We are here to reach a compromise. A compromise doesn't work, does it?

This programme contains some strong language

Wait! Wait! HORN BLASTS AND BRAKES SCREECH

There's one more thing I need you to do.

You'll be glad to know it's legal.

When I've ruled in your favour,

I often feel that I'm doing so unwillingly,

in spite of you.

What if there is something we can do?

Do you have to ask such impossible questions? Yes, I do.

It's not your fault, Evan. Those people, trusted friends.

They've surprised me.

You're a heartless bitch! You watch yourself.

If it was your kid, Faith...?

Absolutely.

Mike? OK. We might even get before a judge tomorrow.

Oh, no! Faithie...

..I've missed you so much!

No! There's just some things I need to tell you.

I said never again!

FAITH GRUNTS

I will never trust you again, Steve!

HE SIGHS

Angie?

What the hell are you doing here?!

Hi, Dad. It's the middle of the night!

Were you going to let me know that you were on your way?!

Hi, Dad.

HE SIGHS Come here!

It doesn't matter if it's three in the morning

or if it's bloody snowing. You call me, OK?

OK?! Come on.

Got any food? I'll get something in the morning.

Now, text your mam and let her know where you are.

Bed.

Now, what's going on, Angie?

Why are you here?

Alys needed some moral support.

The custody thing's sorted next week.

I don't mind, really, as long as I get to choose the wines.

What is it?

Once Evan and Faith sort themselves out,

do you think you'll have a bit more headspace to think about us?

Ah.

When am I going to have that

grown-up conversation with Marion, you mean?

Just a place of our own would be nice.

It's that bed. My back can't take it much longer!

I will buy you a bateau lit, in burnished walnut.

SHE SCOFFS

Just a proper mattress will do!

HE CHUCKLES

Idiot!

SHE LAUGHS

Why you bringing wellies to school?

Nature trip.

Really? I haven't signed anything.

Er, Dad signed them.

Where you going, then?

Er... Cenarth Falls.

Oh, you're putting it up more, are you? Lucky thing!

Here you are, there's your lunch bag.

Let's see now, then, if Rhode can do it on his own.

I don't believe it!

Girls, look at this! Look at this!

On his own, look! Go on. On your marks, get set, go!

Go, go, go, go! Yes!

Look at that! Hallelujah, we're getting somewhere!

GULLS CRY

WHISPERS: Just concentrate on Osian.

Just concentrate on Osian.

Deep breaths, Faith, you've got this.

All right?

Right! Coffee? That one.

Thank you. No worries.

Right, you're going to have to lead on this, Cer.

I need to keep my emotions,

you know, clear for this custody hearing.

How's that bloody going?

"How's that going?" I just said I need to keep my emotions clear!

OK, have a doughnut. Because it's... Have a doughnut.

Why...? Look, oh, here you go with your sprinkly doughnuts!

Just give me the...! Eat it! It'll make me go cuckoo.

If you'd just got me a plain one, you know, I'd have half a chance.

You'll be footloose and fancy-free soon, babe.

Well, free would be nice, just... You know, just free.

They'll be queuing round the block for you.

Cerys, do you think I've changed?

Do you want the full—fat version? Absolutely, I do, yeah. Yeah, I do.

You're thinner, spikier, unhappier,

less fun, less frank, less Faith.

Thank you, Cerys! OK.

Any time, Faith. Mm.

Oh. Morning, Gareth.

You wouldn't, would you? Bloody would.

CERYS CHUCKLES

Yeah, the way it works is that Osian has his own lawyer,

a barrister, appointed by Cafcass, and we represent you.

I know, I know. We've agreed. We're going to take the risk.

We understand that, Mike, but we will need to put that to a judge.

So, with any luck, we'll get seen today and get things rolling.

He couldn't lift his left arm today, Faith.

Well, we'll get things moving as quickly as possible.

I'm scared all this legal stuff's going to be too stressful for him!

Are we doing the right thing? Yeah, well, I believe we are, yes!

But, you know, it's up to you to be sure.

HE SIGHS

Susan's started a justGiving page, but in the meantime

I've spoke to the bank, we're sorting something out.

I'll have some money with you...

Mike, are you still sure you want to go ahead? Yes.

Right, have you eaten today? I'm absolutely starving.

