I'll come back every night until you tell me.
Daddy? Shh...
SIMON PANTS He's not breathing!
From what I've heard, you may well have saved his life.
'Are you the man that found my boy?'
You said you saw someone running off. Was it him?
Look at him! Was it him? Was it him?! No!
MONITORS BLEEP It's about the attack on that lad.
I saw who did it.
MONITORS BLEEP 33, 34, 35, 36...
No pulse. Adrenaline.
I really do need you to wait outside. We're staying here.
Fibrillation. You can do this. No...
DEFIBRILLATOR WHIRS
Stand clear.
One, two, three...
Come on, Jordan!
OK...
Right. There? Is that OK? Yeah, that's fine.
Thanks.
I just don't feel comfortable,
lots of people talking about me, that's all.
You just need to get ready. You're gonna be late.
DOOR CLOSES Now, Sophie.
What's all that?
Well, there's just this...
show-and-tell thing on at school.
She wants to bring that article in about me.
Yeah. I spoke to her teacher at pick-up.
They actually want you to go in.
"Show and tell".
Why does everything have to be so American these days?
Simon? Just sit down for a minute.
HE SIGHS
The police came round last night, when you were out.
Some detective.
She doesn't want you doing any more interviews
without speaking to her.
She also said...
that she saw you at the hospital
the night that that lad was attacked.
And you told her that you were picking me up
from a late shift.
But I wasn't working that night. So why did you tell her I was?
I, erm...
I think I was still in shock. I, er...
I had a panic attack before I saw her. What?
Well, it...
I can't remember what I said, what I was thinking...
W-What did you say to her?
Well, nothing, cos I wanted to speak to you first.
So, this panic attack, was it... was it like the ones before?
No, no. I don't know. Listen, I'm not...
I'm not going to have another breakdown, all right?
And that's your medical opinion, is it?
Look, have you thought about going back on the Prozac?
No, that just makes me nauseous,
and that's the last thing I need at the moment.
SOPHIE: Mum, where are my shoes?
Look, can we just talk about this later?
Maybe when I come... FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS
Mum! I'm coming.
HE SIGHS
I saw you in the paper!
Can I have your autograph?
HE CHUCKLES
CAR HORN BLARES, HE GASPS
Get in.
HE GROANS
PAUL BREATHES SHAKILY
Is everything all right, Paul? No.
No, it's not.
Jordan's heart stopped.
We, er... We thought we'd lost him, but, er...
he's hanging in there.
HE EXHALES SHARPLY
W-What did the doctor say?
Just the...
Same thing. More tests, more scans.
I mean, I don't know. It's just...
HE EXHALES SHARPLY
I'm just wiped out, you know? I'm just... I ain't slept.
HE SIGHS
Look, I've come round to ask you a favour, all right?
Me and Jordan's mum, we wanna do something for him.
You know? All this waiting around, it's a nightmare.
Do you know what I mean? Oh, yes. I imagine...
So what we're gonna do is, we're gonna hold a vigil for him.
Yeah? We're gonna invite family,
we're gonna invite friends, the local press.
We need to keep his name out there, do you know what I mean?
You'll be there, right, you know?
Cos you're part of his story.
Er...
Well, of course, yes, erm...
Yes, yes, I'll be there if I can.
What do you mean "if you can"?
It's right there. It's hardly far, is it?
Well, y-yes. Yes, of course. Of course, I will...
When is it?
I don't know. It'll be in a couple of days.
I'll let you know. SIMON BREATHES HEAVILY
So, you don't have to see out your full notice period.
We can call it gardening leave, and you can finish up today.
Oh, right. Er, well, I'm just...
I'm still working on a handover document.
I thought that might be useful.
Well, you could do that, or...
you could just not bother and, er, enjoy the time off.
I know what I'd do.
Honestly, mate, just call it quits and head off.
Spend some time with the kids - you've got a couple of boys, right?
Yeah, yeah, one girl.
Great, OK. Well, sure.
Erm... Are we done? Anything else? No.
Cool, OK. Well, erm...
I guess that's that.
Er, all the best, yeah?
Thanks for everything, Simon. Seriously.
If you need me, you know where to find me.
COMPUTER CHIMES
Oh, unbelievable.
