0:00:30 > 0:00:32Jenny's in my house, if you want her.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Right, thank you. I do need a quick word.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38It's, er...it's not as bad as it looks.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41There's no structural damage. It's mainly smoke and water.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Was it really arson?

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Yeah.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47CSI have confirmed it.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49I will need a witness statement at some point,

0:00:49 > 0:00:51if there's anything you can tell me?

0:00:51 > 0:00:56Well, I didn't see anything. I mean, it all happened so fast.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59I don't know who'd do anything like that.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02There's some sick people in this world.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04There are. Thank you.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07I can't believe this is all ending.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09This is my last morning rush.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Last cake-shop run.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14The last time I'll watch Mrs Tembe make her Redbush.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Hm.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19I must say, you've all been very discreet about my leaving do.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20I haven't heard a peep out of anyone.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22I didn't know there was a leaving do.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Ha-ha! Very good!

0:01:27 > 0:01:29Who's organising her leaving do?

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Don't worry, Mrs Hollins. Dr Carter is in charge.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Why are you making such a big fuss?

0:01:35 > 0:01:37She'll no doubt be back in a couple of weeks.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43Oh, Heston? Cough up. Valerie's leaving again.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Sign this.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Oh, yes, it's today, isn't it?

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Er...

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Yes. Well, so, how are you getting on, Dr Carter,

0:01:54 > 0:01:57with organising Miss Pitman's leaving party?

0:01:57 > 0:01:58It's all under control.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Good. Good. I'm glad to hear it.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03I am sure that you're going to do a wonderful job.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Thanks.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09How's Frank?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Stable, the doctor said.

0:02:12 > 0:02:13But he's still unconscious.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16I've been told it's safe to go into the house,

0:02:16 > 0:02:19so I've just come to collect some of his things.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22It must have been such a shock. I don't know how you're so calm.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28They're for you.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Oh, lovely. Thank you.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's all right, he's from the police, love.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38He's just come to ask about the fire.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Hello. Hi.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43Where are you going to stay, Jenny?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45You can't stay in that house, it's a mess.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47I can put you up here.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49You can have my room, I'll go in with Lucy.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Oh, thank you, Cheryl. That would help.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54I hadn't even thought.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57DOOR CLOSES Abi? Is that you?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Who else would it be?

0:02:59 > 0:03:01You've met Sgt Hollins? Yes.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Hello, Abi.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Is that all the change? You saying I nicked off you?

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Where're you going now? You've not had any breakfast! To my room.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I'd better be getting back.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16I can give you a lift to the hospital, if you want?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Thanks.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21That get-together for the mums at Joe's school,

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I thought I'd go along and try to make some friends.

0:03:24 > 0:03:28I thought you said you wouldn't be seen dead meeting up with the mums?

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Well...I didn't actually say that.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33You did.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, I've changed my mind.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Oh. OK. Coffee mornings, you?

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Well, for a start, it's a coffee afternoon,

0:03:41 > 0:03:46and secondly, we all have children in common, so there's that. Yeah.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48It can't be too gruesome.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Hm. Well, I'm just glad you're making the effort.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52It's not going to be a chore!

0:03:52 > 0:03:55I think I'll probably have a really great time. Yeah.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02MACHINES BEEP

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Hi.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12He's come round! He's going to be all right.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15They're taking him down for a scan.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Well, that is great news.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Well, I'll need to give a statement.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Yeah, but you don't have to do that now. Do that when you're ready.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24I want to talk about it now.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Get it straight in my own mind.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29I want you to catch whoever did this.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31OK. That's good.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Why don't you tell me what you remember?

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Well, everything was normal. We were at home.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Lucy came to us after school.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Does she go round to yours often?

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Oh, yes. Whenever Cheryl has to work late, we look after her.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52It's so nice to have someone young around the place.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Stops us turning into old fogeys.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56She seems very fond of you.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59She's a lovely little girl.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Thank goodness she wasn't in the house when the fire started!

