00:23🎵
00:40Okay, so that's booked. You'll send me a confirmation email.
00:45Thank you. Have a nice day.
00:49Friday 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 a five grand deposit right now.
01:14You'll 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 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.
01:38In 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.
01:46I just, I want it to be personal too.
01:48You know, I want it to be special.
01:51It will be, I promise.
01:55Right, we'd better get a wriggle on.
01:56I told Bethany I'd meet her in a cafe later.
01:58You know, I'm not sure about encouraging her amateur detective thing, Joel.
02:02I want the police to find Lauren too, but, I don't know.
02:06Plus, we have got a whole list of jobs to start.
02:08I mean, it's not just the vows.
02:10There are guest lists, menus.
02:11You've got to try on some top hats.
02:13Right, well, first, I represented Nathan, the man who raped her,
02:17so I feel like I owe her.
02:18And 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.
02:33And that is exactly why I am marrying you,
02:36on 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.
02:44OK, well, I can give you a lift if you like.
02:47Thanks, but I'm just going to take the buddy.
02:49Oh, are you?
02:50Well, park the far side of the car park,
02:52because nobody likes parking near the scapes of Sting, woman.
02:55Thanks for the tip.
02:56You 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.
03:04Morning, boss.
03:06Oh, you're early today.
03:08Oh, Mum just dropped me off.
03:10Her idea, not mine.
03:11She likes an early start.
03:12So much to do.
03:13Missing girls.
03:14Assaulted local boys.
03:17There you go.
03:18Thanks.
03:19Do you mind if I have some brekkie in here before I come in to work?
03:22Yeah, go on then.
03:23Except I 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?
03:39Although 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.
03:49No, I just got my head too close to that eye-level grill and 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.
04:03And working helps take my mind off the other stuff.
04:06OK, well, whatever you want to do, then that's fine.
04:09That's what we'll do.
04:10Thanks.
04:11Well, I'll get back to the kitchen and you can carry on talking about me behind my back.
04:16At least she seems in good spirits.
04:18Fingers crossed.
04:20I'm going to make some phone call.
04:22Hi.
04:23Hi, how are things?
04:25Yeah, OK.
04:26I was just wondering if you'd spoken to Amy.
04:28I sent her some info on the business retreat but she's not gotten back to me.
04:32Oh, I think Amy might be cooling.
04:35Really?
04:36Yeah, I...
04:37No, it's my fault.
04:38I showed her Oliver's AI and I think it might have spooked her.
04:41You made it clear that's only one of our many techniques and opportunities we can offer.
04:45Well, I didn't really get the chance.
04:46She...
04:47She shut me down.
04:49Oh.
04:50I've always admired your tenacity.
04:52I'm surprised you gave up so easily.
04:54No, I've not given up.
04:55I 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?
05:05Yeah, please.
05:08Well, I thought your business study degree would have covered bookkeeping and accountancy.
05:14It does.
05:15But it's obviously not prepared me for my mother's unique attitude towards numbers.
05:18Well, I would offer to help but 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
05:35whilst 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?
05:59Of course.
06:00She might not be in Leicester.
06:02After risking going to see Roy at the hospital,
06:04she might have wanted to get as far away as she could.
06:06Or maybe she's feeling braver.
06:08Maybe she's closer than we think.
06:10Any joy?
06:12Not yet.
06:13Yeah, we'll keep going.
06:14Craig was in earlier.
06:16I pestered him to put a rocket under the bus.
06:18He said he'd be back in an hour.
06:20He said he'd be back in an hour.
06:21He said he'd be back in an hour.
06:22He said he'd be back in an hour.
06:24He said he'd be back in an hour.
06:25He said he'd be back in an hour.
06:26She was in earlier.
06:27I 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.
06:42Bye.
06:45Oh!
06:46How 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?
06:57Hey, something will come up.
06:59Will it?
07:01Yeah, 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 yet.
07:08I know.
07:10But we've got the kids and the school.
07:13Apple.
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?
07:24Even 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.
07:40Why did you...?
07:43Yes, yeah.
07:44Well, thank you for not doing anything.
07:46I hope you're this helpful when the police contact you.
07:49Whipping heck.
07:50I take it the search isn't going well.
07:52Oh, I didn't hear you come in.
07:54Yeah, it's one of my many hidden talents.
07:56I can be stealthy like a ninja when I want to be.
07:59Are you OK?
08:02I'm just frustrated.
08:05Well, let's hope the police are having more luck, eh?
