00:00♪
00:26What are you doing?
00:28Oh, nothing.
00:30I just needed some air.
00:32Are you going to talk to Kirk?
00:34It's the least you could do after ignoring all of his text messages.
00:39There's no point.
00:42It'll only make today harder.
00:44He deserves better than this.
00:46We all do, Mum.
00:58Is that Rowan?
01:10No, it's just somebody cancelling lunch.
01:12It's OK, I'll get through to him.
01:13Oh, there's a surprise.
01:14I thought he'd be halfway to Rio on his private jet by now.
01:17Hello, Gran. You're in early.
01:19I just thought I'd better give you a heads up.
01:21Trace is outside.
01:24Outside doing what?
01:26Well, I think it'd be a good idea if you went and saw for yourselves.
01:29Listen, your mother's been on.
01:31Asking if you've sorted your sixth form yet.
01:33No, not yet.
01:34Right, well, you'd better get moving on it.
01:36You're supposed to start in a couple of days.
01:37Yeah, well, I might just sack it all off at this point, so...
01:39Sack it? What do you mean, sack it?
01:41Hang on a minute.
01:42This wouldn't be anything to do with a certain someone taking an interest, would it?
01:45I don't know what you're talking about, Dad.
01:47Oh, I'll tell you what I'm talking about.
01:49Betsy is what I'm talking about.
01:50Why do you want to get mixed up with her anyway?
01:52Even Mason chucked her.
01:54Well, she chucked him.
01:57Right, well, believe me, I know her type.
02:00Her type?
02:02Bad news. Steer well clear.
02:04Look, this is why I wanted to get out of this place.
02:06So people like you can stay out of my business.
02:13What the hell?
02:14It's not personal. Not for you, anyway.
02:16You need to get rid of that now.
02:17Gladly.
02:18As soon as Rowan hands Amy back the money that he stole off her.
02:21Oh, he didn't steal the money.
02:23He's a con man.
02:24And if you can't see that, you're either thick or you're in it with him.
02:27All right, all right, I'll just try and get a hold of him.
02:30But like I said, he'll sort this out.
02:32Good.
02:33And in the meantime, Steve and Amy are going to have a little chat with the Gazette.
02:37Oh, that's all we needed.
02:39Is that all you're bothered about? Huh?
02:43Don't know how you live with yourself, Leanne.
02:45I don't really.
02:47DOOR OPENS
02:51Oh, sorry I'm late. I stopped off at the hospital to see Lauren.
02:56What can I do you for?
02:58Bad news, I'm afraid.
03:00We need to wind down the Joel Deering investigation.
03:05What?
03:07Why?
03:09Why do you think?
03:10The case has collapsed. CPS will never go for it.
03:13Plus the wrongful arrests of Roy Cropper and Nathan Curtis haven't exactly covered us in glory.
03:19Wait, so we're washing our hands of Lauren because it's bad PR?
03:24You know as well as me, we've got finite resources.
03:28Lauren isn't the only vulnerable girl out there.
03:31Look, we've made mistakes. I hold my hands up, but we can get Joel on this.
03:36We have got cases coming out of our ears, Lisa.
03:39Ones we might actually stand a chance of winning.
03:42Look, it's his word against hers and frankly, hers isn't reliable.
03:48Oh, he did this alright.
03:50If we let him go now, he'll be straight after her or some other vulnerable teenager.
03:55He puts one foot out of line and we're on him like a ton of bricks.
03:58Look, please, at least speak to Lauren first. Hear her side of it.
04:03I'm sorry. Decision's been made.
04:06We swore an oath to protect people like Lauren.
04:09To protect people like Lauren.
04:13Does that mean nothing?
04:16The case is closed.
04:32Hiya.
04:34Is Roy about?
04:35Yeah, he is.
04:38Can I see him?
04:40Now you want to see him?
04:42You weren't so bothered when the police took him in jail, were you?
04:46Sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
04:49No, it's fine. It's like it's not true.
04:53Look, I know you were scared and what Joel did was just beyond evil.
05:00We've got mates here. People who care about you. We could have protected you.
05:07I'll go and get Roy.
05:08No, you know what? Leave it. Just tell him I stopped by to say hiya.
05:24Alright. How you doing?
05:26How do you think? Your mum won't even answer my calls.
05:30Look, maybe she'll just get to Norfolk and realise it was all a terrible mistake, then come straight back.
05:35For you.
05:36I never ordered that.
05:38Yeah, no, it's just to cheer you up on the house.
05:40Great. Now I'm a charity case.
05:42No, no. I didn't mean it like that.
05:45I'm not really hungry. Cheers, love.
05:48On second thoughts, no point wasting it.
