00:30["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:40Okay, so that's booked.
00:41Just send me a confirmation email.
00:44Thank you, have a nice day.
00:48Friday the 27th?
00:50Friday the 27th, yeah.
00:53Shame I can't get it Saturday.
00:55Oh, yeah, well people can turn it into a long weekend,
00:58aren't they?
00:58Good thought.
01:00But still, Friday the 27th of September sounds like a good day to get married.
01:05Hey, your divorce will have gone through by then.
01:08Absolutely. Are you sure?
01:10I'm so sure I'm going to transfer the five grand deposit right now.
01:14You've split the costs, yeah?
01:16Well, I don't want your dad to feel bad.
01:18All he wants is for me to be happy.
01:20Well, all I want is for you to be happy.
01:25Hey, we'd best get started on our vows then.
01:28Vows? I'm happy with traditional love and cherish stuff, aren't you?
01:33Well, yeah, but it's our one chance to express our feelings
01:36in front of our friends and family, in front of God.
01:39I thought you'd want the traditional things.
01:41In sickness and in health, till death do us part.
01:43You can't get much bigger than that.
01:45I do want tradition. I just... I want it to be personal too.
01:49You know, I want it to be special.
01:52It will be, I promise.
01:55Right, we'd better get a wriggle on.
01:57I told Bethany I'd meet her in the cafe later.
01:59I'm not sure about encouraging her amateur detective thing, Joel.
02:03I want the police to find Lauren too, but... I don't know.
02:07Plus, we have got a whole list of jobs to start.
02:09I mean, it's not just the vows, there are guest lists, menus.
02:12You've got to try on some top hats.
02:14Right, well, first, I represented Nathan, the man who raped her,
02:17so I feel like I owe her.
02:19And second, me in a top hat.
02:22You're just doing your job.
02:24I love that you care about people.
02:27And if we find her, that absolutely nails Roy's innocence.
02:30You're a good man.
02:32I try.
02:34And that is exactly why I am marrying you on Friday 27th September.
02:39Why don't you put that in your vows?
02:42Yeah, I'm going to the hospital in a bit to pick him up.
02:45OK, well, I can give you a lift if you like.
02:47Oh, thanks, but I'm just going to take the water.
02:49Oh, are you?
02:51Well, park the far side of the car park,
02:53cos nobody likes parking near the scapes of Sting, woman.
02:55Oh, thanks for the tip.
02:57You know, I just still can't get my head around
02:59how she could put Roy through this.
03:01I mean, how can she be so selfish?
03:03Don't get me started.
03:05Morning, boss.
03:07Oh, you're early today.
03:09Oh, Mum just dropped me off.
03:11Her idea, not mine. She likes an early start.
03:13So much to do. Missing girls, assaulted local boys.
03:17There you go. Thanks.
03:19Do you mind if I have some brekkie in here before I come into work?
03:22Yeah, go on then.
03:24Cos I don't have no money.
03:30Nina, tell Roy I'll see him later.
03:33There you go.
03:35So, has she said anything to you?
03:37No, she seems to be coping all right, doesn't she?
03:40Although I'm not sure if she needs to be in today.
03:42Well, maybe she just wants to keep busy.
03:45Oh, my ears are burning.
03:47Yeah, cos we're talking about you.
03:49No, I just got my head too close to that eye-level grill,
03:51and they're really warm.
03:53At least she's not lost her sense of humour.
03:55Look, are you sure you want to be in today?
03:57We can manage without you.
03:59What I want is for you both to stop treating me with kid gloves, OK?
04:02I'm fine, and working helps take my mind off the other stuff.
04:05OK, well, whatever you want to do, then that's what we'll do.
04:09Thanks. Well, I'll get back to the kitchen
04:11and you can carry on talking about me behind my back.
04:14At least she seems in good spirits.
04:16Fingers crossed.
04:18Right, I'm going to make some phone call.
04:21Hi. Hi, how are things?
04:23Yeah, OK.
04:24I was just wondering if you'd spoken to Amy.
04:26I sent her some info on the business retreat,
04:28but she's not gotten back to me.
04:30Oh, I think Amy might be cooling.
04:33Really? Yeah, I...
04:35Well, it's my fault. I showed her Oliver's AI
04:38and I think it might have spooked her.
04:40You made it clear that's only one of our many techniques
04:42and opportunities we can offer.
04:44Well, I didn't really get the chance.
04:46She... She shut me down.
04:48Oh. I've always admired your tenacity.
04:51I'm surprised you gave up so easily.
04:53No, I've not gave up. I will speak to her.
04:55It's just I'm gearing myself up for a final push.
04:58I was so right to put my faith in you.
05:01Well done.
05:03Coffee? Yeah, please.
05:06Well, I thought your business study degree
05:09would have covered bookkeeping and accountancy.
