00:00MUSIC
00:29Larry, leave off.
00:30Dad, tell him.
00:31Do you see nerves getting to your barn?
00:33No, just using the study break to give him a note's a final pass.
00:37Anyway, why are you in such a good mood?
00:39Another girl, is it?
00:40She ain't just another girl.
00:42Here, what if you go blank on the day?
00:44Do you just fail?
00:45Dad!
00:46Stop winding your brother up.
00:48Look, you may be rubbish at cards, but you are going to ace these exams.
00:52Ain't he, love?
00:54Right, Dad.
00:56He's left his brain in bed.
00:58Look, you get to that library.
01:00No pressure, sweetheart, but it would be nice to have a son with at least one GCSE.
01:05So, you're smitten with this Gina girl, are you?
01:09You'll always be my number one.
01:11You liar.
01:18Don't look so worried.
01:20It's sorted, ain't it?
01:22I didn't hear you come in last night.
01:24I didn't want to wake you, Nick.
01:26Where were you then, eh?
01:28I ain't had a peep out of NG.
01:31You better have stuck to the plane.
01:33Turn it off.
01:35I changed the plan.
01:39Are you sure this ain't decaf?
01:41Or do a silver bottle, Vinnie?
01:42I ain't your semi-brill.
01:43Drink as much as you like.
01:44Caffeine don't cure stupid.
01:46Oh, give over, Ravi.
01:48I haven't deserved everything you've got.
01:50Yeah, but why?
01:54Because I want to know when Dad's not going far.
01:57I've only needs to focus on her GCSEs, not have you stirring up more trouble with the police.
02:02Abi?
02:02More milk.
02:04And thank you both for the parenting advice.
02:07Why ain't you stupid?
02:08Ronnie never has to know.
02:13What, you're keeping more secrets from me?
02:15Another delay on site?
02:20Yeah.
02:22Looks like we got the day off together.
02:24I ain't hanging out with you.
02:26Well, who are you going to be hanging about with?
02:28That's just Tommy.
02:30Actually, I could do with a bit of cash for going out later.
02:33Okay.
02:35But, you stay out of trouble, alright?
02:39Alright.
02:45Oh, keep next Monday free.
02:48Peter and Lauren's engagement party.
02:49Of course, it's left to Muggins here to sort it all out.
02:51Yeah, I wouldn't miss it, Caffe.
02:52Get practising that electric slide, yeah?
02:54Just have the conversation.
02:56At least you know where you stand.
02:57What?
02:59He's worried that Felix doesn't want more than a hook-up.
03:01Oh, that.
03:03Well, I know it's kind of right, though.
03:05You know, take a chance.
03:06You never know.
03:06Life can surprise you.
03:10What?
03:11Nothing.
03:12You just normally have all this sunny optimism of Wednesday Adams.
03:15Great.
03:16What's going on?
03:18Maybe I'm just having a good day.
03:19Yeah, right.
03:21Okay, fine.
03:24Erm...
03:24Someone asked me on a date.
03:26Who?
03:27Who?
03:27Don't freak out.
03:31Harry Mitchell.
03:34You've got to be joking.
03:35I know.
03:36No.
03:37I mean, I'd be in a good mood, to be fair.
03:41And what good does...
03:42Sorry.
03:42What good does shouting at Callum do?
03:44In fact, what good has anything you suggested done?
03:46What's she on about?
03:47Look, I was just trying to stand up for you.
03:49You're my daughter and my responsibility.
03:51Take responsibility for yourself first, you mel...
03:54Avani, watch your lip.
03:55Does everyone have to shout?
03:56Can someone tell me what's going on?
03:59Well, go on then, Mum.
04:00Mum, why don't you tell Davinda, too?
04:02In fact, why don't you walk around and shout into the whole square?
04:05Because clearly, I don't get a say, because you always have to make up by yourself!
04:09All right?
04:09Avani, wait!
04:10I thought we turned a corner.
04:18Now what do I do?
04:20Like she says, take responsibility.
04:29What's going on, Mum?
04:32How could you be so stupid?
04:34We agreed he was going to move the body!
04:37And leave the rest of our lives with Benji having this over us.
04:39They've got him banged, all right?
04:40It's what you're so worked up about!
04:42He's going to sing like a canary!
04:44Say I put him up to it!
04:45Or worse, he'll say I did it!
04:48We paid him 20 grand, Teddy!
04:51He buried my bracelet with her!