05:55Look, are you going to come and wave her off later?
05:58What's the point? It's not like she wants me there.
06:06Finally. Two hours I've been waiting around here.
06:11What can I say?
06:14Rushed off my feet.
06:17So, are you charging me or not?
06:21We've reviewed our investigation into your criminal activities.
06:24Alleged activities.
06:25And it's been decided not to pursue our inquiries for the time being.
06:30So, you've got nothing?
06:35LAUGHTER
06:40Oh, that can't look good for you, that. Arresting the wrong one. Three times.
06:48Oh, some might say you're incompetent.
06:51We didn't arrest the wrong man. Not in your case.
06:54And yet you've got no evidence.
06:57Oh, we'll find it.
06:59Cocky types like you always slip up in the end.
07:03In the meantime, even look at Dee Dee or Lauren again
07:07and it won't be prison you'll need to worry about.
07:10And yet...
07:12Oh, that is a threat.
07:19How is Betsy, by the way?
07:24Is she still trying to blackmail people?
07:27Well, it's to be expected, really, isn't it? You for a mum.
07:30She's been neglected. I see her all the time.
07:34You're lecturing me about being a bad parent after what you did to your baby?
07:48What are you up to?
07:50No, probably just staying.
07:52You can't stay here all day.
07:53Oh, come on, Jack, I know you're worried about your hearing next week,
07:56but once the judge knows why you did it,
07:58chances are they'll go easy on you.
08:00Why would they?
08:04Hello?
08:06Oh, hi, Adam.
08:08Yeah, I'm with him now.
08:11Yeah, yeah, we can.
08:13All right. See you later.
08:15Cheers, pal.
08:17What did he say?
08:18He was rushing into court, but he wants to meet up with us later,
08:22update us on your case.
08:23Well, this could be good, right?
08:25Absolutely.
08:26Absolutely.
08:28We'll just have this smoothie,
08:30and then we've got to go and say goodbye to Auntie Beth.
08:34That's all gone through. I'll bring it over.
08:36Thanks.
08:37Oi.
08:38Is it true what Bethany's heard?
08:40That Joel got hold of some drug and tried to make Lauren lose the baby?
08:43Seriously?
08:45Who told her that?
08:46Well, I'm hardly going to tell you that, am I?
08:49Well, I'm hardly going to answer it.
08:51Excuse me.
08:53So...
08:55what time do you need to be back at the factory?
08:57Ages yet, so go on.
09:00Go on what?
09:01Well, you've obviously brought me here to have a go about something.
09:04What, I can't just have lunch with my own daughter?
09:07I don't remember who I am, love, yeah?
09:09Feeling better?
09:11Better?
09:12Yeah, it was just Karl who said you was off with some bug.
09:17I'll, er, I'll bring your sardies over.
09:19Please don't tell me you've been bunking off.
09:21I pulled a sickie, all right?
09:22One day.
09:23Some of us have a life outside of work.
09:26Right, well, you'd better head straight back after this.
09:28If I hear of you messing Karl around again...
09:30I won't.
09:32And I suppose this hectic social life,
09:34it's why you didn't come to me about Joel.
09:36I did.
09:38After I wasted vital weeks.
09:40Do you know what, for a second there,
09:41I thought you were actually worried about me, but no.
09:43As always, it's always about Joel.
09:45For a second there, I thought you were actually worried about me, but no.
09:48As always, it's always about you and your precious career.
09:51No, I'm just saying,
09:52if I'd have known, I could have got Joel off the street sooner.
09:56Protected Lauren's baby.
09:57Do you know what, is there anything else you want to blame me for?
10:00Oh, no, Betsy, I didn't mean it like that.
10:09Well...
10:11I guess this is it, then.
10:16Mmm.
10:18Bye, sweetheart.
10:19Promise you'll come and visit me all the time.
10:22Course we will.
10:24I know I don't say this enough, but...
10:26Sinead would be really proud of you.
10:33I can't believe Kirky's not here.
10:36Oh!
10:37Oh, thank goodness.
10:38Thought we might miss you.
10:40Now, we've had a bit of a whip round, and, well, we got you this.
10:43Listen, erm...
10:44It's what we could get you in the time that we had.
10:47But, erm...
10:48Here we go.
10:49Ta-da!
10:51I printed the pictures and...
10:53Well, Izzie sewed them on.
10:55Oh, all right, it's not that bad.
10:58Oh, come here.
11:00Oh.
11:03I'm going to miss you.
11:04Lord knows why.
11:08Oh, I pictured life once and I wouldn't be the same without you.
11:12Oh!
11:16There you go.
11:18All right.
11:20Mum, are you sure this is what you want?
11:25Yeah, it is.
