-Hi. -Dom?
What on earth are you doing here?
I've been living in my car for the last few weeks.
I just need to have a poo and a warm loo.
-[grunts] -[Dom snoring]
[Oscar] Well, I can see what you saw in him.
[laughs]
[Geri beeping]
Geri.
This badge is because of you, sir.
You were my mentor, sir.
Of course.
[Miri] Billy, hi, yeah, I'll be there in 20.
I've never been more excited in my life.
Mandy, she smashed
Lara's father... in the head.
And I think that he is...
-Oh, God. -Call an ambulance.
This is your mess, Mandy.
And you have already stolen the first part of my life.
You do not get this bit.
-Oh, Miri! -No!
He's gone.
John?
Hey, he must be okay.
Miri, I'm in.
What's that, what does that mean?
It means I'm in.
In for the long haul.
Dead people or no dead people.
[water splashing]
gentle ambient music
[Mandy] Hi, this is Mandy, can't get to the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
Hmm.
-[Mandy] Hi, this is Mandy-- -[phone beeps]
Oh, fuck off.
[Janice exhales]
[birds calling]
[woman speaks indistinctly]
[exhales]
[phone rings and buzzes]
[quietly] Shit.
Janice?
-Are you okay? -Yeah.
-You sure? -Yeah, why?
-No reason. -Are you sure?
Yeah.
Have you heard something?
No. What, has something happened?
-No. -Good.
-You sure?
-Yeah, why? -Ah, you were just
all up in my head while I was doing something.
But it doesn't matter.
-Good. -Good.
-Great. -Great.
-I'm so great. -Me, too.
[whoops]
Okay, uh...
So I'll, uh, I will see you on Wednesday.
Fabulous.
Incredible.
Be safe, Miri.
-Stay out of trouble. -Of course.
Of course, I mean... why would I...?
Why would I not? Why would I stay in trouble?
I stay out of trouble, bing, bang, boom.
Huh? What's a bing, bang, bong?
An imaginary drum.
Jesus. Anyway...
good luck with your driving test.
What?
It's Monday. I thought you said--
Oh!
Shit!
[birds calling]
tranquil music
[faint whistling]
[louder whistling]
[Dom] Morning, guys.
Uh, coffee, tea?
-Coffee. -Tea.
Oh, uh... sorry about this.
My clothes are in the washing machine.
I got a little, a little splash
of you-know-what on them, but I have made
poached eggs and eggy bread.
Sit down, please.
[chuckles]
Um... ah.
[groans]
[babbles]
[overlapping chatter]
Has-has Mandy got back to you?
Uh, no, but I'm sure it's fine, right?
I mean, it has to be fine because...
I'm fine, so he will be fine.
Yeah.
And you're sure you're up to doing this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
-Yeah. -It's just a driving test.
'Cause you didn't sleep at all.
Yeah, I had a,
I had a very strong coffee.
Although I hadn't had coffee before, really.
-Oh, right. -Yeah, it makes me feel
-very fast in my mind. -Yeah, fine.
Um, he would have limped off, knock on the head.
Little concussion. It's all good.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
Now go pass your driving test, 20 years too late.
Go on... okay.
[Dom] Oh, these guys are ready.
[Dom speaks indistinctly]
Hey! Come in, take a seat.
Poached egg?
Lovely.
Mmm, delicious.
It's the perfect consistency.
I'm a big egg man.
Hang on! Hang on.
What is going on?
Yeah, quite.
-What is this? -I don't know.
Why are you all in your jammies?
And why are we eating poached eggs?
This is fucking weird.
It's not what you think.
I didn't. But now, oh!
Now I do... oh, my God!
-No, no, no, no, no, no! -Christ, Miri! No!
Guys, cool it. Come on.
I needed a poo.
-What? -Your mum and dad
very kindly let me use their facility.
I was... a little out of sorts.
And here we are, a thank you brekkie.
And that is everything.
It was falling out of him, Miri.
We couldn't say no.