05:12It does, but it's obviously not prepared me
05:14for my mother's unique attitude towards numbers.
05:17Well, I would offer to help,
05:19but I've never been very good with numbers.
05:21You know, I prefer the more creative side of life.
05:24Numbers are so cold, soulless.
05:27You know, I prefer the soft, the tender, the warm.
05:31Well, how about you take your soft side
05:33over to the shop whilst I try and make sense of these books?
05:36Good idea. Let's play to our strengths.
05:39I'm looking for patterns, but I can't see anything.
05:43Hmm. Leicester's a big place when you're looking for one person.
05:47She was using your credit card details.
05:49She must have known one day someone would try and trace her movement.
05:53Well, yeah, but the card's been stopped.
05:55So how has she been living? How has she bought food?
05:59Of course, she might not be in Leicester.
06:03After risking going to see Roy at the hospital,
06:05she might have wanted to get as far away as she could.
06:08Or maybe she's feeling braver.
06:10Maybe she's closer than we think.
06:12Any joy?
06:14Not yet. Yeah, we'll keep going.
06:16Craig was in earlier.
06:18I pestered him to put a rocket under the roof,
06:20but he didn't want to do it.
06:22I don't know why.
06:24Yeah, we'll keep going. Craig was in earlier.
06:26I pestered him to put a rocket under the police search.
06:29I mean, the more people looking for her, the sooner we'll find her.
06:32And that way, we'll know exactly why she put Roy through this nightmare.
06:40All right, thanks anyway. Bye.
06:45Oh! How can he be gone already?
06:48Because it was big enough for a family.
06:50For once, we could afford the rent.
06:52We're not the only people looking for accommodation.
06:54Yeah, but how many other people are about to get kicked out of their own home?
06:57There's something I've come up.
06:59Will it?
07:01I spoke to Billy.
07:03He said that the council will put us on a waiting list
07:05and we'll be entitled to emergency housing in the meantime,
07:07so we're not going to go homeless yet.
07:09I know.
07:11But we've got the kids and the school.
07:13Our pub. We don't need this.
07:17I feel like I've let you down.
07:19Can't even put a roof over our heads.
07:21No, you and me, we're a team, yeah?
07:24Even if we end up living in a cardboard box outside,
07:26I'd rather be doing it with you.
07:35Have you checked the photo?
07:38No, she's probably using a false name. Why did you...?
07:43Yes. Yeah.
07:45Well, thank you for not doing anything.
07:47I hope you're this helpful when the police contact you.
07:51What's the knack?
07:53I take it the searching's going well.
07:55I didn't hear you come in.
07:57It's one of my many hidden talents.
07:59I can be stealthy like a ninja when I want to be.
08:01Are you OK?
08:04I'm just frustrated.
08:07Well, let's hope the police are having more luck, eh?
08:11Anyway, how many people have you told?
08:14Told what?
08:16That we've set a date.
08:18That we've got a venue for the wedding.
08:20Oh, I've not had time.
08:23Well, chop, chop, babe. Clock is ticking.
08:26Is that yours?
08:29Work.
08:31I have to go.
08:34Are you sure you're happy?
08:36About setting a date, getting married?
08:40Of course. I'm sorry.
08:42There's just so much to do and work and Lauren.
08:47Look, you worry too much.
08:49Hey, let the police do the job.
08:52You never know, they might have found her already.
08:57Once everything's sorted,
09:00then we can enjoy planning our wedding.
09:04I have to go.
09:06See you later.
09:19Bye.
09:27These are very neat, you know.
09:29Well, it's all she's done all morning.
09:31And she's swinging the lead.
09:33And she doesn't take a blind bit of notice of what I have to say.
09:35Where is she now?
09:37I sent her down to pack in.
09:39But she's still trying to get her head round what's expected of her, you know, in a workplace.
09:44Hmm. I thought maybe you could choose a different worker for her to shadow.
09:48She's learning so much from you, Beth.
09:51Sorry to interrupt, but Betsy has a request.
09:53What request?
09:54I need to leave early for lunch.
09:55We have dinner at one.
09:57That's what I said, but it's an emergency.
09:59What's the emergency?
10:00I spilt some water on my phone and it keeps running out of charge.
10:03I need a new one.
10:04Your phone is not an emergency.
10:06What if I need to phone my mum?
10:08What if I have something really important to talk to her about?
10:12OK, well, you can go half an hour early and come back half an hour early.
10:16OK.
10:17Need a toilet break.
10:22Does that mean I can go for my dinner, is it?
10:24No, it doesn't.
10:25So it's one rule for her and another for the rest of us.
10:28Get over yourself, Beth. She's work experience.
10:31Cut her some slack, haven't you, work?
10:37Hey, you just caught me. I'm actually heading out.
10:40Yeah, Joel mentioned you've not had much luck tracking down Lauren.
10:44No, but I'm going to head over to Leicester.