11:27Why? I don't think it makes any sense.
11:30Please, love, I know you're mad at me, but one day you'll understand.
11:34I love you so much.
11:38I love you, too.
11:42SHE COUGHS
11:46Bye.
11:47See you.
11:48Bye-bye.
11:54Call me when you get there, yeah?
11:57Bye, Mum.
11:58Bye-bye.
11:59Bye, we'll miss you.
12:00Steph, don't go!
12:01Stop the cab! Stop the cab!
12:05I couldn't let you go without saying a proper goodbye to her.
12:09You've been good for Daddy, yeah?
12:12Mummy loves you.
12:14Please don't go.
12:16Craig...
12:17Whatever I did wrong, I can change.
12:20Listen to me.
12:22None of this is your fault.
12:25You'll always be perfect to me.
12:27Then let me come.
12:28I can work in the factory, make new friends.
12:30No.
12:31Why not?
12:34Because you deserve better than me.
12:37I'm sorry.
12:38I'm sorry.
12:42Just go! Go!
12:48I don't get it.
12:49Is you sick of the sight of me, fair enough?
12:51Or to walk out on Bertie and Peanut?
12:53There's something else going on here.
12:56I know it.
13:07All right?
13:09What are you doing?
13:10Avoiding my mum.
13:11She's doing my head in.
13:15I'm not thinking about that now.
13:17Sit down.
13:22Have I got a disease?
13:24No.
13:25What are you sat over there for?
13:29I've got a fever.
13:31I've got a fever.
13:32I've got a fever.
13:33I've got a fever.
13:34I've got a fever.
13:35I've got a fever.
13:41I'm glad you're not moving away.
13:44I'd have missed you.
13:45Really?
13:47You don't believe me?
13:49I wasn't sure.
13:52I'd better make myself a bit clearer then.
13:58Do you know what?
13:59For a second there,
14:00I bet it actually looked like you meant that.
14:02If someone's jealous, I bin them off.
14:04Jealous?
14:05No, no, I'm having a party
14:06because I was actually beginning to think
14:08I'd never shake you off.
14:10And for you,
14:11thank you, mate.
14:12Seriously, you've done me one there.
14:13Because no one else round here is going to go and touch her.
14:25I still can't get my head round her going like that.
14:27Me neither.
14:29Do you reckon it's to do with that fake gear they were making?
14:31How do you mean?
14:32Maybe the people she was selling it to got heavy.
14:34Scared her off.
14:36Here you go, boys.
14:37On the house.
14:38What, you as well?
14:39Sorry?
14:40Everyone's treating me like I'm a pathetic charity case.
14:42No.
14:43Actually, they were from me.
14:45I just wanted to say I'm sorry I'm about Beth leaving.
14:47Oh, right.
14:48Well, cheers.
14:50I'll leave you to it.
14:51Yeah, me too.
14:52Oh, actually, mate,
14:54there was something I wanted to ask you.
14:58You know the guy that my mum was selling these knock-off T-shirts to?
15:02You don't think that he could have put the frighteners on her?
15:05Sid?
15:06What makes you say that?
15:08Well, it would explain why she left so fast.
15:10Do you know where I can find him?
15:12Why are you asking me?
15:13You were the one who dealt with him.
15:15Not officially.
15:16I bought him off as a favour for your mum.
15:19Anyway, he's a bottom feeder.
15:21There's no way your mum would have been scared of him.
15:24You're barking up the wrong tree, mate.
15:28Oh.
15:33Hiya.
15:34Sorry to disturb.
15:35I mean, Betsy said she was feeling loads better,
15:37so I just wanted to check that she'd made it in OK.
15:40Well, funny you should say that,
15:41because we're still waiting for her to grace us with her presence.
15:44You kidding?
15:46No, sorry, that's probably my fault.
15:49Hiya.
15:50I said something I shouldn't have and she went off in a huff.
15:52What's she blaming you for this time?
15:54Oh, I had a bit of a morning of it at work
15:56without her.
15:57Didn't you?
15:59Yeah.
16:01Have you got a minute?
16:02Yeah, go on, sit down.
16:09We had to let Joe go this morning.
16:11Oh, you're kidding me.
16:13Why?
16:14Insufficient evidence.
16:16Doesn't mean I'm giving up, though.
16:18Not by a long joke, but...
16:20It's just something that he said that really got under my skin.
16:24Basically, I'd neglected Betsy.
16:26He said that to you?
16:29I hope you smacked him one.
16:31He's right, though.
16:32If I'd have been around more,
16:33then she never would have got mixed up with him.
16:35How come at least you're a single mum with a high-pressure career?
16:39I can hardly run this knicker factory.
16:41No, it's not just that, though.
