00:37["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:40Okay, so that's booked.
00:41You'll send me a confirmation email.
00:44Thank you. Have a nice day.
00:48Friday the 27th?
00:50Friday the 27th, yeah.
00:53Shame we couldn't get a Saturday.
00:55People 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.
01:13You've split the costs, yeah?
01:15Well, 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.
01:24Hey, we'd better get started on our vows then.
01:27Vows? I'm happy with the traditional love and cherish stuff, aren't you?
01:32Well, yeah, but it's our one chance to express our feelings in front of our friends and family, in front of God.
01:38I thought you'd want the traditional things.
01:40In sickness and in health, till death do us part. You can't get much bigger than that.
01:44I do want tradition. I just, I want it to be personal too.
01:48You know, I want it to be special.
01:51It will be, I promise.
01:54Right, we'd better get a wriggle on. I told Bethany I'd meet her in the cafe later.
01:58Well, 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. There 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, so I feel like I owe her.
02:17And second, me in a top hat.
02:20You're just doing your job.
02:22I love that you care about people.
02:25And if we find her, that absolutely nails Roy's innocence.
02:28You're a good man.
02:30I try.
02:32And that is exactly why I am marrying you on Friday the 27th of September.
02:37Why don't you put that in your vows?
02:40Yeah, I'm going to the hospital in a bit to pick him up.
02:43OK, well, I can give you a lift if you like.
02:45Oh, thanks, but I'm just going to take the whole day.
02:47Oh, are you?
02:49Well, park the far side of the car park,
02:51cos nobody likes parking near the scapes of Stingwoman.
02:53Oh, thanks for the tip.
02:55You know, I just still can't get my head around how she could put Roy through this.
02:59I mean, how can she be so selfish?
03:01Don't get me started.
03:03Morning, boss.
03:05Oh, you're early today.
03:07Oh, Mum just dropped me off. Her idea, not mine.
03:10She likes an early start, so much to do.
03:12Missing girls, assaulted local boys.
03:15There you go.
03:17Thanks.
03:18Do you mind if I have some brekkie in here before I come into work?
03:21Er, yeah, go on then.
03:23Er, cos I don't have no money.
03:30Nina, tell Roy I'll see him later.
03:32There you go.
03:34So, has she said anything to you?
03:36No, she seems to be coping all right, doesn't she?
03:39Although I'm not sure she needs to be in today.
03:41Well, maybe she just wants to keep busy.
03:45Oh, my ears are burning.
03:47Yeah, cos we're talking about you.
03:49No, I just got my head too close to that eye-level grill.
03:51They're really warm.
03:53At least she's not lost her sense of humour.
03:55Look, are you sure you want to be in today?
03:57We can manage without you.
03:59What I want is for you both to stop treating me with kid gloves, OK?
04:02I'm fine, and working helps take my mind off the other stuff.
04:06OK, well, whatever you want to do, then that's what we'll do.
04:09Thanks. Well, I'll get back to the kitchen
04:11and you can carry on talking about me behind my back.
04:15At least she seems in good spirits.
04:17Fingers crossed.
04:19Right, I'm going to make some phone call.
04:21Hi. Hi, how are things?
04:23Yeah, OK.
04:25I was just wondering if you'd spoken to Amy.
04:27I sent her some info on the business retreat,
04:29but she's not gotten back to me.
04:31Oh, I think Amy might be cooling.
04:34Really? Yeah, I...
04:36Well, it's my fault. I showed her Oliver's AI
04:38and I think it might have spooked her.
04:40You made it clear that's only one of our many techniques
04:43and opportunities we can offer.
04:45Well, I didn't really get the chance. She...
04:47She shut me down.
04:49Oh. I've always admired your tenacity.
04:52Surprised you gave up so easily.
04:54No, I've not gave up. I will speak to her.
04:56It's just I'm gearing myself up for a final push.
04:59I was so right with my faith in you.
05:02Well done.
05:04Coffee? Yeah, please.
05:09Well, I thought your business study degree
05:12was keeping an accountancy.
05:14It does, but it's obviously not prepared me
05:16for my mother's unique attitude towards numbers.
05:18Oh, well, I would offer to help,
05:20but I've never been very good with numbers.
