The Rapture (2026) s01e02 Episode Script

1
This programme contains some scenes which
some viewers may find upsetting from the start
and some strong language
Let's start with the highest needs.
Bethany Krall.
Daughter of Leonard -
The Faith Way guy. You ready?
-Are you afraid of me?
-Are YOU afraid of you?
-When did you lose trust in your dad?
-When he believed I killed my mum.
Carys's left eye had been penetrated
with a screwdriver.
They started when she was about
10 or 11, these "visions".
She's related to my mum somehow.
Find her.
Carys Krall contacts me.
Two days later, she was dead.
Everything led to you.
This isn't a date, you know.
SHE LAUGHS
ALERT BLARES
It's coming. The end.
The Rapture.
GULLS CAW
REPORTER: - The nation
was thrown into panic last night
after activist group
the Climate Front
hijacked the Government's
Emergency Alert system.
Their message, which called for
a "People's Strike" this Thursday,
was sent to over 70 million
mobile ph
PHONE RINGS
-Hiya.
-Hey. Are you OK? I, er Where were you last night?
I tried to call you, but the
the lines were all jammed.
I was worried you got caught up
in all the chaos.
Oh, meeting someone in town.
Work thing.
SHOUTING OVER PHONE
What's going on there?
Yeah, it's, er, it's Climate Front,
inviting people to join the march
on Thursday. In case anyone missed
the memo last night.
The higher-ups will not be pleased.
Er, speaking of which, I should go.
-But, er, are you still good for tomorrow?
-Yeah, sure. Message me.
OK. Bye.
REPORTER: - The Home Secretary
this morning described the action
as "a shocking attack on our
national security infrastructure".
He confirmed that Climate Front's
leader, Anika Drake,
is being held for questioning as the
police's investigation continues.
KNOCK ON DOOR, DOOR OPENS
Hey.
I saw Joy Morgan. She gave me this.
Why didn't you say?
You would have believed me?
Well, no, but
..maybe she saw me at my interview?
No.
This was way before that.
She was pushing and pushing Dr Joy
so YOU would come in.
SHE SIGHS
Ed said Bethany got into the garden
last night.
-What happened?
-She was talking about the end of days.
-The Rapture, she called it.
-Is that something she's spoken about before?
-No.
-You think the alert got to her?
I don't think so.
It was more what she saw.
Can you tell me what the Rapture is?
It's the end of the world.
God decides who to save.
The rest of humanity burns.
Didn't decide to save my mum,
though, so maybe there is no God
-and we all just die.
-Hm, that's interesting, because what - I - just
heard was that my mum's death
was the end of the world for me.
Did you identify the woman I drew
yesterday? The one with the cat?
My job doesn't really work
like that, Bethany.
BETHANY SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION
Is it possible that she was
-a fragment of memory?
-I see the future, not the past.
How many times, Wheels?
Work out who she is.
She knows something about my mum.
CHATTER
-That's MY go-to hangover meal.
-Hmm. Didn't YOU go home
and celebrate not being dead
with half a bottle of vodka?
There'll be a lot more people
striking Thursday.
-Great way to bump up the numbers.
-Hmm! On the other hand,
Leonard Krall's followers
probably doubled overnight.
I know who I'd rather turn out for.
Yeah.
So, I know you think
there's more to this, too.
Otherwise, what are you
meeting with me again for?
OK, well I normally wouldn't
share something like this, but
..do you know this woman?
Did she ever come up
in your research into the Kralls?
No.
Do you think you could find her?
From a drawing?
-Aren't you an investigative journalist?
-Used to be.
Now I'm more of a "oh,
what a lovely prize-winning leek".
Who drew this?
You can't say. I get it.
If I find this woman,
will you tell me more?
PHONE BUZZES
Mm!
Husband wondering where you are?
What do you know about my husband?
Chill! I was Just the bloke
from the wind farm thing.
Oh! Oh, no. He was he was
just trying to keep you away.
-Hello?
-Dr Fox? It's Leonard Krall.
Can I come and talk to you?
I'd be happy to come into Oxsmith.
I'm not there.
But I can come by the centre?
