The Rapture (2026) s01e05 Episode Script

1
-Leonard has an alibi
-He's lying! They're all lying.
We don't have any evidence.
We want to restructure her team.
You mustn't see this as a defeat.
It makes sense that Trenmoor
would sponsor him,
but where is the evidence?
Did you broker a deal between
Trenmoor and the Faith Way?
Max Leland's a friend, isn't he?
I can't lose that job.
It's complicated.
But he can't be involved in this.
So if this place matters,
it's not because of something
that happened here,
it's cos something will happen.
She's afraid without you, that they
might be coming for her next.
I'll go the same way
as my mum and Daisy.
You're going to have to
get me out of here.
-Do you think someone else could have got to her?
-Or have I been played?
I'm afraid the CCTV shows that the
only person who hurt Bethany Krall
is Bethany herself.
It wasn't Siobhan that attacked her.
Right.
Well, I've got to get on with my
rounds
That's not going to happen.
The internet is awash with rumours
about Bethany's escape
and you are at the centre
of them all.
-We've had dozens of complaints about you.
-What?
One from the regulatory board.
You're suspended
pending investigation.
-You're joking.
-So I'm going to need your security pass
and the keys to your office.
Complaints! Who from?
I'm afraid it's out of my hands.
I'm sorry, Gabrielle,
the board have insisted.
- WHISPERING:
- Sonic!
Was it you
who got Bethany that blade?
You had to believe she was in danger
or she'd never have got out.
Come on, are you kidding me?
No, I bloody wouldn't!
Did she say anything about what
she was planning when she got out?
No, miss, she didn't
really tell me anything.
Sonic, think - are you sure
there's nothing more?
I don't know.
Dr Fox!
SHE GROANS
I explicitly said
that you needed to leave.
-Don't make me get security, Gabrielle.
-Oh, you
You know why this is
out of your hands, Ed?
It's because they are
so far up Leonard Krall's backside!
LAUGHTER
-Go on, miss! -Calm down.
-Back in there, please, Sonic.
SHE GASPS
Has she contacted you?
No. Nothing. You?
My name's all over the bloody press.
I don't know where these stories
are coming from.
Best not be seen with me, Rafiq.
It's safer for you that way.
Did Bethany completely play me
from the start?
I mean, what if she hurts someone?
Or herself!
Jesus, I'm supposed to
take care of her!
Gabs.
You're going to pass out
if you don't take a breath.
Breathe.
Be chill like Mr Tibs.
What? Had to give him a name,
didn't I?
Seriously, though,
what am I going to do?
This is way bigger than Bethany.
You know it is.
But what if we're wrong?
I'm starting to believe
all this shit online,
that I'm a basket case.
Trolls going to troll, babe.
I'd put money on it being the same
people who did Daisy's socials
and posted the article in my name.
Should've read the comments
I got after that.
Listen to me.
Bethany couldn't have killed Daisy,
could she?
-No.
-So there's more to this. We know there is.
Right, Caroline's been
doing business with Trenmoor
but also with a tech firm
named Endrion.
They've bought the land around
the old ruin in Bethany's drawing.
Are they Leonard's digital team?
-I don't know.
-Data analytics.
Just the sort of outfit that could
dish out all this online dirt.
This is more than I signed up for.
Well, who's going to do it?
You got Bethany out.
Don't let her down now, yeah?
REPORTER: - Bethan Krall, daughter
of The Faith Ways' Leonard Krall,
escaped last night
from Oxsmith Hospital.
It is currently unclear
how she managed to elude staff
and CCTV cameras.
However, the facilities manager
has reassured the public
that full investigation
is already under way.
-Leonard Krall made a public plea
-VOICE FADES
WOMAN ON LAPTOP: - Following
the tragic death of security guard
Dave Milton last night,
the Home Secretary has tabled
an emergency vote
in the House of Commons
to proscribe the Climate Front
as a terrorist organisation.
-Unbelievable. Are you getting all this?
-Milton, a father of three
-Yeah. Fuck.
-..was attacked during a violent raid on a power substation
by activists widely assumed to
be members of the Climate Front.
That poor man was collateral damage
in someone's efforts to destroy us,
probably Trenmoor, so they can
start drilling again. Bastards!
The Home Secretary
has my full support.
The Climate Front have shown
themselves to be a serious threat
to national security.
No prizes for guessing
who's pulling her strings.
SHE SIGHS
If Bethany turns up, call me.
I'll help.
I don't have a lot left
to play with.
Yeah, but I need to find her first.