Fine. Okay, look, whatever, whatever.
Dad, it's my driving test in half an hour.
-Oh, good God, yes. -[doorbell rings]
I know, I know. I've got to get some clothes
and just get out of here.
Oh, uh...
Lazy morning?
Oh, y-yes. Slow start.
-Can I help? -Just dropping these off.
I thought you could leaflet your neighboring roads.
-Hello, Laura. -Oscar.
-How's the planet? -Oh, still dying,
due to the ignorance of the common man.
And woman.
Of course. Thanks. Fantastic.
Mum, could I borrow some big, clean knickers?
If you've finished the leaflets, um,
there's a committee meeting at 2 p.m. on the dot.
-You're very welcome. -Oh, I'd love to.
-See you then. -[Dom] Can I get a shower?
I just need to wash my bum-bum after last night.
[Caroline groans]
-[Laura gasps] -[Caroline] Oh, goodness.
-She's going to think I'm... -Well, let her.
-But-- -Look.
You'll never have her approval. Let it go.
[Miri] Guys, can we get a move on?! We're a bit late!
Can I use this towel?
Um, well... yes?
Cool.
Miri! I'll take you!
-No, I-I'm going to... -Oh, no, no, please. Let me.
You can see Dom out.
Oh, uh, right. Yes, of course.
[crowd clamoring]
plaintive music
[exhales]
You don't have to come in.
No, no. Moral support.
[Miri sighs]
It's okay to be nervous.
It's not nerves. It's coffee.
You okay?
Everything okay?
Yeah, I'm great.
With the Bobacks being back,
-we haven't really-- -Yeah.
Mandy?
Yeah. Why?
Well, living there?
Ah, I mean, well, you know Mandy.
-Yeah? -Complicated girl.
-Mm. -Always was.
Hmm.
Well, you know where we are.
If you need anything.
What?
[sighs]
[door opens]
Uh, oh, oh, um, Mum?
Can you look after Geri? I don't want her to beep
during the, um, uh...
Oh! Oh, no, no, no. Oh, God, no.
No! No, no. No!
It'll survive an hour.
No, I, um...
I haven't seen her since last night.
Oh, no.
It's okay, Miri, it's only a toy.
[Brian] Miri Matteson?
-Uh, yeah. -Knock 'em dead.
No, please don't.
-Follow me to the vehicle. Come. -Uh-huh.
mysterious music
[Geri beeping]
[beeping grows louder]
-I'm off. -Oh, right.
Okay.
Uh, see you around.
Yeah. I just wanted to say,
thank you so much for your... hospitality.
Seriously.
It takes quite a man to...
let me in.
I'm very grateful.
And clean.
Finally. [laughs]
It's no problem.
Uh, if there's anything you need,
uh, done around the house...
I don't know, anything... please, just say.
It's not like I've got anywhere to go.
Well, what about work?
Uh, I lost my job.
Boss got--
Chlamydia?
Sick of me.
Said I needed some time off.
Uh... shelves put up?
I... I'm handy.
No.
Is there anything at all?
So, you're the Miri Matteson?
Yeah.
I examine driving, not character.
-Good to know. [chuckles] -We'll see.
Yes.
And you've been learning for?
20 years.
With a big gap.
You seem nervous.
-I am nervous. -Yeah, you seem it.
I definitely am.
Seat belt on?
-It is. -Oh.
It's the first thing I did.
You hid it behind your hair.
No, I-I didn't.
You placed your mane over it so I couldn't see it.
I literally just put my seat belt on.
Hmm.
-So we'll start. -Yes.
Follow my instructions and directions.
-Right. -And when I do this...
-[taps dashboard twice] -I want you to perform
-an emergency stop. -Okay.
-That could happen at any time. -Right.
-When you least expect it. -Understood.
[taps dashboard]
-We haven't started yet. -No.
[siren wailing]
You do know how to start a car?
Yes.
[engine starts]
[siren wailing]
Every day approximately eight million pieces
of plastic pollution find their way into our oceans.
