She waited for you to go out before telling me.

Upstairs now, and bleach down the toilet.

What for? What?

What are you on report for? Nothing!

Turn that off. It's footy!

You can have it on later. Have you seen those emails?

In your bag. They're not in my bag.

Insolence. It says "insolence". I never done nothing!

Oh, no, God, no.

Don't worry, love. It's not as bad as it looks.

She's bleeding from her ear? What's it mean when you bleed from an ear?!

She's gone to the hospital.

Well, I'll see Angela. Angela's gone with her.

Is she all right? Couldn't you come out?

I was sorting the kids out. I didn't hear anything.

I didn't see... I didn't hear anything.

Just few questions, Stan. About the accident.

Just a few more questions, Yvonne. About the accident.

I told you, I didn't see it, I just heard it. I know, Yvonne.

But we need to know where the child was in relation to the car

and whether anybody moved her - two questions, really.

I don't think anybody moved her.

Eddie was there, kept saying, "Don't move her."

Can I come in, Yvonne? It's a bit awkward right now.

I need you to sign a statement. I've got the kids in the bath.

How old are they? Two, four and six.

And you've left them alone in the bath?

Yeah, that's why I've got to go.

I'll come down the station. I'll sign it there.

You said you were putting it in.

You said - I'll do it now!

You can't do it now. You're pissed!

You'll break your neck!

You'll get your little share, won't you?

Hey?

I'll scream.

All right. XYLOPHONE NOTE STRIKES

Hey!

Have you fed the kids? No.

Well, send one of them to the chippie. Right.

How is she? I've got the pyjamas in the dirty wash.

Put them in the machine. How is she?

And turn the knob to 40, right? Yes. How is she?

You were watching the footy, weren't you?

Tell me how she is.

Not good.

How fast were you going?

About ten miles an hour.

I'd only just got into it.

You'd left it with the engine running? Yep.

So you were in a hurry.

I was doing ten miles an hour.

What's with all the sweets? Oh, I'm a salesman.

Oh.

Have you got kids? Yeah.

Well, do you want to take a...

Couldn't.

Look, I wasn't trying to...

Just a jar of sweets.

You need the car, then, for your job?

Yes, it's a company car.

And the girl stepped out from behind the taxi,

she froze and you hit her.

She walked straight into the path of the car.

The witness saw it different.

What have you been saying, Yvonne? What?

You told the police I wasn't looking where I was going,

that I was driving too fast. I told them I didn't see anything!

What are you doing to me, Stan? Just saying what I saw.

You told them I wasn't watching. I'm sorry, Peter.

You're a good man. That's gonna get me banged up.

There was nothing I could do. Not gonna lie over something like this.

It was slow motion for me, Peter. She froze.

She didn't - I thought you were gonna brake.

But you weren't looking. I was looking!

There's no way you were looking. I was looking -

You had plenty of time to brake.

I'm sorry, Peter, that's what I saw.

And that's what I'm saying.

Those bollards get moved over my dead body, right?

Right.

How is she? You bastard!

Copper comes to the door for a statement,

he wants to come in, but I've got the whiskey there.

Luckily enough she didn't see Katy getting hit,

so he went away.

Lucky enough?

Mm.

What's up?

What's up? Yeah.

You get on my tits sometimes, Sean, do you know that?

I'm legit. I work my bollocks off and pay through the nose for it.

Income tax. National insurance.

Money that pays for little girls in hospital.

And you! You bastard.

The invisible man. Never paid a penny in your bleeding life!

Lucky enough!

I want to thank you for what you did for her.

(CHUCKLES WEAKLY) How is she?

Do you remember that time you all went to the park...

..and you dropped my umbrella in the lake?

And you came back and you told us.

And your dad said, "Right, get your swimming cossies on,

cos you're going in that lake and you're getting it back."

It was freezing.

But you thought he was serious.

You started crying.

Do you remember that?

Hm?

Squeeze Mummy's hand if you remember that.

And the time you won the book.

If I thought it'd do any good at all, I'd give my life. Do it.

I would if I thought - Then what?

It'd do a lot of good.

It'd make me feel better!

I can give you two reasons.

As a matter of fact, I can give you three.

One, it's not his fault what happened to Katy, it's his dad's.

Two, you'll get expelled if you do it again.

And three, I'll batter you if you do it again.

That's why you're doing it, though, isn't it?

Cos it's good of you.

Now we're paying for it.

It's got nothing to do with what we were up to, nothing at all.

15 years living with the same man.

Sleeping with the same man.

Same bloody predictable man.

And I seized the chance to have a bit of fun.

God says, "You'll pay for it."

It's fine.

Fine, punish me for it.

Bit of excitement, bit of pleasure.

Punish me for it.

But don't do it by taking my child.

An innocent child.

What kind of sick, twisted God is it

that would punish me by taking my child?

Keep away from me.

I want you to tell the truth.

Have you been talking to Stan? Yes, I've been talking to Stan.

Well, he's talking shite.

It was an accident.

I don't mind being punished, Ange, in fact I want to,

because it was me who was driving that car. You're lying.

It could have been anybody driving any car, but it was me.

She was wearing this. I hurt Katy, so fine, punish me for it!

I know Arthur wants to batter me, so fine, let him batter me!

Will you listen to me? She loved wearing it.

I am talking about my kids!

I'm talking about the damage that you're gonna do to my kids!

You have our total sympathy,

but you've got to understand our predicament.

You did not go through the council - What's he doing here?

And that means the bollards have got to go,

otherwise everyone in the city - Chin him!

And that means chaos.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't my fault."

I want you to tell the truth in court.

Want you to own up to what you did to my child.

You think God's punishing you.

If I tell you the truth you'll know God's punishing you.

Tell me.

I wasn't looking.

I was passing your house...

..and I tried to see through your window.

And that's how I hit Katy.

I was trying to catch a glimpse of you.

Thinking about the two of us on the wet kitchen floor.

The defendant was doing 15 to 20 miles per hour.

Yes.

That's your estimate?

Yes.

Do you drive? No.

Have you ever driven?

No.

Then why should we accept your estimate?

You were attacked by Katy's father. Yes.

A vicious attack. Yes.

Did you go to the police? No.

Why not?

I could understand why he did it.

He loves his daughter.

You say the defendant wasn't looking where he was going.

No, he wasn't.

He was looking away? Yes.

At what?

I don't know.

Did you see Katy after the incident? Yes.

You visited her in hospital? Yes.

And did you have any dealings with Katy's mother?

Yes.

You drove her to the hospital and back on a number of occasions.

Yes.

How good is your eyesight?

Average.

Will you read this headline?

Will you read it, please?

I can't.

She stepped straight in front of the car.

I jammed on immediately, but it was a total accident.

We are satisfied that this was an accident.

The accused obviously feels great remorse.

But if it's any comfort to him, it is our opinion

that he is not to blame in any way whatsoever.

Goodnight, sweetheart.

I've got something to tell you.

I'm sorry about this, Eileen...

..but he's not getting off scot-free.

He was remembering shagging me when he hit Katy.

Looking into my window,

remembering shagging me.

And he ran my Katy over.