16:43After Becky died, I should have taken more time off.
16:46You know, helped Betsy through it properly,
16:48but instead I took the coward's way out
16:50and threw myself into my job and...
16:53Now I feel like I'm losing her as well.
16:55Oh, come on, that's not going to happen, is it?
16:59I'm not one that should be giving advice,
17:01but have you tried telling her all this?
17:03I won't tell her what a mess I've made.
17:05I think she's probably worked that out for herself.
17:08Well, maybe she'd like to hear it from you, you know?
17:11So that she feels like she's not the only one who messes up sometimes.
17:17Can you give us a minute, please?
17:19Yes, of course.
17:20Come on, mate, we're meant to be celebrating.
17:22Adam played a blinder getting that CPS lawyer to agree to her plea bargain.
17:27Still going to get done for, right?
17:29Yeah, but you heard what he said.
17:30If you plead guilty to arson reckless to endanger life
17:34instead of intent to,
17:36it's not as serious.
17:37You'll get a third off your sentence.
17:42What are you doing?
17:44Getting me and Dylan a takeaway.
17:46Right, sure you are.
17:47Betsy, what is it?
17:49What is it going to take to get through to your little brain?
17:52I'm not interested in you.
17:54Mason, wait, you're right.
17:56I was only trying to make you jealous.
17:58I couldn't give a monkey's, to be quite honest.
18:00Now, do you want to hear before you...
18:02Hey, what's going on?
18:04Nothing.
18:05She was just about to leave.
18:10Can I pay?
18:11I've been waiting some time.
18:12Oh, sorry.
18:13Yeah, yeah, OK, just follow me.
18:15Thanks.
18:27I'm sorry I didn't get back to you.
18:29I was going to call you this morning, but things have been pretty mad.
18:32Yeah, well, you should try it from the morning I've just had.
18:34Tracy graffitied thieves right across the front of the bistro.
18:37Seriously?
18:38Yeah, and she said she's going to go to the press
18:40if she doesn't get her money back.
18:42Good job I spent the morning without lawyers then.
18:44Oh, so you are trying to arrange to get the money back?
18:47What? No, making sure we're covered if she tries taking us to court.
18:51That's why I wanted to talk to you, bring you up to speed on our strategy.
18:54Me?
18:55From now on, your only priority is making sure the Institute is protected.
19:00Hang on a minute.
19:01Amy's practically family.
19:03I can't just cheat her out of her inheritance.
19:05Cheat?
19:06No-one forced her to invest that money.
19:10Unless you did.
19:12Well, no.
19:14Well, not intentionally.
19:16Look, there must be some kind of cooling-off period.
19:20Her gran left her all that money in her will and it's everything she's got.
19:24And she'll be handsomely rewarded.
19:28We can count on you.
19:30With your loyalty, can't we?
19:32Willow invested a lot of time and energy in helping you turn your life around.
19:38I hope that wasn't for nothing.
19:41My boss reckons there wasn't a realistic prospect of a conviction.
19:45Basically, it's damage limitation.
19:48So Joel gets to walk free to protect their reputation?
19:53This is my fault.
19:55What?
19:56Absolutely not.
19:57If I'd have come back sooner than Roe, I wouldn't have been arrested.
19:59And then I wasted so much time on Nathan.
20:01The only person to blame here is Joel.
20:04And me.
20:06For not seeing it sooner.
20:09For not seeing it sooner.
20:12I let you down.
20:14But I meant everything I said.
20:16If Joel Dearing even tries to come near you...
20:18You'll do what?
20:20What, you'll protect us?
20:24Because...
20:26Police don't give a stuff about people like me.
20:29I mean, to them, I'm just some trash off the estate.
20:32No, that's not true.
20:34This isn't over, OK?
20:36One way or another, Joel Dearing is going to pay for what he has done.
20:41I give you my word.
20:43OK?
20:47Whatever.
20:54It was here when I came in.
20:56Look, I know you're upset, and you have every right to be,
20:59but we've searched everywhere for it.
21:02We will, of course, refund you for your meal.
21:05In fact, you can come back any time for another on the house.
21:08You'd think I'd come back here.
21:10Rest assured, I'll be leaving you a terrible review.
21:13Straight after I've reported you to the police.
21:19I believe in her, don't I?
21:21Obviously, she reckons one of us has nabbed her.
21:24Did you? Be honest.
21:26No.
21:28Thank you for trusting me, though.
21:30I'm sorry.
21:32I shouldn't have accused you.
21:34Look, why don't you go for a break,
21:36and we can start combing the place again when you come back.
21:39OK?
22:05I think we need a little chat.
22:29Ah, ah.
22:32Ah, ah.