Come on, let's get out of here.

SHE SNIFFS

Anything I can get you from the outside world?

I miss my dog.

Your dog?

Come on, then. Pictures.

Let's have a look.

Well, he is massive, isn't he? Look at him.

I thought if he was small and cute,

I could have... popped him under my coat, you know.

But I'd think security will notice if I bring him in.

What do you think?

He is massive.

When my mum died, Milo always knew when I was sad.

He'd put his nose on my knee.

OK. Well, apart from the Great Dane,

is there anything else I can bring you in?

A bit more portable.

Lavender oil?

It reminds me of my mum.

I can do that.

Absolutely, Mrs Bancroft.

Yeah. No, it's a fantastic location.

Well, I'll get the OS plans over to you this afternoon.

OK. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Ms Rose Fairchild...

Grandchildren?

You pregnant? What?

You're eating all the time.

I haven't had a shag in two months.

Most action I've had in the last three years is a smear test.

That's gross. Oh, shit! I'll leave you to it.

Good morning, Faith. What you doing here?

Just a new case. Sick child.

Sicker than your own child?

I really think Meggie needs to see the doctor.

Megs is suffering with anxiety,

but you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?

Cos Evan's never had an emotional problem in his life, has he?

It's constant, isn't it? It's absolutely constant with her.

Always making me feel like a bad mother.

Excellent at it. Always making me feel like a bad...

Suck that!

SHE SIGHS HEAVILY

MESSAGE ALERT WHISPERS: Just calm down.

Rose, you bitch!

Faith! Lovely to see you!

THEY LAUGH

Fancy a coffee?

I've discovered this new Java Lava blend and it's gorge!

I've got to see Evan. He shouldn't be long.

Well, I'll wait, then.

Well, take a seat! Right.

How's Tom?

Gorgeous, charming, still hasn't spoken to Marion.

Delyth, why don't you take your lunch break?

EVAN SIGHS

You always told me, my parents...

...everyone we know,

your mother walked out on you when you were 15 years of age.

Yeah.

And then this turns up, out of the blue,

25 years later, in a legal email.

Let's have a look, then.

They've copied you into it, Faith. You've read it.

That's why you're here. So let's not play games.

What's going on, Faith?

Why have you been telling lies all these years?

Don't talk to me about lies, Evan.

You'll find you're not on solid ground.

We just say no. It's easy, isn't it? Say no.

Under no obligation. We say no.

When was the last time you saw her, your mother?

When I was 15.

And no contact whatsoever? No.

Might she have a legal cause to see the kids? No.

No, she's just stirring up trouble. She's got no case. I don't, um...

I can't have her anywhere near them.

Oh!

INTERCOM: Lisa Connors to room three, please.

We've got seven minutes.

We've had this chat before.

If you don't take stopping drinking seriously, now,

you'll be dead in six months.

OK. Right. Right you are.

How many units do you drink a day, on average?

Er... Units or bottles?

I'd like to arrange some counseling. No! It's...

It's me and it! I suggest...

No, I am not messing around, OK?

You coming in? Come on.

You OK?

Do you think we could have a private chat? What's he said to you?

Evan, what's he said to you? I told him not to say anything.

What do you mean? What do you mean? What?

No, look, you've got to speak to Alys.

She's going off the rails.

I had to go into the school today because she's been truanting.

Seriously? Yes.

Right. OK, well...

Oh, Shit!

Shit! The... Oh, the school did

phone me, they didn't leave a message.

I should have phoned back, I know.

I'm sorry, I've just been absolutely run ragged. I'm so busy.

I've been at the hospital. What, with Megs?!

Osian Taylor. It's a... It's a disagreement about surgery.

Do you really think this is the time to be taking a big one like that on?

Yeah, I do actually, Tom. Because it's a...

I think we've got a really strong case here!

Tomorrow, ten o'clock, Judge Owens.

Result! Hi, Tom.

Oh-ho-ho! Your old friend. Oh, good luck with that one.

SHE SCOFFS

Thank you for being there for us.

Just trying to be a good father.

And a good grandfather.

Stay strong now.

Look at me.

OK? Yeah.

Hmph.

The manager at the gym.

Hospital.

In a coma.

I could let the police know someone else did the job, but, um...

...I might need something in return.

SHE CHUCKLES

Go now.

