00:00["Pomp and Circumstance"]
00:22OK, so that's booked. You'll send me a confirmation email.
00:42Thank you. Have a nice day. Friday the 27th?
00:50Yeah. Shame we couldn't get a Saturday.
00:56People 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.
01:05Hey, your divorce will have gone through by then.
01:08Absolutely. Are you sure?
01:10I'm so sure. I'm going to transfer the five grand deposit right now.
01:13You'll split the costs, yeah? Well, I don't want your dad to feel bad.
01:18All he wants is for me to be happy.
01:21Well, all I want is for you to be happy.
01:25Hey, we'd better get started on our vows, then.
01:28Vows? I'm happy with the traditional love and cherish stuff, aren't you?
01:33Well, yeah, but it's our one chance to express our feelings in front of our friends and family, in front of God.
01:39I thought you'd want the traditional things. In sickness and in health, till death do us part. You can't get much bigger than that.
01:45I do want tradition. I just... I want it to be personal, too.
01:49You know, I want it to be special.
01:52It will be, I promise.
01:56Right, we'd better get a wriggle on. I told Bethany I'd meet her in a cafe later.
01:59You know, I'm not sure about encouraging her amateur detective thing, Joel.
02:03I want the police to find Lauren, too, but... I don't know.
02:07Plus, we have got a whole list of jobs to start. I mean, it's not just the vows.
02:11There are guest lists, menus, you've got to try on some pop-arts.
02:14Right, well, first, I represented Nathan, the man who raped her, so I feel like I owe her.
02:18And second, me, in a top hat.
02:21You're just doing your job. I love that you care about people.
02:26And if we find her, that absolutely nails Roy's innocence.
02:29You're a good man.
02:31I try.
02:33And that is exactly why I am marrying you on Friday the 27th of September.
02:38Why don't you put that in your vows?
02:41Yeah, 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.
02:46Oh, thanks, but I'm just going to take the buddy.
02:48Oh, are you?
02:50Well, park the far side of the car park, because nobody likes parking near the scapes of Sting, woman.
02:54Oh, thanks for the tip.
02:56You 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.
03:04Morning, boss.
03:06Oh, you're early today.
03:08Oh, Mum just dropped me off. Her idea, not mine.
03:10She likes an early start, so much to do.
03:13Missing girls, assaulted local boys.
03:16There you go.
03:17Thanks.
03:18Do you mind if I have some brekkie in here before I come in to work?
03:21Er, yeah, go on then.
03:23Er, except I 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?
03:38Although I'm not sure she needs to be in today.
03:40Well, maybe she just wants to keep busy.
03:44Oh, my ears are burning.
03:46Yeah, because we're talking about you.
03:48No, I just got my head too close to that eye-level grill and they're really warm.
03:51At least she's not lost her sense of humour.
03:54Look, are you sure you want to be in today?
03:56We can manage without you.
03:58What I want is for you both to stop treating me with kid gloves, OK?
04:01I'm fine, and working helps take my mind off the other stuff.
04:05OK, well, whatever you want to do, then that's what we'll do.
04:08Thanks. Well, I'll get back to the kitchen
04:10and you can carry on talking about me behind my back.
04:14At least she seems in good spirits.
04:16Fingers crossed.
04:18I'm going to make some phone call.
04:20Hi.
04:21Hi, how are things?
04:23Yeah, OK.
04:24I was just wondering if you'd spoken to Amy.
04:26I sent her some info on the business retreat, but she's not gotten back to me.
04:30Oh, I think Amy might be cooling.
04:33Really?
04:34Yeah, I... Well, it's my fault.
04:36I showed her Oliver's AI and I think it might have spooked her.
04:39You made it clear that's only one of our many techniques
04:42and opportunities we can offer.
04:44Well, I didn't really get the chance. She...
04:46She shut me down.
04:48Oh. I've always admired your tenacity.
04:51Surprised you gave up so easily.
04:53No, I've not given up. I will speak to her.
04:55It's just I'm gearing myself up for a final push.
04:58I was so right to put my faith in you.
05:01Sorry.
05:02Well done.
05:04Coffee?
05:05Yeah, please.