10:46I've got a list of soup kitchens and hostels that I want to check out.
10:50I mean, it'll probably be nothing, but I feel like I've got to do something.
10:53Well, that might be where I may be able to help.
10:57I was having a little look at the statements and I just...
11:00I think she might have moved on from Leicester.
11:02Really? How come?
11:04Well, come and have a look.
11:06She made most of her purchases on online shops,
11:10but she also bought some rail tickets from a train app.
11:13And I've checked with the train company.
11:15Most of them are a weird day of returns around the Midlands area.
11:18Yeah, I saw those, but I just assumed
11:20that that's where she was picking up the stuff she bought.
11:22Oh, yeah, but look at this.
11:25The last ticket she bought before the card was stopped cost £55.10.
11:30Now, that was an any time single to Warrington.
11:33No return.
11:35I think she might have moved there.
11:37Unless she got the bus back.
11:39There's no sign of a bus ticket.
11:41I mean, why would she do that when she was travelling for free on your card?
11:45I think we should start there.
11:47We?
11:49Well, I'm free all day, if you want some help.
11:52Yeah, let's do it.
12:06Thinking about Lauren. Any news?
12:09Not heard anything, but everyone seems to be looking for her.
12:12Everyone?
12:14Yeah, well, Bethany and Joel were in the cafe earlier,
12:16and apparently Bethany thinks that Lauren's been using a credit card
12:19and living in Leicester.
12:21Leicester? Yeah.
12:23What do the police know about this?
12:25Well, I've tributed Craig into making sure the police do everything they can
12:28to try and find her.
12:30Sounds quite promising.
12:32Yeah, well, she can't hide away forever.
12:34She may have good reason for hiding.
12:38Has the doctor come to see you yet?
12:41Oh, he's already been.
12:43What did he say?
12:45Oh, well, the usual checks, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature,
12:50all within acceptable limits.
12:53All right, so is he going to discharge you, then?
12:56Oh, he also made it clear that I have to continue
12:59with the cardiac rehab programme.
13:02He gave me the leaflet. Leaflet?
13:04It's all the relevant information.
13:06Yeah. They like to hand out leaflets.
13:09He just as easily downloads that information.
13:12Oh, there's some medication.
13:15So can you come home, then?
13:17And that, that's the letter of discharge summary
13:21that he sends to the GP.
13:23So can you come home?
13:25I believe so, yes.
13:27Right, well, do you want me to help you get dressed, then?
13:29I don't think so.
13:31I don't think so.
13:33Right, well, I'll pull the curtain back
13:35and I'll let you get yourself sorted out.
13:40Erm...
13:42Gentle word of warning.
13:44You do not swim around here calling the shots to me.
13:47Word is, Travis is making a good recovery,
13:49but his mum's still fuming, pestering the police
13:51to find the vicious thug who assaulted us.
13:53I feel terrible about what happened.
13:55It didn't just happen. You whacked him with a car door.
13:57Oh, now you're exaggerating.
13:59Can you skip?
14:01Buy me a new phone?
14:03You can only push me so far, you know.
14:05No problem, I've got someone else who'll buy me things.
14:07Really? Another blackmail victim?
14:09Wouldn't you like to know?
14:11Anyway, love to chat, but I'm off for lunch.
14:13I said half an hour.
14:15What's another 20 minutes between friends?
14:17Is she going to dinner?
14:19Oh, Bess, stop it.
14:21I'm sorry, but if she can just swan off whenever she feels like it,
14:23why can't the rest of us?
14:25Because I said so.
14:27Seriously?
14:29You seriously think I'd let a teenager walk all over me, hmm?
14:31Get back to work, Bess.
14:37Kills have a responsibility.
14:39They'll put you in a waiting list for temporary accommodation.
14:41And if that doesn't come through in time,
14:43you're entitled to emergency housing.
14:45Yeah, that's what Billy said, isn't it?
14:47Yes, it's true.
14:49I mean, I've been looking at flats and houses every chance I get,
14:51but there's nothing out there we can afford.
14:53It's ridiculous.
14:55Sorry to interrupt, but I couldn't help overhearing.
14:57Oh, you mean you was here, Wiggin?
14:59Actually, I might be able to help you.
15:01One of my regular customers came in today
15:03to cancel her newspaper order.
15:07How does that help us?
15:09Because her and her family
15:11are having to move out of their rented accommodation
15:13on Balaclava Terrace.
15:15Her husband's got a job in Newcastle.
15:17She's reluctant to move because the rent's so low
15:19and the landlord is apparently a sweetheart.
15:21How many bedrooms?
15:23Er, three and a box room and a small garden.
15:25That could be perfect.
15:27I could call and find out the name of the landlord, if you like.
15:29Yeah, can you?
15:31Oh, please.
15:33After lunch?
15:35I'll do it now and I'll buy you a pint to go with that.
