Sorry, Lauren, how much clearer can I make it?

Why haven't you told the police this?

And why are you just coming out with this now?

What does it even prove anyway, Dad? What, just cos you saw them...

-Well, it proves that he weren't drunk.

-What?

All right, I saw him getting out the cab and he was sober.

What's happening in here?

I'm not having you bullying her.

Oh, leave it out, Cora.

Tell them what you just told me. Go on.

Tell them!

He just said that he saw Jake and Lucy together the night she died.

Dad?

Why didn't you tell the police?

Well, cos it don't change anything, does it?

-They've already got him.

-So why are you telling us now then?

Cos I don't want her getting killed!

The police need to know everything, all right?

So you - you're going to call them now, or I will.

Er, no, you won't!

It's been weeks.

If Dad comes forward now, how bad will that look?

Tell me what happened. Tell me everything. Now.

He just did. He just said that he saw them.

Yeah, well, I don't believe him, all right?

Why has he waited this long?

Sorry, why are you talking to him like that?

What exactly do you think he's done?

I don't know.

Just...tell me what happened.

I'll tell you what happened. I was revising all night.

Dad took Tramp out for five minutes, that's it!

No time to murder anyone.

-I didn't say that, did I?

-Then what are you saying?

Max, you should go.

Lauren, please...

Now, Max!

DOOR OPENS

-Don't you dare.

-DOOR CLOSES

You do that, Lauren, and I will never speak to you again.

I will never forgive you.

He is our dad - you can't!

(Abi...)

Ugh.

-Wait, Lauren...!

-Leave her.

DOOR OPENS

DOOR SLAMS

-TINA:

-Tosh?

I'm sorry about the kiss.

About everything.

'You should have just given it to the police. Call me.

'Please, Lauren, come home.'

You should be at your exam.

I want to know what you're going to do.

Just go to your exam, Abi.

Where's Nan?

I dunno. I think she went back to the Vic.

Typical.

Why would Jake say that he...

He was drunk, if he wasn't?

I-I don't know.

E-Except that...

Except...what?

Except it's the only reason that you think he didn't do it.

I mean, how well do you really know him?

Can't you cover my shift?

Yeah. What's the big deal? Where's Tina gone anyway?

Are you worrying about tonight?

Your anniversary?

Oh, no, course not. That's fine.

-Where you going?

-Beales.

Are you joking me?

I think you can do a bit better than that, can't you, after ten years.

-We just don't want to make a fuss.

-Er, yeah, you do.

-Look, Martin thought...

-Martin thought what?

Well, Mum is looking after Rebecca, so it'll be nice to be close, that's all.

Right, you're coming to mine - I'll do your hair and make-up, give him something to think about.

After ten years, he wouldn't notice

if I turned up in my pyjamas and a mask.

Well, he is going to notice. So trust me.

Mwah!

Don't tell Mick. I'm cooking Tosh dinner.

Oh, what's she done to deserve that?

And, more to the point, what have YOU done to deserve that?

Don't be soft, Dad, I fell over.

I'm not the soft one.

Look, I tripped, all right? Was genuinely an accident.

I've had enough experience of all that to know the excuses.

Ashamed of myself for it but still...

She ain't done nothing.

-No, she never does, does she?

-Dad!

Do you know what? Believe what you want, all right?

We ain't got nothing to hide. We're going to go out tonight.

We're going to Beales, all right?

Wouldn't want her handiwork to go to waste.

She should be quite proud of that one.

-Family troubles?

-Yeah.

Heard all about yours earlier.

Your son-in-law kicking off?

Ex-son-in-law. Spare me that, please.

Tracey, get her another one of those.

-All right, Sonia.

-Hiya, Sharon.

You still covering for your mum then?

-Yeah. Last day today, though.

-Oh, right.

-Could I have a white coffee to take away, please?

-Course you can.

Something to keep me awake.

So how's your mum doing then?

Good news, yeah - the tumour's shrunk.

-Oh, that's wonderful!

-It's a start.

-Well, give her my love, yeah?

-Yeah, course I will.

I, um...

I heard about David.

Don't.

I think Mum just realised that David

was never going to be cut out for family life.

Well, that's an understatement.

Had to bite my tongue every day with that man.

But then you can't expect people to be something they're not, can you?

I mean, I don't expect Martin to write me a poem.

I'm sure you wouldn't expect Phil to run about in a pinny, would you?

Sorry, I didn't mean...

No, no, I'm just picturing Phil the househusband.

He couldn't even get Denny to school on time this morning.

It's pretty impressive that he got him to school at all, isn't it?

You might have a point there.

Tosh?

