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