00:23Hiya.
00:24Hi.
00:25Ooh.
00:26Is there not a minion at the cop shop you can send to get your tea bags?
00:29Don't they listen to me?
00:31I have to do all my own stunts.
00:33Ooh.
00:33A man of many talents.
00:35Yeah, well.
00:36Well, you'd think we'd sit around all day talking about the latest cases, but no.
00:40Who's had the last tea bag?
00:41I was saving that.
00:42Drives me mad.
00:43Lisa's the worst.
00:48Todd?
00:50How are you holding up, mate?
00:53Oh, erm...
00:53You know.
00:55Just one day at a time, eh?
00:57One hour at a time at the moment.
00:59But, hey, I'm up and dressed, so...
01:03How's the investigation going?
01:06Er...
01:06Yeah.
01:07Still ongoing.
01:09And by ongoing, you mean no further along?
01:12It doesn't happen overnight.
01:14Look, I'm sorry about, erm, the other day in the pub.
01:19I'm, er...
01:20I'm just a bit...
01:21It's fine.
01:22Don't worry about it.
01:24You know...
01:25We are on it.
01:27We've got a few leads.
01:29Obviously, I can't go into too much, but...
01:31We'll get there.
01:33See you later.
01:37Alright?
01:38Only got one picking eye on.
01:41I'm coming!
01:45Oh!
01:46Maggie, what on earth are you doing down there?
01:49Well, you've been there all night.
01:50Oh!
01:51As if.
01:52Get up.
01:52Come here.
01:53Now, I am not one to act the martyr, as you know.
01:57Oh.
01:57But you found me down there, so you do the math.
02:00Go on.
02:01Get in.
02:04If you've been down there all night, my name's Carol Vorderman.
02:08Then I'll have a consonant, please, Carol.
02:11Where's my son?
02:12He's out.
02:13Can I just put my other eye on, please?
02:15Please do.
02:15And quickly.
02:16I thought I'd wandered onto the set of A Clockwork Orange.
02:19He is only the one I done up to, hasn't he?
02:21Correct, Maggie.
02:22We did a musical version of that on the ships.
02:25Orange.
02:26Didn't go down that well.
02:28If Ben isn't here, then where is he?
02:30They pelted us with bread rolls during the electric shock salsa.
02:33He's gone to the bank.
02:35And then he's taking Susie to school.
02:36I knew we should have never done it on roller skates.
02:39I never saw him leave.
02:40And I've been out there all night, as you know.
02:43Not on a ship.
02:44Not in a storm.
02:44Well, Appen, he went out the back door.
02:46Appen is trying to avoid you.
02:48All right, back door Betty.
02:50You won't mind if I pop upstairs and check, so.
02:53And have myself a little shower while I'm at it.
02:56Wash the city out of my hair, you know.
02:58Well, I was going to say, you are ponging a bit.
03:01Plus, ça change.
03:07Now, call me a psychic, but I can sense there's a little bit of an atmosphere between you two.
03:12No!
03:14I don't know why Ben's being such a crap with me.
03:16I mean, it's not my fault. I've done nothing wrong.
03:18I know.
03:19But he has been through a lot.
03:20And I haven't.
03:21Mmm.
03:23Hiya, babes!
03:25You all right?
03:27Couldn't do her job.
03:29You think they'd have you?
03:30They would.
03:31They'd bite me hands off if I said I wanted to join the force.
03:35Just can't be bothered.
03:36Plus, my nails.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Hiya, babe!
03:41Hiya.
03:43So sad, isn't it?
03:45What is?
03:46I don't know.
03:47I just...
03:47I just get a vibe off there.
03:50I feel things deeply.
03:52Mmm.
03:53See stuff with me third eye.
03:55Mmm.
03:56Well, you're very zen then.
03:58Oh, yeah.
03:59Gives me in a peace, son.
04:01Well, look who it isn't.
04:04Oi!
04:06Truly scrumptious!
04:08Yeah.
04:09Yeah, you.
04:10What do you think of playing at, eh?
04:12Lashing a load of sweets at our Doran yesterday.
04:14I was up all night.
04:16Felt like I was at Studio 54.
04:18Oh, sorry.
04:19I, er...
04:20Well, I'm just a great believer in, you know, rewarding good behaviour.
04:24It's part of my skill set.
04:25But, yeah, er...
04:27Sorry you had a nightmare.
04:28My bad.
04:30Can't stand people who say skill set.
04:42So, when will you strike out against those who are out to get you?
04:46I don't think I can.
04:48I can't afford to get into trouble.
04:50I'll let my family down.
04:51You'll be letting yourself down if you don't do this.
