00:00["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:30["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:40Okay, so that's booked.
00:41You'll send me a confirmation e-mail?
00:44Thank you. Have a nice day.
00:48Friday the 27th?
00:50Friday the 27th, yeah.
00:52Shame we can't get a Saturday.
00:54Oh! Yeah, but people can turn it into a long weekend, can't they?
00:58Good thought.
01:00But still, Friday 27th September sounds like a good day to get married.
01:05Hey, your divorce will have gone through by then.
01:07Absolutely.
01:08Are you sure?
01:09I'm so sure I'm going to transfer the five grand deposit right now.
01:14You'll split the costs, yeah?
01:16Well, I don't want your dad to feel bad.
01:17All he wants is for me to be happy.
01:20Well, 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 the 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.
01:53Right, we'd better get a wriggle on. I told Bethany I'm meeting her in the cafe later.
01:56You know, I'm not sure about encouraging her amateur detective thing, Joel.
02:00I want the police to find Lauren too, but, I don't know.
02:04Plus, we have got a whole list of jobs to start.
02:06I mean, it's not just the vows, there are guest lists, menus, you've got to try on some top hats.
02:11Right, well, first, I represented Nathan the man who raped her, so I feel like I owe her.
02:15And second, me in a top hat.
02:19You're just doing your job.
02:20I love that you care about people.
02:23And if we find her, that absolutely nails Roy's innocence.
02:26You're a good man.
02:28I try.
02:30And that is exactly why I am marrying you, on Friday the 27th of September.
02:35Why don't you put that in your vows?
02:38Yeah, I'm going to the hospital in a bit to pick him up.
02:41Okay, well, I can give you a lift if you like.
02:43Oh, thanks, but I'm just going to take the whole day.
02:45Oh, are you?
02:46Well, park the far side of the car park, because nobody likes parking near the scapes of Sting, woman.
02:50Oh, thanks for the tip.
02:52You know, I just still can't get my head around how she could put Roy through this.
02:55I mean, how can she be so selfish?
02:57Don't get me started.
03:00Morning, boss.
03:02Oh, you're early today.
03:04Oh, Mum just dropped me off.
03:05Her idea, not mine.
03:06She likes an early start, so much to do.
03:08Missing girls, assaulted local boys.
03:11There you go.
03:12Thanks.
03:13Do you mind if I have some brekkie in here before I come in to work?
03:16Aye, yeah, go on then.
03:17Except I have no money.
03:25Nina, tell Roy I'll see him later.
03:28There you go.
03:29So, has she said anything to you?
03:32No, she seems to be coping all right, doesn't she?
03:34Although I'm not sure if she needs to be in today.
03:36I don't know.
03:37No, she seems to be coping all right, doesn't she?
03:39Although I'm not sure if she needs to be in today.
03:41Well, maybe she just wants to keep busy.
03:45Oh, my ears are burning.
03:47Yeah, because we're talking about you.
03:48No, I just got my head too close to that eye-level grill and they're really warm.
03:52At 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.
03:58What I want is for you both to stop treating me with kid gloves, OK?
04:01I'm fine.
04:02And working helps take my mind off the other stuff.
04:05OK, well, whatever you want to do, then that's what we'll do.
04:08Thanks.
04:09Well, I'll get back to the kitchen and 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.
04:22Hi, 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 but she's not gotten back to me.
04:30Oh, I think Amy might be cooling.
04:33Really?
04:34Yeah.
04:35I... Well, it's my fault.
04:37I showed her Oliver's AI and I think it might have spooked her.
04:40You made it clear that's only one of our many techniques and opportunities we can offer.
04:44Well, I didn't really get the chance.
04:46She... She shut me down.
04:48Oh.
04:49I've always admired your tenacity.
04:51I'm surprised you gave up so easily.
04:53No, I've not given up.
04:54I will speak to her.
04:55It'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.
05:03Coffee?
05:04Yeah, please.
05:08Well, I thought your business study degree would have covered bookkeeping and accountancy.
05:13It does.
05:14But it's obviously not prepared me for my mother's unique attitude towards numbers.
05:17Well, I would offer to help but I've never been very good with numbers.
05:21You know, I prefer the more creative side of life.
05:25Numbers are so cold, soulless.
05:28You know, I prefer the soft, the tender, the warm.
05:32How about you take your soft soul over to the shop whilst I try and make sense of these books?
05:37Good idea.
05:38Let's play to our strengths.
05:41I'm looking for patterns but I can't see anything.
05:44Hmm.