05:22You know, I prefer the more creative side of life.
05:26Numbers are so cold, soulless.
05:29You know, I prefer the soft, the tender, the warm.
05:33How about you take your soft soul over to the shop
05:36whilst I try and make sense of these books?
05:38Good idea. Let's play to our strengths.
05:41I'm looking for patterns, but I can't see anything.
05:44Hmm. Leicester'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? How has she bought food?
06:00SHE SIGHS
06:07Of course, she might not be in Leicester.
06:10After risking going to see Roy at the hospital,
06:12she might have wanted to get as far away as she could.
06:15Or maybe she's feeling braver.
06:17Maybe she's closer than we think.
06:19Any joy? Not yet.
06:22Yeah, we'll keep going. Craig was in earlier.
06:25I pestered him to put a rocket under the police search.
06:27I mean, the more people looking for her, the sooner we'll find her.
06:30And that way, we'll know exactly why she put Roy through this nightmare.
06:37SHE SIGHS
06:39All right, thanks anyway. Bye.
06:43Oh! How can he be gone already?
06:46Because it was big enough for a family.
06:48For once, we could afford the rent.
06:50We're not the only people looking for accommodation.
06:52Yeah, but how many other people are about to get kicked out of their own home?
06:55At least something will come up.
06:57Will it?
06:59Yeah, I spoke to Billy.
07:01He said that the council will put us on a waiting list
07:03and we'll be entitled to emergency housing in the meantime,
07:05so we're not going to go homeless, Jess.
07:07I know.
07:09But we've got the kids and the school.
07:11Our pub. We don't need this.
07:15I feel like I've let you down.
07:17Can't even put a roof over our heads.
07:19Hey, no, you and me, we're a team, yeah?
07:23Even if we end up living in a cardboard box outside,
07:25I'd rather be doing it with you.
07:34Have you checked the photo?
07:37No, she's probably using a false name. Why did you...?
07:42Yes. Yeah.
07:44Well, thank you for not doing anything.
07:46I hope you're this helpful when the police contact you.
07:49What's the knack?
07:51I take it the searching's going well.
07:53Oh, I didn't hear you come in.
07:55It's one of my many hidden talents.
07:57I can be stealthy like a ninja when I want to be.
08:00You OK?
08:02I'm just frustrated.
08:06Well, let's hope the police are having more luck, eh?
08:09Anyway, how many people have you told?
08:13Told what?
08:15That we've set a date.
08:17That we've got a venue for the wedding.
08:19Oh, I've not had time.
08:22Well, chop, chop, babe. Clock is ticking.
08:25Is that news?
08:29Work. I 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.
08:48OK, let the police do the job.
08:50You 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.
09:05See you later.
09:17These are very neat, you know.
09:19Well, it's all she's done all morning.
09:21And she's swinging the lead.
09:23And she doesn't take a blind bit of notice of what I have to say.
09:26Where is she now?
09:28I've sent her down to pack in.
09:30Well, she's still trying to get her head round what's expected of her,
09:33you know, in a workplace.
09:35Hmm. I thought maybe you could choose a different worker
09:38for her to shop with.
09:40I don't know.
09:42Hmm. I thought maybe you could choose a different worker for her to shadow.
09:46But she's learning so much from you, Beth.
09:49Sorry to interrupt, but Betsy has a request.
09:52What request? I 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.
10:21Does that mean I can go for my dinner as well?
10:23No, it doesn't.
10:24So it's one rule for her and another for the rest of us.
10:27Get over yourself, Beth.
10:29She's work experience.
10:31Cut her some slack, haven't you, work?
10:36Hey.
10:37You just caught me. I'm actually heading out.
10:39Yeah, Joel mentioned you've not had much luck tracking down Lauren.
10:43No, but I'm going to head over to Leicester.
10:46I've got a list of soup kitchens and hostels that I want to check out.
10:49I mean, it'll probably be nothing, but I feel like I've got to do something.
10:52Well, that might be where I may be able to help.
10:56I was having a little look at the statements and I just...
10:59I think she might have moved on from Leicester.
11:01Really? How come?
11:03Well, come and have a look.
11:06She made most of her purchases on online shops,
11:10but she also bought some rail tickets from a train app.