04:54Unless you can't trust your family.
04:55I can't do anything bad.
04:57There are many definitions of the word bad, Sam.
05:00I'm so sorry, Roy, but...
05:02Could you just leave me alone, please?
05:06Sam!
05:06Hiya!
05:08You had your lunch break already?
05:11Ooh, chips.
05:13Ooh, give us one.
05:15Ooh, ta.
05:16Oh, that looks good.
05:16How's your day going?
05:18Yeah.
05:18Yeah, good thing.
05:19Oh, they're really good.
05:21You remind me of an odd pot.
05:23All tasty, gooey and oozing.
05:26Oh, right.
05:27If I were a food, what would I remind you of?
05:33A big, saggy piece of tripe from Woodness Market dripping in vinegar.
05:40Really?
05:41No, Tim, not really.
05:43Can we stop likening each other to foodstuffs?
05:45Are you for real?
05:47Yes.
05:48Yes, I am online youth.
05:50Look, mirrors are plastic.
05:51Don't stand too close to a naked flame.
05:53You might melt.
05:54I've had nothing, John.
05:55You're cheating, man.
05:57Oh, it's been like this all day.
06:01Drama.
06:03The Driscoll's are very much a family at war.
06:07I can't believe you're making me tell them all this.
06:09You can find a lot out if you have your head jammed up against backroom door
06:13and apparently Maggie murdered her husband.
06:18You're joking.
06:19Dad, we don't know all the facts and we don't know for sure.
06:23No, we don't.
06:24We don't know for sure.
06:25It's just that something was said about Maggie murdering her husband.
06:29So I just put two and two together and made well.
06:32What?
06:32If I was Eva, I would not be provoking her too much just to be on the safe side.
06:37Do you know what I'm saying, Sal?
06:39I'll drop dead, Eva!
06:46Oh, I did a wash earlier.
06:52There's a pile of your stuff there. I hope you don't mind.
06:55I ironed it for you.
06:58I can't remember the last time anyone ironed for me.
07:01Thanks, Daniel. That's really kind.
07:03Did this nice, er, seamy pleat down the middle of your jeans as well.
07:10Only mess it.
07:12Oh.
07:15Ta.
07:19Well, I mean, you must be feeling a bit better if you've done all that.
07:25I feel alright, actually.
07:28I mean, I miss Bertie, obviously.
07:32But I'm up here.
07:34You and me.
07:37Not quite ready to go out there just yet.
07:42It's just I, erm...
07:44Well...
07:45I saw Cassie earlier and...
07:48Well, there's no easy way to say this, but...
07:52Sounds like Bertie's...
07:54Really missing you.
07:55Like, proper, full-on missing you.
07:59I mean...
08:01He's, like...
08:03Cried himself to sleep last night, and...
08:05I think...
08:06He might have...
08:07Kind of...
08:09Wacked the bed.
08:14You should take up a little hobby, you know, like me.
08:18It's very therapeutic.
08:20Thought your hobby was shopping.
08:22You went out for baking yesterday, came back with that vase.
08:25Oh, no.
08:26That's just from a charity shop.
08:28You can't walk out of those places empty-handed.
08:30It's not the Christian-ly thing to do.
08:33Anyway...
08:34Got a hobby.
08:35Oh, yes.
08:36Yeah, very good for your blood pressure.
08:40Hey.
08:44What are you making?
08:46I'm making a cushion cover.
08:49With a pensive pony on it.
08:53I like to do them from time to time, because they keep my mind busy, you know.
08:59I think I'll do some tidying.
09:01Is that yours?
09:02Do I look like a millennial?
09:04No.
09:05No.
09:05No, it's Summer's.
09:06She's left it there where she goes to get the rest of Todd's stuff from the flat.
09:08Yeah, well, it's in the way.
09:10Let's get it shifted.
09:12Oh, you flippin' heck.
09:14Oh, for goodness sake, Georgie.
09:16Oh, I'll do it.
09:17I'll do it.
09:18Damn it.
09:19I'm telling you what.
09:20You should take up tapestry.
09:21Oh, behave yourself.
09:22No, it's not an unmanly thing to do.
09:24Tom Daley does knitting, doesn't it?
09:26No, I can just see that.
09:27Grieving widow planning a funeral while I'm sat there finishing off a sleeve on a pulley.
09:32Hey, oh, what's this?
09:34What's?
09:35Summer's journal.
09:37Ah, no.
09:38No.
09:39Don't you even think about that.
09:41I wouldn't dare poke me nose into this.
09:42Let's put it back.
09:45My what now?
09:47Nothing.