15:37Er, always happy to help.
15:41I'm just a bit gutted it's not closer.
15:43I don't like being away from my pa.
15:45It just don't work out.
15:47Something else will turn up.
15:49Did you see her face
15:51when you showed her the picture of Lauren?
15:53Yeah, then she said she's not seeing her.
15:55She could be trying to protect her.
15:57We need to be careful
15:59not to frighten her off, you know.
16:01I do think we're close.
16:03Yeah, me too. And I think you're right.
16:05I think she's around here somewhere.
16:07Excuse me. Did I hear you mention
16:09a woman called Lauren?
16:11Er, yeah. Yeah, we're her friends.
16:13But we know she's scared but we just want to find her.
16:15Help her.
16:17I think she might be near here.
16:19Really?
16:21I'm happy she can trust us.
16:23Maybe you can speak to her and tell her that
16:25Didi and Bethany just want to help her.
16:27Yeah, or if you know where she's living.
16:29I'm not sure I should say anything.
16:31Look, if she doesn't want to meet face to face that's fine
16:33but maybe you could get her to call us.
16:35We can give you our numbers.
16:37Please, we just want to help.
16:39There's a pub.
16:41King's Arms, about a mile from here.
16:43It's closed down and I know a few people are squatting there.
16:45She might be there.
16:47Thank you so much.
16:49You are her friends? Yeah, yeah we are.
16:51I hope you are. You can't be too careful.
16:53Not with a pregnant kid alone on the streets.
16:55Best of luck.
17:09Hi.
17:11Is it a bad time?
17:13I'd go round in circles with these accounts.
17:15I'd blame my mother if she was here but she's not.
17:17And also Mary's not exactly good with numbers.
17:19Or reality.
17:21Well, I could always take a look if you want.
17:23I don't know.
17:25Listen.
17:27I'm sorry about yesterday.
17:29I shouldn't have shown you all of his AI.
17:31He was your brother as well as my son.
17:33And to be honest with you
17:35you're not the only one who thinks it's a bit weird.
17:37You should have seen the looks Toya and Nick gave me.
17:39I didn't mean to suggest
17:41that you were weird.
17:43Well, anyway.
17:45I just wanted to say
17:47don't let it put you off the institute.
17:49It really can help you in so many ways.
17:51All tailored to our own
17:53individual needs.
17:55Like some better accountancy skills.
17:57Yeah, exactly.
17:59And I'd be happy to help.
18:01How much would it cost me?
18:03Well, make us a brew
18:05and we'll call it quits.
18:07Okay. Thanks.
18:09But please, do have a think.
18:11Long term the institute
18:13really can help you in loads of ways.
18:15I will.
18:17Promise.
18:21Hey, there we go.
18:25Yeah, is that for table six?
18:27Yeah.
18:29I thought they ordered the whites on sale.
18:31No, the red.
18:33Sure?
18:35Hey, it's okay.
18:37Look, don't worry. Easily changed and...
18:39There.
18:41No one will know.
18:43Sure you're okay?
18:45Yes. I'm sorry.
18:47I worry about you.
18:49Well, don't. Okay?
18:51Not until we know for sure that there is
18:53something to worry about.
18:55Right. Look, do you want me to take it over?
18:57It's good. I've got this.
18:59Ah.
19:01Hey, hey, hey.
19:03It's all right. It's okay. I've got you.
19:05Hmm.
19:09Er, Roy?
19:11What you doing?
19:13Oh, just making one or two
19:15adjustments to the staff router.
19:17Right.
19:19And remember what the doctor said to you again?
19:21Well, there is nothing
19:23stressful with a little light
19:25admin. And, you know,
19:27I'm happy to take my time to
19:29recuperate and ease myself
19:31into the more arduous aspects
19:33of cafe hospitality.
19:35Yeah, I should think so.
19:37You've only been back five minutes.
19:39Aye, well, the router can wait.
19:43Yeah, well,
19:45anyways, let's just go to have you back home.
19:49Do you think it'd be all right
19:51to contact Dee Dee
19:53and see if there's been any progress
19:55in finding Lauren?
19:57Right. Well, one text, no more than
19:59two sentences. And yes, you may use
20:01punctuation, but no emojis.
20:03Thank you very much.
20:11Hello there.
20:13Oh, hi. Is everything all right?
20:15Erm,
20:17have you got a minute to talk?
20:21I just need some more money.
20:23I mean, you can afford it. What's the big deal?
20:25You think money
20:29grows on trees?
20:31Some of us have to work to earn money.
20:33Why is this
20:35such a problem for you?
20:37Look at your car, your suit.
20:39You can buy a million phones.
20:41And I need a new one.
20:43You know what it's like. People can't live without a phone.
20:47I need to take this.
20:49Keep quiet, yeah?
20:55Hey,
20:57I just got your messages. I was about to call you.
