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