I want us to fix this properly, yeah?

Like grown-ups.

Like the grown-up you want me to be.

So I got this plan. I'm taking us out to dinner.

Just to Beales, yeah? Cos, I don't know...cash.

But come, yeah?

Six o'clock.

If... If...

If we still mean anything to each other...

Well, if I still do to you...

Just come, Tosh, yeah? Please.

Phil.

I'm off out on a job.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For landing Denny on you.

I'm listening.

Look, you know how much the bar means to me,

but maybe I'm letting it take over a little.

Maybe?

All right, I am.

So what are you doing tonight?

I was going to get Johnny to cover and I thought we could go out.

Well, how about I cook, then? Hm?

Denny's going to see a mate after school,

so we could spend time together.

-That sound good?

-Mm.

-Don't sound bad.

-THEY CHUCKLE

-What time do you want me home?

-In time for dinner.

You should cut them out like a cancer.

Otherwise they'll rot the whole lot of you.

Bit much.

Your daughter married to Max Branning,

you'd be saying the same thing.

So you're going to throw him to the wolves, are you?

Why not?

Can't do much with the police around.

What?

Don't let other people interfere with family.

Much more satisfying to do it yourself.

I've just seen my daughter.

It was an accident.

Hazardous place, yours, from what I hear.

Nan.

Hello, sweetheart.

So this is your solution?

Skip work and spend the whole day drinking in a pub?

What's yours?

I'm going to...

I'm going to tell the police.

-No, Lauren.

-Yes!

Yes, I'm just going to tell them what dad said he saw.

Why?

Because I'm sick of all of the lies.

Peter and Ian, they...

They need answers, and how are they going to get that

if everyone just keeps thinking of themselves before Lucy?

Your dad's left it a bit late to tell anyone about this.

-Police might think...

-It doesn't matter what they think, does it?

You know, they should know the truth, shouldn't they?

Even if it lands him in a cell next to Jake?

Now, I'm not defending your dad, darling,

but you girls don't need to go through that again.

Lucy's dead.

Leave it to the police, Lauren.

It's their job.

OK?

Why did Dad not tell them?

Why does your dad do anything?

LAUREN SIGHS What do I do?

You just go on grieving for your friend.

Leave Jake, your dad and the police out of it.

That's my responsibility now.

OK?

No police.

Ain't you got a job to go to?

Yeah.

Go on, darling, off you go.

Get me another one.

No, that's next week.

Yeah, well, look in the diary.

Yeah, on the computer.

I'm not talking you through how to open a diary on the computer.

No, I'm at home.

This is my night off.

I deserve it.

SHE CHUCKLES

Don't overdo it!

What? It's better to have too much than too little.

Oh, yeah? Who told you that?

Trust me, Sonia, you're going to look beautiful.

Feel like it's a first date.

Oh, really? That's nice.

Mm. Feel nervous.

Yeah, lucky you, after all these years.

Listen, Son...

Please don't start.

All right. I won't say nothing. Close your eyes.

Ten years married.

Everything you've been through.

You'll get through this.

I just can't remember the last time we just had a night out, you know?

Just us.

Well...

I'm sure that's all you need.

I hope it's not awkward.

Sonia, he's your husband!

I know, I just hope that I find things to say.

SHE LAUGHS

Finding things to say has never been a problem in this family, has it, eh?

-You know what I think?

-What?

I think you're going to have a really nice time.

Madam.

Thanks.

So why are we here so early?

So we can spend the most time together.

It's happy hour, isn't it?

-Nothing of the sort.

-So it's happy hour?

Here we go.

Thank you.

Oh, look, it's the grumpy lesbian from this morning.

What is this? A double date.

What are you doing here?

Get back to your flat - I'm wining and dining my lady.

-Whatever.

-He's only joking.

No, I'm not!

Shut up! Tosh, Tosh! Oi! He doesn't mean it.

MOBILE RINGTONE

Er, I'll be back in a minute, yeah?

Hello?

Yeah, this is her...

What?

What, he's saying that he saw her?

Er...

Well...can you give me his number, please?

DOOR OPENS

DOOR CLOSES

Well, your key still works, then.

Er, yeah. Sorry.

Oh, no, don't be sorry.

No, you can sneak in and tidy up any time you like.

Well, I just needed something to do.

I might actually take Tramp for a walk.

How'd your exam go?

I couldn't really concentrate.

Yeah, sorry.

No, it's not your fault.

Listen, thanks for earlier, anyway. What you said, with Lauren.

Yeah, well, we've been through enough, haven't we?

-Abs, why don't you just come home.

-Dad...

-Please.