Sorry, do you mind?
MOBILE RINGS, VIBRATES
Erm, hello? 'Simon? Kelly Evans.'
Sorry, who? 'DS Evans. West Cheshire Police?
'Is there are any chance you can come down to the station?'
Thank you.
And again, apologies if I've asked you this before,
but the night Jordan was attacked,
you said you saw someone running away.
In your statement, it says...
he was wearing a hoodie and trainers,
but you didn't see his face.
Erm, yes, that's right.
It was dark, and, er, he was running away from me.
And from the way he was running away,
would you guess he was young?
Teens, twenties?
Er...
Yes, that would be my guess, yes.
HE INHALES SHARPLY
Can I ask that you take a look at these?
Ever seen any of them outside your house, on your road?
No, I don't recognise any of them, actually, I'm sorry.
And just to confirm...
you'd never seen Jordan before the night of the attack?
No. No, never.
Erm, er, was there anything else?
HE CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY Yes, actually, there was.
We have a family liaison officer working with the Franklins...
Well, trying to, anyway.
She's mentioned that they want to do a vigil for Jordan
outside your house.
Yes, that's right. His father told me about it.
You've spoken to Paul Franklin? When?
Er, well, it was just this morning.
Er, he and I, er...
He's very grateful for what I did, so we talk sometimes.
Right, OK.
Well, anyway, with this vigil,
we've asked them not to do it.
If someone says the wrong thing in public, it can affect a trial,
but we can't actually stop them.
So can I ask that you don't take part?
Oh, yes, of course, yes, absolutely.
And just so you know, the Franklins, especially Paul...
I won't get into details, but...
he has a history of violence,
and it's still possible that his son could die,
so I would recommend that you steer well clear.
SHE SIGHS Sorry.
Sorry, I don't mean to worry you.
Oh, no, not at all. No, it's, er...
It's good to know that, isn't it? Thank you.
HE PANTS
HE EXCLAIMS
HE PANTS
Er, do you want a hand?
No.
For Christ's sake, Harry,
just let me help you, give me your bags.
I said I'm fine. Harry. Mind your own.
All right, suit yourself.
I saw you.
Huh?
What? I saw what you did.
You and that lad, right there.
HE BREATHES SHALLOWLY
I've no idea what you're talking about.
Uh-huh.
MONITOR BEEPS SLOWLY
Paul.
Just talk to him.
Please. Try it.
SHE BREATHES SHAKILY
So you don't know Jordan Franklin?
You were at school together, Mason. He was in your year.
I know your lot and his lot have got beef,
and I'm not accusing you of anything.
I just wanna know where you were on the night Jordan got attacked.
Are you scared? Is that why you're staying quiet?
As if. Oh, so you do speak.
Is there anything else you wanna tell me?
All right, we'll leave it there.
You know where to find me if anything else occurs.
KNOCK ON DOOR
WHISPERING: Oh, you bastard.
There's a message for you, from last night.
Last night? Why am I only getting it now?
Oh, what side of the bed did you get out of?
Harry White, who is that?
HARRY ON VIDEO: 'I saw you.'
'What?'
'I saw what you did.
'You and that lad right there.'
'No idea what...' DOOR OPENS
Hi, love. You OK?
Oh, yes, I'm fine, thanks.
Saw that kid's mother today, Jordan's mum.
Poor thing. She's in pieces.
Apparently, he had a cardiac arrest last night.
Oh, yeah, I know. Yeah, his dad told me.
His dad? When was that?
Er, that, er, this morning. Er...
He wants me to take part in some sort of vigil for Jordan,
but that detective, DS Evans, she said not to.
Did she come to see you at work?
No, no, I went into the, erm... police station.
I've actually, erm...
I'm done at the office now. I'm on gardening leave.
Wait, so, you had your last day in the office
and they didn't take you for a drink?
Jimmy said that he's gonna sort something out.
Well, he bloody better.
You've been there for nearly ten years.
Yeah, well, I don't want to leave on bad terms, do I?
I'm thinking of freelancing there at some point.
Is that an option?
I'm thinking of asking, yeah.
But why haven't you?
DOORBELL RINGS
Sorry to bother you, Simon.
Can I borrow you for a minute?
Er... why?