You can go now!

CAR DOOR CLOSES, ENGINE STARTS

You look sexy in a suit. Oh. Arthur.

Mr Baldini, he's a good friend of yours. You see much of him?

Here and there. Round the place, you know.

Monday night, late, any idea where he was?

Nothing leaping to mind, you know?

Could he have been with a woman?

You seen the state of his place?

Is Baldini sleeping with Faith Howells?

Why you asking me that, then?

Friends. Thought you might know.

Don't go talking to Faith about this now.

Hope you're fully licensed for all this.

MEGAN SOBS QUIETLY

It'll all be over soon.

But Mum's so stressed all the time.

DOOR OPENS Tell me about it.

DOOR CLOSES

Hi, guys!

Sit there, then, Rhode. There's a good boy!

Oh! Good lad.

Hey... Megs?

Result! I've finally found it.

After, like, I don't know, 20 million years of looking.

I nearly got arrested a few times

along the way, but this is for you.

My bestest bestie.

Only one left on the whole planet.

And it's yours.

She's not to come near my children.

What's she done, Faith? I don't want to know her.

I don't want to see her.

I don't want to know nothing. I don't want to...

I never want to see her again, a-a-and you either,

if you're mixed up with her.

I want... Well, I need you, I need you to cut her out of your life.

Do you understand me? Because you will get hurt.

Please!

Stay clear of her.

Please!

And I have no idea what I'm meant to say to Williams

if she comes looking for your alibi.

No idea what I'm meant to say about that.

I'm not particularly interested either.

CAR DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Oh, that was a late one! You OK?

Sorry, darling. OK.

Alys home? I'm going to kill her.

I'm going to kill her!

She played truant today.

Oh, go easy on her, babe.

Megs OK? Yeah, she was good tonight.

Did some crazy maths.

Look at that, it's for you.

Oh, Lis! Really?

LISA CHUCKLES

Oh, thank you, darling! Thank you, thank you!

Oh! Don't touch me there!

THEY LAUGH

Thank you! Thank you! I won't do it again.

Oh!

LISA OPENS FRIDGE

Where's your glass, then, darling?

Um... No, do you know what? Um...

I've got... I've got a bit of a clicky stomach, you know?

A clicky stomach? Oh, you're so childish!

FAITH LAUGHS I am. You are.

Oh, you made me happy. Thank you.

Right, then. Do you know what? I'd better be off.

And please, don't be too hard on Alys, OK?

There's some flowers that came for you, too. Lovely colour.

I put them in some water for you.

And there's a card, too.

Do you know, I've never heard Marion call you Faithie before?

She's going soft on you, is she?

Night, babe. Night-night.

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Is that not Evan Howells' mobile number?

He's not here at the moment. Can I take a message?

You can tell him to phone back with an answer,

or he'll be issued with a writ.

CALL DISCONNECTS

Sorry, got to dash.

Bye.

Evan! Busy day.

GULLS CRY

You going to say anything?

Yes, I am!

You are not to lie, you are not to truant

and you are not to forge my signature, OK?!

Please, Alys! Alys, please!

Please, darling, in the next two weeks,

I've got to try and find this boy potentially life-saving surgery,

I've got all this custody stuff with your dad, and...

...and a bunch more, you know, all sorts of stuff

that you don't need to...

No, no, no, you don't need to know about. Please!

See you when you can fit us in! I didn't say that.

That is just not what is... Just not...

Your Honour, Professor Rhys and the MDT have concluded that

the net harm of surgery is far worse than any possible benefit,

and that conservative treatment should be the way forward.

Excuse me, Your Honour, you will also have read the expert report

from Professor Wynn that reaches a very different conclusion.

If surgery is successful, if the tumour is removed,

Osian would still suffer severe sensory,

motor, cognitive damage.

You'll also see from the Cafcass report that Osian is not able

fully to appreciate the severity of what is being proposed.

Your Honour, Osian and his father have discussed the matter at length

and they are both, they are BOTH determined

that this surgery should proceed.

Your Honour, the Cafcass report also shows that the extent to which

Osian's opinion is being influenced by his father is of considerable...

Wait... ..is of considerable concern!

With respect, the contents of that report do not accord with

my direct experience of Osian... Oh...

...and his dad, and my client. Your Honour...