22:34Get out of my way.
22:36Where are you going? To see our son?
22:38My son.
22:40Well, if I can't see him, neither can you.
22:42They're still turning me away.
22:44Not to do with me. Ah, another lie.
22:47Just like the ones you've been feeding the police.
22:49I told the truth.
22:52You wouldn't know the truth if it smacked you in the...mouth.
22:58Yeah, because you're an expert on that subject, aren't you?
23:06Not according to the CPS. No case to answer, they say.
23:09They'll get you in the end.
23:11No, they won't.
23:15You shouldn't have gone up against me, Lauren. I know the law.
23:21Just leave me alone. I would.
23:23But now you're stopping me from seeing my son.
23:26And that I can't help. Don't give me that.
23:28Pretending you care about your family now.
23:30Don't try to understand what goes on in the lives of civilised people.
23:34You know nothing. You're a child.
23:36A chavvy little child.
23:41Then what do you want from me, Joel?
23:44To ruin your life.
23:46The way you're ruining mine.
23:57Shouldn't you be heading back?
24:00Can't face it.
24:03Yeah, I don't blame you.
24:05This is the worst part of my job.
24:08What, knowing the guilty? Not being able to prove it?
24:11No, knowing the free to do it again.
24:15Yeah, it's bad enough when it's just some stranger.
24:21This one hit pretty close to home for all of us.
24:24Oh, poor Lauren.
24:27You know, for all the cases we handle,
24:29you'd think we'd be more prepared for crime when it lands on our doorstep.
24:32But, if anything, it's the exact opposite.
24:38We need to go. Now.
24:40Where?
24:41Hospital.
24:46It's my own fault, really.
24:48Cos I felt sorry for you.
24:50You were nothing. You had no prospects.
24:52You had no class.
24:53So I tried to help you,
24:55but now you're getting ideas above your station.
24:58You're a proper psycho, you.
25:00And you're a whore.
25:02Well, actually, no, cos they have some professional pride.
25:05They take the money and they shut up,
25:07whereas you, you've got a mouth like an open sewer.
25:10Shut up.
25:11You know, you should take your own advice.
25:13Cos the police, they might be listening to you now,
25:15but the more you talk, the more they realise
25:18the illiterate gutter trash that you are.
25:20Says the guy who tried to kill his own son.
25:25Yeah, I've been thinking about that.
25:30I actually reckon Frankie might have been better off not being born.
25:34Better that than being saddled with some prostitute deadbeat mum.
25:38What did you just say?
25:39No, I'm saying I think Frankie will be better off dead.
25:43Oh, you prick!
25:44How dare you talk to me like that?
25:46Do you dare say that to me?
25:48I will kill you!
25:52Thanks.
25:57I wasn't sure about telling you this,
25:59because I didn't want you to get your hopes up,
26:01but there had been talk of refunding her money.
26:04Really?
26:05But how can we now?
26:07She's publicly accused us on that radio show of hers.
26:11She's accused us of stealing.
26:13She's calling me... You criminals.
26:16If we were to return the money now,
26:18it would look like an admission of guilt.
26:20You can see that, surely.
26:24Maybe you could speak to her?
26:26She won't listen to me. She's furious.
26:29But you can make her understand.
26:31Show her that what she's doing is hurting people, hurting you.
26:36Make her see that she has to stop this attack on us.
26:41And then we'll get our money back to her?
26:44One step at a time.
26:47First she has to back off.
26:49You said yourself she's Oliver's sister.
26:52She'll listen to you.
26:55I don't know. Architecture, maybe? What about you?
26:58Fashion, for me. Anything but the family business.
27:01There's worse jobs than being in the police.
27:03Oh, God, you sound like her.
27:05Don't talk to me like my mother. Talk to me like you're my boyfriend.
27:08Oh, I'm your boyfriend, am I?
27:10Let's just say you're on the short list.
27:13Hey! Come here, you little cow!
27:16Just stay away from her, will you? You set me up!
27:19Can you smell that, Tilly?
27:21It smells like something crawled out the bin after being dumped.
27:24She's playing you.
27:26You can't trust her. She's playing you.
27:28It is the ex-con.
27:30What are you on about? This?
27:32Eh? She planted this on me.
27:35You're trying to get me sacked, are you? Eh?
27:38Did you?
27:40Doesn't sound like something I would do.
27:43Just watch yourself around her, cos she's toxic.
27:56Where is he?
27:57I, erm, I got your text.
28:00Erm, he's gone.
28:02What did he do to you?
28:04No, not this time, but you said you'd keep him away from me.
28:07Yeah, I'm sorry.
28:08Look, what did he want?
28:11He wanted to...
28:13He came to see your friend, Kate, but I know that wasn't it.