08:09Anyway, how many people have you told?
08:12Told what?
08:14That we've set a date.
08:16That we've set a date?
08:17That we've got a venue for the wedding?
08:20Oh, I've not had time.
08:22Well, chop, chop, babe. Clock is ticking.
08:25Is that news?
08:29Work.
08:31I have to go.
08:33Are you sure you're happy?
08:35About setting a date, getting married?
08:40Of course. I'm sorry.
08:42There's just so much to do, and work, and Lauren.
08:46Look, you worry too much.
08:48Can you let the police do the job?
08:51You never know, they might have found her already.
08:56Once everything's sorted,
08:59then we can enjoy planning our wedding.
09:03I have to go.
09:04See you later.
09:12Bye.
09:27These are very neat, you know.
09:29Works all she's done all morning.
09:31And she's swinging the lead.
09:32And she doesn't take a blind bit of notice of what I have to say.
09:35Where is she now?
09:36I sent her down to pack in a bit.
09:39She's still trying to get her head around what's expected of her, you know, in a workplace.
09:44I thought maybe you could choose a different worker for her to shadow.
09:47But she's learning so much from you, Beth.
09:50Sorry 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.
10:17I need 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.
10:33Get on with your work.
10:37Hey, you just caught me.
10:39I'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.
10:47I'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.
10:54Well, 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 her weird day 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 anytime 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.
12:04Thinking about Lauren.
12:06Any news?
12:07Not heard anything, but everyone seems to be looking for her.
12:10Everyone?
12:12Yeah, well, Bethany and Joel were in the cafe earlier,
12:15and apparently Bethany thinks that Lauren's been using a credit card
12:18and living in Leicester.
12:19Leicester?
12:20Yeah.
12:21What do the police know about this?
12:23Well, I've chibbered Craig into making sure the police do everything they can
12:26to try and find her.
12:28Sounds quite promising.
12:30Sounds quite promising.
12:32Yeah, well, she can't hide away forever.
12:35She may have good reason for hiding.
12:39Has the doctor come to see you yet?
12:42Oh, 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
13:00with the cardiac rehab programme.
13:03He gave me the leaflet.
13:04Leaflet?
13:05Yeah, it's all the relevant information.
13:08Yeah.
13:09They like to hand out leaflets.
13:11Just as easily download that information.
13:14Oh, there's some medication.
13:17So can you come home, then?
13:19And that, that's the letter, discharge summary,
13:22that he sends to the GP.
13:24So can you come home?
13:26I 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
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.
13:59I'm saving your skin.
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.
14:08Really? 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?
14:18Oh, Bess, stop it.
14:20I'm sorry, but if she can just swan off whenever she feels like it,
14:23why can't the rest of us?
14:24Because I said so.
14:26She's playing you for a fool.
14:28Seriously?
14:29You seriously think I'd let a teenager walk all over me, hmm?
14:32Get back to work, Bess.
14:36SHE SIGHS
14:37When girls have responsibility,
14:39they put you on 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, innit?
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.
14:54Sorry 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
15:03to cancel her newspaper order.
15:07How does that help us?
15:09Because her and her family are having to move
15:11out 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
15:19and the landlord is apparently a sweetheart.
15:22How many bedrooms?
15:23Er, three 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.
15:29Yeah, 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.
15:35Er, I'm always happy to help.
15:40I'm just a bit gutted it's not closer.
15:43I don't like being away from my pa.
15:45If this doesn't work out, something else will turn up.
15:51Did you see her face when you showed her the picture of Lauren?
15:54Yeah, then she said she's not seen her.
15:57She could be trying to protect her.
15:59We need to be careful not to frighten her off, you know.
16:02I 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.
16:09Did I hear you mention a woman called Lauren?
16:11Er, yeah.
16:12Yeah, we're her friends.
16:14But we know she's scared, but we just want to find her and help her.
16:17I've seen her ear.
16:18Really?
16:21Obviously she can trust us.
16:22Maybe you can speak to her and tell her that Didi and Bethany just want to help her.
16:26Yeah, or if you know where she's living.
16:28I'm not sure I should say anything.
16:30Look, if she doesn't want to meet face to face, that's fine,
16:32but maybe you could get her to call us.
16:34We can give you our numbers.
16:36Please, we just want to help.
16:40There's a pub, King's Arms, about a mile from here.
16:43It's closed down and I know a few people are squatting there.
16:46She might be there.
16:47Thank you so much.
