[ominous music playing]
[gasps]
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Where's James?
They're taking his statement.
He'll be okay.
Okay.
[snores]
Do you want a drink?
I'm all right.
[machine whirring]
[liquid dispensing]
[machine clicks]
[Alyssa] I can't do this any more.
So if that all looks okay to you, just sign at the bottom.
And then I can just go?
Yeah.
I've got a suspended sentence.
I know.
You're just a witness. She's confessed to everything.
Right.
Okay.
What's going to happen to her, to Bonnie?
[inhales deeply]
I don't know. [exhales]
I don't think she's very well.
[clicks tongue] What can you do?
Err...
A bit more?
[exhales]
Yeah.
We'll need to speak to you again.
Where can we find you?
Uh...
I'm sort of between places.
Okay. Can I give your girlfriend's address?
She's not...
She's not my girlfriend.
[James] But she was my friend.
-Thanks for waiting. -That's okay.
Where's Alyssa?
-[Leigh] Gone somewhere. -What?
We'll see her at home.
[church bells ringing]
[mellow country song playing]
[James] Okay.
-Where are you going? -Thanks for the clothes.
James.
[James] After Bonnie, after everything the night before,
it felt odd that Alyssa had just gone.

Yep.
What, the killer?
Uh... yeah.
[inhales] Stay inside.
[breathes deeply]
I really want to punch you.
You can if you like.
-What's the point? -Look, I'm sorry to bother you,
but is Alyssa here?
No. Why?
Do you know where she might be?
No. Is she-- Is she okay?
She's fine.
[James] At least I hoped she was.
Okay. Thanks.
[melancholic music playing]
[James] Dread can start as a small thing.
It's so quiet, you can pretend not to hear it.
But it gets loud.
Really loud.
Ducks.
[James] And you can't ignore it any more.
[Bonnie] I think you knew my boyfriend.
People are supposed to get punished.
[Alyssa] You think we weren't?
[James] I suddenly knew where Alyssa might be.
Hi, can I borrow a pen and some paper?
Thanks. [exhales]
Can you give this to the woman in the waiting room?
-The awake one. -Sure.
["Swervin" playing]
[Alyssa] It's easy to feel like you're not in control of your life.
That's because you're not.
You can't stop things happening.
You just have to deal with them when they do.

Alyssa?
James?
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Why are you wet?
I went for a swim.
I feel better now.
What's wrong?
What's wrong with you?
The note.
[shakily] You left a note.
Uh, yeah, saying I'd be back later.
[shakily] You said to look after me.
I didn't mean forever.
I thought you were gonna do something bad.
I wasn't going to do that, James.
[swallows]
[crying]
I wasn't.
[Alyssa] He feels really small.
I'm sorry I scared you.
[sobbing]
Can we get out of here, please?
[horn honks]
This is where they met? Your parents?
Yeah.
What were they doing? Dogging?
Sorry.
It used to be a park.
[cars passing]
He was sitting on a bench.
He told her he loved her straight away.
She was walking her nan's whippet...
and I was eating a sandwich.
It was... just like something out of a film.
-[horn honks] -That's nice.
[James exhales]
You don't have to do it, James.
I think I do.
Okay.
Oh, no.
What?
[James] I didn't know when,
but my dad had got a bit wet.
Oh, he's like a paste.
It's still him.
[breathes deeply]
[exhales]
[clicks tongue]
Maybe I just...
just sort of pour him.
[breathes deeply]
It's shit being dead, isn't it?
[sighs] Yeah.
You miss everything.
Yeah.
[sighs] I'm sorry.
What for?
For trying to make you the answer.
It's not fair.
I've been quite shit too.
I'm really hungry.
Me too.
You should have scattered him here.
I'm joking.
[Alyssa] I read somewhere that if you want to talk to someone
about something important, it's easier if you don't look at them.
It's less confrontational or something.
I heard what you said.
At the car pound.
What?
[James] I knew exactly what.
I love you.
I feel the same.
What?
Really?
Yeah.
-I... -But I need a lot of time.
Okay.
And some psychological help.
Okay.
And I owe my mum about ten grand.
Okay.
[breathes deeply]
But yeah.
["Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" playing]
[James] I love you too.
[Alyssa] Yeah, don't go on about it.