0:05:03 > 0:05:08Frank tried to get to the phone, but it's in the hall.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11He got lost in the smoke and he fell.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13I couldn't see him.

0:05:14 > 0:05:18I shouted out to him, but he didn't hear me.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23I've got a mobile, but I never use it.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25I didn't even know where it was.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28We couldn't ring 999.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Someone must've done, though.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35Because the firemen arrived fairly quickly.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37If they hadn't...

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Have you any idea at all who might have done this?

0:05:41 > 0:05:44No! We've lived there for 30 years.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47We get on well with our neighbours.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49At least, I thought we did.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Someone tried to kill us,

0:05:53 > 0:05:55and I don't know why.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58It doesn't make sense!

0:05:58 > 0:06:01Chocolate fingers. What? I'm making a list.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Balloons, banners. Oh, I'm going to need some money.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08Oh. My credit card is at your disposal.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10I don't need that, just give me ?40.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13What can you get for ?40? Watch and learn.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15I've organised a lot of parties on a budget.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Bet you enjoy doing that. Yeah, 'course I do.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18Organising it for the kids.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21There's not that much to organise now they're teenagers.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24You just get out the way and hope they don't wreck the house.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26Talking of which, you know I went bowling with Shak...?

0:06:26 > 0:06:28You know, that was really good of you.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Yeah. But what I wanted to talk about...

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Oh, no!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Why is it always my car?!

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Well, it's supposed to be lucky.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Right. Where are you going?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40To get something to clean that. I'll see you in a bit.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44We've got CCTV cameras covering all these houses,

0:06:44 > 0:06:46and someone's checking the footage.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48So if anyone was hanging around...

0:06:48 > 0:06:50Will they be in?

0:06:50 > 0:06:51Cheryl's given me a key.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Answer me, Abi. Don't you walk away from me!

0:06:54 > 0:06:56It's none of your business! Is this a bad time?

0:06:56 > 0:06:58No. Do you mind?

0:07:00 > 0:07:02Oh, White Britain. Lovely(!)

0:07:02 > 0:07:05We know all about White Britain. Are these yours, Cheryl?

0:07:05 > 0:07:08No! I wouldn't dream of...! Where did you find them?

0:07:09 > 0:07:11In Abi's room.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13In her bag. What are you thinking?!

0:07:13 > 0:07:15Are these yours, Abi?

0:07:15 > 0:07:19Cheryl, I can stay somewhere else, if...

0:07:19 > 0:07:23No! Jenny, I want you to stay. You are welcome here!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26Just because she doesn't have the sense she was born with...!

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Why do you pick on me? You always pick on me!

0:07:28 > 0:07:30All right, let's just calm down. I'm going out!

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Actually, I want a word. Why? I haven't done anything!

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Then you've got nothing to be frightened off. I just want to ask you a few questions.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Yeah, so would I! Get off me! Get your hands off me!

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Whoa-whoa! Now, that looks sore.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Where'd you get that, Abi?

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Where did you get those burns on your hands, Abi?

0:07:52 > 0:07:54Something you want to tell me?

0:07:54 > 0:07:56No?

0:07:57 > 0:08:00OK, let's take it down the station.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Sarge? Can you sign that? Yeah.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Thanks.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19So, what happens now?

0:08:19 > 0:08:21I suppose you have to question Abi?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Yeah. She's been arrested.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Frank and Jenny are lovely.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29They've been so good to us ever since we got here.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31How could she do this?

0:08:31 > 0:08:33I'm not assuming she has.

0:08:33 > 0:08:34You mean, she might be innocent?

0:08:34 > 0:08:36What makes you think she's guilty?

0:08:38 > 0:08:39The burns on her hands...

0:08:41 > 0:08:43..I noticed them this morning.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I tried to look at them, she wouldn't let me.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49She didn't have them yesterday.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53And last night...

0:08:53 > 0:08:55What? Go on, tell me.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00She came in about...8:20.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06She had bottles. Something clinking in her bag.

0:09:06 > 0:09:07I thought it was booze. It usually is.