I've got to go.
PHONE RINGS
What the hell are you doing?
I want to know what you've done
with my daughter.
What I've done with her?
I have no idea where she is.
-I'm out here
-I warned you not to believe her lies.
But she's had you right in the palm
of her hand from the beginning.
I trust Bethany
more than I trust you.
Those stories about you are right.
You're a seriously disturbed woman
who shouldn't be allowed
to work with vulnerable children.
Stories spread by who?
Endrion Technology?
The firm you employ?
If I find out you had anything
to do with Bethany's escape
You think I'm someone
who can be scared off?
I will get to the bottom of this.
And if I find out that you had
anything to do with Carys's murder,
I will drag you from your pulpit
and bury you.
PHONE RINGS
Ah, ha-ha.
Let me guess -
father and grandfather.
"My father was an army corporal.
He was a mean bastard."
-Aren't you due back in London?
-Aren't you?
I mean, shouldn't you
be at Westminster,
rallying people
for the vote to proscribe?
I'm not entirely comfortable
with this move.
Well, your statement
seemed very convincing.
A new oil site is one thing,
restricting civil rights
to protest is quite another.
But when protest becomes unrest,
civil blood
makes civil hands unclean.
Come on, Caroline,
you've seen the data.
Nobody supports the Climate Front
any more,
not after that poor security guard
was kicked to death.
Was that actually them?
Does it actually matter?
It's very dangerous, isn't it,
if the truth becomes irrelevant?
DOOR OPENS
That ship's already sailed.
Besides,
it's nearly National Hope Day.
Soon, everybody will be so busy
singing their little hearts out,
they won't even notice.
Oh, come on. A Valleys girl
like you must love a sing-song.
Hiya, this is Gabrielle,
please leave a message.
Get the fuck out of my house!
Oh!
Jesus Christ, Bethany!
-Sorry, I was hungry.
-Oh!
-Urgh, what is that?
-What the hell do you think you're doing?
You scared me!
Where have you been?!
What, so you were going to
knock me out with a
A book about meds? Ironic.
What the hell is kefir, anyway?
Tastes like puke.
-How did you even get in here?
-You left your back door open.
You are losing it, Wheels.
And Rafiq got me your address.
Don't be annoyed with him.
I'm annoyed with you!
Why did you run away like that?
We had a plan and now
I've been bloody suspended.
Cos of me?
You lied about that nurse
attacking you.
It's not a big deal.
You needed a little persuasion.
It is a big deal. Why would you do
something like that to yourself?
Right, you can't be here. The
police could come looking for you.
-That is why I arranged for Anika to get you somewhere safe.
-No! No!
Please, don't!
I don't trust that lot.
Something's not right there.
Is there anyone you do trust?
You.
You're the one who helps me
find the answers.
Do you trust me?
You don't exactly
make it easy but
-..yeah.
-Good.
I did another drawing.
You're not going to like it.
I'm trying not to see it
but it just keeps coming
and it felt close.
Like, so close.
I'm scared of what this means.
Things don't have to play out
the way you see them.
What if it's predestined?
I don't buy that fate shit.
We can make choices.
We can change the outcome.
Yeah?
-Yeah.
-Right, it's late.
Better get some sleep.
Am I staying here, then?
Just for tonight.
But tomorrow we have to get you
somewhere safe.
You can have the sofa.
Got to be better than wherever
you slept last night.
Night, Wheels.
Sofa's rubbish.
Hmm.
Least I can keep an eye on you
in here.
No midnight flits.
I saw something.
Something else.
Want to tell me what?
I saw my dad dead.
Same way as my mum.
Am I going to do that?
Is that what you want to do?
I don't know.
I wanted him dead.
But I
I think what you want is the truth.
He looks nice.
He was.
I miss my mum most at night.
When I couldn't sleep,
she would climb into my bed.
Read from the Bible.
Sometimes if I close my eyes
I can still hear her next to me.
Why didn't you have kids?
We talked about it.
But I loved my job,
and I wanted to wait.
And he didn't?
No.
We argued about that.
In fact, we argued that day.
Doesn't change what you had.
I know.
I feel guilty for arguing.
For not having the baby he wanted.
For living when he didn't?
Yeah.
Mostly that.
You'd be a good mum, Wheels.
I mean, erm, probably
..quite annoying, actually.
So
KNOCK ON DOOR
You got a minute, Mr Carwyn?
I grew up just over there.
My dad was a fixer
at the same steel plant as yours.
23 years.