28:16He just wanted to get a rise out of me.
28:18What do you mean, a rise?
28:19PHONE RINGS
28:21Dear Swain.
28:24Lauren Bolton?
28:25Oh, here we go.
28:26Yeah, I've been dealing with it.
28:28No, no, it's fine. Leave it with me.
28:31Looks like I'm going to have to arrest you for assault.
28:37Hey! I'm not doing outing there!
28:39Have you got a warrant?
28:40What did you say to my mum?
28:42Eh?
28:43Don't act daft.
28:44Beth Sutherland.
28:45She's left town and I want to know why.
28:47Ask her, then.
28:48I'm asking you.
28:49No lies.
28:50Did you threaten my mum?
28:52What? No.
28:53I'm a businessman. Why would I do that?
28:55I'm a businessman.
28:57What? No.
28:58I'm a businessman. Why would I do that?
29:00You tell me.
29:01Last I saw Beth was to tell her I wasn't interested in doing business with her any more.
29:05When was this?
29:06A few weeks ago.
29:08I swear, I don't know why she's gone.
29:11Right, OK.
29:13What's in the back of the van?
29:15Nothing.
29:16Get it gone.
29:17I don't want to see you on this precinct ever again.
29:20You're the boss!
29:28He knows something's up.
29:30My son.
29:32I'll deal with it.
29:50That's great news.
29:52Well, he's still gonna get his youth rehabilitation order, which is shorter.
29:56No-one can say he set out to hurt anyone.
29:58After what he did, we couldn't really ask for more.
30:00And I spoke to the school.
30:01They're fine with him having a day off for this plea he heard in.
30:04Why do you do that?
30:06Because it's your first day of term.
30:08I had to tell them you wouldn't be there.
30:09Perfect.
30:14Oh, guys, sorry I'm late.
30:16I went for a walk.
30:18I just lost track of time.
30:20Been off to the shops?
30:22No.
30:23Spending your new-found riches
30:25using the credit card before it gets cancelled.
30:27Stu, give him a chance to explain.
30:30What are you on about?
30:31Look, I've given him every opportunity to explain.
30:36The purse.
30:37Stu saw you with it.
30:38I was going out there like an idiot to apologise.
30:41And then I saw you waving it about in front of your mates.
30:43No, no, no, no.
30:44They are not my mates, OK?
30:46They planted this on me.
30:48Here.
30:50Look, I don't believe you.
30:51I don't believe you because all you ever do is spout lies.
30:55I'm not lying to you, Stu.
30:57I swear.
30:58All right, I found the purse in my pocket,
31:00but I didn't put it there.
31:02Look, I just can't keep going into bat for you
31:05if you just keep throwing it back at me face.
31:08You know what, Stu?
31:09You're just like everyone else, aren't you?
31:12You are, though.
31:13No-one ever believes me.
31:15Yasmeen.
31:16You know, maybe you ought to ask yourself this.
31:19If the whole world has an issue with you,
31:22is it that everyone else is wrong?
31:25Or is it you that's got the problem?
31:27Officer, over here.
31:33They've, er...
31:34They've just finished up with Lauren.
31:36So she's being released?
31:38Yeah.
31:40Right.
31:41Right, and who was her duty solicitor?
31:44Phil Sissons.
31:46OK. He's good, yeah.
31:48Yeah, he's one of the better ones.
31:50Surely there's no case to answer.
31:52I mean, assault. Joel's twice her size.
31:55Look, listen, I didn't conduct her interview,
31:57but I spoke to the officer who did.
31:59Lauren described the whole thing.
32:01She was very honest, admitted to attacking him, so...
32:05Only thing is, she didn't say anything about texting anyone.
32:09Sorry?
32:11Well, you said she texted you to say that Joel was at the hospital.
32:16But Lauren never mentioned it.
32:18And from the situation she described,
32:20it didn't sound very much like she'd have an opportunity
32:23to whip her phone out until after.
32:25So why don't you take a leaf out of Lauren's book?
32:29And tell the truth.
32:45So, come on.
32:46How did you know Joel would be at the hospital?
32:52I came here as a courtesy.
32:54Please don't make me take you in.
32:59OK.
33:01I'll tell you what I think.
33:03I think there's a tracking app on Joel's phone.
33:06There's nothing wrong with a couple sharing each other's locations.
33:10Me and Becky used to do it.
33:13He was travelling for work a few months back,
33:16and we set it up then.
33:19And when that journey was over,
33:21did he turn off the location sharing?
33:24Cos if it had been turned on this whole time,
33:26that's the kind of information I'd have expected you to share with me.
33:29He might have turned it off, then.