05:45Leicester's a big place when you're looking for one person.
05:48She was using your credit card details.
05:50She must have known one day someone would try and trace her movement.
05:54Well, yeah, but the card's been stopped.
05:56So how has she been living?
05:57How has she bought food?
06:03Phew.
06:08Of course, she might not be in Leicester.
06:11After risking going to see Roy at the hospital, she might have wanted to get as far away as she could.
06:16Or maybe she's feeling braver.
06:18Maybe she's closer than we think.
06:20Any joy?
06:22Not yet.
06:23Yeah, we'll keep going.
06:24Craig was in earlier.
06:26I passed him to put a rocket under the police search.
06:28I mean, the more people are looking for her, the sooner we'll find her.
06:31And that way, we'll know exactly why she 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?
06:56Hey, something will come up.
06:59Will it?
07:00Yeah, I spoke to Billy.
07:02He said that the council will put us on a waiting list,
07:04and we'll be entitled to emergency housing in the meantime.
07:07So we're not going to go homeless, Gem.
07:08I know.
07:10But we've got the kids and the school.
07:12Apple.
07:14We don't need this.
07:17I 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?
07:23Even if we end up living in a cardboard box outside, I'd rather be doing it with you.
07:31Have you checked the photo?
07:34No, she's probably using a false name.
07:36Why did you...?
07:39Yes, yeah.
07:41Well, thank you for not doing anything.
07:43I hope you're this helpful when the police contact you.
07:47Whippy neck.
07:49Take it the search ain't going well.
07:51Oh, I didn't hear you come in.
07:53It's one of my many hidden talents.
07:55I can be stealthy like a ninja when I want to be.
07:57You OK?
08:00I'm just frustrated.
08:03Well, let's hope the police are having more luck, eh?
08:07Anyway, how many people have you told?
08:10Told what?
08:12That we've set a date.
08:13That we've got a venue for the wedding.
08:16Oh, I've not had time.
08:18Well, chop-chop, babe. Clock is ticking.
08:21Is that news?
08:23Yeah.
08:24What are you doing?
08:26Is that news?
08:29Work.
08:31I have to go.
08:33Are 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.
08:49Can you let the police do the job?
08:51You never know, they might have found her already.
08:55Once everything's sorted,
08:59then we can enjoy planning our wedding.
09:03I have to go.
09:04See you later.
09:25These are very neat, you know.
09:27Well, it's all she's done all morning.
09:29And she's swinging the lead.
09:31And she doesn't take a blind bit of notice of what I have to say.
09:34Where is she now?
09:35I sent her down to pack in.
09:38Well, she's still trying to get her head round what's expected of her, you know, in the workplace.
09:42Hmm.
09:43I thought maybe you could choose a different worker for her to shadow.
09:46But she's learning so much from you, Beth.
09:50Sorry to interrupt, but Betsy has a request.
09:52What request?
09:53I need to leave early for lunch.
09:54We have dinner at one.
09:56That's what I said, but it's an emergency.
09:58What's the emergency?
09:59I spilt some water on my phone and it keeps running out of charge.
10:02I need a new one.
10:03Your phone is not an emergency.
10:05What if I need to phone my mum?
10:07What if I have something really important to talk to her about?
10:11OK, well, you can go half an hour early and come back half an hour early.
10:15OK.
10:16I need a toilet break.
10:19Does that mean I can go for my dinner, is it?
10:21No, it doesn't.
10:23So it's one rule for her and another for the rest of us.
10:26Get over yourself, Beth.
10:27She's work experience.
10:29Cut her some slack.
10:30Get on with your work.
10:35Hey.
10:36You just caught me.
10:37I'm actually heading out.
10:38Oh, yeah.
10:39Joel mentioned you've not had much luck tracking down Lauren.
10:42No, but I'm going to head over to Leicester.
10:45But 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.
10:50I 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,
11:19but I just assumed that 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.
12:08Any news?
12:10Not heard anything, but everyone seems to be looking for her.
12:13Everyone?
12:14Yeah, well, Bethany and Joel were in the cafe earlier,
12:17and apparently Bethany thinks that Lauren's been using a credit card and living in Leicester.
12:21Leicester?
12:22Yeah.
12:23What do the police know about this?
12:25Well, I've chibbered Craig into making sure the police do everything they can to try and find her.
12:30Sounds quite promising.
12:32Yeah, well, she can't hide away forever.
12:35She 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, all 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.
13:02He gave me the leaflet.
13:04Leaflet?
13:05It's all the relevant information.