And the only time I ever saw him cry
was the day it shut.
Times change. And other cliches.
Yeah, they do.
And it's my job to make sure
they change for the better.
I get you're trying.
I don't like kissing the arses
of men like Max Leland.
But the area needs the industry,
needs their money.
So I have to walk a line.
What do you know
about Carys Krall's death?
HE EXHALES
That Bethany Krall didn't kill her
and that Carys had something
she wanted to tell me.
Why what do you know?
Leonard Krall has
vowed his Day of Hope
-will continue despite his daughter's disappearance.
-Turn it up.
-Let's hear what he has to say for himself.
-Earlier today I thought
that perhaps we shouldn't go ahead
with our Day of Hope.
But then I remembered to trust
in something greater than myself.
Of course we must go ahead.
I owe it to my wife Carys.
PHONE BEEPS
To Dave Milton's family.
And to anyone else who finds
themselves struggling to keep faith.
How can he stand there
and say that shit?
Well, that's what we've got to
work out. But not alone.
And not from here.
We need to get you out of here
before the police show up,
and Anika is our only option.
KNOCK ON DOOR
My room.
Do not come out until I say.
Hey.
Sorry to just turn up,
I tried to call.
Hi. I'm Nina.
I know.
Yeah, you were right, I haven't
been totally honest with you.
Just say it.
Oh Oh, God, it's not like that.
No. Erm, Nina and I met up
because I have been
..blackmailed.
I was arrested last year.
The Rostyre oil protest.
-My case is due up in court soon and
-Max wanted me to
To tell him about your relationship
with Bethany.
-So that's why you're interested in me?
-No
-To fucking spy on me?!
-No!
It was after he saw you
speaking to Caroline Wren,
at the new industry event.
He said he could either
keep Nina out of prison
or he could make things much worse.
My feelings for you have always
..always been real.
So what did you say?
Told him that you were
looking into Carys's murder.
He asked what you'd discovered.
I said I had no idea.
I did not tell him anything.
Why does your boss want to know
about my mum?
-Bethany. Er, hi, I'm Frasier.
-CAR STOPS OUTSIDE
You look better in my drawings.
Oh.
Thank you. I have no idea, er,
why Max
KNOCK ON DOOR
Fuck, it's the police.
-What about Bethany?
-Can we get out the back?
Perks of access,
you can get out everywhere.
OK, we need to go now.
-My bedroom.
-We'll take her to my place. -OK.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Go, go, go.
Oh, hiya.
Hi. Took your time.
Oh, yeah, well, er
running's not my strong point.
Do you always keep your blinds down?
Oh, God, yeah. In this heat.
-Can we come in?
-Oh, actually, I was just, er, on my way out.
Leonard Krall believes you know
where his daughter is.
Well, Leonard Krall's wrong.
Bethany's killed once,
she could again.
You wouldn't want to be complicit
in a potential homicide,
so if you do get information
on her whereabouts
PHONE BUZZES
..we'd like to hear it. OK?
Yeah, and you know what,
you will be the first person I call.
-Sorry, I really got to get on.
-Sure.
Thanks for your time.
Yeah.
Just go through, door on the right.
PHONE CHIMES
-I don't think anyone saw.
-Yeah.
Oh, this, er, Gabs.
Bethany, someone from the
Climate Front's coming to get you.
Just go through, Bethany,
just keep the blinds shut.
She said they are on their way.
OK. Mega scoop.
Caroline Wren met with Leonard
on the day of the murder,
and guess who was there with him?
Daisy bloody Stokes.
-Daisy worked for Leonard?
-Not directly, no.
She was a senior data analyst
at Endrion Technology.
My North Star.
He wasn't sleeping with her, he was
paying her to build his empire.
Yes, so Leonard pays a tech giant
using oil money, Carys finds out
about it, which pushes her
towards the Climate Front,
and towards calling me.
Which threatened
Leonard's whole operation.
But we know
his alibi stands up, right,
so if he's behind Carys' death
then he must've hired someone
to do the job.
Then framed his daughter
using her own drawings.
Then gets Endrion to polish
the story until it's gospel.
Pow!
-That's enough to go to the police, right?
-Oh, not with our reputations.
No, we need something more concrete.
If Leonard had a big tech firm
working for him,
they could have doctored
his security cam footage.
PHONE CHIMES
My mate in the police
says they've got a suspect
for the substation attack.
CCTV nearby.
They've not got an ID,
but he's sent me the video.
OK, let's see.
Who's claiming to be us?