16:49You are her friends?
16:50Yeah, really 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?
17:12No, just going round in circles with these accounts.
17:15Like my mother if she was here, but she's not.
17:17And also Mary's not exactly good with numbers or reality.
17:20Well, I could always take a look if you want.
17:23I don't know.
17:25Listen, I'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.
17:34And 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.
17:40I didn't mean to suggest that you were weird.
17:44Well, anyway, I just wanted to say,
17:47don't let it put you off the Institute.
17:50They really can help you in so many ways,
17:52all tailored to our own individual needs.
17:55Like some better accountancy skills.
17:57Yeah, exactly.
17:59And I'd be happy to help.
18:03How much would it cost me?
18:05Well, make us a brew and we'll call it quits.
18:08Okay.
18:09Thanks.
18:10But please, do have a think.
18:13Long term, the Institute really can help you in loads of ways.
18:17I will.
18:18Promise.
18:22Hey, there we go.
18:25Uh, yeah, is that for table six?
18:28Yeah.
18:29I thought they ordered the whites on this here.
18:31No, it's red.
18:32You sure?
18:33Yes, of course I'm sure.
18:34Because, no, no, it was the white.
18:37Hey, it's okay.
18:38Look, don't worry.
18:39It's easily changed and, uh...
18:41No, woman, no.
18:44You sure you're okay?
18:45Yes.
18:47I'm sorry.
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.
18:58I've got this.
19:01Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
19:03It's all right.
19:04It's okay.
19:05I've got you.
19:10Uh, Roy?
19:12What are you doing?
19:14Oh, just making one or two adjustments to the staff filter.
19:18Right.
19:19And remind me what the doctor said to you again.
19:22Well, there is nothing stressful with a little light admin.
19:27And, you know, I'm happy to take my time to recuperate
19:30and ease myself into the more arduous aspects of cafe hospitality.
19:35Yeah, I should think so.
19:37You've only been back five minutes.
19:39Aye, well, the roads can wait.
19:44Yeah, well, anyways, it's just good to have you back home.
19:50Do you think it'd be all right to contact Deedee
19:53and see if there's been any progress in finding Lauren?
19:57Right, well, one text, no more than two sentences,
20:00and yes, you may use punctuation, but no emojis.
20:03Thank you very much.
20:11Alan?
20:13Oh, hi.
20:14Is everything all right?
20:15Um, I don't know, have you got a minute to talk?
20:22I just need some more money.
20:23I mean, you can afford it.
20:24What's the big deal?
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 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.
20:48I need to take this.
20:50Keep quiet, yeah?
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.
21:05Yeah, 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 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.
21:28I still think it'd be safer if you wait till I get there,
21:30it 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.
21:37All right, 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 going to get home?
22:02Get out!
22:26Is this about Betsy?
22:28Yeah.
22:30Thing is, it's not really working, her working at the factory.
22:34Right, what's she done now?
22:36Look, whatever it is, I'm sure we can sort it out.
22:39No, see, I've already cut her loads of slack
22:43and I've given her chance after chance,
22:45despite her not having any real experience.
22:48Yeah, I know, and I'm very grateful.
22:51Yeah, well, her way of thanking me is to take liberties
22:54and 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.
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.
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?
23:30Two is better than one.
23:31Yeah, thank you.
23:36It 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.
23:47I wouldn't even give it a one-star review.
23:50A zero, if I could.
23:52Is there a problem, Nina?
23:54No, I can manage.
23:56As long as this man pays for his food.
23:58You go upstairs and rest.
24:00It was rank.
24:02I recall you.
24:05You come to ogle at me again.
24:08Whisper about what a weirdo I am.
24:11Hey, is 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 were 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, Lauren has been confirmed alive.
24:37Something I'm sure you'll find out.
24:40I also hope that you find the self-awareness that 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, has been described as a mini-kew,
25:07which is the Royal Botanic Gardens.
25:09No need to mansplain, Brian.
25:11I know what the kew is.
25:13I've heard Granny Linda banging on about it.
25:15She's a woman with fine taste.
25:18Well, if this comes off, you can come round,
25:20you can tan yourself in the weather kew whenever you want.
25:23Why, thank you, Gemma.
25:25It's tragic that good people like you can't find a decent place to live,
25:29so I'm happy to help.
25:31Not all heroes wear keepsie.
25:33You know, I've always felt I'd look great in a cowl.
25:36Oh, is he here?
25:40Ah, no joy.