33:31But if someone were to have turned it back on without his consent,
33:35well, that's when we start getting into criminal behaviour,
33:38as well you know.
33:40Look, it would be pretty hard to prove
33:43he hadn't turned it back on himself accidentally.
33:46Yeah, maybe.
33:47But that doesn't mean to say I shouldn't arrest you and give it a go.
33:50OK, but like you say,
33:52it's normal for couples to share each other's locations.
33:55A court would believe that.
33:56Look, just don't, OK?
33:59I really need to trust you, but you've just lied to me.
34:02And I'm in a bad enough position already without you making it worse.
34:05PHONE RINGS
34:06Oh!
34:10Yes?
34:15OK.
34:17Thanks.
34:23They've just dropped Lauren back off at the hospital.
34:27Why don't you go and check on her?
34:31So, we're good, yeah?
34:33You're just lucky I want to catch this guy.
34:38But I'm warning you, watch your step.
34:42I will. I...
34:44I am sorry.
34:45If he gets off on a technicality because you've done something daft...
34:54So, married in 2015, charged in 2060?
35:01Cheers, mate. I owe you one.
35:05There you go.
35:08Sorry, miles away.
35:10You thirsty? Are you expecting company?
35:13I turned in the scene of a car crash.
35:15Come again?
35:16Kirk's marriage.
35:18I don't know. Maybe it's the copper in me days.
35:20I just... I can't stand by and do nothing when a man drowns.
35:24Cheers.
35:30Might never join you.
35:31I'll always bring you down.
35:34Oh.
35:35That's marriage for you.
35:37Most of them end in divorce these days.
35:40It's not just celebrities. I've had about 50%.
35:42I'm not really into hip-hop.
35:44Right.
35:46I'm just saying you shouldn't put yourself down.
35:48Nowadays, a lot of people are getting married more than once.
35:51Not me.
35:52Beth was my one and only.
35:54Who else would want me?
35:55Oh, don't say that.
35:57I still think there's more to a leaving.
35:59How long were you two married?
36:01Depends what you mean by married.
36:03What do you mean?
36:04We had a wedding in 2015.
36:06I was adamant.
36:07Adamant about what?
36:08No, the dandy highwayman.
36:10He was 80, it seemed, but it wasn't a real wedding.
36:13Why not?
36:15Beth was already married to Craig's dad.
36:17Oh.
36:19So she's a bigamist.
36:21Yep.
36:22That explains a lot.
36:24How do you mean?
36:26That explains a lot.
36:28How do you mean?
36:29Well, I'm sorry, it's just not for me to say.
36:32No? What is it?
36:34I've met a few bigamists in my time,
36:36and there's always a pattern.
36:38What kind of pattern?
36:40Well, the sort of people who get bored easily.
36:42And when they get bored, they start doing unpredictable things.
36:45Illegal things.
36:46Like fake designer clothes?
36:48Exactly.
36:49And when the heat gets turned up,
36:51they move on.
36:52Rinse and repeat.
36:54I'm surprised she weren't messing around with other blokes, too.
36:57She was.
36:58Some bloke called Michael.
37:00Oh, yeah. Sorry, yeah.
37:01Craig mentioned something about that.
37:04It's a wonder she didn't skip Tarantino.
37:07So you don't think there's more to it?
37:09I think it was always going to happen.
37:11I'm sorry, mate.
37:17Where's my dad?
37:19Well, he's run off to join the circus.
37:21I couldn't handle it any more.
37:24So, wife, you set up a place with a table?
37:27Nah, no one gets past you, does it?
37:29Nah, he's just nipped out to get us a few bits for tea.
37:33Is he annoyed at me?
37:35No, of course he's not.
37:36He's just...
37:37He's just a bit confused.
37:39We both are.
37:41What's up?
37:45I just don't want everyone at school to know what I did.
37:49Well, Hope already knows.
37:51She's different.
37:52How?
37:53She's my mate.
37:54If everyone else finds out, I'll never hear the end of it.
37:57You're exaggerating.
37:59Rich car girl got a pain in her side at sports day in year four.
38:02Everyone still calls him Stitch.
38:04Well, that's cos it rhymes.
38:06It's not funny.
38:07No, I know.
38:08OK, look, um...
38:12School won't tell anybody what you did.
38:15All right?
38:16But that doesn't mean to say it won't get out.
38:19And if it does and you get teased, well...
38:22You know what? That's just life.
38:24If you did something bad, you can't change that.
38:28And if you get a bit of ribbing,
38:30you might just have to take that on the chin.
38:32Right?
38:33We all do daft things and we all have to live with them, but...
38:38..you don't have to let one mistake define you.
38:41It's called growing up.