13:07Yeah.
13:08They like to hand out leaflets.
13:10He just as easily downloads that information.
13:13Oh, and there's some medication.
13:16So can you come home then?
13:18And that, that's the letter of discharge summary that he sends to the GP.
13:24So can you come home?
13:26I believe so, yes.
13:27Right, well, do you want me to help you get dressed then?
13:30I don't think so.
13:32Right, well, I'll pull the curtain back and I'll let you get yourself sorted out.
13:39Erm, gentle word of warning.
13:43You do not swim around here calling the shots to me.
13:46Word is, Travis is making a good recovery.
13:48But his mum's still fuming, pestering the police to find the vicious thug who assaulted us.
13:53I feel terrible about what happened.
13:54It didn't just happen. You whacked him with a car door.
13:57Oh, now you're exaggerating.
13:58I'm saving your skin.
14:00Buy 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.
14:14What's another 20 minutes between friends?
14:16Is she going to dinner?
14:18Oh, Bess, stop it.
14:19I'm sorry, but if she can just swan off whenever she feels like it, why can't the rest of us?
14:24Because I said so.
14:26She's playing you for a fool.
14:27Seriously?
14:28You seriously think I'd let a teenager walk all over me, hmm?
14:31Get back to work, Bess.
14:37Kills love responsibility.
14:38They'll put you on a waiting list for temporary accommodation.
14:40And if that doesn't come through in time, you're entitled to emergency housing.
14:44Yeah, that's what Billy said, isn't it?
14:46Yes, it's true.
14:48I mean, I've been looking at flats and houses every chance I get,
14:51but there's nothing out there we can afford. It's ridiculous.
14:54Sorry 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 to cancel her newspaper order.
15:07How does that help us?
15:08Because her and her family are having to move out of their rented accommodation on Balaclava Terrace.
15:14Her husband's got a job in Newcastle.
15:16She's reluctant to move because the rent's so low and the landlord is apparently a sweetheart.
15:22How many bedrooms?
15:23Three and a box room and a small garden.
15:25That could be perfect.
15:26I could call and find out the name of the landlord, if you like.
15:28Yeah, can you?
15:29Oh, please.
15:30After lunch?
15:31I'll do it now and I'll buy you a pint to go with that.
15:34Er, I'm always happy to help.
15:40I'm just a bit gutted it's not closer.
15:42I don't mind being away for my fall.
15:45If this doesn't work out, something else will turn up.
15:50Did 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 her.
15:58We need to be careful not to frighten her off, you know.
16:01I do think we're close.
16:02Yeah, me too.
16:03And I think you're right, I think she's around here somewhere.
16:06Excuse me.
16:08Did I hear you mention a woman called Lauren?
16:10Er, 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.
16:21Maybe 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.
16:31But maybe you could get her to call us.
16:33We 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.
16:52Can'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.
17:47It really can help you in so many ways.
17:49All tailored to our own individual needs.
17:53Like some better accountancy skills.
17:55Yeah, exactly.
17:57And I'd be happy to help.
18:01How much would it cost me?
18:03Well, make us a brew and we'll call it quits.
18:06Okay.
18:07Thanks.
18:08But please, do have a think.
18:10Long term the Institute really can help you in loads of ways.
18:14I will.
18:15Thanks.
18:16I will.
18:17Promise.
18:21Hey, there we go.
18:25Yeah, is that for table six?
18:27Yeah.
18:28I thought they ordered the whites on this here.
18:30No, it's red.
18:31You sure?
18:32Yes, of course I'm sure.
18:33Because, no, no, it was the white.
18:36Hey, it's okay.
18:37Look, don't worry.
18:38It's easily changed and...
18:40There, no woman, no.
18:43Are you sure you're okay?
18:44Yes.
18:46I'm sorry.
18:48I worry about you.
18:49Well, don't.
18:50Okay?
18:51Not until we know for sure that there is something to worry about.
18:55Right, look, do you want me to take it over?
18:56It's good.
18:57I've got this.
19:00Ah.
19:01Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
19:02It's all right.
19:03It's okay.
19:04I've got you.
19:09Er, Roy?
19:11What you doing?
19:12Oh, just making one or two adjustments to the staff router.
19:16Right.
19:17And remember what the doctor said to you again?
19:20Well, there is nothing stressful with a little light admin.
19:25And, you know, I'm happy to take my time to recuperate
19:28and ease myself into the more arduous aspects of cafe hospitality.
19:33Yeah, I should think so.
19:35You've only been back five minutes.