If you just come with me, I'll explain.
KNOCKING ON DOOR
Right. Hello again, Mr White.
Now, this gentleman here,
I take it you know him?
Of course I know him. He lives next door.
Simon, could you please tell Mr White who I am?
Sorry, I, er...
I don't understand.
He doesn't believe I'm a police officer,
and he won't let me in.
Sorry, so, erm, why is it that you want to speak to him?
Uniform spoke to him on the night. Says he didn't remember anything.
Now, apparently, he's remembered something, so...
If you could just assure him I am who I say I am?
Well, I'll try,
but he does get so confused sometimes.
I'm not confused.
This is the police officer, Harry.
Detective Sergeant Evans,
but you can call me Kelly.
So, happy to talk to me now?
Wonderful, thank you.
You all right to come in a minute, just until he's settled?
So, you left a message with one of my officers,
saying that you had something to tell us
about the attack on the young lad.
Yeah, I saw what happened.
And what was that exactly?
I heard shouting...
..out the front. Swearing, all sorts.
I looked out the window and then he, erm...
..then he punched him and he, er...
The lad fell to the ground.
Can you describe the person who threw the punch?
BREATHES SHAKILY
Some... young lad.
HE EXHALES
About 17, 18.
Little shits, they are. Always outside every night.
Not that you lot do anything.
They never come round, do they?
Er, that's not, erm...
I wouldn't like to say, really.
And it was definitely a young lad?
That's... what I said.
Is he all right, do you think?
Well, you know, we don't really talk that much,
but when we do,
for what it's worth, he does seem sort of...
Well, fairly switched on.
I won't take up any more of your time.
DOOR OPENS
DOOR CLOSES
Harry?
This morning, outside...
..you said you saw me.
Well, I don't know what it is you think you saw.
Yes, you do.
You were always good to her.
Good to who? My Brenda.
She liked you.
Well...
She liked your missus, anyway.
She'd have liked me to help you.
Well, yes, well...
Harry, this thing that you said...
..if you're gonna lie like this, then that won't be the end of it.
There'll be more questions, so...
You know, you've got to...
You need to make your story consistent.
Harry... I'm busy.
Go home.
Harry...
You need your story to be simple, as simple as possible.
What are you doing here?
Listen, I know you told me not to,
but I decided that I would finish this handover document.
I'm sure it will be of some use.
Why didn't you just email it?
Well, I thought that, in this way,
then I could answer any questions that might come up.
Look, I don't want to be that guy, but, erm...
no-one's gonna read that.
I'm sorry, but that's the truth.
I've spoken to Pippa, and she's gonna arrange drinks
for tomorrow night for your send-off.
I'll see you then. OK?
Thank you.
I did also want to talk about the freelance thing. Fuck's sake.
We've been through that already, haven't we?
So, I was thinking that I could hang on to some of my...
Sorry, will you just hang on a moment, please?
Have I done something to upset you, Simon?
Sorry, I don't, erm...
Is it what happened the other night in the pub?
You know, when I gave that bloke a slap.
Paul...
Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
Right. PAUL SIGHS
All right. Just I spoke to that...
that detective, DS Kelly, what's her face.
And she told me that you're not coming to Jordan's vigil, so...
You told us you'd come, Simon.
You know, we want you there.
You saved his life. Do you know what I mean?
So if they do another story on this,
then it might help catch who did it.
Mm.
The thing is, I'm just...
I'm just a little uncomfortable about all this attention.
Do you not wanna help?
Of course. Good.
Yeah.
I'll see you there, then. It's tonight.
7:30.
Oh.
We need this room, so if you don't mind...
Yeah, in a minute.
Um, this is my workplace, and I'm pretty sure
you're not a client, so, um, if you wouldn't mind...
Yeah. I would mind.
I'd mind a lot.
Simon, could you ask this, er, gentleman to please leave?
Oi.
It's me and you talking.
All right, look at me.
You don't look at him.
You've got five minutes.
Five minutes?
And then what?
Yeah.
Is that the one who fired you?
Well, I'm not actually being fired.
My position is being made redundant.
Oh, come on, Simon, mate. That's the type of bollocks
they tell you to make you feel better.
Don't stand for it.
Not from that.