After you called, I went through
all the footage again.
The doors and windows remain closed.
But there's a shadow
from the window from the roof.
It moves throughout the day.
That's what shadows do
Not like this.
Look.
It's on the left, moving slowly.
And then, 14:29:41, it jumps
to the right In one frame.
Something's been edited out.
Like someone climbing in
and out of a window?
But who?
There we run aground.
DOORBELL
Fuck. It's Rob!
No
Yeah. Yeah. Er, come in.
Bethany!
PHONE RINGS
Time to go.
Hiya?
- ANIKA:
- Gabs, we've got a problem.
That substation attack - we KNEW
it was set up to discredit us!
It was Rob.
We don't know the details yet,
but we know we can't trust him.
Gabs, I've sent him
to collect Bethany.
You need to get to her
before he does.

What?
TENSE MUSIC
Where you taking me?
Somewhere safe.
Keep it moving, everyone!
This safe house is no longer safe!
I've seen this van.
TYRES SCREECH, CRASHING
Who are you?
Aren't you supposed to be a prophet?
Surely you don't need
a mere mortal to fill you in.
We were too early last time.
There's no way you're risking this
Bethany knew about me.
She said she'd been waiting for me,
that it
that it was me who could save her.
You've got her out of Oxsmith.
You don't need to put yourself
in any more danger.
Not after everything
you've been through -
-Maybe it's BECAUSE of what I've been through?
-Gabs
Look, I need to take control
of the story.
It's the only way to stop the one
I've got replaying
in my head every day.
FLAMES CRACKLE
CHATTER, CAR DOORS SLAM
Was it you?
Was what me?
Did you kill my mum?
ROB SCOFFS
I thought it was you.
Screwdriver in the eye.
This is bonkers, Gabs.
Look, this Rob - or whatever
he's really called - is a killer.
I'd put money on it.
He probably killed Daisy, too,
and now he's got Bethany.
I'll ask you again.
Did you kill my mum?
You really want to know?
I just want the truth.
How much did he pay you?
What it costs.
Hey!
TYRES SKID AND SCREECH
I can't see the road, you psycho!
Ugh! Stop it!
ROB STRAINS
I still think
we should call the police.
And tell them what?
That Bethany's had a prophecy?
Gabs! Watch out!
-Shit!
-Argh!

We've got a problem.
Leonard Krall's disappeared.
Bethany?
Bethany?
You start with five stars.
Each time you lie, you lose one.
And if you lose them all, well
..an eye for an eye, right?
Look, I know what you think of me
-..but I didn't kill your mother.
-Yeah, but you hired someone who did.
So that's a lie.
Four stars.
I came home,
I found you there covered in blood.
What else was I supposed to think?
You were supposed to believe me!
Mum would have.
Just be honest!
Bethany! Bethany!
Don't interrupt, Wheels.
Dad was just telling a story.
He said he didn't hire that man
to kill my mum.
Then who did?
That tech firm who work for you?
They don't work for me.
I work for them.
What?
Endrion created me.
They own me.
Yeah, OK, so if you
Christina, what's going on?
He's not answering my calls.
His phone's off.
-He's gone totally dark on me.

LINE RINGS
FLAMES CRACKLE
I was a minister in a Cardiff church
when Daisy Stokes
first approached me.
I was flattered.
Daisy said I was exactly
what Endrion had been looking for -
popular, modern, trustworthy.
"Trustworthy"?!
Well, that's a lie.
Down to three stars.
Shit! Did he say if he'd made
contact with his daughter or not?!
Er, no.
What exactly is going on here, Max?
Things beyond your paygrade.
They said they wanted to build
a new religious movement,
aimed at the young.
They'd done all the data analysis,
they knew
there'd be a market for it.
Daisy and I worked side by side.
She advised me
on content, image - everything.
They told you what to say?
Didn't feel like that at the start.
They said they were helping me -
helping us - get the message across.
-I was naive.
-Bullshit.
You weren't naive.
You were greedy for power and fame.
Down to two stars.
FLAMES CRACKLE
Then what?
They started pushing me to openly
criticise the Climate Front.
Why would a tech company
care about the Climate Front?
Cos that's what
Trenmoor pay them for -
to shift public opinion.
Undermine climate activism
and distract everyone
so they keep making money
out of fossil fuels.
Is that true?
You lose a star for being a coward.
-And speak up!
-Yes! They're right.
The Faith Way's
basically just an algorithm
..paid for by oil money.
Max Leland's idea.
-Did Mum know about this?