SHE MOUTHS
Sure. That'd be great.
You know where we are, Dr Fox.
I'll see you later.
Your dad's live tonight.
Some singsong shit.
LOUDER: - But we're
not allowed online, are we?
Unless
..I get us a phone.
I have ways and means.
-I don't need your "ways and means".
-Hmm
When was the last time you saw him?
Sentencing.
He looked away
..you know, when they
when they gave the verdict.
My dad's dead.
Still visits me, though.
In there.
HE CHUCKLES
SLAPPING
-Just give me a moment.
-OK.
Sorry, bit hectic here,
getting ready for our event.
Oh, don't worry.
We felt something big was needed
after last night.
I was very worried about Bethany.
Was she OK?
Ah, a bit distressed, like everyone,
but it's all under control now.
Staff have been great.
Well, Ed says you're already
building a real rapport with her.
Hm.
I wanted to ask you
..has she admitted guilt, or is she
still trying to convince herself
that someone else was responsible?
I can't talk about
what goes on in our sessions.
I sense that, in some perverse way,
she blames me for what happened.
I'm hoping that if you can get her
to face the truth
and accept what she did, then
..perhaps she might let me back
into her life.
Those are decisions that Bethany
needs to make for herself.
I just need you to understand
that I'm desperate to see her
and to support her in any way I can.
While I'm here, can I ask you
-about something that might help me as her psychologist?
-Anything.
Can you tell me about the Rapture?
Is she talking about that?
What does that mean to you?
It's certainly not something
to take literally.
The Rapture isn't found
in the original biblical texts.
But it has come up before?
Once.
The week her mother died.
But, for me, it's associated with
a particularly violent side
of Bethany.
- WOMAN:
- Leonard?
Dr Fox, please be careful.
We We do work hard to get patients
to connect with their families
when it's right for them.
Thanks.
I appreciate you coming out here.
SHE TAPS ON WINDOW
Hiya.
Well, why don't you come to the
centre? We've got a singing event.
-Wheels
-Hiya. Can I come in?
Not exactly busy.
I was told you've always refused
your dad's visits.
I'd rather eat glass.
He didn't help me or believe me.
How do you think he feels about you
now?
He thinks I'm
- DEEP VOICE:
- ..evil!
Yet he wants to see you?
Playing the good Christian.
Has he been trying to charm you?
Does that with everyone.
Did he give you, erm, like,
a funky slogan T-shirt
and sing at you?
-Click click clickety-click ♪
-SHE CLICKS HER FINGERS
I did see him.
The Rapture isn't part of his faith.
He has no real faith.
Only believes in himself.
It was different with my mum.
So they didn't share
the same beliefs, your parents?
Maybe once upon a time.
Not after The Faith Way got big.
She just kept face.
What's "face"?
SINGSONGY: - "To go the
Faith Way is to lay down your fear"
"and feel at peace."
We'll get back outside tomorrow.
Shoes off,
carry on with your drawing.
GABS GASPS
I knew you'd help me, Wheels.
-It's my job.
-More than that, though, isn't it?
Nobody saw what happened.
People made assumptions, and
I don't like that. I like certainty.
Mm.
That's not the reason.
Then, what is?
Guilt?
ALL CLICK FINGERS RHYTHMICALLY
CHORAL SINGING
We stand united ♪
WOMAN ON COMPUTER: - I know
there are many seeking to discredit us,
but I am not ashamed of my actions.
Yeah, we went big,
but I believe that climate change
is the single biggest crisis we face
and we need everyone
to engage with that.
-Do we feel good?
-ALL: - Yeah!
-Do we feel alive?
-Yeah!
-What do we choose?
-Hope!
The Climate Front's hijacking
of our national alert system
was just one of many things
designed to make us feel afraid,
small,
helpless.
But when we come here,
when we sing out together,
we don't feel so overwhelmed.
We grow in strength!
CHEERING
-Orange juice and a black coffee?
-Thank you.
-Thanks.
-Have you considered,
is this Dick Carywn
even telling the truth?
Somewhat convenient
the voice message was destroyed.
-Well, it's possible it's part of a cover-up.