You take shit from them now,
you'll be taking it for the rest of your life.
Yeah, yeah, I'm here now.
It's peaceful enough.
Let's hope it stays that way.
Bloody hell. What did I tell you, Simon?
No, no, it's just a witness. I'm gonna have to call you back.
It's been eight days since our beautiful boy, Jordan,
was left for dead on the street.
I do not know who did this to my son.
But somebody out there does.
So, please, if you know anything, anything at all,
come forward so no-one else has to suffer like we.
Finally, we would like to say thank you
to the man who saved our son's life.
Simon, no words can express the gratitude we feel.
You are a guardian angel.
APPLAUSE
Good on ya!
Thank you.
Good on you, Simon.
Get out of it!
All of you!
You can't be here. It's not right. It's not... right.
Harry, do you want to come with me? We'll go back inside.
Ask him. He'll tell you.
Now, now, Harry, that's enough, isn't it?
It's not right.
Is he OK? Can I help? No, it's OK. We'll manage.
Get your hands off me!
Harry, look at me. Harry, look at me.
Look at me.
We're going inside now. OK?
Come on.
He knows. He knows.
Harry, are you sure there's no-one we can call for you?
No-one to come and look after you?
Is it some sort of dementia?
Well, it could be early stages, I don't know.
He has a daughter in Scotland, doesn't he?
Yeah, yeah, I think so.
I'll ask around the neighbours, see if anyone's got a number.
Are you OK to stay with him?
Yeah, yeah.
Does that happen a lot?
I know I've seen you outside sometimes,
but nothing like that.
I'm going to bed.
Oh, right. Do you want me to... No.
JIMMY: I'm telling you, he didn't check it.
Not even for typos. Guy's a fucking joke.
The only reason he's here cos his old man owns the company.
Hey, all right, Simon, what are you having?
I'm fine, thanks.
Oh, come on, it's your leaving do, you boring twat.
He'll have a pint and a whisky chaser.
And I'm not saying Simon's emails are boring,
but they do come with a health warning.
May cause drowsiness.
Do not use heavy machinery after reading.
LAUGHTER
No, I'm only joking, Simon.
Your emails do not send people to sleep.
Nobody reads them. LAUGHTER
That was fun, right?
Yeah, well, yeah, not particularly. People were laughing.
You know, you never said one positive thing that I've done.
Just that we just jokes at my expense.
Well, you know what?
I'm sorry, genuinely. Really?
Don't believe you.
You know what? Have a drink.
We need it.
You could have done more.
What? You could have...
You could have pushed back, you could have fought for me.
You could have got me more money.
Jimmy, I mean, I trained you.
HE SCOFFS
You trained me?
Yeah, all right, Obi Wan.
No, this money's got to last me for the rest of my life.
You could have done more.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You know what?
I wasn't going to say anything, but fuck it.
No-one told me who to get rid of. It was my choice.
You're shit at your job, your clients don't rate you,
and you lose us money.
You were the only name on the list.
Do you know what you are?
You're a nasty piece of work that everyone in that office hates.
And I hear them talking about you, Jimmy.
I do, and you know what? It's very personal.
And I'm sure that you're gonna say that you don't care.
But you do. Because I know that you do.
HEART POUNDING
They said you were here. Is everything all right?
Yeah, yeah, I don't know what to do. I can't think straight.
I think I had a panic attack.
What, at the work do? Yeah.
Yes, and Beth, I, er...
I...
What is it?
OK, look, I'm gonna see if I can get off early.
You stay here, I'll be five minutes.

I don't care how much it costs.

How did you get my number?
You gave it to me.
Did I? I-I don't remember that.
Taste how smooth that is.
It's gorgeous, isn't it? Mm, mm.
I needed that.
You know on the night that Jordan was attacked?
Thank you.
You said the camera, the one outside...
..you said it wasn't working.
Oh, yes, that's right.
I'd only got it that afternoon and...
..it took me a couple of days to figure it out.
So it didn't start working till the next day?
You sure about that, yeah?
Yes, positive. OK.
It's just, um, I own a security firm, right?
And I've got this kid who works for me, yeah?
And he's a whiz with all this tech stuff.
Anyway, he's been checking
on the serial number for your camera.