No, it's all right, Mr Tate.

Mrs Howells, I have to remind you

not to attempt to speak on behalf

of those who are not your client.

I'm sorry, Your Honour.

I propose...

...this being an exceptional case,

to talk to Osian myself,

with a view to forming an opinion

as to his capacity to understand

what is going on.

If it's convenient for the hospital,

I propose to visit this afternoon

at five o'clock.

This isn't what Mike wants, Faith. Everything he has said has been

about protecting Osian from the legal process.

He is a clever boy. It doesn't matter.

I want to explain everything to him.

All parents are overprotective, Cerys. Oh, here we go! OK.

They are! You know? I know I'm... I'm guilty of it myself.

Do you think...?

Do you think that I was... I was wrong then?

What's right? What's wrong, Faith? I don't know.

PHONE RINGS

Steve.

Yeah, I made a mistake.

I won't be messenger boy between you and Faith any longer.

It's too difficult.

Do you love her that much?

HE SIGHS I don't owe you any answers.

By the way,

why has she stood by that weak,

so-called lawyer all this time?

She's standing by her kids.

Which is exactly what I'm trying to do!

HE SIGHS

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

How could you be so sloppy?!

Sorry? What's that?

Have you checked the date on this map? It's a right of way!

Running straight through the middle of the bloody site!

You conveyed land for Mansell without the simplest of checks!

This... this is gross negligence!

I'm surprised you haven't heard from them. I did all the checks!

Bullshit! Bullshit!

Delyth's right, you... you've become a liability.

And all I do is defend you all the time.

I need to calm down and you need to think

what you're going to say to Mansell, because...

...you do realise we're looking at a negligence action

of a seven-figure sum?

Have you been checking up on me?

Yeah. All your life.

Or lager, or vodka.

It was more or less anything I could get my hands on.

It came with the self-harming.

Hi. Um... Yeah, sorry. Sorry I'm late.

Um...

Is it...? Is it OK if I...? Grab a chair.

I'll just listen in, as it's my first time.

Actually, do you know what? I'm just... I'm just going to...

Just going to have a quick... quick wee, OK? Um...

I've been listening to you all and...

...well, we're stuffed really, aren't we?

Um... Sorry, I've never done anything...

...anything like this before. Um...

Dinner parties, that's what I do. I... I get people to meet up,

and if they hit it off and if it leads to a shag, then happy days.

Cos people are lonely, aren't they?

Deep, dark, groaning lonely.

Stinky pyjamas lonely.

I want a man.

Don't seem to be able to keep one.

I mean, I'm not a... I'm not a bad person, I'm...

...I'm quite nice, really, all things considered, but...

...I like to drink.

Drink is my...

...friend.

Drink is... is loyal.

Wine.

Not spirits or... or shots,

unless it's somebody's birthday or a divorce party.

It...

It gives me confidence. It...

It takes the fear away.

I mean, I'm... I'm not like you, with your anger at your mum,

or you, with all those awful things that have happened to you. It's...

It's just me.

And I...

And I—I don't like me.

I don't like me very much.

I think I'm...

I think I'm shallow,

I'm boring,

and I am one-million percent worthless, and...

...I can't remember it not being like this!

So, is... is this what we do every week?

We just sit around in a circle and let our shit hang out, is it?

Well, it's my liver.

That's the problem.

And it's now or never.

SHE SIGHS

And I'm scared.

I'm shit-scared.

Thank you.

SHE CLEARS THROAT Thank you.

SHE SNIFFS

Kids decide when they want to die.

SHE SNIFFS

Er...

I was wondering actually, um...

...if you might like to go for a drink...

...after work.

Are you asking me out?

I'm just putting it out there.

Mm-hm. There's no pressure.

OK.

SHE EXHALES

Your spiral staircase is getting a lot of compliments.

It's a great view of the estuary from it. Mm.

From the fifth step.

I'm lucky. You're very, very lucky.

I'm sweating, sorry. That's OK.

It's always warm in these places, I think.

OK?

You're a very beautiful woman, Faith.

Come on, we've got to go.

GULLS CRY

MACHINE BEEPS STEADILY

Did he have a good night? Yeah.

Hello, Osian. I'm Mrs Owens, and I'm the judge.

Thank you.