-I get it.
As her lawyer,
I wanted to believe her, too.
But nothing you say trumps a drawing
which shows clear intent.
Someone could have seen that picture
and murdered her that way
to frame Bethany.
Dick said Carys was being followed.
Could you at least find out
why Dick's testimony never made it
to court?
He said he spoke to the police -
why did that not get to YOU?
OK, I'll look into it
..if only to save you
getting stuck down a rabbit hole!
HE CHUCKLES
PHONE RINGS
Hiya.
DICK: - I think I may have
located your mystery woman.
Before I give you the info,
I need that story you promised.
Off the record, of course.
-Hi.
-You all right? You built a ramp for me?
-Oh, it's my dad's old place. He had a mobility scooter.
-Oh!
He died a few years back.
Oh, I never thought I'd end up
back here, but, er
..I lost my big job, so
-Erm, just straight through here. Do you want a drink?
-Yeah.
OK So
..the week before
Carys was murdered,
Bethany drew pictures of her mum
with a screwdriver in her eye
..exactly how it then happened.
The jury took that
as evidence of intent,
but Bethany claims
it was a prophecy.
-Come on!
-No, I know!
I know, but she drew me
before she'd ever even met me.
I saw it with my own eyes.
Hmm
Can we still trust our own eyes?
Debatable.
Screwdriver? Wow.
No wonder there were
reporting restrictions.
Come on, tell me who this woman is.
The best match I could find
is someone
..called Daisy Stokes.
Volunteers for a community garden
project in Cardiff.
Her face comes up in the background
of some of the images
from their website.
Can't be sure, but
it's a pretty good match, right?
Yeah, well,
it looks exactly like her.
-How the hell did you find her?
-I've got my methods.
I was just scrolling online,
hoping her face would pop up.
- HE LAUGHS
- That would have got you nowhere,
because Daisy has
no social media presence at all.
No number.
But I got her address
from the electoral register.
Oh, you're an absolute babe!
An absolute babe
who lives in an absolute
shit-hole.
I don't know
Single floor, grab rails, ramp.
Dream pad, actually.
Hey, I, erm
..had to dig around on the internet
to find Daisy,
and any online activity can be
traced, so just be careful.
I need to go outside!
I need to see!
Bad things are coming!
Oh, Daisy Stokes?
I'm Gabrielle.
I'm here about Bethany Krall.
Could I ask you
a couple of questions?
-Yeah I don't think so.
-Please.
I really need your help.
Do you work for them?
Who do you mean?
Look, I'll level with you.
I'm a clinical psychologist.
I work with Bethany at Oxsmith.
I shouldn't really be here,
but Bethany mentioned you.
She claims she's innocent
and you might know something
about her mum's death.
I don't know anything about Carys.
Did you ever go
to the Faith Way Centre?
Erm, yeah
..er, in in the early days, but,
erm, I never knew any of the family.
Not not personally.
And you don't go any more?
No, I find comfort
in other ways now.
Have you ever noticed how Leonard
Krall's always telling people
to get off their phones and then
constantly engaging them online?
I've chosen to switch off properly.
You know, get offline
and back to nature.
Will you be out protesting tomorrow?
Er, just sounds more Climate Front
than Faith Way.
I'm done with all tribes.
CAT YOWLS
Oh, sorry about him.
CAT MEOWS
Sorry, he's two-faced.
One minute he's hissing at you,
the next he's jumping up
into your lap begging for a hug.
PURRING
I rescued him
from the side of the road.
When did you rescue him? Recently?
Erm about three weeks ago.
CAT MEOWS
Is that somehow relevant?
Right, well, sorry I couldn't help.
Daisy
..Bethany's 17 years old.
She's likely to spend
the rest of her life locked up,
so if you know anything else
you want to tell me, please, just
..just call me, yeah?
Thanks.
DOOR CLOSES
This keeps coming.
Something to do with that woman
I keep seeing.
Whoever she is, I'm sure she's OK.
Is she someone you met
at the church?
-You found her!
-No
I knew it! I knew it.
I I had a quick
quick look online, that's all.