11:13And I've checked with the train company.
11:15Most of them are a weird day of returns around the Midlands area.
11:18Yeah, I saw those, but I just assumed that that's where she was picking up the stuff she bought.
11:22Yeah, 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. I 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. Any news?
12:08Not heard anything, but everyone seems to be looking for her.
12:11Everyone?
12:13Yeah, well, Bethany and Joel were in the cafe earlier,
12:16and apparently Bethany thinks that Lauren's been using a credit card and living in Leicester.
12:20Leicester? Yeah.
12:22What do the police know about this?
12:24Well, I've tributed Craig into making sure the police do everything they can to try and find her.
12:28That sounds quite promising.
12:31Yeah, well, she can't hide away forever.
12:34She may have good reason for hiding.
12:37Has the doctor come to see you yet?
12:40Oh, he's already been.
12:42What did he say?
12:44Oh, well, the usual checks, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature,
12:50all within acceptable limits.
12:53All right, so is he going to discharge you then?
12:56Oh, he also made it clear that I have to continue with the cardiac rehab programme.
13:01He gave me the leaflet.
13:03Leaflet? Yeah, it's all the relevant information.
13:06Yeah, they like to hand out leaflets.
13:09He just as easily downloads that information.
13:12Oh, there's some medication.
13:15So can you come home then?
13:17And that, that's the letter of discharge summary that he sends to the GP.
13:23So can you come home?
13:25I believe so, yes.
13:27Right, well, do you want me to help you get dressed then?
13:30I don't think so.
13:32Right, well, I'll pull the curtain back and I'll let you get yourself sorted out.
13:39Erm...
13:41Gentle 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 her son.
13:52I feel terrible about what happened.
13:54But it didn't just happen. You whacked him with a car door.
13:56Oh, now you're exaggerating.
13:58I'm saving you skin.
14:00Buy me a new phone.
14:02You can only push me so far, you know.
14:04No 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.
14:19Don't worry, but if she can just swan off whenever she feels like it,
14:22why 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?
14:32Get back to work, Bess.
14:37Kills have a responsibility.
14:39They'll put you in a waiting list for temporary accommodation.
14:41And if that doesn't come through in time, you're entitled to emergency housing.
14:45Yeah, that's what Billy said, innit?
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.
14:53Sorry to interrupt, but I couldn't help overhearing.
14:56No, you mean you was here, Wiggin?
14:58Actually, I might be able to help you.
15:00One of my regular customers came in today to cancel her newspaper order.
15:06How does that help us?
15:08Because her and her family are having to move
15:10out of their rented accommodation on Balaclava Terrace.
15:13Her husband's got a job in Newcastle.
15:15She's reluctant to move because the rent's so low
15:17and the landlord is apparently a sweetheart.
15:21How many bedrooms?
15:22Er, three and a box room and a small garden.
15:24That could be perfect.
15:25I 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.
15:39I'm just a bit gutted it's not closer.
15:41I don't like being away from my pa.
15:44It just don't work out.
15:45Something else will turn up.
15:49Did you see her face when you showed her the picture of Lauren?
15:52Yeah.
15:53Then she said she's not seeing her.
15:55She could be trying to protect her.
15:57We need to be careful not to frighten her off, you know.
16:00I do think we're close.
16:01Yeah, me too.
16:02And I think you're right.
16:03I think she's around here somewhere.
16:06Excuse me.
16:07Did I hear you mention a woman called Lauren?
16:09Er, yeah.
16:11Yeah, we're her friends.
16:12Look, we know she's scared but we just want to find her.
16:14Help her.
16:15I've seen her here.
16:17Really?
16:19I promise you can trust us.
16:21Maybe you can speak to her and tell her that Didi and Bethany just want to help her.
16:24Yeah, or if you know where she's living.
16:26I'm not sure I should say anything.
16:28Look, 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.
16:34Look, please.
16:35We just want to help.
16:38There's a pub.
16:39King's Arms, about a mile from here.
16:41It's closed down and I know a few people are squatting there.
16:44She might be there.
16:46Thank you so much.
16:47You are her friends?
16:48Yeah, yeah we are.
16:50I hope you are.
16:51Can't be too careful.