20:59I think we might have found her.
21:01Really?
21:03That's great.
21:05And you know the guess what?
21:07Apparently she's pregnant.
21:11Where are you?
21:13Warrington.
21:15We're on our way to this run-down pub,
21:17The King's Arms. Apparently she's
21:19living in a squat there.
21:21I could be there in half an hour. Why don't you wait
21:23and we'll check it out together?
21:25I'm not alone. Don't worry. Bethany's here.
21:27I still think it'd be safer
21:29if you wait till I get there. It could be dangerous.
21:31Maybe you could get a coffee. I won't be long.
21:33No, Joel. I don't want
21:35to risk her getting wind and moving on.
21:37All right. Speak to you soon. Bye.
21:43Can I speak now?
21:45Out.
21:47Now. What?
21:49Get out of the car.
21:53You don't need to be like that. It's only a few quid to you.
21:55Just get out and close the door.
21:57You can't leave me. I don't know where I am.
21:59You drove. How am I gonna get home?
22:01Get out!
22:23Is this about
22:25Betsy?
22:27Yeah.
22:29Thing is, it's not really working,
22:31her working at the factory.
22:33Right. What's she done now?
22:35Look, whatever it is,
22:37I'm sure we can sort it out.
22:39No. See, like, I've
22:41already cut her loads of slack
22:43and I've given her chance after chance,
22:45despite her not having any real
22:47experience. Yeah, I know, and I'm very
22:49grateful. Yeah.
22:51Her way of thanking me is
22:53to take liberties and to threaten me.
22:55You see, she's not even there
22:57now. She's not even working.
22:59This is what I came to tell you.
23:01She's actually... Sorry.
23:03Two secs.
23:05This is her now.
23:07Betsy?
23:09What are you...
23:11Where are you?
23:13Say that again.
23:17Stay where you are.
23:19What is it?
23:21I think she said Gable Street.
23:23What's she doing there? That's dangerous. Full of scumbags.
23:25I'm gonna have to drive over and find her.
23:27OK. Do you want me to help?
23:29Two is better than one.
23:31Yeah, thank you.
23:35That was disgusting.
23:37Thank you, sir. And I'm not paying
23:39for it. If there was something wrong,
23:41you should have said before you ate it. You wolfed it down.
23:43I was hungry, and the portion
23:45was stingy. I wouldn't even give it
23:47a one-star review.
23:49A zero, if I could.
23:51Is there a problem, Nina?
23:53No, I can manage.
23:55As long as this man pays for his food.
23:57You go upstairs and rest.
23:59It was rank.
24:01I recall you.
24:03You come to
24:05ogle at me again.
24:07Whisper about what a weirdo
24:09I am.
24:11Hey, is he one of them web sleuths from before?
24:13You look just
24:15as weird as him.
24:17A pair of weirdos.
24:19I bet you were in it together.
24:21Protecting
24:23his dirty secret.
24:25Ah, no, no. By all means,
24:27direct your vitriol at me.
24:29Leave my niece out of this.
24:31By the way,
24:33Lauren has been confirmed
24:35alive.
24:37Something I'm sure you'll find out.
24:39I also hope
24:41that you find the self-awareness
24:43that you currently lack
24:45and realise the negative effects
24:47of your actions. Now,
24:51go away.
24:59This place sounds
25:01whelming.
25:03The garden, although small, has been
25:05described as a mini-kew, which is the
25:07Royal Botanic Gardens.
25:09No need to mansplain, Brian. I know what
25:11a kew is. I've heard Granny Linda
25:13banging on about it. A woman with
25:15fine taste?
25:17Well, if this comes off, you can come round.
25:19You can tan yourself in the weather kew
25:21whenever you want. Why, thank you,
25:23Gemma. It's tragic
25:25that good people like you can't find a
25:27decent place to live, so I'm happy to help.
25:29Not all heroes wear keepsie.
25:31You know, I've always felt
25:33I'd look great in a cowl.
25:35Oh, is he here?
25:37Ah,
25:39no joy.
25:41I didn't even get a chance to see it.
25:43I turned up and there was a massive kew round the corner.
25:45No way. I stood there
25:47for a bit and the kew died down, but
25:49the estate agent came out and
25:51just said the house had gone.
25:53So quick. Thanks for the tip-off,
25:55though, Brian. I'm just sorry
25:57I didn't bear fruit. I'll keep a lookout
25:59if I hear of any other places.
26:01Don't panic, we'll find somewhere else.
26:03What if we don't? We're gonna get
26:05evicted in a month.
26:07Oh, hi, Nina.
26:09How's Rory doing?
26:11He's OK.
26:13It's on the men. I'm still worried about him.
26:15Not sure how much rest he's gonna get in here.
26:17Well, maybe he needs to go away for a bit.
26:19When I went on the retreat with the institute,
26:21didn't the world look good?