She looks like a woman called
Daisy Stokes. Ring any bells?
No, I told you, I have no idea
who she is. Did you meet her?
I can tell that you did!
What did she say? Like
..what does she know?
Did she have a cat?
Have a think
about why that's important to you
Did she have a cat?
Really? You want to play that game?
You know, the one where we pretend
that you didn't speak to this woman,
she's just a a memory
of someone from church.
If you've found her
..you need to warn her.
Warn her about what?
BETHANY EXHALES DEEPLY
All right, what if this is something
that doesn't actually happen?
What if it actually does, though?
REPORTER: - With temperatures
expected to peak in the mid-40s
in London, across the south-east
and south-west of England
and well up into the Midlands,
the Met Office have issued
PHONE RINGS
So
..what's the Stokes scoop?
-She had a cat.
-Right.
Woman has cat.
Just like Bethany predicted!
She only rescued it
a couple of weeks ago.
So a cat Bethany couldn't have known
about, even if she did know Daisy.
DOOR BUZZES
Well, exactly!
How could someone predict that?
How is that even possible?
I don't know. There must be
some sort of explanation. I mean
More likely Bethany's having you on,
right?
Bethany thinks Daisy's in danger.
She drew her hanging.
Whoa. That's weird.
PHONE CHIMES
I've just sent you the drawing.
Bethany keeps saying
I have to warn her.
I feel like I'm going insane.
What am I meant to do?
I can hardly keep turning up
at her house, can I?
Yeah, that's weird, but I still
think she's winding you up.
Go home, have a drink,
put it out of your head.
- CARYS ON VIDEO:
- Three, two, one
SHE SQUEALS HAPPILY
CARYS LAUGHS
OWL HOOTS
Glass of wine?
-Obviously.
-Activists all rounded up?
No, they're still yelling
outside my office all day.
Oh, my God, it's going to be worse
tomorrow with this People's Strike.
-Anyway
-Cheers!
They really get to you,
these protesters, don't they?
Yeah. It's just frankly insane
to be picketing an energy company
that's building a wind farm.
But Trenmoor aren't just doing that,
though.
-Rostyre? -Mm.
-Yeah.
I mean, the Climate Front mounted
a legal case against it.
And, you know, that I understand.
They've forced Trenmoor to pivot
to renewables in the UK
which is great. But, I mean
HE LAUGHS
..what are they expecting?
You can't stop drilling everywhere
overnight, can you?
-Sorry.
-No, no. Well, you're angry,
because part of you feels like
you're changing things from within,
and the other part worries
they might be right.
Wow. Erm
Yeah. You're good.
Oh Sorry.
No.
That's, er That's Alex.
Took that on our honeymoon.
I spent two years in therapy
trying to get over losing him,
and I still feel like
he might walk through the door.
I'm pretty sure I overstepped there,
so that won't happen again.
No No! No,
maybe I want it to happen again.
I don't know,
it's just all really new.
-We need to take things slowly.
-Yeah.
I can do slowly.
PROTESTERS SHOU
REPORTER: - Thousands have
already gathered here ahead of the march
later on, and we're getting reports
of similar turnouts
across the country.
The atmosphere seems
positive and upbeat,
but the Government have confirmed
they are expecting
widespread disruption to schools,
businesses and public transport.
PHONE BUZZES
-Hello! -Did you see it?
-See what?
Put "Bethany Krall"
into your search engine.
I'm afraid there's more. I spoke
to an old friend in the police.
He remembered Dick Carwyn coming in,
but his testimony
never even made it to the CPS.
They didn't take a statement because
they didn't think he was credible -
a history of alcoholism,
a tendency to play fast and loose
with the truth,
according to his former editor.
Oh, I'm well and truly wedged
down that rabbit hole.
I have to go.
Got some press circling.
Fuck!
-Right
-Morning.
Something very upsetting
has come to our attention.
"A source has revealed
that Carys Krall's daughter,
"then 15 years old,"
"drew macabre images of her mother"
"with a screwdriver in her eye"
"before enacting the crime
a week later."
"In court, the teenager claimed"
"the drawing was
'a psychic premonition'."