05:09Well, I thought your business study degree
05:11would have covered bookkeeping and accountancy.
05:14It does, but it's obviously not prepared me
05:16for my mother's unique attitude towards numbers.
05:18Oh, well, I would offer to help,
05:20but I've never been very good with numbers.
05:22You know, I prefer the more creative side of life.
05:26Numbers are so cold, soulless.
05:29You know, I prefer the soft, the tender, the warm.
05:33How about you take your soft soul over to the shop
05:36whilst I try and make sense of these books?
05:38Good idea. Let's play to our strengths.
05:41Now, I'm looking for patterns, but I can't see anything.
05:45Hmm. Leicester's a big place when you're looking for one person.
05:49She was using your credit card details.
05:51She must have known one day
05:53someone would try and trace her movements.
05:55Well, yeah, but the card's been stopped.
05:57She's been living. How has she bought food?
06:09Of course, she might not be in Leicester.
06:12After risking going to see Roy at the hospital,
06:14she might have wanted to get as far away as she could.
06:17Or maybe she's feeling braver.
06:19Maybe she's closer than we think.
06:21Any joy? Not yet.
06:24Yeah, we'll keep going. Craig was in earlier.
06:26I pestered him to put a rocket under the police search.
06:28I mean, the more people looking for her, the sooner we'll find her.
06:31And that way, we'll know exactly why she put Roy through this nightmare.
06:39All right, thanks anyway. Bye.
06:44Oh! How can he be gone already?
06:47Because it was big enough for a family.
06:49For once, we could afford the rent.
06:51We're not the only people looking for accommodation.
06:53Yeah, but how many other people are about to get kicked out of their own home?
06:56Hey, something will come up.
06:58Will it?
07:00Yeah, I spoke to Billy.
07:02He said that the council will put us on a waiting list
07:04and we'll be entitled to emergency housing in the meantime,
07:06so we're not going to go homeless yet.
07:08I know.
07:10But we've got the kids and the school.
07:12Apple. We don't need this.
07:16I feel like I've let you down.
07:18Can't even put a roof over our heads.
07:20Hey, no, you and me, we're a team, yeah?
07:23Even 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?
07:37No, 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.
07:50Flippin' heck.
07:52Take it the search ain't going well.
07:54Oh, I didn't hear you come in.
07:56Yeah, it's one of my many hidden talents.
07:58I can be stealthy like a ninja when I want to be.
08:01You OK?
08:03I'm just frustrated.
08:07Well, let's hope the police are having more luck, eh?
08:10Anyway, how many people have you told?
08:14Told what?
08:16That we've set a date.
08:18Are they new 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.
08:48How 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.
09:05See you later.
09:16DOOR CLOSES
09:26These are very neat, you know.
09:28Works all she's done all morning.
09:30And 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.
09:38But she's still trying to get her head round what's expected of her,
09:41you know, in a workplace.
09:43Hmm, I thought maybe you could choose a different worker for us to shadow.
09:47But she's learning so much from you, Beth.
09:50Sorry to interrupt, but Bexie has a request.
09:52What request?
09:53I need to leave early for lunch.
09:55We 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.
10:16Need 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,
11:19but 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.
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.
11:48We?
11:50Well, I'm free all day, if you want some help.
11:53Yeah, 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.
12:38Has the doctor come to see you yet?
12:41Oh, he's already been.
12:43What did he say?
12:45Oh, well, the usual checks, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature,
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,
13:21discharge summary that he sends to the GP.
13:24So can you come home?
13:26I believe so, yes.
13:27Right, well, do you want me to help you get dressed, then?
13:30I don't think so.
13:32Right, well, I'll pull the curtain back
13:34and 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
13:51to find the vicious thug who assaulted her son.
13:53I feel terrible about what happened.
13:55No, it didn't just happen.
13:56You whacked him with a car door.
13:57Oh, now you're exaggerating.
13:59I'm saving your skin.
14:01Buy me a new phone.
14:03You can only push me so far, you know.
14:05No problem, I've got someone else who'll buy me things.
14:08Really? Another blackmail victim?
14:09Wouldn't you like to know?
14:11Anyway, love to chat before I'm off for lunch.