16:52Not with a pregnant kid, alone on the streets.
16:55Best of luck.
17:08Hi.
17:09Is it a bad time?
17:10No.
17:11Just going around in circles with these accounts.
17:13I'd blame my mother if she was here, but she's not.
17:15And also Mary's not exactly good with numbers.
17:17Or reality.
17:19Well, I could always take a look if you want.
17:22I don't know.
17:23Listen.
17:25I'm sorry about yesterday.
17:27I shouldn't have shown you all of his AI.
17:29He was your brother as well as my son.
17:32And to be honest with you, you're not the only one who thinks it's a bit weird.
17:35You should have seen the looks Toya and Nick gave me.
17:37I didn't mean to suggest that you were weird.
17:41Well, anyway.
17:42I just wanted to say, don't let it put you off the institute.
17:46It really can help you in so many ways.
17:48All tailored to our own individual needs.
17:51Like some better accountancy skills.
17:53Yeah, exactly.
17:55And I'd be happy to help.
17:59How much would it cost me?
18:01Well, make us a brew and we'll call it quits.
18:04Okay.
18:05Quits.
18:07Okay.
18:08Thanks.
18:09But please, do have a think.
18:11Long term, the institute really can help you in loads of ways.
18:15I will.
18:16Promise.
18:20Hey, there we go.
18:24Yeah, is that for table six?
18:26Yeah.
18:27I thought they ordered the whites on sale.
18:29No, the red.
18:30Sure?
18:31Yes, of course I'm sure.
18:32Because, no, no, it was the white.
18:35Hey, it's okay.
18:36Look, don't worry.
18:37Easily changed and...
18:39There.
18:40No woman, no.
18:42Sure you're okay?
18:43Yes.
18:45I'm sorry.
18:47I worry about you.
18:48Well, don't.
18:49Okay?
18:50Not until we know for sure that there is something to worry about.
18:54Right.
18:55Look, do you want me to take it over?
18:56It's good.
18:57I've got this.
18:59Ah.
19:00Hey, hey, hey, hey.
19:02It's all right. It's okay.
19:03I've got you.
19:05Hmm.
19:09Er, Roy?
19:11What are you doing?
19:12Oh, just making one or two adjustments to the staff router.
19:17Right.
19:18And 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
19:29and ease myself into the more arduous aspects of cafe hospitality.
19:34Yeah, I should think so.
19:36You've only been back five minutes.
19:38Aye, well, the roads can wait.
19:43Yeah, well, anyways, it's just good to have you back home.
19:49Do you think it'd be all right to contact Dee Dee
19:52and see if there's been any progress in finding Lauren?
19:56Right, well, one text, no more than two sentences,
19:59and yes, you may use punctuation, but no emojis.
20:02Thank you very much.
20:04Bye.
20:10Hello there.
20:12Oh, hi.
20:13Is everything all right?
20:15Erm...
20:16Actually, have you got a minute to talk?
20:21I just need some more money. I mean, you can afford it.
20:24What's the big deal?
20:28You think money grows on trees?
20:31Some of us have to work to earn money.
20:34This is 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?
20:56Hey, I just got your messages. I was about to call you.
20:59I think we might have found her.
21:02Really?
21:03That's great.
21:04And you know the guess what?
21:06Apparently, she's pregnant.
21:12Where are you?
21:13Warrington.
21:14We're on our way to this run-down pub, The King's Arms.
21:17Apparently, she's living in a squat there.
21:20I could be there in half an hour.
21:21Why don't you wait and we'll check it out together?
21:24I'm not alone. Don't worry. Bethany's here.
21:26I still think it'd be safer if you wait till I get there.
21:29It could be dangerous.
21:30Maybe you could get a coffee. I won't be long.
21:33No, Joel. I don't want to risk her getting wind and moving on.
21:36All right, speak to you soon. Bye.
21:42Can I speak now?
21:45Out. Now.
21:47What?
21:48Get out of the car.
21:52You don't need to be like that. It's only a few quid to you.
21:55Just get out and close the door.
21:57You can't leave me. I don't know where I am.
21:59You drove. How am I going to get home?
22:01Get out!
22:24Is this about Betsy?
22:26Yeah.