The article first appeared
in the press
written by a journalist
called Dick Carwyn,
and now it's gone viral.
Leonard's already been in contact
today.
Of course, distraught.
The family made a huge effort
to keep this out of the public eye!
So this leak better not have come
from Oxsmith.
No-one should be talking
to journalists!
We're already short-staffed
because of this strike.
We can't afford anyone kicking off,
least of all Krall.
Anyone got anything else?
SHE SIGHS
VOICE MESSAGE: -
It wasn't me. It's a fake.
I did not write that article!
I would never do that. Please, Gabs.
PHONE BUZZES
Found yourself a nice way to get
back in the headlines, did you?
Gabrielle, listen to me.
This is proof,
-proof there's something bigger to hide!
-Dick! Dick!
Politely, go fuck yourself.
-And never - I mean never - call me again.
-Wait, wait
Can you tell me now?
Did you warn her?
I can't talk about any of this.
How can you just ignore
what I'm showing you?
I'm not ignoring you.
I just wonder how helpful
What are you doing?
I thought you were getting it.
Wheels, what is going on?
Don't do that. Don't look
at each other like I'm mental.
I know this feeling.
It's the same feeling I got
when I predicted my mum's death.
It's like
..like pit-in-the-stomach sick.
She is going to die.
It is so clear.
And you're bottling it.
Ed Blanchett been sitting
on your tail? Is that it?
-Bethany -Please sit down.
-Give me the pen.
You you you're frustrated,
I understand that,
-but we really cannot do this today.
-Bethany! -This is one of those times
where you have got two choices -
good or bad.
So which one are you going to make?
Bad?
Bethany, no!
Bethany, come here.
-Here, hold her.
-What if I'd been able to tell you about your accident
-before it happened? -Let's go!
-You'd have wanted to know!
What if this woman dies?
-Think you know guilt?
-Bethany, come on, let's go. - Just you wait!
-Let's go, Bethany. -Dr Fox?
-No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
There you go, look, cup of tea.
-Thanks.
-Right.
Are you all right?
You sure you don't want a nurse
-to check you over?
-No, I'm I'm fine, really.
With Bethany, it's possible
the high temperatures are also
affecting the efficacy
of her anti-psychotics.
I suggest an increase in quetiapine,
and if that doesn't prove helpful,
we look at alternatives
and a more regular use
of restraints.
No! We can't keep her tied up
all the time.
What happened is a risk
in my profession. I accept that.
Take the afternoon, Dr Fox.
QUIET SINGING
Computer has been cancelled.
-You know why we're on full online lockdown?
-Yeah,
cos of some climate activist day
that's going to wind up
all the neurotics.
Nah, it's cos your name's
all over the internet.
-What?
-Told you, I have ways and means.
Yeah, fuck your ways and means.
What do you mean, I'm all over it?
The gory details of your crime.
How you killed your mum.
Some journo leaked it.
Not the best photo of you, Bethany.
That's why Wheels went cold on me.
LEONARD: - I never wanted this
information to be out in the world.
I wanted to protect my daughter.
No matter what she's done,
I love her, unconditionally.
Already, many of you
have reached out to me,
and I see you, I appreciate you.
She was a child when this happened.
She'd become severely mentally ill.
This is why my wife and I cared
so passionately about young people.
We could see how
all this doom-mongering destroys
the innocence of childhood.
These activists, with
their constant catastrophising
A national strike?
Pulling kids out of school?
Risking their safety by encouraging
them to riot on the streets?
I say, "Enough!"
In the end, I wasn't able
to keep my child safe
..but I will fight every day
to protect yours.
Already, many of you
have reached out to me,
and I see you, I appreciate you.
Hmm
Yeah, a screwdriver. Jesus.
I mean, even a nationwide strike
is struggling to compete with that.
I genuinely thought
he wanted to help.
Sounds mad saying that out loud now.
My radar's usually good.
Oh, must've seen me coming
a mile off.
Just cut yourself some slack.
Thank you for listening.
You know, apart from our pizza
the other night, I've barely been
to a restaurant since my accident.
Closest I've got is looking
at people's food on Instagram.