04:53Nobody will believe him with his record.
04:55But we need to focus!
04:56Get our story straight for the police!
04:59They're probably on their way here now.
05:00Nick, this is on him.
05:03You only wanted her gone.
05:04He's the one that killed her!
05:06So we hold our nerve, and we get through this together.
05:09Right.
05:13I want you to do something for me.
05:15And don't muck it up this time!
05:18Yes, I know I'm three minutes late, Kojo.
05:21All right, all right, all right, all right.
05:22Yeah, mate, don't panic.
05:23I was just picking you up breakfast, all right?
05:26Hang on, coach, I'm getting another call, mate.
05:28I'll see you in a minute, all right?
05:32Sad?
05:33I'm just saying, you do have a habit of going after the wrong guys.
05:40And now Harry, after everything he put you through!
05:43Yeah, but he's apologised!
05:46Look, I'm just giving him a chance, OK?
05:49It could be something there.
05:50Well, it could be that you're delusional.
05:51I just don't want to see you get hurt, do you?
05:55OK, but...
05:56Oh, here he is.
05:57Go on in.
05:58Oh.
06:00Harry.
06:03Well, at least your track record's solid.
06:07We could be a right smug car sometimes.
06:09Take him where?
06:15Go fishing with his granddad?
06:17He'll know something's up.
06:18I don't care, Ted!
06:19Just get him out of the way before the police come.
06:21I mean, Harry ain't the sharpest tool in the box,
06:23but even he can put two and two together.
06:29Is that just good?
06:32Shireen's dead.
06:34What?
06:37Oh, darling.
06:38Yeah, but listen, auntie,
06:42if I'm not streaming till after exams are over,
06:44I'll lose followers.
06:46Jesus may do it, 12.
06:47You'll survive.
06:48You don't understand my generation.
06:50And I don't want to.
06:52But I know you, Denzel Dales.
06:54Put your mind to it, and you can do amazing things.
06:56OK, OK.
06:58You win.
07:04Oh, Avani, how are your studies going?
07:07Well, I can't study, can I?
07:09Because if it ain't my mum all up in my business,
07:11it's my brother in my ear pretending to care.
07:14Um, leave it as a man.
07:16So your brother knows?
07:17There is nothing to be ashamed of.
07:22Look, I'm just sick of talking about it.
07:24I'm tired of it.
07:25It's because of you that I even made that complaint in the first place.
07:28Look, I just wish I didn't even say anything to anyone.
07:29I understand that you can't pretend it didn't happen.
07:32Yeah?
07:33We'll see if I can't.
07:37Avani, what are you doing?
07:38Shut up, Denzel.
07:39I am going to enjoy myself.
07:42What?
07:43Don't look at me like that.
07:45Wipe that look off your face if you want to keep your job, yeah?
07:47I'm the owner.
07:49Avani.
07:49You're seriously wasting a free day studying.
08:01Panicking, more like.
08:02You need to chill.
08:04Would you fancy you getting something to eat later on me?
08:11Yeah, you know what?
08:13After the weird vibes at her party,
08:15I reckon Avani could do some cheering up.
08:17All right, then.
08:18You're all lost.
08:19Oh, sorry I'm late.
08:22It took me forever to pick up and have a little bit of a shower.
08:24No worries.
08:25Thanks, um, for coming.
08:32Listen, I, uh, I've been thinking...
08:34Oh, Felix, have you sorted out, um,
08:36Peter and Lauren to do at the Albert?
08:37Oh, yeah, and I can do.
08:39Mondays is drag bingo nights.
08:40Oh, well, your little bingo boys can take the week off, can't they?
08:43I mean, it is my bar, remember?
08:44Okay, fine, but I thought you supported the arts cafe.
08:47No, no.
08:48Anyway, that date last night was a grizzly.
08:52Now, get this.
08:53Over his bed was a framed picture of his mum.
08:57I can still feel her eyes on me.
08:59Run for my life.
09:02I'm not too happy.
09:04Should have come and hung out with me.
09:05No mummy issues.
09:06Well, much.
09:08It would have been more fun.
09:09Actually, I have the afternoon free.
09:12We could, uh, go to my life.
09:15Well, or we could just, we could just hang out, you know.
09:19Like, we could do that nightly slasher film marathon at mine.
09:21Oh, okay.
09:22I suppose I need education on classic cinema.
09:24Oh, now, you want classic cinema.
09:27Dr. Zhivago.