19:37Aye, well, the router can wait.
19:41Yeah, well, anyways, it's just good to have you back home.
19:47Do you think it'd be all right to contact Dee Dee
19:50and see if there's been any progress in finding Lauren?
19:54Right, well, one text, no more than two sentences,
19:57and yes, you may use punctuation, but no emojis.
20:00Thank you very much.
20:02Alan?
20:04Oh, hi.
20:05Is everything all right?
20:07Erm, I don't know, have you got a minute to talk?
20:13I just need some more money.
20:14I mean, you can afford it.
20:15What's the big deal?
20:20You think money grows on trees?
20:23I don't think so.
20:24I mean, you can afford it.
20:25I mean, you can afford it.
20:26What's the big deal?
20:28You think money grows on trees?
20:31Some of us have to work to earn money.
20:34Why is this such a problem for you?
20:36Look at your car, your suit.
20:38You buy a million phones.
20:40And I need a new one.
20:42You know what it's like, people can't live without a phone.
20:47I need to take this.
20:49Keep quiet, yeah?
20:57Hey, I just got your messages.
20:58I was about to call you.
21:00I think we might have found her.
21:03Really?
21:04That's great.
21:05And you'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 spot there.
21:21I could be there in half an hour.
21:22Why don't you wait and we'll check it out together?
21:24I'm not alone.
21:25Don't worry, Bethany's here.
21:27I still think it'd be safer if you wait till I get there.
21:29It could be dangerous.
21:31Maybe you could get a coffee.
21:32I won't be long.
21:33No, Joel.
21:34I don't want to risk her getting wind and moving on.
21:36All right, speak to you soon.
21:37Bye.
21:43Can I speak now?
21:45Out.
21:46Now.
21:47What?
21:49Get out of the car.
21:50You don't need to be like that.
21:51It's only a few quid to you.
21:53Just get out and close the door.
21:55You can't leave me.
21:56I don't know where I am.
21:57You drove.
21:58How am I going to get home?
21:59Get out!
22:21Is this about Betsy?
22:23Yeah.
22:26Thing is, it's not really working, her working at the factory.
22:30Right.
22:31What's she done now?
22:32Look, whatever it is, I'm sure we can sort it out.
22:35No.
22:36See, like, I've already cut her loads of slack
22:39and I've given her chance after chance,
22:41despite her not having any real experience.
22:44Yeah, I know, and I'm very grateful.
22:46Yeah, well, her way of thanking me
22:48is to take liberties and to threaten me.
22:52You see, she's not even there now.
22:54She's not even working.
22:55What?
22:56This is what I came to tell you.
22:57See, she's...
22:58She's actually...
22:59Sorry, just two secs.
23:02This is her now.
23:04Betsy?
23:06What are you...?
23:09Where are you?
23:11Say that again.
23:13Where are you?
23:14Say that again.
23:17Stay where you are.
23:19What is it?
23:21I think she said Gable Street.
23:22What's she doing there? That's dangerous.
23:24Full of scumbags.
23:25I'm going to have to drive over and find her.
23:27OK, do you want me to help?
23:28Two is better than one.
23:30Yeah, thank you.
23:35It was disgusting.
23:37Thank you, sir.
23:38And I'm not paying for it.
23:39If there was something wrong, you should have said before you ate it.
23:42You wolfed it down.
23:43I was hungry.
23:44And the portion was stingy.
23:46I wouldn't even give it a one-star review.
23:49A zero, if I could.
23:51Is there a problem, Nina?
23:53No, I can manage.
23:54As long as this man pays for his food.
23:57You go upstairs and rest.
23:59It was rank.
24:01I recall you.
24:04You come to Ogle at me again.
24:07Whisper about what a weirdo I am.
24:10Hey, is he one of them web-sleuths from before?
24:13You look just as weird as him.
24:16A pair of weirdos.
24:18I bet you're in it together.
24:21Protecting his dirty secrets.
24:24Ah, no, no.
24:25By all means, direct your vitriol at me.
24:28Leave my niece out of this.
24:30But, by the way,
24:32Lauren has been confirmed alive.
24:36Something I'm sure you'll find out.
24:37And I also hope
24:39that you find the self-awareness that you currently lack
24:43and realise the negative effects of your actions.
24:46Now,
24:49go away.
24:57This place sounds whelming.
25:00The garden, although small,
25:02has been described as a mini-cube,
25:04which is the raw material.
25:05Described as a mini-cube,
25:06which is the raw botanic gardens.
25:09No need to mansplain, Brian.