-No.
You are on your last star!
Not to begin with, no.
But then you started
having these visions,
and she thought what you were seeing
were disasters
caused by climate change.
And then you said the Rapture
was coming, she wanted to act
Shit.
-We need to get out of here - now!
-..to reach out to Anika Drake
-before it was too late.
-Bethany's drawing.
I had to tell her
why that was impossible.
-PHONE LINE RINGS - She was heartbroken.
-Operator.
-Horrified. - What service do you require?
-Er, Fire Service, please.
She she wanted to tell people.
If she had,
The Faith Way would've collapsed.
Bethany. We have to go.
How did they know
Mum was going to speak out?
How did they know, Dad?!
FLAMES CRACKLE
HE BREATHES RAGGEDLY
- TEARFULLY:
- Because I told Daisy.
I thought I could trust her.
You know what happens next.
No more stars.
-Bethany!
-No, no, no!
THEY GRUNT, THUD
THEY PAN
Bethany!
Bethany, put that down!
OK? You don't want to do that.
Not really.
I do! He took their money
and let her die!
-We need to get out of here - now!
-He deserves what's coming.
-Maybe I do.
-But Gabs doesn't!
Bethany. Bethany, We need to go.
I can't go! I have to do this.
You have a choice to make here,
and I think you know
that this isn't the right one.
I've seen this. OK?
I know what happens.
I kill him. We burn.
The Rapture comes.
No-one is safe.
Not even the good ones, Wheels -
not even you.
No. Your mum didn't think that,
though, did she?
You don't know what my mum thought!
I know what you told me.
Why would she
have risked everything?
Why would she have contacted Dick,
contacted the Climate Front,
if she believed
this was all inevitable?
-I'm getting you out of here.
-No! No! I am not leaving her!
I preach about hope and faith
..about turning away from fear,
but I've been so scared myself.
I've been such a coward.
FLAMES CRACKLE
I refused to face the truth
and I let you down.
So I accept whatever's coming.

-Gabs?
-We've got her! We've got her! we've got Bethany!
How?
Where are you?
Had to get out the safe house.
In transit.
With gear?
Always.
You got a plan?
Always.
-Leonard!
-Where you've been?
I just had to be sure
that Bethany was safe.
Let's do this, shall we?
I'll get cleaned up.
What do we do?
Max!
Everyone's about to arrive.
-We're up to 15 million online.
-Yeah, get him on.
NEWS: - We'll shortly be handing
over to our reporter live at Westminster
to get the results of the ballot.
By all accounts,
it's going to be a close call.
We can bypass Endrion's firewall
and lock them out
of controlling the live feed.
- REPORTER:
- The vote is in..
The noes have it!
That's a significant defeat
for the Prime Minister.
And we have it confirmed
that amongst the rebels
was the Welsh MP Caroline Wren,
who just last week
expressed support for the move.
CAROLINE: - I no longer believe
this motion was in the public interest.
We can't afford to ignore the signs
of climate damage any longer.
There are forest fires
raging in my constituency today.
A democracy needs organisations
like the Climate Front
to tell people the truth.
I didn't come into politics
to shut up and do as I'm told.
Wrong woman.
Wrong decade.
QUIETLY: Oh fuck.
Bethany! We won the vote!
It's your turn now.
You're better at this.
It should be you.
Nah, this is your moment.
ANIKA SIGHS
I wish I'd met your mum.
She would've liked you.
She liked people
who stood up for things.
She was all about
bringing people together, right?
-That's what the Faith Way was originally about?
-Yeah.
It's the only way to change shit.
People in power,
they want us separated.
Fighting. Factions.
They want us blaming each other.
Cos then we're not looking at them,
doing whatever the hell they like.
No, fuck that.
Exactly.
Come on, then.
ANIKA LAUGHS
Got it!
PROGRAM CHIMES
OK. Signal's piggy-backed.
-And can they trace it?
-Not for a while.
THEY LAUGH
CHATTER AND LAUGHTER
OK, we're up to over 15 million.
CHEERING
Good evening and welcome,
wherever you're joining us from.
I've just seen the numbers
..and we're at 15 million.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The highest yet.
Welcome to our National Day of Hope.
CHEERING
THEY CLICK FINGERS IN TIME
We stand united.
- CONGREGATION JOIN IN:
- We are not alone.
We trust in a higher power.
We are together in our hope.
Welcome, friends,
to this place of peaceful worship.
PEACEFUL CHORAL MUSIC
I, um
Unusually for me, I
I find I'm at a loss for words.