The reason I'm here today is because the hospital and your father

can't agree about your treatment,

and I'd like to know what you think about it.

Oh. Are you all right?

Here. You all right?

It's my left arm.

I can't feel it since yesterday.

That must be very difficult for you.

You all right now?

We've all been discussing

whether you should have an operation

to remove your tumour.

SHE CHUCKLES

Are you aware of the risks involved

should we continue and go ahead with the operation?

Me and Dad have discussed it, yes.

Are you in a lot of pain, Osian?

I'd like to know what you think.

Do you think you should have the operation?

Well, my dad says it's best, so...

Have they thoroughly explained the risks to you?

It mightn't work at all,

or it could even make things worse.

Dad says it's for the best, so...

Is this your mum?

Thank you.

She ran the Carmarthen Wind Band.

Ah! She taught me the cornet.

I bet you played all the solos.

THEY LAUGH

This must be a very painful time for you, Mr Taylor.

My husband was ill for a very long time and I remember the exhaustion.

He's a lovely boy.

The good thing is he doesn't seem to be in any great pain.

Please make this quick, Mrs Owens.

Time isn't on his side.

He has great respect for you.

Thank you.

FAINT SOBBING

I'm all right.

OK? Yeah.

You can take your money out of the firm.

I never, ever want you to feel insecure in the business

because of Evan's... shortcomings.

You know the moment I fell in love with you?

When you stood in the witness box

and spoke out for Faith and the kids.

It was brave and honourable.

SHE SIGHS DEEPLY

Why do I feel so sad?

It's strange.

Why didn't I meet you 40 years ago?

Race you.

Oi! Oi!

Come here!

WHISPERS: Get out of my fucking house!

Megs?

Come on, my darling.

I'm here.

I'm here!

Go on. OK, my darling, let's get you up.

You can leave.

HE SIGHS

DOOR CLOSES

What are you doing here? Didn't Lisa say?

She's got some bug, had to go back to bed. I said I didn't mind.

Thank you, I appreciate it.

You can leave now.

I made pasta. I didn't know if... No, thank you.

It's time for you to leave. You don't live here any more.

You're using my pans.

Lisa asked me to help out!

Couldn't make pasta without using your fucking pans!

I made your favourite!

Fresh sauce.

It won't kill you.

Have you given any thought to your mother's access letter?

You need to leave now. If you won't come up with any answers,

then I will. I'll speak to her!

NO!

HE EXHALES

No.

I've left my bloody briefcase in the office again with all this...

It's just, I'm all over the...

All... All over the bloody shop.

Er... Can you, er, stay until Alys gets back, please?

Yeah. Yeah, of course. Hope he's worth it.

Oh, do you know, Evan, I haven't even got time to take a shit?

Grow up. Glad to hear it, Mrs Howells.

Have YOU found anyone, Evan?

Nothing would make me happier...

...if you stood there and you told me that you had.

You need someone, Evan, you really do, because I...

...I don't. I never have.

There's no-one, Faith.

And you deserve to be loved.

I just think Gael Reardon wasn't the right one. Oh, don't be a bitch!

I am tr... DOOR CLOSES

Any food? Yes, my darling.

Yes, darling, it's in the pan.

I've got to go back to the office, unfortunately.

Again? Yes.

And you are 14, it's legal.

I love you.

Your father's just going.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

What was the score? 5-0.

Here you go.

Love you. Goodnight, Dad.

Horror or romcom? Horror.

Wine or tequila?

Guess. Not how it works.

Tequila, every time.

THEY CHUCKLE

Girls or boys?

Both? Both.

SHE LAUGHS

So, how long have you been a lawyer?

Too long. Hm-hm.

Hm.

How long do you reckon?

Till he goes into a coma.

HE SIGHS

Sorry, that is...

...not... Sorry.

Er... How many hours a day do you have to work out

to get arms like this?

HE CHUCKLES I'm not joking.

It's 24/7. Yeah? Uh-huh. Mm.

SHE LAUGHS Mass.

PHONE BEEPS

That's not your office, Faith.

Faithie!

You not going to take your coat off?

Do you want a drink?

Anything?

Don't mind if I do? Shit house.

You think? Yeah.

Well, I like it.

You stay away from me and you stay away from my family,

and you never send me irises again.

I want to see my grandchildren before I die.

You're a selfish woman.