- THEY LAUGH
- Oh, my God! We must rectify this.
We must
ELECTRICITY CRACKLES
-Oh!
-OK.
CUSTOMERS MURMUR
CAR HORNS BLARE
What the fuck?
What the fuck? Let me out!
Let me out!
If this is all too soon
..I can totally back off.
No, don't do that.
I like your company.
PHONE CHIMES
PHONE CHIMES
PHONE CHIMES
Ah!
There's been an attack on
a substation. Explains the lights.
-God! Do you have to go in?
-Er, no, it's, erm
No, it's somewhere in the Midlands.
It's way beyond my paygrade,
anyway.
I've had too much to drink.
Home.
Come on, let's go.
SHE BREATHES RAPIDLY
NURSE: Hey. You OK?
All right, all right.
Bethany, Bethany
All right, all right
Stop! Stop, Bethany!
Help, help! Please help!
Get out of it!
Can somebody get the head of the
trust on the phone about the power?
Smash it up, Bethany!
-Go on, Bethany!
-Is this what you want?
Get off me. Get off me.
Get off me!
BETHANY CRIES OU
OK, and one, two, three
That's it, calm now, Bethany.
-Dr Ehmet has some medication that will help.
-No!
-No!
-Bethany, this will make you feel better.
-They're trying to poison me!
-It's simply a sedative.
They will be punished with
everlasting destruction and shut out
from the presence of his Lord
and the glory of his might.
There's no conspiracy.
The drugs will help calm you.
I warned you. I warned you.
I told you the Rapture was coming.
No-one's going to save you.
Humans have fucked it.
Humanity is completely screwed.
Everything is going to burn.
Nobody's home
but the lights are on.
End of
End of days
THEY BREATHE SIGHS OF RELIEF
Well done.
-Shall I do you a tea?
-You fishing for a nightcap?
Not going to happen.
I'm a bit broken, I'm afraid.
No. You look
in perfect working order to me.
That came out wrong.
OK, so
..my spine was broken.
I'm never going to walk again.
I can't feel anything from
the waist down. I use a catheter.
I don't know how I feel about
Look, it's functional
and it's OK for me.
But it's
..it's not sexy.
Well, you mean you don't FEEL sexy?
Because you're sexy to me.
You haven't seen me with my kit off.
Are you sure that's how you want
to talk about yourself?
Fuck you, Mr Legs And
Functioning Cock - as far as I know.
HE LAUGHS
I don't think you get to comment
on how I talk about myself.
I don't. Of course I don't.
That's I'm sorry.
It's uncharted, erm
It's It's It's hard to
Oh, it's hard for you, is it?
As in, it's hard
Navigating it is hard.
I want to feel sexy.
Tea.
And then you're going.
Yes.
BIRDSONG
TV: The power went out
in large parts of England
and Wales last night
after a group of masked activists
attacked a West Midlands substation.
A security guard, Dave Milton,
was injured in the raid.
It is widely believed
that the Climate Front
were behind the attack.
Drake has issued a statement
denying the allegations.
We heard from the Home Secretary
earlier this morning.
Even if Anika Drake did not order
this act of terrorism, her reckless
propaganda must be held responsible
for fuelling this mindless violence.
CAT MEOWS
I put two and two together
and came up with a number
way bigger than four.
And why do you think that is?
I don't know.
Because some journalist egged me on?
Maybe this patient
got under my skin.
Or maybe it was too soon
to go back to work.
It's always going to be too soon
until you process the accident
itself.
That won't change.
Then, let's do the accident today.
SHE SNIFFS
SHE CLEARS HER THROA
OK.
Follow my finger.
Two, three, four
Keep following my finger.
Two, three, four
When you're ready.
I didn't see the other car.
It came came out of nowhere.
I'm off the road
..and I'm stuck.
OK. Look around. What can you see?
It's Alex.
SHE GASPS
I don't know if he knows where he is
or that I'm near, but
..he's not saying my name.
- ALEX:
- Help! Someone help me!
I'm telling him
the ambulance will come,
and keep keep holding on.
SIREN ECHOES
Keep holding on.