09:48What?
09:49Nothing.
09:50Tell me.
09:52See for yourself.
09:54Well, I'm not interested.
09:56Yeah, right.
09:57No way, what's your written?
10:00Oh, there's a butcher's.
10:05Theo had his guns out today.
10:08Funny, that.
10:11Made me wanna put a gun to his head.
10:16He needs to pay for what he's done.
10:32You are a storyteller.
10:34And you're wasting your breath.
10:36You stand there, slagging me off.
10:39You've an Olympic gold in that.
10:41When you should be using all that energy to bring this family together.
10:44That's what a good mother would do.
10:46And as for me being a storyteller, you need to take a look in the mirror, darling, because I know
10:50you never slept on that step last night.
10:52Really?
10:53Yes, really, because you weren't there at midnight when I was locking up.
10:56Rookie error there, love.
10:57All right, Christine Cagney.
10:59You've got me bang to rights.
11:01I am a woman of a certain age, and it is dangerous to nod off on concrete.
11:07Comfy, was it?
11:08In the Chariot Square Hotel.
11:10I wouldn't know.
11:11I ended up in a flea pit room above a sauna in the Gay Village.
11:15Thank God for the earplugs.
11:17The noise is coming out of that place.
11:19Maggie, I know you stayed in the Chariot Square Hotel because I recognised the flaming keycard.
11:25Do you know what?
11:26The day I take advice off you on being a good mother, you best get your brolly out and duck.
11:30Because there'll be a herd of flaming pigs flying over Rosamond Street.
11:33I am a good mother.
11:35I was.
11:37I tried to be.
11:45You filled Ben's head with lies.
11:49His whole life.
11:52Oh.
11:59Suffering ice cake.
12:01She loathed old Theo, didn't she?
12:03I can't get over it.
12:07She said some terrible things about him.
12:15You don't.
12:17You don't think she.
12:21You know.
12:23It's often the quiet ones, isn't it?
12:26Often the quiet ones at what?
12:28How'd you get in?
12:29Todd gave me a key.
12:31We're bringing some of his bits over.
12:35What are you doing with my things?
12:38Who gave you permission to go through my stuff?
12:48Oh, look, Ken.
12:50It's Daniel back from Borne, Scotland.
12:52It was the likes.
12:54Oh, well, once a teacher, always a teacher.
12:58Got to correct everything.
13:00Know what I'm saying, Danny lad, eh?
13:02Kenny knows what I'm talking about, don't you, love?
13:04And, of course, I've come for Bertie.
13:06Oh, I thought you'd stay on a bit longer, if I'm honest.
13:09So, you having a cuppa or what?
13:10Yeah, yeah, sure.
13:11Is he...?
13:13Bertie!
13:13You've just missed him.
13:15Sorry?
13:16No, he's had his mate Willow's for a sleepover and a party.
13:20Right, I do.
13:20Er, yeah, I took him. I hope that's okay.
13:22Yeah, we were gonna ask, but, er, Ken said not to bother.
13:25Er, you know Willow's parents, his social workers.
13:28Yeah, she looks like, er...
13:30What, who's she like?
13:31Kirstie.
13:32Kirstie.
13:32All slop.
13:33Are we sure that that's such a good idea, though?
13:35Is he having such a miserable time?
13:37I mean, one would assume that he's been having a pretty miserable time without me.
13:44Bertie?
13:44Miserable?
13:45He's been living the life of Riley.
13:46Well, he's a case.
13:48Don't know where he gets it from.
13:49He's hilarious.
13:50Well, I mean, he probably gets it from me.
13:52Don't think so.
13:54Well, it's just that, you know, sometimes when a parent suddenly and temporarily withdraws
14:02from a child's life, it can sometimes make them pretty miserable.
14:08And it can sometimes cause nocturnal enuresis.
14:16Nocturnal enuresis?
14:17Mmm.
14:20Bedwetting.
14:21Oh, no.
14:23No.
14:24The closest thing we got to that was me last Tuesday.
14:28Turns out me hot water bottle had leaked.
14:29Uh-huh.
14:30Yeah.
14:31Oh, well, well.
14:33Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Bertie's been on top floor.
14:37Yeah.
14:38He hasn't missed you one bit.
14:40Sorry, love.
14:45It's all gone deathly quiet back there.
14:47Oh, don't say deathly.
14:48You don't think murderous Maggie struck again, do you?
14:51Tim, don't sound so excited.
14:54Well, you can talk.
14:55You phoned in work saying you were going to be late because of this.
14:56Well, so have you, and I didn't say it was because of this.
15:00I said I'd pulled a muscle trying to open a jar of pickled onions.