14:13I said half an hour.
14:14What'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.
14:27Seriously?
14:29You seriously think I'd let a teenager walk all over me, hmm?
14:32Get back to work, Bess.
14:37Girls have a responsibility.
14:39They'll put you on a waiting list for temporary accommodation.
14:41And if that doesn't come through in time,
14:43you're entitled to emergency housing.
14:45Yeah, that's what Billy said, innit?
14:47It'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
15:18and 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.
15:42I don't like being away from my home.
15:45If this doesn't work out, something else will turn up.
15:49Did you see her face when you showed her the picture of Lauren?
15:52Yeah. Then she said she's not seen 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.
16:02Yeah, me too.
16:03And I think you're right, I think she's around here somewhere.
16:06Excuse me.
16:07Did I hear you mention a woman called Lauren?
16:10Er, yeah.
16:11Yeah, we're her friends.
16:12But we know she's scared, but we just want to find her and help her.
16:15I've seen her, Ria.
16:17Really?
16:19I'm happy she can trust us.
16:21Maybe you can speak to her and tell her that Didi and Bethany just want to help her.
16:25Yeah, or if you know where she's living.
16:27I'm not sure I should say anything.
16:29Look, if she doesn't want to meet face to face, that's fine,
16:32but maybe you could get her to call us, we can give you our numbers.
16:35Please, we just want to help.
16:38There's a pub, King's Arms, about a mile from here.
16:42It's closed down and I know a few people are squatting there.
16:45She might be there.
16:46Thank you so much.
16:47You are her friends?
16:49Yeah, yeah, we are.
16:50I hope you are.
16:51Can't be too careful, not with a pregnant kid alone on the streets.
16:55Best of luck.
17:08Hi.
17:09Is it a bad time?
17:11No, just going round in circles with these accounts.
17:14I'd buy my mother if she was here, but she's not.
17:16And also Mary's not exactly good with numbers.
17:18Or reality.
17:19Well, I could always take a look if you want.
17:22I don't know.
17:24Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday.
17:28I shouldn't have shown you all of his AI.
17:30He was your brother as well as my son.
17:33And to be honest with you, you're not the only one who thinks it's a bit weird.
17:36You should have seen the looks Toya and Nick gave me.
17:39I didn't mean to suggest that you were weird.
17:43Well, anyway, I just wanted to say, don't let it put you off the Institute.
17:48They really can help you in so many ways, all tailored to our own individual needs.
17:54Like some better accountancy skills.
17:56Yeah, exactly.
17:58And I'd be happy to help.
18:02How much would it cost me?
18:04Well, make us a brew and we'll call it quits.
18:07Okay, thanks.
18:09But 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.
18:23Er, yeah, is that for table six?
18:26Yeah.
18:27I thought they ordered the whites on this here.
18:29No, it's red.
18:30You sure?
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, er...
18:40No woman, no.
18:43You sure you're okay?
18:44Yes.
18:46I'm sorry.
18:48I worry about you.
18:49Well, don't, okay?
18:51Not until we know for sure that there is something to worry about.
18:55Right, look, do you want me to take it over?
18:56It's good. I've got this.
19:00Er...
19:01Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
19:02It's all right, it's okay. I've got you.
19:05Hmm.
19:10Er, Roy?
19:12What are you doing?
19:13Oh, just making one or two adjustments to the staff router.
19:18Right.
19:19And remember what the doctor said to you again?
19:21Well, there is nothing stressful with a little light admin.
19:26And, you know, I'm happy to take my time to recuperate
19:30and ease myself into the more arduous aspects of cafe hospitality.
19:35Yeah, I should think so.
19:37I'll be back in five minutes.
19:39Aye, well, the router 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 Deedee?
19:52See 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.
20:03Thank you very much.
20:08DOOR KNOCKS
20:10Alan?
20:12Oh, hi.
20:13Is everything all right? Erm...
20:16I don't know, 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.
20:34Why is this such a problem for you?
20:36Look at your car, your suit, you 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.
20:45PHONE RINGS
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.
21:11Where are you?
21:13Warrington. We'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, why don't you wait and we'll check it out together?