They are my flesh and blood, Faithie.

Don't call me that!

I don't want my children to meet you. You will mean nothing to them.

I've thought about you... every day.

For 25 years, I've always thought,

I wonder where you are and what you're doing.

Because you'll always be my little girl.

You're wrong.

You're so, so wrong.

You don't know who I am.

You don't know who I am. You don't know who I am now. You...

Stay away from us, because...

...I've clone it before. Do you remember?

Mm-hm. Yeah? And I'll do it again.

Well, just come and sit down. I don't want to sit down!

I don't want to be here!

I don't want to hear you!

I don't want to smell you and your cheap fucking whisky!

I don't want to ever, ever give you a chance to hurt me...

...ever again.

Baby, I'm so, so sorry.

I want to look after you.

I want to be there for you

when you're having this difficult time.

I'm going to... go.

Isn't it time you were honest with yourself?

What is your problem with me?

I just want to make mends.

I want to make things good.

It's not good to bury bad feelings.

And I'm asking you...

...to forgive me.

You want me to forgive you? Yes.

That's what you want — You want forgiveness? I do.

You want... You want forgiveness? I do.

That's what you want, is it? Yes. Sit!

Sit down!

You sit down!

Sit down. You...

You are a woman who harms.

And you are a woman who hurts.

And you are a woman who humiliates.

I have seen you have a man beaten to a pulp

because he owes you, and you want to raid the memories?

That was a long time ago.

Cos you did, cos they're fucking there and they don't go anywhere!

No. I think about them all the time! Since your father...

DON'T YOU SPEAK ABOUT MY FATHER!

NO!

I'm going.

No! Yes.

No! Yeah, I am.

Turn around.

SOBS: I don't want to turn around! I don't...!

SHE SOBS

I don't want to!

OK.

I know about you and Gael, Faithie.

Got enough to put you away.

SHE SNIFFS

Come on.

Don't you touch...!

Hm!

I would like to leave, please.

All right, then.

Go on, then.

SHE GASPS

Hey, Lis, it's, er... It's Faith.

Evan said you weren't feeling very well.

Please don't leave the kids with him. It's, um...

I'm sorry, Lisa.

I'm truly sorry.

I've been a really, really shit friend lately and, er...

...I was...I was just thinking, when all this custody shit is over with,

um, maybe we can go on a nice...

...a nice, girlie weekend somewhere, you know?

I was thinking maybe Barcelona. That'd be nice, wouldn't it?

You've always wanted to go there. Er...

All right. Anyway, I hope you're OK, darling, and I'm thinking of you.

I love you, Lis.

Bye, darling.

Mike. Want to come in?

All right? Yeah. You all right?

Um...

Ah.

I've come to, um...

I just wanted to apologise for... what happened here...

Right... all those years ago.

FAITH SIGHS

I've never done anything like that before.

Truth is, I was a shitty husband to Sian.

Pretended for years, you know?

For Osian.

As you do, like.

Both poured all our love into him.

Yeah, well, I've been there. Yeah.

Shit! I shouldn't have come here, look!

I can see now it was a mistake,

asking you to, er, take on Osian's case,

and I just think... Are you trying to fire me, Mike?

I've asked Cerys to continue with the hearing tomorrow.

Well, maybe we should talk about this in the morning.

I'm sorry, Faith, I've made my decision.

OK.

OK. Well, tell Osian that I'm sending my love and, um...

Yeah.

Thanks for everything.

Staircase looks good.

Yeah, it does.

You're a good carpenter.

And a good man.

Yeah.

Goodnight.

Yeah?

Rose Fairchild.

Yeah, she's just one of my clients.

She's proving a little bit slippery, you know?

Come on, I thought you trusted me.

I do.

Your name is on her file as her daughter.

Sh...

She walked out on me when I was 15, and now she's back!

I don't feel safe!

I'm not safe!

GULLS CRY

♪ We cannot go back to forever

♪ Cos it won't get better It won't get better

♪ There is nothing left of the home we made

♪ Cos we locked all the doors and windows, now it never can be saved

♪ And after every storm comes denial

♪ Cos it won't get better It won't get better

♪ And all we are is in between the devil and the deep blue sea

♪ And we have got too deep to see the sky again. ♪

I'm not just going to let him get away with it.