09:29Now, that, boys, that is pure romance.
09:33Yeah, thanks, Kathy.
09:34Um, and yeah, I think it'd be good for us.
09:40Like, have a proper catch-up.
09:45Thanks.
09:46Here.
09:50You need this, son.
09:52I don't, I just...
09:54No doubt the police will be here soon.
09:56Asking more stupid questions.
09:59You can't face them like this, Harry.
10:01Let them come.
10:02At least I'll finally know what happened to her.
10:05Your mum's right.
10:07You're better off avoiding the police for now.
10:10You need time to grieve.
10:13And get your head round this.
10:14For Shireen's sake.
10:17Yeah?
10:21Come on.
10:30Let's go.
10:32I'll, um, they'll see off any trouble this end, yeah?
10:35This is Mitchell.
10:37I'm Detective Miles, this is Detective Burt.
10:39We're here to speak to you about Shireen Bashar.
10:41Yeah, we just heard.
10:42What happened?
10:43We believe Miss Bashar was murdered.
10:46What?
10:47My son is grieving.
10:48This really ain't the best time.
10:50Sorry, I wasn't clear.
10:51It's you.
10:52I need to speak to you, Mrs Mitchell.
10:54My mum?
10:55You lot wasted years going after me.
10:57Made my life hell.
10:58And now you want to hassle my mum?
10:59No, it's all right.
11:00They probably just want to go over me old statement, darling.
11:03Go on.
11:04Off you go.
11:04Please, Harry, come on.
11:05No, no, I ain't going nowhere.
11:07Anything you've got to say to my mum,
11:08you stay in front of me.
11:09Come on, G.
11:14You can't ignore me all day.
11:17Please call me back.
11:22Callum.
11:23Free gooey chocolate brownie, if you fancy it.
11:26I'm not interested, Priya.
11:27Oh, come on.
11:29Look, I was just...
11:30I was lashing out.
11:31That's what I do when I can't get a grip on anything.
11:34You get that?
11:37You're still married to that?
11:38Yeah.
11:39And I bet you've got a couple of second chances.
11:43Oh, please.
11:44Look, I'm sorry, honest.
11:45I just...
11:47I just am so angry.
11:50I know you try to protect your kids, and then...
11:52No, it's like it.
11:53Keep the brownie.
11:57I hope the brownie's dead, OK?
12:02Priya.
12:05I had to wear a kiss.
12:08I'm not a brownie.
12:10Mrs Mitchell, are you familiar with Benjamin Haynes?
12:14Benji?
12:15What's any of this got to do with him?
12:17He was arrested last night in connection with Shireen's death.
12:20What did you just say?
12:22What did you say?
12:23No, no, no, I will kill him!
12:24I will kill him!
12:25Calm down, sweetheart!
12:26We all want justice for Shireen.
12:31Yes.
12:32I know Benji.
12:34He's a right wrong'un from our old patch.
12:37Sir?
12:38Visit the old patch much?
12:42Shireen's body was found on a building site in Dartford.
12:45You familiar with Paradise Park?
12:47Your site?
12:48Dad, I got word of something, but I didn't know it was Shireen.
12:54I didn't know, Harry.
12:56Quite the coincidence.
12:59Sorry, what's your point?
13:01I mean, Paradise Park must have been a clapped-out old factory when Shireen disappeared.
13:05We had nothing to do with it, then.
13:07But you took the job.
13:09Was that Mrs Mitchell's suggestion?
13:10Perhaps to buy you enough time to move a body.
13:15Oh.
13:17You're living in fantasy land, sweetheart.
13:20Like you said, it's a coincidence.
13:24And like I said,
13:27this ain't a good time.
13:28Mr Haynes claims that you're the person who killed Shireen Bishow.
13:38Thanks for telling me.
13:40I know she's just doing it because she's angry.
13:43She takes after her mum.
13:46It's my fault.
13:49Says who?
13:51Sucky and Ravi.
13:52I just...
13:55I can't seem to do anything right.
14:01Nobody gets it right all the time.
14:03Not Ravi, not Sucky, and certainly not me.
14:07Oh, come on.
14:08From what I've heard, you run your house like a dictator and they treat you like a queen.
14:12How'd you do it?
14:13Ha ha ha.
14:19Have you ever been to bowling?
14:20You're recruiting a team, you're landing.
14:23Mm-mm.
14:24But sometimes we go with the children.
14:27I'm always paired with Mika and that boy.
