- Mum?

- Um, no, Dad, it's me.

Sam, where are you?

We've been trying to call you

for an hour.

Sorry, I [STAMMERS] dropped

my phone down the toilet.

Um, it's a long story.

Where are you?

We missed the bloody tides

due to your mother's doodling.

I'll have to wait till

the morning to get back.

Look, I...

I don't wanna worry you, but...

SAM:
I donno where Nana is.

Don't worry. She's fine.

Meredith called earlier

to say she was gonna pick her up

for the feast.

- What?

- She's over there now.

Oh. [CHUCKLES]

Okay. Good.

Are you all right, Sam?

Yeah. [CHUCKLES] Sort of it.

- It's been a wierd day.

- ALAN:
Well, look...

Apologize to Father David

for us, will you?

Explain what happened.

We'll be back early tomorrow,

all right?

- Yes. Fine.

- MAN:
Good.

Now you better get home

to get ready.

Okay. Yeah, I will. Bye.

[BOTH SIGH]

He'll be all right.

I know. I...

He manages to get by University

without you.

[PHONE LINE BEEPS]

Daniel!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Evening, young man.

What can I get you?

Um, could I just have

an orange juice, please?

There you are, love.

Have a good night.

So he just turned around

and walked away.

[ALL LAUGH]

Um, excuse me, Meredith.

Would you excuse me

for a moment, please ladies.

I was just wondering if...

- Rachel...

- Yeah, she's not.

And you won't be seeing her

again. Do you understand?

[CHUCKLES]

[WHISPERS] I know what you did

to my little girl.

You filthy animal.

[STAMMERS] Is my nan here?

No. She wasn't feeling well.

She's back at her house.

Thank you for looking after her.

FATHER DAVID:
Well, thank you

everybody, for coming out this evening.

I'm sure you'll all agree it's

been a most wonderful celebration.

ALL:
Here, here.

I'm sure you'll all like to join me

in thanking the ladies of the village

for preparing God's bounteous

feast for us.

ALL:
Here, here.

Now let us now our heads

and give thanks to the creator.

Dear Lord, we offer you thanks for this magnificent

feast that you bestow upon us this season.

We thank you for

brightening our world

and we thank you for the life

of young Megan Lancester

and the joy

she brought to us all.

- Amen.

- ALL:
Amen.

And now, go in love

to serve the Lord.

[MAN WHIMPERS]

Do you know what he did?

What they did?

You don't deserve my help.

F***!
