,
her mannerisms, but I had all
the time in the world there.
I convinced myself that Penny
had died so that I could live.
I went into that place...
a common no [indistinct].
And I came out the
vicar's daughter.
[crying]
He was only 12.
And I k*lled him.
And I think about
it every day. [sobs]
[clock ticking continues]
[]
Oh.
Oh, no.
Here we are.
This is the moment
I'm meant to say that, um,
I had no idea.
But I did.
Obviously... not what
happened, but...
uh, but you.
I thought it would go...
after we were serious.
Married and together for...
enough time.
But, uh...
it didn't go.
I always knew there
was something wrong.
[door opening]
Jimmy.
Jimmy!
Jimmy!
Jimmy!
Where is he?
Jimmy!
He has fits.
Stress can trigger them.
He might've just
decided to go for a walk.
Oh, God. Jimmy!
-Jimmy!
-Jimmy, where are you?
-Jimmy!
-Jimmy!
I'll ring Steffan.
Thanks for coming.
You have any idea
where he would've gone?
-We need to talk.
-Not now.
I know.
You're my bestest friend in
the world and I love you.
I have no idea
what's going on.
But whatever it is,
I can take it, okay?
And I think I like your hair.
All right then, let's find
this brother of yours.
[vehicle rumbling]
What do you think?
We would've found him if
he was heading for Holly Head.
He might've gone for
a walk on the headland.
[]
[birds squawking]
-[Geraint] Jimmy!
-[Steffan] Jimmy!
[Sadie] Jimmy!
[Steffan] Jimmy!
This?
Think so.
Come on.
[rain pattering]
[Tommo]
Do it, or we'll do you.
[Jez] Having a laugh
with my mate Jimbo here.
[boy] Yeah, and if you
don't, we'll tell Simon
you stole these.
[Tommo] And we'll also
tell him that you showed
your d*ck to us.
-[Jimmy] Didn't.
-[Tommo] Yes, you did.
[Jez] Do that again, I'll rip
your f*cking hair out.
[Tommo]
Do it, do it, do it.
-[voices overlapping]
-[audio distorting]
[]
Please, wait, wait,
wait one minute.
Look.
We're nearly there, Jimmy.
We've had another sighting.
Some walkers say they saw a man
fitting Jimmy's description.
Not too far
from the lighthouse.
Did he look okay?
They didn't say.
We'll get over there
right away.
[]
Hold on, I'm-- I'm tired.
Please wait.
They'll never find us here.
I'm hungry.
Rations.
Oh, yes.
-It's getting late.
-You scared?
-Yeah.
-Why did you run away?
I didn't wanna hear anymore.
-Loose tongues.
-Yeah.
-Did you m*rder someone?
-No.
I did.
I caused a crash
that k*lled a coach driver
and a little girl
called Penny.
-That makes you evil?
-Yeah, I am.
It's 'cause of me,
my-- my sister
went to [indistinct].
We can always k*ll ourselves.
[]
If we're gonna do it,
we'd better be quick.
Well, what about Sadie?
She got a new life here.
She doesn't need ya.
You'll only spoil
it for her again.
Mate, you'll thank me.
You were never there
for her anyway.
You were f*cking useless.
Yeah.
Yeah, I-- I-- I was.
You think now you've
talked about it,
everything
will be all right?
Doesn't work
like that, mate.
You'll never wash
the blood off your hands.
[Sadie] Jimmy!
Jimmy.
We should've done
this years ago.
-Then we wouldn't have had
to suffer so much.
-Suffer so much.
[Young Jimmy]
Here, follow me.
[Sadie] Jimmy.
Jimmy, don't do that.
Don't do that, love.
Please come away
from the edge.
It's really dangerous, Jimmy.
That's it, that's it,
come towards me.
[waves crashing]
Jimmy, please come
away from the edge.
Come on, Jimmy.
All right, sis.
Please, will you come here?
You gave me the other shoe.
It meant the world to me.
Kept me going.
Yeah, like-- like I see you.
I find you like--
like, like Cinderella.
[]
I was your big brother.
I should've looked after you.
Was all the wrong way around.
You looked after me.