22:28Thing is, it's not really working, her working at the factory.
22:32Right. What's she done now?
22:34Look, whatever it is, I'm sure we can sort it out.
22:37No. See, like, I've already cut her loads of slack
22:41and I've given her chance after chance,
22:43despite her not having any real experience.
22:46Yeah, I know, and I'm very grateful.
22:49Yeah, well, her way of thanking me is to take liberties and to threaten me.
22:54You see, she's not even there now. She's not even working.
22:57This is what I came to tell you.
22:59She's actually...
23:00Sorry, just two secs.
23:04This is her now.
23:06Betsy?
23:08What are you...?
23:10Where are you?
23:13Say that again.
23:16Stay where you are.
23:18What is it?
23:20I think she said Gable Street.
23:22What's she doing there? That's dangerous. Full of scumbags.
23:24I'm going to have to drive over and find her.
23:26OK, do you want me to help?
23:29Yeah, thank you.
23:34It was disgusting.
23:36Thank you, sir.
23:37And I'm not paying for it.
23:39If there was something wrong, you should have said before you ate it.
23:41You wolfed it down.
23:42I was hungry, and the portion was stingy.
23:45I wouldn't even give it a one-star review.
23:48A zero, if I could.
23:50Is there a problem, Nina?
23:52No, I can manage.
23:54As long as this man pays for his food.
23:56You go upstairs and rest.
23:58It was rank.
24:00I recall you.
24:03You come to Ogle at me again.
24:06Whisper about what a weirdo I am.
24:09Eh? Is he one of them web-sleuths from before?
24:13You look just as weird as him.
24:15A pair of weirdos.
24:17I bet you were in it together.
24:20Protecting his dirty secrets.
24:23Ah, no, no.
24:24By all means, direct your vitriol at me.
24:27Leave my niece out of this.
24:29But by the way, Lauren has been confirmed alive.
24:34Something I'm sure you'll find out.
24:37I also hope that you find the self-awareness that you currently lack
24:43and realise the negative effects of your actions.
24:46Now...
24:49..go away.
24:57This place sounds whelming.
25:00The garden, although small, has been described as a mini-kew,
25:04which is the Royal Botanic Gardens.
25:06No need to mansplain, Brian. I know what the kew is.
25:10I've heard Granny Linda banging on about it.
25:12A woman with fine taste.
25:15Well, if this comes off, you can come round,
25:17you can tan yourself in the weather-kew whenever you want.
25:20Why, thank you, Gemma.
25:22It's tragic that good people like you can't find a decent place to live,
25:26so I'm happy to help.
25:28Not all heroes wear keepsie.
25:30You know, I've always felt I'd look great in a cowl.
25:33Oh, is he here?
25:37Oh, no joy.
25:39I didn't even get a chance to see it.
25:41I turned up and there was a massive kew round the corner.
25:43No way.
25:44I stood there for a bit and the kew died down,
25:47but the estate agent came out and just said the house had gone.
25:51So quick.
25:52Thanks for the tip-off, though, Brian.
25:54I'm just sorry I didn't bear fruit.
25:56I'll keep a lookout if I hear of any other places.
26:00Don't panic, we'll find somewhere else.
26:02What if we don't? We're going to get evicted in a month.
26:06Oh, hi, Nina.
26:08How's Ryder been?
26:10He's OK. It's on the mend, but I'm still worried about him.
26:14Not sure how much rest he's going to get in here.
26:16Well, maybe he needs to go away for a bit.
26:18When I went on the retreat with the Institute,
26:20it did me the world of good.
26:22Anyway, give him your best, won't you?
26:24Yeah, yeah, I will.
26:26I got you a coffee. You deserve a much bigger reward.
26:29Oh, skinny milk?
26:30Of course.
26:31I just wanted to touch base.
26:33So, has Amy signed up for the retreat?
26:35She most certainly has.
26:36Oh, good. I think she'll get a lot from it.
26:38There's something else I want to talk to you about.
26:40We're thinking of setting up another resource centre in the near future.
26:43The others have done so well financially.
26:46Oh, well, bring it on.
26:48There might be a job for you, if you're interested.
26:52Oh, I can't. I've already got a full-time job.