Even now a shipping container of rubber ducks
lies on the sea bed of this very coastline.
-[siren wailing] -The streets and beaches
of Hythe are in grave danger.
gentle ambient music
Turn right here.
[turn signal clicking]
[sirens wailing]
Sh-Should we go another way? 'Cause it...
-it's quite distracting. -No. Right here.
-As directed. -Okay.
[Miri shudders]
[siren wailing]
-[siren shuts off] -[indistinct chatter]
Right! Leonard's on paternity leave.
Excuse me.
Chief Inspector.
Sir, are you, um...?
It's m... it's me, Tina.
Tuna?
[paramedic] He's dead, love.
Yes.
He, he does indeed seem to be...
dead.
You're correct.
Well done.
Very good work.
Hundred percent dead.
gentle ambient music
[siren wailing]
Maybe, uh, we should turn...
No, no. Left here.
Okay.
[turn signal clicking]
Bloody hell, that's a lot of emergency vehicles.
I'm tapping. I tapped.
[applies emergency brake]
Oh, it's a body.
Oh, God, it's a dead body.
Awful.
Maybe a granny went for a swim.
Strong tides.
Tragic.
Anyway.
Oh.
You've passed.
Have I?
I'd ask you to drive back to the center,
but I think we've been taped in.
How exciting.
[indistinct chatter]
[Tina] What are you doing here?
Revisiting the scene of the crime?
No. No.
Uh, just a driving test.
Bit old for that, aren't you?
You can't do them in prison.
-Fair point. -Bye, Tina.
Uh, aren't you even interested in what's happened?
It is none of my business.
-[chuckles] -[sighs]
Okay.
What has happened?
Somebody has died.
That's terrible.
Are they okay?
No. He's dead.
Oh, y-yes.
I mean, would you be okay if you were dead?
I don't know. Actually, maybe I would because then I wouldn't
have to, I wouldn't have to talk to you.
That's a bit unkind.
Sorry. Sorry.
Don't you even want to know who it was?
-I mean, you knew them. -Yeah, but don't you need
to notify the next of kin before telling anyone?
Yes, yes, I do.
Yeah, it's a small town. I'm sure...
-I'm sure that I will find out. -Yeah, I expect you will
when we arrest you for the crime.
Look, whatever it was, I had nothing to do with it.
That's what you think.
Yes, it is.
I mean...
that is what you think
you want me to think.
Can I go now?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Dead bodies are horrible, aren't they?
Yeah.
gentle ambient music
-Right foot yellow. -Right foot...
-That's your left foot! -You can do it!
-That's your left foot. -You can... do it.
-Pull it up. -Oh, nice one.
Over here somewhere.
-[laughter] -You'll fall over in a minute.
[keys jingling]
[indistinct chatter]
[Mandy] Left foot red, please. Chop, chop!
-Left foot red. -[Mark] Left-left foot red.
-Yes. -[Miri] Mandy.
[Mark] Oh, my God. Left foot yellow.
All right.
Okay, Phoebe first.
They've found him.
I don't think you should stay here anymore.
His dead body.
And, look, Cerys is furious about her bike,
and you stole Phoebe's scooter, so,
you know, I think it would be too tense.
You need to go to the police, Mandy.
Your bags are packed.
Mandy!
I feel better than I've ever felt.
I'm finally enjoying some family time.
Yeah, so the police can come to me if they want me.
But they will come to me, they will.
He was a chief inspector, for fuck's sake.
I can't go back to prison, Mandy.
I am begging you.
-[Mark] Mandy? -[Cerys] Mum!
-[Phoebe] Mum! -Mum!
[laughs]
My family need me.
[indistinct chatter]
[Mark] Ah, she's gone.
[Mandy] Let's have a look here. Okay, left hand yellow.
[Mark] Oh, that's easy. Right, right...
[Mandy] Very good, Daddy.
Go left hand green.
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck.
Join us at "Make Hythe Clean" for litter picking tomorrow.
3 to 5 p.m.