25:10I know what the cube is.
25:12Other granny will end up banging on about it.
25:14A woman with fine taste?
25:17Well, if this comes off,
25:18you can come round,
25:19you can tan yourself in the weather cube whenever you want.
25:22Why, thank you, Gemma.
25:24It's tragic that good people like you
25:26can't find a decent place to live,
25:28so I'm happy to help.
25:30Not all heroes wear keepsie.
25:32You know, I've always felt I'd look great in a cowl.
25:36Oh, is he here?
25:39Ah, 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.
25:46I 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 if we don't? We're going to get evicted in a month.
26:08Ah, hi, Nina.
26:10How's Rory doing?
26:11He's OK. It's on the men.
26:13I'm still worried about him.
26:15I'm not sure how much rest he's going to get in here.
26:17Well, maybe he needs to go away for a bit.
26:19When I went on the retreat with the Institute,
26:21it 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. Help 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.
27:39Someone asking for you.
27:42Who is it?
27:43I don't know. I don't care. Go and see for yourself.
27:59Hi.
28:07How are you doing?
28:16Look, let's not scare her off by knocking again.
28:18He said he's gone 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.
28:29Oh.
28:33Hi, Joel. Yeah, I think we found her at this pub.
28:36I'm almost there.
28:37OK, see you when you get there. Bye.
28:41Bethany! Bethany, wait!
28:51Is Lauren here?
28:53Yeah. You've just missed her.
28:57Looks like she's done another runner.
29:13I will scream if you come anywhere near me.
29:16I'm trying to help you. You don't have to hide from me.
29:18Stay away from me.
29:19Let's get in the car.
29:20Can we? Get off me.
29:22I'm just trying to help you. You need me.
29:24Oh, God. 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 mam. 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?
29:42It'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?
29:49PHONE 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 sacked?
30:19SHE SIGHS
30:21Come on, let's talk.
30:24Leave me alone.
30:25How many times do I need to tell you I care about you and the baby?
30:30Keep quiet about everything and I promise I'll make it worth your while.
30:33Hey, you found her.
30:35She hadn't gotten far. She was hanging around here, then she fainted.
30:39Are you all right?
30:41Fell over the shore today.
30:43Dizzy.
30:44But then my legs went from underneath me.
30:47I hope the baby's OK.
30:49It's all right.
30:52I wish you would just stop running away like this.
30:56I thought you hated me.
30:59Look, Lauren, we just...
31:02We want to understand what's happened that's made you run away all this time.
31:11I'm scared.
31:17Right, I think we need to get you to a hospital. Come on.
31:21Come on.
31:22Let's get her in the car.
31:36Betsy, you! Blackmailing me.
31:39It's got to stop.
31:40Can I plug this in?
31:41Oh, yeah, what's the free bit of lecky, you know?
31:43When 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.
32:10Daddy, you deserve what you did to him.
32:13I saw what you did to your friend, Roy.
32:15Are you 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.
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 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...
32:45I will think about keeping you on.
32:48Yeah, if...
32:50You'd smooth things over with your mum. Just talk to her.
32:53She was out of her mind with worry just then.
32:59Go on.
33:01Thanks, Carla.
33:09I really hope we get to the bottom of all this.
33:11We will.
33:13Unless she does another runner.
33:15Yeah, she looked to be in a very good way, didn't she?
33:20Hi.
33:21Happy 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?
33:39She's just had an ultrasound, but I'll let you know when you can go in.
33:42So...
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.
33:54See you later.
33:55I'm going to give Roy an update and I'll...
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.
34:09Hi.
34:10I've got some really exciting news.
34:14Everything OK?
34:15Oh, he's trying to make me have the day off work.
34:18Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:20Really?
34:21It's no big deal, OK? He's being overcautious.
34:23Anyway, you said you had some exciting news?
34:26Oh, he can wait.
34:28No, I'm OK. Honestly, what's the news?
34:31Rowan wants me to invest in a new resource centre.
34:34Oh.
34:35What, invest as in coffer money?
34:38It's a really exciting opportunity.
34:40And the centres don't lose money. I'd get a share of the profits.
34:43So I've already rang the bank manager and asked him about remortgaging...
34:46Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:48Over my dead body. You're not doing that without my permission.
34:50No, that's what I want to talk to you about.
34:52No, no, there's other things to worry about.
34:54Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:56Come on, we should be focusing on her.
34:59Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm being really selfish. I'm sorry.
35:03Is there anything I can get you, Taya?