25:42I didn't even get a chance to see it.
25:44I opened up and there was a massive kew round the corner.
25:46No way.
25:47I stood there for a bit and the kew died down,
25:50but the estate agent came out and just said the house had gone.
25:53So quick.
25:55Thanks for the tip-off, though, Brian.
25:57I'm just sorry I didn't bear fruit.
25:59I'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.
26:09Ah, hi, Nina.
26:11How's Rory doing?
26:12He's OK. It's on the mend, but I'm still worried about him.
26:15I'm not sure how much rest he's going to get in a year.
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. You deserve a much bigger reward.
26:30Oh, skinny milk?
26:31Of course. I 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 B-stroke 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.
27:24Oh, 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.
28:08Can't we get in?
28:17Look, let's not scare her off by knocking again.
28:19He 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.
28:34Hi, Jo. Yeah, I think we found her at this pub.
28:37I'm almost there.
28:38OK, see you when you get there. Bye.
28:42Bethany! Bethany, wait!
28:52Is Lauren here?
28:54Yeah. Give cheers, mister.
28:57Looks like she's done another runner.
29:08Oh!
29:14I will scream if you come 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.
29:21Get 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 mam. It's not OK.
29:36If you're going on, I may 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?
29:53PHONE RINGS
29:55It's Wayne.
29:59You kidding?
30:01Right, no, 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?
30:21Come on, let's talk.
30:25Leave me alone.
30:26How many times do I need to tell you I care about you and the baby?
30:30I keep quiet about everything and I promise I'll make it worth your while.
30:33Hey, you found her!
30:35She hadn't gotten far.
30:36She was hanging around here, then she fainted.
30:39Are you all right?
30:41Fell over the shore, babe?
30:43Dizzy.
30:44But then my legs went from underneath me.
30:46I hope the baby's OK.
30:49So do I.
30:51I wish you would just stop running away like this.
30:55I thought you hated me.
30:57I thought you hated me.
31:00Look, Lauren, we just...
31:02We want to understand what's happened that's made you run away all this time.
31:11I'm scared.
31:18I think we need to get you to an hospital. Come on.
31:22Come on.
31:23Let's get her in the car.
31:27Come on.
31:38Betsy, you! Blackmailing me.
31:40It's got to stop.
31:42Can I plug this in?
31:43Oh, yeah, what's the free bit of lecky, you know,
31:45when you've got me over a barrel anyway?
31:47You might need to think carefully before getting rid of me.
31:52You know what?
31:54No, you can't borrow this.
31:56Take your charger and your phone and shove it!
32:02I'm going to go and tell the police.
32:04And I don't care how much trouble I get in.
32:06I'm not being blackmailed by a kid like you.
32:08I was winding you up. I'm not a grass.
32:11Daddy didn't deserve what you did to him.
32:13I saw what you did to your friend, Roy.
32:15You were just playing games with me.
32:17No, I admit it. I went too far with the blackmailing.
32:20Oh, finally, some accountability.
32:23Betsy, what you did was stupid.
32:25I know it was. I do stupid things when I'm back into a corner.
32:28Life's been rubbish for me lately,
32:30and this job is the first thing I've had in ages to look forward to.
32:34Let me guess, you've got other priorities.
32:36Not everything revolves around you, you know.
32:40Actually, I do have to deal with something.
32:43But, look, Betsy...
32:46..I will think about keeping you on.
32:48Yeah, if...
32:50..you'd smooth things over with your mum.
32:52Just talk to her.
32:54She was out of her mind with Rory just then.
32:59Go on.
33:01Thanks, Carla.
33:09I really hope we get to the bottom of all this.
33:12We will. Unless she does another runner.
33:15Yeah, she looked to be in a very good way, did she?
33:20Hi.
33:22Happy to report that Lauren and the baby are fine.
33:25Her fainting isn't uncommon in pregnancy,
33:27but especially 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.
33:45I think I might wait till we can see her.
33:47Yeah. 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 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.
34:08Yeah, but you're not fit to work.
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? It'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?
34:31Rory wants me to invest in a new resource centre.
34:34Oh! What, invest as in coffered 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, over my dead body.
34:48You're not doing that without my permission.
34:50No, that's what I want to talk to you about.
34:52There's other things to worry about. Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:55Come on, we should be focusing on her.
34:59Yeah, 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 about the institute all the time.
35:08Yeah. You know, we shouldn't be thinking about new business, all right?
35:12Yeah, OK.