You squeezed yourself
when I wet the bed
so I wouldn't
get into trouble.
Still, I--
I let you down, sis.
I left you when
I should've been there
to protect--
to protect you.
I'm-- I'm not
nice person, Sadie.
Don't say that.
Don't you say that, Jimmy.
It's not true.
Not a nice--
[]
Jimmy?
[Jimmy grunting]
Oh, my God, oh, my God,
he's having a fit!
Jimmy!
Jimmy!
[gulls squawking]
[Sadie crying]
-[birds chirping]
-[clock ticking]
[door opening]
How is he?
He's a bit better.
-Good.
-Terrible headache.
He's covered in bruises.
But I think
he'll be all right.
He's sleeping.
It was very, very scary.
Yeah.
Why are you being
so understanding?
Goes with the job.
You have to forgive
yourself, Penny.
And the lies?
You're loving me,
is that a lie?
And I love you.
And your friends love you.
And it's got nothing
to do with your name
-or your accent.
-But I k*lled someone.
Self-defense.
What do you want me to do,
never forgive you?
Ask you to leave?
I won't say I'm not
devastated that you felt
you couldn't tell me.
But I do understand,
I really do.
I have to.
I'm your--
I'm your husband.
What about the others?
-What about them?
-The church.
But the church teaches love
and forgiveness, doesn't it?
Well, let's put it to the test.
Why did you feel you
couldn't tell me?
I wanted to,
but I couldn't.
And then when
the years went on,
the lie just got bigger
and it ran away with me.
And I was scared...
that I would lose you.
Well, you haven't lost me.
[]
I'm so, so sorry
that you've suffered alone
for so long.
[gasps]
[chuckles]
[gulls squawking]
[man] Ah, yes, I spoke
to Cardiff recently.
Well, a few weeks ago now.
They were a bit
vague to be honest.
However, they did
intimate that the changes
would probably happen.
[banging]
[Sadie] Yes!
Uh, the changes
will probably happen
before April next year.
But definitely no time soon.
But surely by then England
will be up and running.
[Sadie]
Oh, for f*ck's sake!
Um, would you, um...
just, uh...
excuse me a moment.
Sadie.
Sadie.
Oh, stop it,
you f*cking child.
Yeah?
We can hear every word.
Oh, sh*t, sorry.
-You nearly ready?
-Yeah.
-10 minutes?
-[rock music]
-Oh, for f*ck's sake.
Jimmy, we're late.
Jimmy, open the door,
it's pissing it down.
You're not ready?
-Um...
-For f*ck's sake, Jimmy.
Come on, we're already late.
In ya go.
I can't believe
When I saw you
I was there, met you,
Just walked in like a fool
I stayed too long
'Cause I'd follow you
Good to see you,
Cadfan, as always.
You keep me informed
about Cardiff now.
Roger that.
Jesus Christ in heaven.
I don't mind,
I really don't mind
Sorry, vicar.
I won't forget it,
No, I won't forget it
You okay?
Will he be all right?
Cadfan?
I hope so, for your sakes.
-11 o'clock good?
-Perfect.
Oh, just here.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
Have a wonderful time,
both of you.
You don't know what
you're missing.
What, dinosaur rock?
Hey.
I love you
I regret it, now of course
I won't forget it
No, I won't forget it
I
No I won't regret it,
No, I won't regret it

[crowd chatter]
Last time I was here,
it was The Damned,
May 28th, 1977.
Bloody fantastic they were.
-You oughta get out more?
-Yeah, yeah.
You can all mock.
I was a cool b*stard
in those days.
-Still am as it happens.
-Clint?
I do love you.
Get off me.
-Darling.
-Hey!
How are you?
-Hi.
-Hi.
-No, no, no, no.
-No, no, no.
It's all right.
Is he all right?
Stand f*cking here, mate.
I won't forget it,
No, I won't forget it
I
I won't regret it,
No, I won't regret it
Some nice stuff.
A bit small.
-[indistinct]
-Yeah.
Aw, that's great, Jimmy.
Room for one more?
Oh, you've gotta
be kidding me!
Just curious.
Here, you look great.