26:23Anyway, give him your best, won't you?
26:25Yeah, yeah, I will.
26:27I got you a coffee. You deserve a much bigger
26:29reward. Oh, skinny milk?
26:31Of course. I just wanted to touch
26:33base. So, has Amy signed up
26:35for the retreat? She most certainly has.
26:37Oh, good. I think she'll get a lot from it.
26:39There's something else I want to talk to you about.
26:41We're thinking of setting up another
26:43resource centre in the near future.
26:45The others have done so well financially.
26:47Oh. Well, bring it on.
26:49There might be a job
26:51for you, if you're interested.
26:53Oh, I can't. I've already
26:55got a full-time job.
26:57You could easily fit it around your bistro
26:59commitments.
27:01There is another option.
27:03Oh, yeah? You could be an investor.
27:05Help get it off the ground.
27:07What? You mean, like,
27:09invest my own money?
27:11Yeah, you'd soon get it back with a hefty
27:13profit. You should see the figures
27:15for the others. It would put you
27:17on a completely different level.
27:19Someone with your talent
27:21deserves a share of the profits.
27:23Oh, I'm really
27:25flattered, but I'd have to talk to Nick.
27:27But how much money are we talking?
27:2940k.
27:39Someone asking for you.
27:41Who is it?
27:43I don't know. I don't care.
27:45Go and see for yourself.
27:59...
28:01...
28:03...
28:05...
28:07...
28:09...
28:11...
28:13...
28:15Look, let's not scare
28:17her off by knocking again. He said he's
28:19going to get her. I know, but what is taking them so
28:21long? I don't know.
28:23It's pretty rough, isn't it? Yeah.
28:25So let's tread carefully.
28:27She is here.
28:33Hi, Joel. Yeah, I think we
28:35found her at this pub. I'm almost there.
28:37Okay, see you when you get there. Bye.
28:41Bethany! Bethany, wait!
28:51Is Lauren here?
28:53Yeah.
28:55You've just missed her.
28:57Looks like she's done another runner.
29:13I will scream if you
29:15come anywhere near me. I'm trying to help
29:17you. You don't have to hide from me. Stay away from
29:19me. Let's get in the car.
29:21Get off me! I'm just trying to help
29:23you. You need me.
29:25No, no.
29:29You're going to have to talk to me at some point about what happened.
29:31Yeah, you've been giving me the run around all
29:33day. Now you're doing it to your mum. It's not okay.
29:35Both of you going on and they back off.
29:37That is enough. What the hell were you
29:39doing there in the first place?
29:41It's not an area you should be hanging out in.
29:43But what was so important
29:45to you that you had to drop everything?
29:47Hmm?
29:53Dwayne.
29:57Are you kidding?
30:01No, I'm on my way.
30:03This will have to wait
30:05till later. I need to get back to work.
30:07Thanks again, Carla. No problem.
30:13I'm sure it was something important.
30:15Am I really sacked?
30:17Come on, let's talk.
30:21Leave me alone.
30:23How many times do I need to tell you
30:25I care about you and the baby?
30:27Keep quiet about everything
30:29and I promise I'll make it worth your while.
30:31Hey, you found her.
30:33She hadn't gotten far.
30:35She was hanging around here, then she fainted.
30:37Are you all right?
30:39I felt rubbish all day.
30:41Dizzy.
30:43But then my legs went from underneath me.
30:45I hope the baby's OK.
30:47Sort of.
30:49I wish you would just
30:51stop running away like this.
30:53I thought you hated me.
30:57Look, Lauren, we just...
30:59We want to understand
31:01what's happened that's made you run away all this time.
31:09I'm scared.
31:15Come on.
31:17I think we need to get you to an hospital.
31:19Come on.
31:21Come on.
31:23Let's get her in the car.
31:37Patsy, you! Blackmailing me.
31:39It's got to stop.
31:41Can I plug this in?
31:43You're lucky, you know, when you've got me over a barrel anyway.
31:45Might need to think carefully before getting rid of me.
31:49You know what?
31:51No, you can't
31:53borrow this.
31:55Take your charger and your phone
31:57and shove it!
32:01I'm going to go and tell the police.
32:03And I don't care how much trouble I get in.
32:05I'm not being blackmailed by a kid like you.
32:07I was winding you up. I'm not a grass.
32:09Daddy, you deserve what you did to him.
32:11I saw what you did to your friend Roy.
32:13You were just playing games with me.
32:15No, I admit it.
32:17I went too far with the blackmailing.
32:19Finally, some accountability.
32:21Betsy, what you did
32:23was stupid. I know it was.
32:25I do stupid things when I'm back into a corner.
32:27Life's been rubbish for me lately
32:29and this job is the first thing I've had in ages
32:31to look forward to.
32:33Let me guess, you've got other priorities.
32:35Not everything revolves around you, you know.