26:56You could easily fit it around your bistro commitments.
27:00There is another option.
27:02Oh, yeah?
27:03You could be an investor. Help get it off the ground.
27:06What? You mean, like, invest my own money?
27:09Yeah, you'd soon get it back with a hefty profit.
27:12You should see the figures for the others.
27:14It would put you on a completely different level.
27:18Someone with your talent deserves a share of the profits.
27:21Oh, I'm really flattered, but I'd have to talk to Nick.
27:25But how much money are we talking?
27:2740K.
27:37Someone asking for you.
27:40Who is it?
27:41I don't know. I don't care.
27:43Go and see for yourself.
28:06How did he get in?
28:15Look, let's not scare her off by knocking again.
28:17He said he's going to get her.
28:19I know, but what is taking them so long?
28:21I don't know.
28:22It's pretty rough, isn't it?
28:24Yeah.
28:25So let's tread carefully. She is here.
28:32Hi, Jo.
28:33Yeah, I think we found her at this pub.
28:35I'm almost there.
28:36Okay, see you when you get there. Bye.
28:40Bethany! Bethany, wait!
28:50Is Lauren here?
28:53Yeah. You've just missed her.
28:56Looks like she's done another runner.
29:06Oh!
29:12I will scream if you come anywhere near me.
29:14I'm trying to help you. You don't have to hide from me.
29:17Stay away from me.
29:18Let's get in the car.
29:19Get away! Get off me!
29:20I'm just trying to help you. You need me.
29:22What? No, no.
29:27You're going to have to talk to me at some point about what happened.
29:30You've been giving me the runaround all day.
29:32Now you're doing it to your mum. It's not okay.
29:34Both of you going on and me back off.
29:36That is enough.
29:37What the hell were you doing there in the first place?
29:40It's not an area you should be hanging out in.
29:42But what was so important to you that you had to drop everything?
29:45Hmm?
29:51PHONE RINGS
29:53It's Wayne.
29:57Are you kidding?
30:00No, I'm on my way.
30:01This will have to wait till later. I need to get back to work.
30:04Thanks again, Carla. No problem.
30:10I'm sure it was something important.
30:13Am I really sacked?
30:19Come on, let's talk.
30:22Leave me alone.
30:23How many times do I need to tell you I care about you and the baby?
30:26How 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.
30:36She was hanging around here, then she fainted.
30:39Are you all right?
30:41Felt rubbish all day.
30:43Dizzy.
30:44But then my legs went from underneath me.
30:47I hope the baby's OK.
30:49So do I.
30:51I wish you would just stop running away like this.
30:56You hated me.
30:59Look, Chloe, we just...
31:01We want to understand what's happened that's made you run away all this time.
31:10I'm scared.
31:17I think we need to get you to an hospital. Come on.
31:22Let's get her in the car.
31:26Come on.
31:36Betsy, you!
31:37Blackmailing me.
31:38It's got to stop.
31:39Can I plug this in?
31:41Oh, yeah, what's this, a free bit of lecky?
31:43You know, when you've got me over a barrel anyway.
31:45You might need to think carefully before getting rid of me.
31:50You know what?
31:52No, you can't borrow this.
31:53Take your charger and your phone and shove it!
31:59I'm going to go and tell the police.
32:01And I don't care how much trouble I get in.
32:03I'm not being blackmailed by a kid like you.
32:05I was winding you up. I'm not a grass.
32:08Daddy, you deserve what you did to him.
32:11I saw what you did to your friend, Roy.
32:13You were just playing games with me.
32:14No, I admit it. I went too far with the blackmailing.
32:17Oh, finally, some accountability.
32:19Betsy, what you did was stupid.
32:21I know it was.
32:22I do stupid things when I'm back into a corner.
32:24Life's been rubbish for me lately,
32:26and this job is the first thing I've had in ages to look forward to.
32:31Let me guess, you've got other priorities.
32:33Not everything revolves around you, you know.
32:37Actually, I do have to deal with something.
32:40But, look, Betsy...
32:43..I will think about keeping you on.
32:45Yeah, if...
32:46You'd smooth things over with your mum. Just talk to her.
32:49She was out of her mind with Rory just then.
32:55Go on.
32:57Thanks, Carla.