But I'd like to give the stage
to my daughter, Bethany.
QUIET CHATTER
Who is innocent of the crime
she was accused of,
and who I think
does have some words.
Cut the feed.
They are trying. They can't. They
They're locked out.
CHATTER CONTINUES
Um
FEEDBACK SQUEALS
Yeah, so I do have some things
I'd like to say.
A day of hope.
I lost hope the day my mum died.
The church meant
everything to my mum.
She believed she was helping people,
bringing them together,
but today I found out
the Faith Way was built
as a marketing machine by some
big data company, funded by oil.
Its main purpose was
to turn us against people
like the Climate Front
so that companies like Trenmoor
keep making big profits
and ignore the fact
that the planet's burning,
systems are overrun,
and everything's broken.
And when she threatened
to expose it all
..they hired someone to kill her.
CONGREGATION GASPS AND CHATTERS
They silenced her.
Listen to that
So I will speak for her.
CHATTER
We are buried in our screens,
selling us things,
selling us stories.
Making us hate
and distrust each other.
Making you think you can't do
anything about the state of things,
that it's it's all inevitable.
But it's not.
We can change things.
I realised that today -
the future is what we make it.
Don't you want to see this?
No, thanks, Anika.
I've seen it all before.
-The idealism of youth, eh?
-Don't imagine you'll get very far.
There's a pretty compelling trail
from two murders
and an abduction
leading straight back to you.
-Oh, wow!
-Not denying it?
No comment.
Nice job hacking
the livestream feed, by the way.
No comment.
DOOR CLOSES
You all came today.
That is a beautiful thing.
And if we stop
turning against each other,
then we can turn our attention
to the real problem.
Let's all use that togetherness,
that strength, to stir shit up.
We don't have to sit
and watch everything burn up
while the 1% profit.
Things can be different
..if we stand united,
and demand that they are.
HE APPLAUDS, CONGREGATION JOIN IN
CHEERING
WATER BUBBLES
Maybe I'm not
as strong as I thought.
MEL: - Jesus. I don't think anyone
could doubt your strength, Gabs.
It's amazing
how you can be a grown-up,
become a bloody psychologist,
and still not know yourself.
Some people who sustain
life-changing injuries like yours
think of themselves
as having two birthdays.
Like, the one when they were born
..and the one
when everything changed.
You're still finding your way.
A wee toddler.
MEL CHUCKLES
So not surprising that I smash
things up, and try to run away?
What do you think
you were running away from?
Myself.
Easier to concentrate
on someone else.
Think she even said that to me
in one of our first sessions.
What was it about Bethany
that was so compelling?
Hm. At first,
I thought it was about
..some kind of justice
-..and getting to the truth.
-Both pretty decent things.
And it really was that.
But there was something else
about me and her
You said she got under your skin.
-Yeah.
-What do you mean?
Instead of running away
..I had to let her in.
So, she almost became a part of you?
Yeah, maybe.
You know, she was so broken
..yet so completely herself.
I don't know. If you
If you met her, you'd understand.
I think I do.
Thank you for your help
with Bethany.
You and Nina risked a lot.
Do you think
..when this is all settled, that
..you and me might?
I don't think it's the right time.
No. Fair enough.
We can talk about it later.
No, I
I don't think it's the right time
or the right thing.
For me, anyway.
OK.
Thanks for bringing us down here.
-Still bloody car-less.
-Well, if you will insist on
Top Gearing it
around the Welsh countryside
Changed the ending, though, right?
You did.
Let's hope the bad guys
get what they deserve, eh?
Evidence of their complicity
into Carys's murder is strong,
even with Rob dead.
Trenmoor's share prices are down,
and they're reviewing
the oil licences, so
Yeah. You know, I saw that
in a piece I read this morning,
by some big journo
called Dick Carwyn.
HE CHUCKLES
It's good to have you back.
The prize-winning marrows
will miss you.
THEY CHUCKLE
How about you? Work?
Taking a break.
You're an amazing woman, Gabrielle.
And you're an improving bloke.
THEY LAUGH
Yeah.
Right, you go on.
I'll wait for you here.
QUIET BIRDSONG
Thanks for believing me.
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
She would have been so proud of you,
making that speech.
Were you?
GABS CHUCKLES
See that statue
of the bloke outside?
-What, God?
-Saint Augustine.
-Fair enough.
-I was reading about him.
He said that Hope
had two daughters -
Anger at the way things were,
and the other was Courage
to do something about it.