And I tell him I love him.
I love him, and I'm
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm trying to move, and I
I can't feel my legs.
My brain is telling my legs to move,
and they won't. It's just
What happens next?
You're safe. You're here with me.
-It's OK.
-He says, "Tell"
"Tell Gabs I love her."
Then
..he goes quiet.
GABS SOBS
-OK.
-SHE EXHALES CALMLY
And when you're ready,
open your eyes.
OK.
You couldn't help him, Gabrielle.
That's the reality of the situation.
You wanted to, but you couldn't.
And it's not your fault.
I was driving, Mel.
I was driving.

How can I help you, Dr Fox?
I'm partly responsible
for that article.
I think I did what you warned
against and got sucked in.
Dick Carwyn took advantage of that.
It would be easy
just to blame you, but
..I know how persuasive
my daughter can be.
As for tabloid journalists -
well, exploitation's their MO.
I think we all know that.
I'm really sorry for the distress
it must have caused.
I can see that you are. I can also
see that you're good at your job.
Bethany seems to be
responding well to you.
Carys and I learnt
that Bethany needs
a tough kind of love sometimes.
Firm boundaries.
You need to be strong.
Don't mistake my disability
for weakness.
No, I, erm
That's not what I meant.
She died here, you know.
Right here in this room.
Perhaps you think it morbid of me,
staying here, but
..I don't know, somehow it feels
like to leave would be worse.
We had 15 happy years
before that day.
Carys is everywhere. They both are.
I had to leave the flat
I shared with Alex, my my husband.
It was too hard to be there
after he died, but
..I lost a part of him
by going away.
Can't stay, can't leave.
I admire your honesty.
It was good of you to come over
and explain about the article.
I've got to get on.
Lots of people in need
after last night.
She was a child when this happened.
She'd become severely mentally ill.
This is why my wife and I cared
so passionately about young people.
You could see how
all this doom-mongering destroys
this innocence of a child.
These activists with
their constant catastrophising
The national strike? Pulling kids
out of school? Risking their safety?
I say, "Enough!"
DOOR BUZZES
Thank you. How was last night?
Absolute pandemonium. And I'm afraid
there was another incident
with Bethany during the blackout.
She got violent again.
She smashed up the ward.
She got wind of that article,
despite our best efforts.
Oh, shit.
-Oh, and Leonard called.
-What did? What did he say?
Oxsmith aren't to blame and
he's keen to draw a line under it.
OK.
DOOR BUZZES
Stay away, Judas.
-Bethany
-All of you betrayed me.
Plotted with my dad,
fiddled with my meds.
It must have been really hard,
having people seeing
details of your case like that.
They're not the facts, though,
are they?!
I didn't do it!
That Daisy woman
That woman, she knows who did.
OK, I'll level with you.
I did see Daisy Stokes.
There's no link.
She has no link to your family
beyond going to church.
No.
She knew nothing
about your mum's murder.
She's lying.
She's lit She knows the truth.
-She - She's not lying, Bethany.
-She is. I promise, she knows the truth.
That's why she
That's why she dies.
-Bethany, you need to breathe
-That's why she dies. -..OK?
Bethany
-Bethany
-It's all right.
It's all right, Bethany.
Bethany, breathe. Breathe.
Bethany?
She's having a panic attack.
Listen, we need to calm
your nervous system.
Hey, hey, look at me.
You need to do what I do, OK?
You're going to breathe in for one,
for five and then release, OK?
So, one
GABRIELLE INHALES DEEPLY
..two, three, four, five and exhale.
Good. Again. No, keep looking at me,
keep looking at me.
One, two, three, four, five.
Slow it right down.
-Good. Good. Good. Good.
-All right, Bethany.
Why can't I think straight?
Everything is saying
that this woman dies tonight.
-I mean, I think I I don't know.
-It's OK, Bethany.
-I think I don't know.
-Let us look after you, OK? You're safe.
-But it feels so real.
-I know. I know.
I couldn't have done that
to my mum Could I?
I don't remember,
and that really scares me.
But they found me there,
next to her, so
What if I did it?
What if I did it?
What if I did it?