14:30It's definitely holding me back.
14:33They have these bumpers that keep the bowling balls on the lane.
14:39Denzil is always complaining, but the little children need it.
14:41Otherwise, it's just got a ball off and got a ball.
14:44Now, I am the bumper in their lives.
14:48I keep them safe and out of the gutter until they're ready for the real world.
14:55So, to be a bumper...
14:58You set the boundaries.
15:02You'll be tested time after time, but you're a mother.
15:06You know what to do.
15:08Just stand firm.
15:10One day she will thank you for it.
15:12Avani, get home.
15:27Now.
15:30This is sick.
15:32My son is grieving.
15:33We're all in shock.
15:34And you have the audacity...
15:36Mr Haynes claims he can produce 20 grand in cash that you paid him.
15:40Benji's a well-known thief.
15:42God knows what dodgy job he got that from.
15:45We're respectable business people.
15:47We don't throw money around like that.
15:49He provided a number of a burner phone which he claims you used to contact him.
15:53It's only a matter of time before we're able to trace where the messages were sent from.
15:56But why do you think of all people he's claiming you're guilty?
16:04Mum?
16:09Okay.
16:11Okay, I'll...
16:13I'll tell you everything.
16:18What did you do now?
16:19Help out by taking that hit on Jack?
16:23I was studying going.
16:24Because if you're trying for an A-star and petty theft, you're going to fail.
16:27Who grasped me up?
16:29What, Yolandi?
16:30Yolandi's been good to you.
16:31Now hand it over.
16:37And I ain't having you mouthing off at Debbie, either.
16:40Like you can talk.
16:41Shout on yours at Callum.
16:42I took responsibility.
16:43And I've apologised to Callum.
16:45I've messed up.
16:46And I'm sorry to you, too.
16:49Oh, go on, then.
16:50Why'd you nick it?
16:52I don't know.
16:52To have fun.
16:53To live my own life.
16:55I don't know.
16:55Maybe you should try it sometime.
16:59Like I said to Callum, when I feel out of control, I lose it.
17:03Do stupid things.
17:04Yeah, but I ain't you.
17:06No.
17:07Smart than that.
17:08On a good day.
17:09I've let you get away with a lot.
17:12Especially recently, but that stops now.
17:14You don't lash out.
17:15You talk to people with respect.
17:17And you do not cross the line with me.
17:18You're a good person, Avani.
17:21Now start acting like it.
17:25And they disappointed in me.
17:27No, of course not, babe.
17:30She believes in you.
17:31We all do.
17:33Now go make your apologies.
17:35And I'll start dinner.
17:38You're making dinner.
17:39Well, you could show a little faith in me, too.
17:47Go on.
17:51He was obsessed with me.
17:53Following me.
17:55Watching me.
17:57Making up whole conversations.
18:00He's a fantasist.
18:02He thought he was my protector.
18:05Or something.
18:07Oh, my God.
18:11He did it for me.
18:13He knew that I thought Shireen wasn't good enough for my boy.
18:16That's why.
18:17So you had issues with Shireen?
18:20We had our differences.
18:23You weren't close enough to...
18:25give our gifts, for example.
18:28I'm a generous person.
18:29Do you recognise this bracelet?
18:33Yeah.
18:35I thought he was tacky, but...
18:38she liked it, so...
18:40I'll let her have it.
18:42This was found on the body, Mrs Mitchell.
18:46Sorry.
18:47Is it an offence to give my son's girlfriend a present?
18:52It's not what you're being accused of, is it?
18:56You're new to this game.
18:58Ain't you?
18:59I can tell.
19:01Those shiny shoes are still pinching you.
19:04Little bit of advice.
19:06This big case has landed in your lap
19:08and you have caught the man red-handed.
19:11Don't waste your time on conspiracy theories.
19:14Her family won't thank you for it
19:16and neither will the press.
19:18We need to follow up on allegations.
19:20I'm just trying to help you here.
19:23You have got your man.
19:26Don't muck it up.
19:27You should be celebrating
19:30without closing the case.
19:33We'll be in touch
19:34if we have any more questions, Mrs Mitchell.
19:36Yeah, best of luck with everything.
19:38Oh, and I'd pop a plaster on your heel

22:02Look, what happened to you was horrible, yeah, but it's not an excuse to just do what you want.
22:10I don't want any of this.
22:12What, do you think I'm milking it or something?
22:13I didn't say that.