15:03Good afternoon, all.
15:04How do you?
15:07All right, what's going on here?
15:09It's just Eva and Maggie.
15:12What have they done now?
15:13Well, they went through to the back to sort the differences out.
15:17Well, you make it sound like a wrestling match.
15:20It's just gone awfully quiet all of a sudden back there.
15:23So, not that we're sticking in our noses or anything,
15:25because we're not gossip sounds.
15:26But we're just a bit worried,
15:28so we're wondering if you might want to go back there.
15:30You know, just bob over and see.
15:31See if everything's all right.
15:32All right.
15:33That's it.
15:34Just bob through.
15:35Okay, good luck.
15:41What the?
15:44Have I just taken acid?
15:45Sit down.
15:46What?
15:47You heard.
15:54I think you've punished her enough now, don't you?
15:57Well, you've changed your tune.
15:59Will you just listen to what she's got to say, please?
16:02Would you mind if I go and get my lie detector?
16:04I don't have to listen to a word she says.
16:06Ben.
16:07She may be able to wrap you round her little finger, Eva.
16:09Mind blown, incidentally.
16:11It's not going to work with me.
16:12Ben, you have to understand.
16:15I only ever had your best interests at heart.
16:19Oh, shut up, man.
16:20Oi.
16:20Wind it in, will you?
16:21She's just had a heart attack.
16:23How did she manage to get into your head so easily, huh?
16:26What did you say?
16:27Run to the light, Eva.
16:28All right.
16:29Stop being a nasty pasty.
16:30I'll be whatever I want.
16:31I'll be in my own home.
16:32One that she doesn't live in anymore.
16:35I want you gone.
16:40Sorry.
16:40We'll start it.
16:41We'll start it.
16:46Oi.
16:47Why did you lie?
16:51I didn't lie.
16:52I exaggerated.
16:54You told me that he was missing me.
16:55You told me that he'd wet the bed.
16:58Daniel, I did it for you.
17:00He wasn't even there.
17:01I did it for your own good.
17:02He's at a sleepover with some mates.
17:04Not a care in the world.
17:06It's not good for your head, locking yourself away like this.
17:10I'm sorry that I dragged Bertie into it, but how else was I supposed to get through to you?
17:17Whether he misses you or not.
17:19Come on, he needs his dad.
17:21We all need our dads.
17:23And you're one of the good ones.
17:31You might have a point.
17:35What about you being a good dad?
17:40Well...
17:40About locking myself away.
17:46And...
17:48Yeah.
17:49About being a good dad, too.
17:57For...
17:59Making me come home.
18:00I guess.
18:03Now that I'm feeling more of myself...
18:05Hey.
18:06Which bit are you feeling?
18:08And Bertie's coming back...
18:12We're going to have to say our goodbyes.
18:20Look, I didn't write anything that bad.
18:23Do you know what the police are like?
18:25If they were to find it, then...
18:29I'm going to have to take this.
18:38Summer, darling.
18:40We just wanted to, you know, apologise.
18:43What are you doing, love?
18:46Disposing of the evidence.
18:47It's not evidence.
18:48Isn't it?
18:49I know how it looks.
18:50Yeah.
18:51Looks like evidence.
18:53So, I don't want the police to find it.
18:55I wrote some awful things about Theo.
18:57Look, Summer, love...
19:00You can be honest with us.
19:01We're your friends.
19:03Now, all this talk about moving to America...
19:05It's not just talk.
19:07The thing is, I saw you...
19:09George, will you stop insinuating that I...
19:13killed Theo?
19:14Just because you went snooping around my things and found a journal.
19:19Wasn't snooping.
19:21Honest.
19:21He may be many things, but he is not a snooper.
19:24Everything okay?
19:25Well, no, according to George here, I'm practically the white widow.
19:29Well, you have got a very unfortunate tone for somebody who should be explaining themselves.
19:34Explaining themselves?
19:34You should see what she wrote in that diary thing of hers.
19:37Oh, what was it?
19:38Great day today, killed Theo.
19:40I very much doubt it.
19:41And you?
19:42She's as good as family to you.
19:44How could you?
19:45I'm not saying she did it.
19:47Just asking questions.
19:49Yeah, questions like, are you going to the States because you're a murderer?
19:52Oh.
19:53Come on, Todd, let's get some more of your stuff.
19:59How the hell have we been left looking like the bad guys? You tell me that!
20:03No flaming idea, love.
20:10Made with them new tea bags.
20:12Well, that's exciting.
20:14You working hard then?
20:16Due diligence is my middle name.
20:18Double-barreled, I like you.