21:24I'm not alone, don't worry, Bethany's here.
21:27I still think it'd be safer if you wait till I get there, it could be dangerous.
21:30Maybe you could get a coffee, I won't be long.
21:32No, Joel, I don't want to risk her getting wind and moving on.
21:35All right, speak to you soon, bye.
21:41Can I speak now?
21:44Out. Now.
21:46What?
21:48Get out of the car.
21:51You don't need to be like that, it's only a few quid to you.
21:54Just get out and close the door.
21:56You can't leave me, I don't know where I am.
21:58You drove, how am I going to get home?
22:00Get out!
22:02Get out!
22:25Is this about Betsy?
22:27Yeah.
22:29Thing is, it's not really working, her working at the factory.
22:33Right, what's she done now?
22:35Look, whatever it is, I'm sure we can sort it out.
22:38No, see, like, I've already cut her loads of slack and I've given her chance after chance,
22:44despite her not having any real experience.
22:47Yeah, I know, and I'm very grateful.
22:50Yeah, 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.
22:57What?
22:58This is what I came to tell you.
23:00She's actually...
23:01Sorry, 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.
23:21I think she said Gable Street.
23:23What's she doing there? That's dangerous, full of scumbags.
23:25I'm going to have to drive over and find her.
23:27OK, do you want me to help?
23:29Two is better than one.
23:31Yeah, thank you.
23:35It was disgusting.
23:37Thank you, sir.
23:38And I'm not paying for it.
23:40If there was something wrong, you should have said before you ate it.
23:42You wolfed it down.
23:43I was hungry, and the portion was stingy.
23:46I wouldn't even give it a one-star review.
23:49A zero, if I could.
23:51Is there a problem, Nina?
23:53No, I can manage.
23:55As long as this man pays for his food.
23:57You go upstairs and rest.
23:59It was rank.
24:01I recall you.
24:04You come to Ogle at me again.
24:07Whisper about what a weirdo I am.
24:10Eh? Is he one of them web-sleuths from before?
24:13You look just as weird as him.
24:16A pair of weirdos.
24:17A pair of weirdos.
24:19I bet you're in it together.
24:22Protecting his dirty secrets.
24:24Ah, no, no.
24:26By all means, direct your vitriol at me.
24:29Leave my niece out of this.
24:31But, by the way, Lauren has been confirmed alive.
24:36Something I'm sure you'll find out.
24:39I also hope that you find the self-awareness that you currently lack
24:44and realise the negative effects of your actions.
24:48Now, go away.
24:58This place sounds whelming.
25:02The garden, although small, has been described as a mini-kew,
25:06which is the Royal Botanic Gardens.
25:08No need to mansplain, Brian. I know what the kew is.
25:11I've heard Granny Linda banging on about it.
25:14A woman with fine taste.
25:16Well, if this comes off, you can come round,
25:19you can tan yourself in the weather-kew whenever you want.
25:22Why, thank you, Gemma.
25:24It's tragic that good people like you can't find a decent place to live,
25:28so I'm happy to help.
25:30Not all heroes wear keepsie.
25:32You know, I've always felt I'd look great in a cowl.
25:35Oh, is he here?
25:36Oh, no joy.
25:38I didn't even get a chance to see it.
25:40I turned up and there was a massive kew round the corner.
25:43No way.
25:45I stood there for a bit and the kew died down,
25:47but the estate agent came out and just said the house had gone.
25:50So 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.
25:59Don't panic, we'll find somewhere else.
26:02What if we don't? We're going to get evicted in a moment.
26:04What if we don't? We're going to get evicted in a moment.
26:08Oh, hi, Nina.
26:10How's Roy doing?
26:12He's OK. It's on the men.
26:14I'm still worried about him.
26:16Not sure how much rest he's going to get in here.
26:18Well, maybe he needs to go away for a bit.
26:20When I went on the retreat with the Institute, it did me the world of good.
26:23Anyway, give him your best, won't you?
26:25Yeah, yeah, I will.
26:27I got you a coffee.
26:29You deserve a much bigger reward.
26:31Oh, skinny milk?
26:32I just wanted to touch base.