33:06I really hope we get to the bottom of all this.
33:08We will.
33:09Unless she doesn't know the run-up.
33:11Yeah, she'll want to be in a very good way.
33:13Yeah, she'll want to be in a very good way, did she?
33:18Hi.
33:19Happy to report that Lauren and the baby are fine.
33:23Her fainting isn't uncommon in pregnancy,
33:25especially for standing, for any length of time.
33:28Right. She was also living in the squat,
33:30so, I mean, she probably hasn't been eating properly.
33:33OK, we'll keep her in overnight and do some scans and observations.
33:36Is she allowed to see visitors?
33:38She's just had an ultrasound, but I'll let you know when you can go in.
33:41So...
33:43I think I might wait till we can see her.
33:46Yeah, well, does anyone fancy a coffee?
33:48Yeah, please.
33:49I'd better get off, but I'll let Max and Bobby know that she's OK.
33:52I'll see you later. See you later.
33:54I'm going to give Rory an update and I'll...
33:56Yeah, and I'll get that coffee.
34:02Do you think she should take the day off work?
34:04I've told you, I'm fine, OK? I want to work.
34:06Yeah, but you're not fit to work.
34:08Hi. I've got some really exciting news.
34:13Everything OK?
34:14Oh, he's trying to make me have the day off work.
34:16Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:19Really? It's no big deal, OK? He's being overcautious.
34:22Anyway, you said you had some exciting news?
34:25Oh, he can wait.
34:27No, I'm OK. Honestly, what's the news?
34:29Rory wants me to invest in a new resource centre.
34:33Oh. What, invest as in coffer money?
34:36It's a really exciting opportunity.
34:38And the centres don't lose money. I'd get a share of the profits.
34:41So I've already rang the bank manager and asked him about remortgaging...
34:44Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:46Over my dead body. You're not doing that without my permission.
34:48No, that's what I want to talk to you about.
34:50No, no, there's other things to worry about.
34:52Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:54Come on, we should be focusing on her.
34:57Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. I'm being really selfish. I'm sorry.
35:01Is there anything I can get you, Taya?
35:03Well, I'd feel a lot better if you weren't banging on about the institute all the time.
35:07Yeah. You know, we shouldn't be thinking about new business, all right?
35:11Yeah, OK. Well, I'll tell Rowan, then.
35:17What kind of man leaves a vulnerable girl in the middle of nowhere in a dodgy area?
35:20A creep, that's who.
35:23DOOR OPENS
35:30Hey, I need to speak to you about something.
35:33Roy, where are you going?
35:35Warrington Hospital. Dee Dee tells me that Lauren's there.
35:38Morning, me. Morning, Carla.
35:41I don't think you've heard about Lauren. I have, yeah.
35:43Yeah, that's where he's going now. What?
35:45No, you've got to stay away from her.
35:47Yeah, she's right. You need to take things slowly.
35:50Anyway, I've spoken to Kathy, and she's invited you to stay in Scarborough.
35:54And, you know, I think it'll be good, a change of scenery.
35:57Gives you a chance to rest.
36:01We've had some happy times here, haven't we? I don't want to leave.
36:05We'll have happy times wherever we live.
36:07We can't have the kids living somewhere that's not safe.
36:10I mean, how do houses get damp and mouldy?
36:13It's like living in Victorian times.
36:16Anyway, I've spoken to Linda, and she said that Joseph can live with her for a bit,
36:19in her new place in Manchester.
36:21If need be, he can still go to Orkney.
36:26Gemma, it isn't me picking him over the others.
36:28It just might speed things up if we're looking for a place with one less person.
36:32But he's the only one of the kids that she's interested in.
36:36I 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.
36:43We're a family. We stay together.
37:03What are you doing?
37:04Oh, just slaving away, as per.
37:07Oh, you don't strike me as the diligent type.
37:10Oh, it's over time, babes.
37:13Why'd you try and hide it when I came in?
37:15What, like a T-shirt, not knickers?
37:18You want to get your eyesight checked. You're seeing things.
37:22Are you making counterfeit gear?
37:26No.
37:28You're defo up to something.
37:37Most people complain about the food in here.
37:39Good to see someone's enjoying it.
37:41I'm starving.