38:44And, er, well, God knows it takes some of us longer than others,
38:48but, um, no matter what, me and your dad will be here to help.
38:52Right?
38:54Aw!
38:57It's not what I wanted.
38:59Yeah, I know.
39:00I was only trying to get him sacked.
39:02I didn't expect the police to show up.
39:04Do you think he'll go back to young offenders?
39:09All right, what are you two looking so guilty about?
39:11What have you been up to?
39:12Actually, don't answer that. Spare me the gory details.
39:15We were just talking.
39:16I'm sure you were, young lady.
39:18That's the trouble, though, isn't it?
39:20When you open your mouth, trouble follows.
39:22Right, well, I'll leave you to it.
39:24Behave.
39:32Look, we've got to tell the police what you did.
39:34What?
39:35Then are we made the arrest?
39:37They'll go easy on you for coming clean.
39:39You don't know that.
39:40We can't just do nothing, can we?
39:41Look, Mason's dangerous.
39:43It's only a matter of time before he hurts someone again.
39:45Prison's the best place for him.
39:47And he'll just tell the police it were you, though, won't he?
39:49It's got no proof. Who are they going to believe?
39:51You're a detective's daughter.
39:53If we tell the truth, then he's free to come after us.
39:55He's done now.
39:57If we want to stay safe, then we need to stay quiet.
40:03Beat you again.
40:05I know it might sound harsh, but in a way, you should be relieved.
40:09Why?
40:10Well, your marriage was as fake as those T-shirts.
40:12So you don't have a divorce to worry about.
40:14No kids, either.
40:15I've got a peanut.
40:16Sorry?
40:17Our dog. I've got custody.
40:20Well, that's something.
40:21Honest, mate, some of these women leave a bloke with nothing.
40:25You're right. I should count my blessings.
40:28Jack's head down.
40:30Oh, yeah. Good work.
40:32What did he have to say for himself?
40:34He said he had an alter with her going.
40:36Do you believe him?
40:37Yeah, but something is not right.
40:40What do your instincts tell you?
40:42That my mum wouldn't just up and leave for no reason?
40:45There was a reason.
40:46What?
40:47She was bored.
40:48It's textbook.
40:49Hey, Kit.
40:50This sounds like family stuff.
40:52I'll get us a pint.
40:54What do you mean?
40:55Marco.
40:56The T-shirts.
40:57She's been after something exciting in her life.
40:59And let's face it, I'm not that.
41:01It's time we both accepted it.
41:03Your mum likes drama.
41:05She'll spend her life trying to find it.
41:08Maybe you're right.
41:09He's a nice guy.
41:11Kind.
41:12Yeah, he's a good lad.
41:14We'll be all right.
41:17Have you got any hot pots?
41:19Yeah, do you want one?
41:20Yeah, I mean, I did have a booking at the bistro.
41:22But then, I don't really want to support a business
41:25that steals a 20-year-old's inheritance.
41:28I think he can hear you.
41:30I can.
41:31You were supposed to.
41:32So, do you want the hot pot?
41:33I mean, what kind of heartless person
41:35takes tens of thousands of pounds off somebody?
41:37I have no idea. Any ideas, Daisy?
41:40And this one tells me stealing isn't stealing anymore.
41:44Sorry, a beer in my hand means I'm off duty.
41:46You haven't got a pint.
41:48My savour.
41:49We aim to please.
41:50Keep the change.
41:51So, where are we on the hot pot?
41:54Oh, here she is.
41:56Hopefully about to hand me 40,000 pounds.
41:59I'm sorry, Tracy, I've not got the money.
42:01Are you going to get it?
42:02Well, I'm trying, but Rowan's on a retreat
42:04and there's nothing I can do till he gets back.
42:06Right, well, then we've got nothing to say to each other.
42:09Well, maybe I could speak to Amy. Is she at home?
42:11Oh, yeah, knock on all you like.
42:13Admission fee, 40K.
42:15Until then, stay away from my daughter.
42:18Hot pot.
42:19I think I've lost my appetite.
42:25You OK?
42:26No, not really.
42:29What more is there to say to Amy?
42:31Well, I just want you to apologise again.
42:34Maybe you should leave her be.
42:40He... He's unhinged.
42:43He was perhaps still laughing when I went at him.
42:46That's his true colours starting to show.
42:49It means he's feeling the pressure.
42:51What pressure? The police don't care.
42:53Well, they're more worried about me hitting him.
42:55Look, DS Swain is still on our side.
42:58Just about.
43:00At least she can see what he is.
43:01Well, then arrest him, then!
43:03Look, we just need to stay the course.
43:05OK, we have both made mistakes today.
43:07But if we're going to get through this,
43:09we have to pull together, Lauren.