26:34So, has Amy signed up for the retreat?
26:36She most certainly has.
26:38Oh, good. I think she'll get a lot from it.
26:40There's something else I want to talk to you about.
26:42We're thinking of setting up another resource centre in the near future.
26:45The others have done so well financially.
26:48Oh, well, bring it on.
26:50There might be a job for you, if you're interested.
26:54Oh, I can't. I've already got a full-time job.
26:57You could easily fit it around your bistro commitments.
27:00There is another option.
27:02Oh, yeah?
27:04You could be an investor. Help get it off the ground.
27:07What? You mean, like, invest my own money?
27:10Yeah, you'd soon get it back with a hefty profit.
27:13You should see the figures for the others.
27:16It would put you on a completely different level.
27:19Someone with your talent deserves a share of the profits.
27:22Oh, I'm really flattered, but I'd have to talk to Nick.
27:26But how much money are we talking?
27:2740k.
27:38Someone's asking for you.
27:40Who is it?
27:42I don't know. I don't care. Go and see for yourself.
27:57Hi.
28:16Look, let's not scare her off by knocking again.
28:19They said he's gone to get her.
28:21I know, but what is taking them so long?
28:23I don't know.
28:25It's pretty rough, isn't it?
28:27Carefully. She is here.
28:33Hi, Joel. Yeah, I think we found her at this pub.
28:37I'm almost there.
28:39OK, see you when you get there. Bye.
28:42Bethany! Bethany, wait!
28:52Is Lauren here?
28:54Yeah. You've just missed her.
28:57Looks like she's done another runner.
29:13I will scream if you come anywhere near me.
29:16I'm trying to help you. You don't have to hide from me.
29:19Stay away from me.
29:21Let's get in the car.
29:23Can we? Get off me.
29:25I'm just trying to help you. You need me.
29:28You're going to have to talk to me at some point about what happened.
29:32You've been giving me the run around all day.
29:34Now you're doing it to your mum. It's not OK.
29:36Both of you going on and me back off.
29:38That is enough.
29:40What 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?
29:54It's Wayne.
29:58Are you kidding?
30:01No, I'm on my way.
30:04This will have to wait till later. I need to get back to work.
30:07Thanks again, Carla.
30:08No problem.
30:13I'm sure it was something important.
30:15Am I really sad?
30:21Come on, let's talk.
30:24Leave me alone.
30:25How many times do I need to tell you I care about you and the baby?
30:29Keep quiet about everything and I promise I'll make it worth your while.
30:32Hey, you found her.
30:34She hadn't gotten far.
30:36She was hanging around here then she fainted.
30:38Are you all right?
30:40Felt rubbish all day.
30:42Dizzy.
30:44But then my legs went from underneath me.
30:46I hope the baby's OK.
30:48So do I.
30:50I wish you would just stop running away like this.
30:52I thought you hated me.
30:55Look, Lauren, we just...
30:57We want to understand what's happened that's made you run away all this time.
31:07I'm scared.
31:13All right, I think we need to get you to an hospital. Come on.
31:17I don't want to go.
31:18All right, I think we need to get you to an hospital. Come on.
31:22Come on.
31:24Let's get her in the car.
31:37Patsy, you! Blackmailing me.
31:40It's got to stop.
31:42Can I plug this in?
31:44Oh, yeah, what's the free bit of lecky, you know, when you've got me over a barrel anyway?
31:46You might need to think carefully before getting rid of me.
31:51You know what?
31:53No, you can't borrow this.
31:55Take your charger and your phone and shove it!
32:01I'm going to go and tell the police.
32:03And I don't care how much trouble I get in.
32:05I'm not being blackmailed by a kid like you.
32:07I was winding you up. I'm not a grass.
32:10Daddy, you deserve what you did to him.
32:12I saw what you did to your friend, Roy.
32:14You were just playing games with me.
32:16No, I admit it. I went too far with the blackmailing.
32:19Oh, finally. Some accountability.
32:22Betsy, what you did was stupid.
32:25I 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.
32:33Let me guess, you've got other priorities.
32:36Not everything revolves around you, you know.
32:39Actually, I do have to deal with something.
32:41But look, Betsy.