No, Dad, just leave it.

Please. You ain't still angry with me, are you?

-You still love your old dad, don't you?

-Of course I love you.

You know I'm sorry, Abs. For everything.

Yeah, I've heard that before.

Please, don't... Don't shut me out.

I've lost your mum, I've lost Oscar.

Lauren - she won't talk to me.

Look, Dad, I don't want to upset you...

Everything that's happened and I've got to see you over at Cora's.

Please, Abs, all right? I really...

I really feel like I just need you back at home.

You've told us everything, haven't you?

Yeah, course I have. I prom...

Promise.

And there's nothing else?

Dad?

Oh, hi. Welcome back. You're lucky we didn't wreck the place,

-being all on our own in here.

-Yeah, sorry.

Expecting best service tonight, young lady.

Well, I'm sorry, I am on my own -

Fatboy's uncle's had a fall or something,

so he's looking after him.

And, obviously, nobody wants to bother Ian.

We've even got Billy doing shifts in here on Friday.

So, yeah, I am trying my best. I'm sorry.

You came.

You're late.

Was it worth it?

Look, we can go somewhere else, yeah?

I don't mind.

Is here all right for you?

Actually, I'd prefer somewhere a little bit more quiet. It's my anniversary.

Oh. Er, yeah, OK. What about over there?

Yeah. Lovely.

They won't be able to eavesdrop on our scintillating conversation now.

Yeah.

Want me to spell it to you.

S-C-I-N-T-I-L-L-A-T-I-N-G.

Words to learn.

Why don't you shut up? You're so full of yourself.

Oh, don't do this, babe.

Please, talk to me.

DOOR OPENS

Ah, good timing - got you well trained.

-Same to you.

-MOBILE RINGTONE

Er, cancel that, will you, please?

RINGTONE STOPS

Looks good.

I try.

So, get your order sorted out?

No. Tell me about your day.

MOBILE RINGTONE

Just tell me who it is, yeah?

Johnny.

Right.

What?

Well, I told him to call if there was a problem, so I...

Well, go on then.

Do you mind?

Hi, Johnny?

What?

-Well, can you give them another date or something?

-Sharon.

Hang on, Johnny. SHE TUTS

(Blimey. Here.)

Right, go on.

Well, how many's it...?

OK. OK, I'm coming.

No. No, no, no. I'm coming now.

I'm so sorry, babe. What can I do?

What is it?

Someone wants a big booking, a 21st or something.

And he can't handle that?

I'm the manager, it's my job.

-What about dinner?

-Look, I won't be long. I promise.

Sorry, babe.

Thank you.

Oi, look at Roxy.

I ain't even joking.

I SWEAR she's the wrong colour!

So Ronnie grabs the bloke, right,

and I grabbed, like, you know the big water spray behind the bar?

So I've gone to spray...

Are you listening to my story?

Yeah.

Why are you looking at me funny? Is something wrong?

Are you all right? You look flushed.

Oh, I had a sunbed this morning.

-Oh?

-Well, it was fake tan.

Oh, no, does it look odd?

No, no...

-Really?

-D'you know what?

-What?

-I want to do something.

-OK.

-An experiment.

-OK.

I want to get you very, very drunk.

-SHE LAUGHS

-You can try.

-It's good, isn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

You, er, ready to order anything yet?

No, I'm... I'm still waiting.

Oh. I think there was a, um... A delay on the tubes and stuff.

Was there? He was coming on the tube.

-Oh, well, that'll be it, then, won't it?

-Yeah.

Actually I'll get a beer, please?

-A beer?

-Yeah, for when he gets here.

Cool.

Why are you still looking at me funny?

-No, I'm not.

-Something's wrong, isn't there?

-There is something wrong, isn't there?

-No. No.

I'm going to go to the bathroom.

No, listen, it's the light...

I'm going to go to the bathroom.

I better get some more wine...

Sorry...

What if Lauren goes to the police

and tells them that you saw Jake that night and didn't say anything,

and then they find this?

-Yeah, well, Abs, they won't.

-You don't know that!

And you were sleeping with her, so how do you think that'll look?

Listen, Lauren ain't going to go to the police.

I don't want to take any chances, Dad.

I don't want you going back to prison.

Actually, make that two bottles

and send one over there to those grumpy people,

make them cheer up.

Is everything all right with Roxy?

It's just it looks like there's something wrong with her face.

Do you serve food, or give your opinions on other people's girlfriends?

Well, when they look like they've been trapped in a bag of Doritos, I do.

You mind how you talk about her.

LAUREN GIGGLES

D'you think this is funny? Hm?

