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