32:44I will think about keeping you on.
32:46Yeah, if.
32:49You'd smooth things over with your mum. Just talk to her.
32:52She was out of her mind with Rory just then.
32:57Go on.
32:59Thanks, Carla.
33:08I really hope we get to the bottom of all this.
33:09We will.
33:11Unless she does another runner.
33:13Yeah, she looked to be in a very good way, did she?
33:18Hi.
33:20Happy 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,
33:31so, 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 Betsy?
33:37She's just had an ultrasound, but I'll let you know when you can go in.
33:40Sir.
33:42I think I might wait till we can see her.
33:45Yeah, well, does anyone fancy a coffee?
33:47Yeah, please.
33:49I'd better get off, but I'll let Max and Bobby know that she's OK.
33:51I'll see you later.
33:53See you later.
33:55I'm going to give Rory an update and I'll...
33:57Yeah, and I'll get that coffee.
34:01Do you think she'd take the day off work?
34:04I've told you, I'm fine, OK?
34:05I want to work.
34:07Yeah, but you're not fit to work.
34:09Hi. I've got some really exciting news.
34:13Everything OK?
34:15Oh, he's trying to make me have the day off work.
34:17Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:19Really? It's no big deal, OK?
34:21He's being overcautious.
34:23Anyway, you said you had some exciting news?
34:25Oh, it can wait.
34:27No, I'm OK, honestly.
34:29What's the news?
34:31Rory wants me to invest in a new resource centre.
34:33Oh.
34:35What, invest as in coffer money?
34:37It's a really exciting opportunity.
34:39And the centres don't lose money.
34:41I'd get a share of the profits.
34:43So I've already rang the bank manager and asked him about remortgaging...
34:46Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:48Over my dead body.
34:50You're not doing that without my permission.
34:52No, that's what I want to talk to you about.
34:54No, no, there's other things to worry about.
34:56Your sister almost collapsed at work.
34:58Come on, we should be focusing on her.
35:00Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
35:02I'm being really selfish. I'm sorry.
35:03Is there anything I can get you, Taya?
35:05Well, I'd feel a lot better if you weren't banging on about the institute all the time.
35:08Yeah.
35:10You know, we shouldn't be thinking about new business, all right?
35:12Yeah, OK.
35:14Well, I'll tell Rowan, then.
35:18What kind of man leaves a vulnerable girl in the middle of nowhere in a dodgy area?
35:22A creep, that's who.
35:24Hey, I need to speak to you about something.
35:26Roy?
35:28Where are you going?
35:30Warrington Hospital. Dee Dee tells me that Lorna's there.
35:32Only me.
35:34Hi, Carla.
35:36I don't think you've heard about Lorna.
35:38I have, yeah.
35:40Yeah, that's where he's going now.
35:42What? No, you've got to stay away from her.
35:44Yeah, she's right.
35:46You need to take things slowly.
35:48Anyway, I've spoken to her.
35:50She's fine.
35:51She's fine, really.
35:53Anyway, I've spoken to Kathy.
35:55She's invited you to stay in Scarborough.
35:57And, you know, I think it'll be good.
35:59A change of scenery.
36:01Gives you a chance to rest.
36:03We'll have some happy times here, won't we?
36:05I don't want to leave.
36:07We'll have happy times wherever we live.
36:09We can't have the kids living somewhere that's not safe.
36:12Oh, yeah.
36:14Our houses get damp and mouldy.
36:16It's like living in Victorian times.
36:18Anyway, I spoke to Linda.
36:19She 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.
36:27Gemma, it isn't me picking him over the others.
36:30It just might speed things up
36:32if 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.
36:38I don't want to split the family up,
36:40even if it's just for a few weeks.
36:42Well, neither do I.
36:44But we might have no other option.
36:46We're a family!
36:47We'll be together!
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 over time, babes.
37:15Why did you try and hide it when I came in?
37:17Well, like a T-shirt, not knickers.
37:19You want to get your eyesight checked.
37:21You're seeing things.
37:23Are you making counterfeit gear?
37:27No!
37:30Your deaf are up to something.
37:38Most people complain about the food in here.