Why didn't you say something?

It was unfortunate. Never mind, sit down.

Sit down?! Do you know, this is from the stall.

From Bianca's stall in the market.

And I thought you were supposed to stop stuff like that being sold?

I tried to stop you!

How?

I saw the bottle - I chucked it away.

-When?

-This afternoon.

Well, I put it on this morning.

Are you saying this is not what you were going for?

Oh, go and jump in the river, you arrogant prat!

Oi, and you - you tell your sister she better watch herself, yeah?!

Roxy, you look fine.

You might be starting a new trend.

You're not funny!

Listen, Roxy. Listen.

You are beautiful. You look beautiful, always.

No fake tan's ever going to stop that, come on.

Sit down and let's have dinner together, OK?

(I'm really embarrassed.)

Very well.

SHE LAUGHS

Now I'm kind of embarrassed, too.

So let's take that bottle to go.

Cos I'm going to scrub that tan off you in the bathtub.

Come on.

Keep the change. Thank you, thank you.

Bye!

Tosh.

Look, I know it's none of my business but, um...

I-I really hate what I've done to you.

You know, both of you.

You know, when it happened, I lunged at her. She was drunk.

She tried to stop me.

I just thought it was important that you knew, that was all.

Kind of you to take the time to explain that.

Tina, I'm sorry.

She was mad anyway.

-You know how she found out, don't you?

-How?

Overheard you and your gobby sister shouting about it in the toilets.

Where?

The Vic, last week.

Sorry.

I'm beginning to think you've made this Martin up.

The tube was delayed.

He's stood you up.

Oh, and you looked really happy over there, didn't you?

You were bouncing about.

She ain't said a word to you all night.

-Look, you can tell me to shut up if you like, but...

-What?

Don't be silly, I was dancing in the shower. You know me.

Look, forget Martin, all right?

Let's you and me... Let's go out for a drink.

What about Tosh?

Give her time to calm down.

-I thought you wanted to make it work?

-I do.

Oh, and going for a drink with me is really going to help, is it?

Well, I ain't going to tell her.

I dunno, I get scared.

Every time something's going really well,

I always do something to mess it up.

Well...

then you've got to stop doing that, haven't you?

How I am going to make it up to her?

Well, you tell her it ain't going to happen again.

And you tell her the kiss meant nothing.

Then you show her - you show her how much she means to you.

Next one's on you.

No, I've got to get back.

What for?

What?

Nothing.

Phil?

Phil, I'm back.

You know David robbed me blind on this place.

So where did she hit her head?

Er, on the corner there and then she was lying down there.

It was weeks ago, Abs. It's probably all gone by now.

Dad, the slightest bit of blood and they'll find it.

Pass me the bleach.

Where's Rebecca?

Upstairs playing a game with Tiff. How did it go?

-Rebecca!

-Sonia?

Roxy was in Beales tonight. She's gone bright orange.

SHE LAUGHS

Ah, no, you shouldn't be laughing about it -

she's blaming you and your fake tan.

Don't worry, I'll deal with her. How'd it go tonight?

Back a bit early, aren't you?

You know, it's all your fault. You're such a loudmouth.

Tosh overheard us last week.

-What? What are you talking about?

-In the Vic.

When you kept going on about what's happened between me and Tina.

-She heard us?

-Yeah. Heard you. Yeah.

Well, I'm really sorry.

She was at the restaurant tonight with Tina.

I've never been so embarrassed.

She didn't tell Martin, did she?

No. No, he, um...

He what?

His tube was delayed.

Well, was he late then?

(No.)

I'm really sorry.

What you should be sorry about is shouting your mouth off

-about my private business in pub toilets.

-Yeah, I...

I'm going to go and get Rebecca.

-Do you want to have a little chat about it?

-About what?

-Has he not phoned you or nothing?

His phone's dead. I'm sure we'll sort it out when I get in.

You don't deserve this.

It's just a rough patch, innit?

Rebecca, come on!

I DO want the same things you do.

Like what?

Like us together for ever.

Like a family.

Like a-a baby.

Don't mess around, Tina, not with this.

I'm not. I love you.

Why you saying this now?

Because I love you.

And I want you to know how much.

And I want to do what makes you happy.

And you want a family, don't you?

We could have one. Our own one.

Is this really what you want?

I just said, I want what you want.

You're just going to change your mind,

you always do, it's just cos we had a fight.

No, I won't! We're together - I live here.

I-I want the same thing.

Your face...

You shouldn't have wound me up.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

Hello?

Can I speak to someone dealing with the Lucy Beale murder case, please?

Yeah, yeah...

I've got some new information for them.