37:43You eating properly?
37:45Pregnant women need to look after their blood sugar.
37:48What, even skimp pregnant women?
37:54Life's not great at the minute.
37:57I keep having to move.
38:02From the minute I found out I was pregnant,
38:05I knew I had to give this baby a life I never had.
38:09Protect him.
38:11Is he having a boy?
38:13I just hope it's a boy.
38:16It'll be easier for him.
38:18I can see how much you love him already.
38:21So, please, don't be too hard on yourself.
38:26Messed up.
38:28Do you want to talk about it?
38:32Denise?
38:33Denise?
38:38I can assure you, whatever led you here can be sorted.
38:52Please don't press that.
38:55What the hell are you doing here?
39:00No Beth?
39:01I did text her.
39:02She says she's volunteering in a soup kitchen.
39:05That's not like Beth.
39:06Oh, yeah.
39:07She cares deeply about people who are less fortunate than her.
39:09She says she might climb out Kilimanjaro next year.
39:13Do you mind if I join you?
39:15Course. 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.
39:29Welcome to the Institute.
39:31Thank you.
39:32This is why you're having a celebration drink.
39:34You are going to get so much out of this.
39:36It was my mum wanting me to run the shop that really clinched it.
39:39I wanted to do great. This gives me loads of contacts.
39:42Well, Leanne is going to give you the course details.
39:45I need to run.
39:47Thanks, Rowan.
39:48I just need to have a quick word with him before he goes.
39:51Er, Rowan?
39:52I just thought you should know
39:54we won't be able to invest in the new centre.
39:57I'm sorry to hear that.
39:59I'm guessing Nick was opposed.
40:01Yeah, yeah, he was, but I agree with him.
40:04Investing that amount of money, it's got to be a joint decision.
40:07Don't just give up.
40:09Amy 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?
40:30He obviously feels threatened by your success with us.
40:35I'm sorry, I've overstepped the mark. I apologise.
40:38No, no, he's just protective, that's all, and I quite like that.
40:42I mean, it can be a bit stifling sometimes.
40:44Someone ought to tug his lead.
40:46Make him see what he has to lose.
40:48SHE SIGHS
40:54Yeah, I've just arrived at the hospital now.
40:58No, I'm going to find a doctor.
41:00See 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,
41:12but I don't believe you.
41:14No way.
41:15I can't go to prison.
41:20What good would that do for you or our baby?
41:28I know the police are on their way.
41:31When you talk to them...
41:34..I want you to lie.
41:37What, I'm getting some more trouble?
41:39I want you to say it was Nathan Curtis who attacked you.
41:45It was Nathan Curtis?
41:46He's already in prison for breaching his HPSO.
41:48They think he's responsible for your disappearance.
41:51Yeah, but he hadn't had to do with it, did he?
41:53Well, neither did Roy Cropper.
41:55But the police still charged him.
41:59So you tell the police you made a huge mistake
42:02and you've regretted it ever since,
42:04and crucially, you do not want to take things any further.
42:09You might be able to lie through your teeth.
42:12Lauren, it gives me no pleasure saying this,
42:14but you have got no-one in this world looking out for you,
42:17otherwise you wouldn't be living in a squat
42:19not knowing when your next meal is.
42:24This isn't good for you or the baby.
42:28I want to help you.
42:33But on your terms,
42:35you will be the one calling the shots.
42:39All you need to do is tell the police you started chatting on Ovid.
42:44He was one of your subscribers.
42:46You started meeting up and then things got messy.
42:52Lauren, you can still hate me,
42:55but why not do it from a nice flat,
42:59paid for by me?
43:02Somewhere you and the baby will be safe.
43:09Oh, hi. Hi.
43:11I'm looking for Lauren Bolton.
43:13Oh, she's in there.
43:15Is she still in there?
43:18OK, right.
43:20My name's Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain
43:22and I'm from Weatherfield Police Station.
43:24Am I OK to come in?
43:26Yeah, it's fine.
43:28Great, thank you.
43:30Thank you.
43:42Hi, Lauren.
43:46I'm Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain.
43:54I'm hoping to finally get some answers about what happened to you.
44:00I'm hoping to finally get some answers about what happened to you.