22:14Well, you didn't have to.
22:15Look, you literally reek of judgment and spot cream.
22:18Think what you want, yeah, but trust me, keep acting like a spoiled brat and everyone will turn their back on you.
22:32I just don't think it's worth falling out with your sister over him.
22:36He's the kind of bloke I call a fishmonger at closing time.
22:39The only thing they offer is muscles and crabs.
22:44I'm so sorry.
22:45Oh, no, no, no, well, it's fine.
22:47It ain't even really just about him, though.
22:49It's like my love life is worth having total wrong with.
22:52Or your sister's boyfriend.
22:54Oh, yeah.
22:54I mean, maybe I should just give up on blokes for a bit, eh?
22:56No, no, look, if I can face dating, then you can.
22:59You need to just get out there and find someone who treats you like a prize and not an option.
23:03You know, with me and Mick, well, we always knew that we felt the same.
23:07Yeah, but I ain't looking for my Mick just yet, am I?
23:09Yeah, when I hear people say settling down, all I hear is settling.
23:12Yeah.
23:12No, no, no, no.
23:13Linda is right.
23:15You deserve to have someone who's just as excited about you as you are with them.
23:21Yeah.
23:22Okay, well, I ain't gonna find him sitting around here, am I?
23:25You two, right out?
23:26Oh, no, we've got to find out if this sick and the girl survives.
23:29Um, no, no, you two go.
23:31You two go.
23:32Have fun.
23:32I've, um, yeah, I've got some case files for tomorrow.
23:35They're really important.
23:37Yeah, I've got to do them, so.
23:38Oh.
23:39Yeah, go.
23:39Honestly.
23:40Okay, well, I've got to get my slagp on, so pop in with me and we'll go out.
23:43Nice.

23:44Have fun.
23:46I'm gonna do my case files.
23:48Yeah, big.
23:53Oh, hi.
23:56Oh, er, somebody was looking for you.
23:57Who?
23:58What did he look like?
24:00He was just a vodka sales guy with the B-O.
24:04Are you okay?
24:05You look like death.
24:06You ain't exactly Naomi Campbell.
24:08Bite me head off.
24:11Are you sure you're okay?
24:12Yes, I'm fine.
24:13Nicola, remember me.
24:21Who was that?
24:22I can't think straight.
24:23Were you just in my ear?
24:26Nicola, there's somebody to scare me.
24:27Right, look, that's it.
24:29We're closing early.
24:30What?
24:30I said we're closing early.
24:34Everyone out.
24:35Now.
24:35Now.
24:35Right, so, Vinny's on the veg.
24:48Sookie, you're on the potatoes.
24:50And what are you doing, exactly?
24:52Oh, supervising.
24:55Eve, you don't mind going and getting a bottle of wine, do you?
24:58Want it?
24:59Yeah.
25:00Make sure it's a good one this time.
25:02Uh-oh.
25:03They're teaming up.
25:03So strong, Vin.
25:05Give me this.
25:07Yeah, I got your text, Mum, but I'm going to go get Denzel's.
25:11Oh, no need.
25:12I'm rustling up a nice dinner over here.
25:14What?
25:15There's some special treat for Princess Avani.
25:17Get energy up to the next crime spree.
25:19What's this?
25:20She's naked from a minute, Mum.
25:21I've spoken to Avani.
25:23You haven't said anything to her.
25:24Maybe.
25:25No, but Mum, we can't keep letting her get away with everything.
25:27Nobody's getting away with anything.
25:29Not her and not you.
25:30And if you've got a problem with my parenting, you come to me.
25:32Understood?
25:34Yeah.
25:35Right.
25:37Now go wash your hands and help me with this veg.
25:39I'm sick of doing everything here myself.
25:45Impressive.
25:46Kids eat boundaries, Sookie.
25:48Keeps them out the gutter.
25:51Vinny, these veg aren't going to peel themselves.
25:57Freeze.
25:58Down and on and off.
25:59What?
26:00No, no, wait.
26:02Listen, you literally owe me for that stunt that you pulled at Amy's gal.
26:06I...
26:06Look, I'll pay you back.
26:08Stop.
26:09Wasting my own stuff.
26:10I don't need you.
26:13Who wants that?
26:15Yeah, I do, actually.
26:17Whatever she wants.
26:19No, Joel, look, you don't have to.
26:2120.
26:21Why'd you do that?
26:34I don't know.
26:35Maybe I like you.