How did he get my serial number?
He said it was registered as active at 4:37 on the night
that Jordan was attacked.
And that's, what... five hours before he got hit.
Well, um...
..I have checked on my phone
and there are no recordings on that date.
And you are welcome to have a look.
No. No, I believe you.
But he said there might be something wrong with your phone.
But it doesn't matter because all the camera,
it's all stored online.
It's all stored up in the cloud.
So, if you got your password...
..you can check now.
I think...
I think we should just tell the police.
Simon, if, God forbid,
someone was to hurt your little girl,
you'd wanna know who it was, wouldn't you?
Hmm?
Yes, and again, the police...
They're not interested.
I've got to find them. Me.
Look...
..I just need your password and username.
I want to help. I really...
For fuck's sake, Simon, do you know what I'm going through?
Why are you making this so difficult?
I'll get the password.
Ah, fuck this...
What are you doing?
Well, my...
I keep all my passwords in a notebook
and I can't seem to find them. My wife might have moved them.
Well, go and wake her up.
No, I can't do that.
She's asleep and it is very late, isn't it?
Why don't I just give you a call in the morning?
Are you all right? You're being all fucking antsy.
What's the matter with you? What the hell is going on?
Hiya. I just came round with a bottle of wine,
we're just having a bit of a taster.
We didn't... We didn't wake you up, did we?
I heard shouting.
No, we were just having a laugh. Just having a laugh.
NERVOUS LAUGHTER
Yeah, well, it's... It's one o'clock in the morning.
I think you should leave.
Oh, come on, love.
You don't need to be like that, eh?
Don't tell me how to behave in my own house.
All right.
I'll speak to you tomorrow.
He just turned up.
He turned up, invited himself in, he sat down.
How was that?
Dunno. Bit weird.
Come on. What you waiting for?
I heard talking. What was that about passwords?
I don't know. What do you mean you don't know?
Simon, what the hell is going on?
I don't know. I don't know. No, I don't.
Beth, I've, um...
I've made a mistake.
I've made a mistake and I can't...
Enough.
Just tell me.
Jordan, he was...
He was threatening me.
He was threatening Sophie.
He just kept... He kept pushing, he was pushing me.
I snapped.
You hit him?
I hit him.
I shouldn't have let things get this far.
But, um...
I'll find a solicitor
We'll go to the police
and then I'll just claim that it was self-defence.
Was it?
No.
I shouldn't have lied to you.
I wanted to tell you, but...
..I knew you would think that I'm weak and a disappointment
and I was letting you down.
There's something else.
His dad, that Paul...
..I-I think he's some sort of criminal.
He might be a drug dealer.
Oh, for fuck's sake, Simon.
But you don't need to be any part of this.
It is my mistake, and it's not yours.
Please, cut the self-pity crap.
I don't think you're weak.
There are times where I could gladly throttle you.
But I'm not just gonna run away.
So what then?
You're gonna tell me exactly what happened, from the start,
and then we're gonna sit down and we're gonna discuss our options.
And get the instruction manual for that camera you put up.
Why? Why do you think?
You're sure you're feeling well enough?
Oh, I said so, didn't I?
OK, great.
So, I'm going to show you some photos
and I want you to tell me if any of them look like the lad
that you saw throwing the punch.
Take your time. There's no rush.
That's him.
Like I said, take your time.
It was him, I'm sure.
It was dark outside, so...
Well, maybe I've seen him before, then.
So you're not sure it's him? He was outside, loitering.
You mentioned before that you had to call the police a few times.
If you tell me when, I can check the CCTV in the area.
Well...
..a few weeks back, I don't know.
Weeks?
All right.
It's fine, I can check.
Why don't you have another look at these photos?
You see if any of them ring a bell.
BEEPING
So sorry to bother you, Paul.
I just feel so bad about last night.
I just want to clear the air.
Well...
And?
Well, I looked at the manual for that camera,
and you're right, of course.
All the footage, it's backed up onto a website.
These are my login details,
and it has everything that's been recorded.
I've had a quick look myself, and I couldn't see anything,
but you're welcome to check yourself.
OK.
Thanks.

How's he doing? Is there any change?
Still the same.

Is it OK if I just go say hello to Anna?
Yeah.