32:37Actually,
32:39I do have to deal with something.
32:41But look, Betsy,
32:43I will think
32:45about keeping you on.
32:47Yeah, if
32:49you'd smooth things over with your mum
32:51and just talk to her.
32:53She was out of her mind with Roy just then.
32:57Go on.
32:59Thanks, Carla.
33:08I really hope we get to the bottom of all this.
33:10We will.
33:12Unless she doesn't know the run.
33:14Yeah, she looked to be in a very good way,
33:16did she?
33:18Hi.
33:20Happy to report
33:22that Lauren and the baby are fine.
33:24Her fainting isn't uncommon in pregnancy.
33:26Especially for standing
33:28for any length of time.
33:30Right, she was also living in the squat,
33:32so, I mean, she probably hasn't been eating properly.
33:34Okay, we'll keep her in overnight
33:36and do some scans and observations.
33:38Is she allowed to see visitors?
33:40She's just had an ultrasound, but I'll let you know when you can go in.
33:44I think I might wait till we can see her.
33:46Yeah, well, does anyone fancy a coffee?
33:48Yeah, please.
33:50I'd better get off, but I'll let Max and Bobby know that she's okay.
33:52I'll see you later.
33:54See you later.
33:56I'm going to give Roy an update and I'll...
33:58Yeah, and I'll get that coffee.
34:02Do you think she'd take the day off work?
34:04I've told you, I'm fine, okay? I want to work.
34:06Yeah, but you're not fit to work.
34:08Hi. I've got some really exciting news.
34:12Everything okay?
34:14Oh, he's trying to make me have the day off work.
34:16Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:18Really?
34:20It's no big deal, okay? He's being overcautious.
34:22Anyway, you said you had some exciting news?
34:24Oh, he can wait.
34:26No, I'm okay, honestly.
34:28What's the news?
34:30Rowan wants me to invest in a new resource centre.
34:32Oh.
34:34What, invest as in coffer money?
34:36It's a really exciting opportunity.
34:38And the centres don't lose money.
34:40I'd get a share of the profits.
34:42So I've already rang the bank manager and asked him about remortgaging...
34:44Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:46Over my dead body. You're not doing that without my permission.
34:48No, that's what I want to talk to you about.
34:50No, no, there's other things to worry about.
34:52Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:54Come on, we should be focusing on her.
34:56Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
34:58I'm being really selfish. I'm sorry.
35:00Is there anything I can get you to, yeah?
35:02Well, I'd feel a lot better if you weren't banging on
35:04about the institute all the time.
35:06Yeah.
35:08You know, we shouldn't be thinking about new business, all right?
35:10Yeah, okay.
35:12Well, I'll tell Rowan, then.
35:16What kind of man leaves a vulnerable girl in the middle of nowhere?
35:18Dodgy area.
35:20A creep, that's who.
35:30Hey, I need to speak to you about something.
35:32Roy, where are you going?
35:34Warrington Hospital.
35:36Dee Dee tells me that Lauren's there.
35:38Morning, me.
35:40Morning, Carla.
35:42I don't take it you've heard about Lauren.
35:44I have, yeah.
35:46Yeah, that's where he's going now.
35:48What? No, you've got to stay away from her.
35:50Yeah, she's right. You need to take things slowly.
35:52Anyway, I've spoken to Kathy,
35:54and she's invited you to stay in Scarborough.
35:56And, you know, I think it'll be good,
35:58you know, it gives you a chance to rest.
36:02We've had some happy times here, haven't we?
36:04I don't want to leave.
36:06We'll have happy times wherever we live.
36:08We can't have the kids living somewhere
36:10that's not safe.
36:12How do houses get damp and mouldy?
36:14It's like living in Victorian times.
36:16Anyway, I've spoken to Linda,
36:18and she said that Joseph can live with her
36:20for a bit in her new place in Manchester.
36:22If need be,
36:24he can still go to Old Kirtland.
36:26Gemma,
36:28it isn't me picking him over the others.
36:30It just might speed things up if we're looking for a place
36:32with one less person.
36:34But he's the only one of the kids that she's interested in.
36:38I don't want to split the family up,
36:40even if it's just for a few weeks.
36:42Well, neither do I.
36:44But we might have no other option.
36:46We're a family! We stay together.
36:56What are you doing?
36:58Oh, just slaving away, as per.
37:00Oh, you don't strike me as the diligent type.
37:02Oh, it's over time, babes.
37:04Why'd you try and hide it when I came in?
37:06Well, like a T-shirt, not knickers.
37:08You want to get your eyesight checked.
37:10You're seeing things.
37:12Are you making counterfeit gear?
37:14No, I'm not.
37:16I'm not making counterfeit gear.
37:18I'm not making counterfeit gear.
37:20I'm not making counterfeit gear.
37:22I'm not making counterfeit gear.
37:24Are you making counterfeit gear?