35:05I'd feel a lot better if you weren't banging on about the Institute all the time.
35:08Yeah. You know, we shouldn't be thinking about new business, all right?
35:13Yeah, OK. Well, I'll tell Rowan, then.
35:18What kind of man leaves a vulnerable girl in the middle of nowhere in a dodgy area?
35:22A creep, that's who.
35:32Hey, I need to speak to you about something.
35:34Roy, where are you going?
35:36Warrington Hospital. Dee Dee tells me that Lorna's there.
35:39Morning, me.
35:40Hi, Carla.
35:42I take it you've heard about Lorraine.
35:44I have, yeah.
35:45Yeah, that's where he's going now.
35:46What? No, you've got to stay away from her.
35:48Yeah, she's right. You need to take things slowly.
35:51Anyway, I've spoken to Kathy and she's invited you to stay in Scarborough.
35:56And, you know, I think it'll be good, a change of scenery.
35:59Gives 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.
36:09We can't have the kids living somewhere that's not safe.
36:12Our houses get damp and mouldy.
36:14It's like living in Victorian times.
36:18Anyway, I've spoken to Linda and she said that Joseph can live with her forever
36:21in her new place in Manchester.
36:23If need be, he can still go to Oak Hill.
36:27Gemma, it isn't me picking him over the others.
36:30It just might speed things up.
36:31If 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.
36:42But we might have no other option.
36:44We're a family!
36:46We stay together.
37:01What are you doing?
37:03Oh, just slaving away, as per.
37:05Oh, you don't strike me as the diligent type.
37:08Oh, it's over time, 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.
37:17You're seeing things.
37:19Are you making counterfeit gear?
37:23No!
37:25Your deaf are up to something.
37:33Most people complain about the food in here.
37:35I could see someone's enjoying it.
37:37I'm starving.
37:39Are you eating properly?
37:41Pregnant women need to look after their blood sugar.
37:44What, even skimp pregnant women?
37:47Life's not great at the minute.
37:49I keep having to move.
37:54From the minute I found out I was pregnant,
37:57I knew I had to give this baby a life I never had.
38:02Protect him.
38:04Is he having a boy?
38:06I just hope it's a boy.
38:08I don't know.
38:10I don't know.
38:12I don't know.
38:14I don't know.
38:16I just hope it's a boy.
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.
38:47SHE SIGHS
38:53Please don't press that.
38:56What the hell are you doing here?
39:00No Beth?
39:02I did text her. She says she's volunteering in a soup kitchen.
39:05That's not like Beth.
39:07Oh, yeah. She cares deeply about people who are less fortunate than her.
39:10She says she might climb out Kilimanjaro next year.
39:13Do you mind if I join you?
39:15Of course. Red wine, is it?
39:17No, no, I think I might push the boat out
39:20and have a dirty martini, if they've got any olives.
39:23I think Daisy gets them in.
39:25I think I might have a clean pint of lager.
39:30Welcome to the Institute.
39:32Thank you.
39:33Ah, this is why you're having a celebration drink.
39:35You are going to get so much out of this.
39:37It was my mum wanting me to run the shop that really clinched it.
39:39I want it to do great. This gives me loads of contacts.
39:43Well, Leanne is going to give you the course details.
39:45I need to run.
39:47Thanks, Rowan.
39:49I just need to have a quick word with him before he goes.
39:51Er, Rowan?
39:53I just thought you should know
39:55we won't be able to invest in the new centre.
39:57Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
39:59I'm guessing Nick was opposed.
40:02Yeah, yeah, he was, but I agree with him.
40:05Investing 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.
40:15Why 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, I've overstepped the mark. I apologise.
40:37No, no, he's just protective, that's all, and I 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.
40:55I've just arrived at the hospital now.
40:57No, I'm going to find a doctor.
40:59See if I can interview her.
41:03I know you're still angry with me.
41:05I can see that I will carry the shame of this.
41:09You're trying to wiggle your way out of it.
41:11But I don't believe you.
41:13No way.
41:15I can't go to prison.
41:19What good would that do for you or our baby?
41:28I know the police are on their way.
41:30When you talk to them...
41:32When you talk to them...
41:35..I 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.
41:46It 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?
41:55Neither did Roy Cropper.
41:57But the police still charged him.
42:00So you tell the police you made a huge mistake
42:04and you've regretted it ever since.
42:06And crucially, you do not want to take things any further.
42:11You might be able to lie through your teeth.
42:13Lauren, it gives me no pleasure saying this,
42:15but you have got no-one in this world looking out for you,