35:14OK, well, I'll tell Rowan, then.
35:18What kind of man needs 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 Lauren's there.
35:39Morning, me. Morning, Carla.
35:42I take it you've heard about Lauren? I have, yeah.
35:45Yeah, that's where he's going now. What?
35:47No, you've got to stay away from her.
35:49Yeah, 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.
36:12How do 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 for a bit
36:21in her new place in Manchester.
36:23If 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.
36:34But he's the only one of the kids that she's interested in.
36:37I don't want to split the family up, even if it's just for a few weeks.
36:40Well, neither do I. But we might have no other option.
36:44We're a family! We stay together.
37:03What are you doing?
37:05What are you doing?
37:07Oh, just slaving away, as per.
37:09Oh, you don't strike me as the diligent type.
37:12Oh, it's overtime, babes.
37:15Why'd you try and hide it when I came in?
37:17Well, like a T-shirt, not knickers.
37:20You want to get your eyesight checked. You're seeing things.
37:24Are you making counterfeit gear?
37:28No!
37:30You're defo up to something.
37:36Most people complain about the food in here.
37:39I could see someone's enjoying it.
37:41I'm starving.
37:43Are you eating properly?
37:45Pregnant women need to look after their blood sugar.
37:48What, even skimp pregnant women?
37:55Life's not great at the minute.
37:57I keep having to move.
37:59I keep having to move.
38:04From the minute I found out I was pregnant,
38:07I knew I had to give this baby a life I never had.
38:12Protect him.
38:14Is he having a boy?
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.
38:54Please don't press that.
38:58What 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?
39:17Course. Red wine, is it?
39:19No, no, I think I might push the boat out
39:22and have a dirty martini, if they've got any olives.
39:25I think Daisy gets them in.
39:27I think I might have a clean pint of lager.
39:32Welcome to the Institute.
39:34Thank you.
39:35This is why you're having a celebration drink.
39:37You are going to get so much out of this.
39:39It was my mum wanting me to run the shop that really clinched it.
39:41I wanted to do great.
39:42This gives me loads of contacts.
39:44Well, Leanne is going to give you the course details.
39:47I need to run.
39:49Thanks, Rowan.
39:50I just need to have a quick word with him before he goes.
39:53Go on, Rowan.
39:55I just thought you should know
39:57we won't be able to invest in the new centre.
39:59Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
40:01I'm guessing Nick was opposed.
40:04Yeah, yeah, he was, but I agree with him.
40:07Investing that amount of money, it's got to be a joint decision.
40:10Don't just give up.
40:12Amy took some persuading to get on board.
40:15I don't think he'll change his mind.
40:17Why don't I have a word with him?
40:19I might be able to make him see that it's not just about money,
40:22it's about your happiness.
40:24Well, it's how I feel, genuinely.
40:29Do you think it's possible you've outgrown him?
40:31He obviously feels threatened by your success with us.
40:36I'm sorry, I've overstepped the mark. I apologise.
40:39No, no, he's just protective, that's all, and I quite like that.
40:43I mean, it can be a bit stifling sometimes.
40:45Someone ought to tug his lead, make him see what he has to lose.
40:53Yeah, I'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 of this.
41:08You're trying to wiggle your way out of it.
41:11But I don't believe you. No way.
41:14I can't go to prison.
41:16What good would that do for you or our baby?
41:25I know the police are on their way.
41:27When you talk to them...
41:30..I want you to lie.
41:34What, I'm getting some more trouble?
41:36I want you to say it was Nathan Curtis who attacked you.
41:40It was Nathan Curtis?
41:41He's already in prison for breaching his HPSO.
41:43They think he's responsible for your disappearance.
41:46Yeah, but he hadn't had to do with it, did he?
41:48Well, neither did Roy Cropper.
41:50But the police still charged him.
41:53So you tell the police you made a huge mistake
41:57and you've regretted it ever since,
41:59and, crucially, you do not want to take things personally.
42:03You don't want to take things personally.
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,
42:18otherwise you wouldn't be living in a squat
42:20not knowing when your next meal is.
42:25This isn't good for you or the baby.
42:29I want to help you.
42:31On your terms,
42:33you will be the one calling the shots.
42:40All you need to do is tell the police you started chatting on Ovid.
42:45He was one of your subscribers.
42:47You started meeting up, and then things got messy.
42:53Lauren, you can still hate me,
42:56but why not do it from a nice, warm place?
43:01A nice, flat, paid for by me.