Let us take matters literally into our own hands.
Maybe condense it a bit?
They need the information.
You need to get their attention first.
All right? Hey.
Thank you.
Afternoon, ladies.
Oh, brilliant, thank you.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
Thanks. [chuckles]
[woman and Oscar laugh]
[man] Listen to Mummy, listen to Mummy.
Come on, then, you two.
Shall we see if we can see it?
[laughter and indistinct chatter]
[indistinct chatter]
Oh, what now?
Huh, I see.
Get Caroline to do the leaflets, then gossip behind my back.
That nasty old witch has jumped
to sordid conclusions.
He came for a crap, Laura, not a bonk, okay?
Honestly, you're like Mean Girls with hip replacements,
you bunch of nasty, ungodly bitches!
[women gasping]
[Laura sobbing]
You haven't heard yet, have you?
What?
[seagulls calling]
tranquil music
[chirping]
Oh, fuck off!
Or come back with a friend!
[exhales]
[phone ringing]
Hello, this is Miri Matteson's mobile phone.
Please leave a message after the tone.
[Billy] Hi, Miri, it's me.
I've got it. It's amazing.
Home in a minute. Come meet me.
I, uh, I hope the test went well.
[ice cream truck music playing]
Call me. Bye.
Ugh, how do you turn the music off?
What's happened?
The chief inspector, found in the water.
Oh, Christ.
Sorry, I'm a bit discombobulated.
I'll have a Funny Foot if you've got them.
Oh, sorry, I just bought it.
We don't have any stock.
-Do you do hot dogs? -Um, n-no, I don't, no.
-Three Snowballs, please. -Oh! I don't have any...
-I, I can't even turn the... -[banging]
[woman] Here, can we get a screwball and a--
Okay, I-I... go away!
[man] This is ridiculous.
Miri... call me.
Well, I wonder
if any of them will show up tomorrow.
I hope so.
Pint or something?
No, uh, Caroline will be expecting me.
She's made a kedgeree.
Yeah.
Well, thanks again for letting me into your home.
Hey, chin up.
Yeah. It is.
I just miss my family.
I mess everything up and I just don't know how not to.
You're young and you can work on that. There's still time.
I just sometimes think there's not much point in me, you know?
[stammers]
Well, nonsense.
You were a very good bag of rubbish.
And you make wonderful poached eggs,
which is very hard to do.
Mine always look like testicles.
So there's that.
Thanks, Oscar.
Look.
If you really want your wife back,
you, you need to work hard.
Really fight for it.
Don't give up. Don't just say I love you.
Show her every single day.
It's actions, not words.
Actions. And for God's sake,
be patient with her.
It takes time...
a long time, it turns out...
to forgive someone properly.
So give her that.
contemplative music
I can't even run away properly.
[sighs]
atmospheric music
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
I'm not gonna talk about this to anyone.
I didn't see you halfway out of town
with your bags packed, okay?
I wasn't here.
And, anyway, this is my free time,
so technically... I'm acting as a friend.
-Do you understand? -I didn't touch him, Janice...
[shushing] Do not say anything, Miri.
Do not. Because I am legally obliged!
Okay.
But if you know anything...
if you were involved in anything...
then you need to go to the police.
You need to nip that shit in the bud, girl.
He was the chief inspector, Miri.
And you're the town criminal
with a grudge to bear. They're coming for you first,
-and don't you forget it. -I know.
Oh, you're a pain in me poom poom, Miri.
You really are.
Rich little white girl.
You're like a... lint roller
just picking up all the shit.
And making me tarot cards freak out.
I want you to have this.
It might help you tonight.
Biscuit. Marshmallow.
Boom. It's a marriage.
Oh, Janice, I haven't had one of these...
Just take it before I change my mind.
I don't want to see you back inside, Miri.
Don't give up on yourself.
[sighs]
Don't you dare.
[sniffles]
Bitch gonna make me cry.
optimistic music
[sighs]
Hello, thanks...

It's Tina from th-the police.