37:40Good to see someone's enjoying it.
37:43I'm starving.
37:45You eating properly?
37:47Pregnant women need to look after their blood sugar.
37:50What, even skim pregnant women?
37:56Life's not great at the minute.
37:58I keep having to move.
38:03From the minute I found out I was pregnant,
38:06I knew I had to give this baby a life I never had.
38:11Protect him.
38:13Is he having a boy?
38:15I just hope it's a boy.
38:18It'll be easier for him.
38:20I can see how much you love him already.
38:23So please, don't be too hard on yourself.
38:28I've messed up.
38:30Do you want to talk about it?
38:33Denise?
38:39I can assure you, whatever led you here can be sorted.
38:48Please don't press that.
38:51What the hell are you doing here?
38:55No Beth?
38:57I did text her.
38:59She says she's volunteering in a soup kitchen.
39:01That's not like Beth.
39:03Oh, yeah.
39:05She cares deeply about people who are less fortunate than her.
39:07She says she might climb out Kilimanjaro next year.
39:10Do you mind if I join you?
39:12Of course.
39:13Red wine, is it?
39:15No, no.
39:17I think I might push the boat out and have a dirty martini
39:19if they've got any olives.
39:21I think Daisy gets them in.
39:23I think I might have a clean pint of lager.
39:27Welcome to the Institute.
39:29Thank you.
39:31This is why you're having a celebration drink.
39:33You are going to get so much out of this.
39:35It was my mum wanting me to run the shop that really clinched it.
39:37I wanted to do great.
39:39This gives me loads of contacts.
39:40Well, Leanne is going to give you the course details.
39:42I need to run.
39:44Thanks, Rowan.
39:46I just need to have a quick word with him before he goes.
39:48Er, Rowan.
39:51I just thought you should know
39:53we won't be able to invest in the new centre.
39:55Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
39:57I'm guessing Nick was opposed.
39:59Yeah.
40:01Yeah, he was, but I agree with him.
40:03Investing that amount of money,
40:05it's got to be a joint decision.
40:07Don't just give up hope.
40:08Don't just give up.
40:10Amy took some persuading to get on board.
40:13I 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
40:19that it's not just about money.
40:21It's about your happiness.
40:23Well, it's how I feel, genuinely.
40:27Do you think it's possible you've outgrown him?
40:29He obviously feels threatened by your success with us.
40:34I'm sorry.
40:36I've overstepped the mark.
40:38I apologise.
40:40No, no, he's just protective, that's all.
40:42And I quite like that.
40:44I mean, it can be a bit stifling sometimes.
40:46Someone ought to tug his lead.
40:48Make him see what he has to lose.
40:56Yeah.
40:58I've just arrived at the hospital now.
41:00No, I'm going to find a doctor.
41:02See if I can interview her.
41:05I know you're still angry with me.
41:07I can see that I will carry the shame of this.
41:11You're trying to wiggle your way out of it.
41:13But I don't believe you.
41:15No way.
41:17I can't go to prison.
41:21What good would that do for you or our baby?
41:30I know the police are on their way.
41:32When you talk to them,
41:33I 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.
41:44It 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 had nothing to do with it, did he?
41:53Well, neither did Roy Cropper.
41:55But the police still charged him.
41:58So you tell the police
42:00you made a huge mistake,
42:02and you've regretted it ever since.
42:04And crucially,
42:06you 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.
42:23This isn't good for you or the baby.
42:27I'll go.
42:29I want to help you.
42:34But on your terms,
42:36you will be the one calling the shots.
42:42All you need to do
42:44is tell the police you started chatting on Ovid.
42:47He was one of your subscribers.
42:49You started meeting up,
42:51and then things got messy.
42:55Lauren, you can still hate me.
42:59But why not do it from a nice flat
43:02paid for
43:04by me?
43:06Somewhere you
43:08and the baby will be safe.
43:12Oh, hi.
43:14I'm looking for Lauren Bolton.
43:21Okay, right.
43:23My name's Detective Sergeant Lisa Swayne.
43:25I'm from Weatherfield Police Station.
43:28Is it okay to come in?
43:30Yeah, it's fine.
43:32Great, thank you.