37:26No.
37:30Your deaf are up to something.
37:38Most people complain about the food in here.
37:40Good to see someone's enjoying it.
37:42I'm starving.
37:44Are you eating properly?
37:46Pregnant women need to look after their blood sugar.
37:50What, even skin pregnant women?
37:54Life's not great at the minute.
37:56I keep having to move.
38:02From the minute I found out I was pregnant,
38:04I knew
38:06I had to give this baby a life I never had.
38:10Protect him.
38:12Is he having a boy?
38:14I just hope it's a boy.
38:16It'll be easier for him.
38:18I can see how much you love him already.
38:20I can see how much you love him already.
38:24So please, don't be too hard on yourself.
38:28Messed up.
38:30Do you want to talk about it?
38:34Denise?
38:40I can assure you,
38:42whatever led you here can be sorted.
38:50Oh.
38:54Please don't press that.
38:56What the hell are you doing here?
39:00No Beth?
39:02I did text her.
39:04She says she's volunteering in a soup kitchen.
39:06That's not like Beth.
39:08Oh, yeah. She cares deeply about people who are less fortunate than her.
39:10She says she might climb out Kilimanjaro next year.
39:14Do you mind if I join you?
39:16Of course. Red wine, is it?
39:18No, no. I think I might push the boat out
39:20and have a dirty martini,
39:22if they've got any olives.
39:24I think Daisy gets them in.
39:26I think I might have a clean pint of lager.
39:30Welcome to the Institute.
39:32Thank you.
39:34This is why you're having a celebration drink.
39:36You are going to get so much out of this.
39:38It was my mum wanting me to run the shop that really clinched it.
39:40I wanted to do great. This gives me loads of contacts.
39:44Well, Leanne is going to give you the course details.
39:46I need to run.
39:48Thanks, Rowan.
39:50I just need to have a quick word with him before he goes.
39:52Er, Rowan?
39:54I just thought you should know
39:56we won't be able to invest in the new centre.
39:58Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
40:00I'm guessing Nick was opposed.
40:02Yeah. Yeah, he was.
40:04But I agree with him.
40:06Investing that amount of money, it's got to be a joint decision.
40:08Don't just give up.
40:10Amy took some persuading to get on board.
40:12I don't think he'll change his mind.
40:14Why don't I have a word with him?
40:16I might be able to make him see
40:18that it's not just about money.
40:20It's about your happiness.
40:22Well, it's how I feel, genuinely.
40:26Do you think it's possible you've outgrown him?
40:28He obviously feels threatened by your success with us.
40:34I'm sorry. I've overstepped the mark.
40:36I apologise.
40:38No, no, he's just protective, that's all.
40:40And I quite like that.
40:42I mean, it can be a bit stifling sometimes.
40:44Someone ought to tug his lead.
40:46Make him see what he has to lose.
40:54Yeah.
40:56I've just arrived at the hospital now.
40:58No, I'm going to find a doctor.
41:00See if I can interview her.
41:04I know you're still angry with me.
41:06I can see that I will carry the shame of this.
41:10You're trying to wiggle your way out of it.
41:12But I don't believe you.
41:14No way.
41:16I can't go to prison.
41:20What good would that do for you or our baby?
41:28I know the police are on their way.
41:30When you talk to them,
41:34I want you to lie.
41:36What, I'm getting some more trouble?
41:38I want you to say it was Nathan Curtis who attacked you.
41:42Who's Nathan Curtis?
41:44He's already in prison for breaching his HPSO.
41:46They think he's responsible for your disappearance.
41:48Yeah, but he hadn't had anything to do with it, did he?
41:50Well, neither did Roy Cropper.
41:52But the police still charged him.
41:56So you tell the police
41:58you made a huge mistake
42:00and you've regretted it ever since
42:02and crucially,
42:04you do not want to take things any further.
42:08You might be able to lie through your teeth.
42:10Lauren, it gives me no pleasure saying this,
42:12but you have got no-one in this world
42:14looking out for you.
42:16Otherwise, you wouldn't be living in a squat
42:18not knowing when your next meal is.
42:22This isn't good for you or the baby.
42:26I want to help you.
42:30But I'm not going to.
42:32On your terms,
42:34you will be the one
42:36calling the shots.
42:40All you need to do
42:42is tell the police
42:44you started chatting on Ovid.
42:46He was one of your subscribers.
42:48You started meeting up
42:50and then things got messy.
42:54Lauren,
42:56you can still hate me,
42:58but why not do it from a nice,
43:00nice, flat,
43:02paid for, by me?
43:06Somewhere you and the baby
43:08will be safe.
43:12Oh, hi.
43:14I'm looking for Lauren Bolton.
43:16Is she still in?
43:20Okay, right.
43:22My name's Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain
43:24and I'm from Weatherfield Police Station.
43:26Am I okay to come in?