0:09:07 > 0:09:11I told her off about it, she stormed out again.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15And just after that...the fire started.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21When the firemen turned up...she took off.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23I had to know, so...

0:09:24 > 0:09:25I looked in her room.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Found the leaflets.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32I didn't bring her up to be a racist, violent!

0:09:32 > 0:09:34But she's just so angry.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36More and more, all the time!

0:09:36 > 0:09:40I didn't do it! Why would I?

0:09:40 > 0:09:44You've got yourself involved with an openly racist organisation.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46You were at a pub meeting yesterday, The White Bull.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51How do you know? It's my job to know!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54I've talked to them. They remember you.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57I've had a look at their website. Have you?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Because it's nasty.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01It's inflammatory.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03I went to one meeting, OK?

0:10:03 > 0:10:05I didn't even know they were racists.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Oh, come on, Abi, you're not stupid, and neither am I!

0:10:10 > 0:10:13OK. So, how did you get involved?

0:10:16 > 0:10:18There's this girl at college, Gemma.

0:10:20 > 0:10:21She invited me.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24She said they were campaigning on local issues.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27I've been at college a year

0:10:27 > 0:10:30and no-one's ever invited me to anything.

0:10:30 > 0:10:32They've all got their own little gangs.

0:10:34 > 0:10:35She was friendly.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38She said they needed people like me. I'd be an asset.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Of course she did.

0:10:42 > 0:10:46I thought I'd finally made friends with someone, so I went.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48What did you make of our local, friendly racists?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52They make it sound all nice.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56And then they started the meeting.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Talked about cleaning up the area. I thought they were environmental.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04And then they started going on about the blacks and Asians,

0:11:04 > 0:11:06and I realised!

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I said, "This is crap"!

0:11:09 > 0:11:13She didn't like that. Looked at me as if I was dirt.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Said they didn't need people like me!

0:11:16 > 0:11:19And I said, "Fine! I don't want to join!"

0:11:19 > 0:11:21I told them exactly where they could go

0:11:21 > 0:11:24and what they could do with themselves!

0:11:24 > 0:11:25I can imagine.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28I'm not racist.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31I told them that. I said...

0:11:34 > 0:11:36You said what?

0:11:39 > 0:11:42I said, "Our neighbours are black and we get on with them".

0:11:44 > 0:11:47I was just making a point. I-I didn't mean... OK, OK.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00Excuse me. Hi. Is this free?

0:12:00 > 0:12:02Yes, come and sit. I'm Caitlin.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Zara Carmichael.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08I have a son, Joe. He's in the reception class.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Same as mine. I've got twin girls. Summer and August.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13Seriously?!

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Oh, I-I mean, um...great!

0:12:18 > 0:12:21No prizes for guessing when they were born. Ha-ha!

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Bex! We've got company.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Hi! Bex.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Zara Carmichael.

0:12:34 > 0:12:41For the tape, I am showing the suspect IP3, 4 and 5.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Which are a hoody, a T-shirt and some jeans

0:12:45 > 0:12:48which were found in a Section 18 search of your room.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Are these your clothes? Yeah.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55Yeah. Well, they stink of smoke and lighter fluid.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58And the CSI think these were used to start the fire.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01I don't know anything!

0:13:01 > 0:13:04I wasn't there. I wasn't anywhere near!

0:13:04 > 0:13:05Then why do you have burns on your hands

0:13:05 > 0:13:08and why were you hiding these clothes?

0:13:08 > 0:13:10You left the White Britain meeting at 7:30

0:13:10 > 0:13:13and you claim you didn't go back home until after midnight.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18Where were you? Dunno. Just...walking around.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20For five hours?!

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Abi, this is serious!

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Whoever set fire to that house was trying to kill your neighbours!

0:13:25 > 0:13:27But they...but they didn't!

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Jenny's OK, isn't she? And Frank's going to be all right.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33That's not the point. It's the intention.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38Whoever did this is looking at attempted murder.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Anyone who helped them, or tries to protect them, is an accessory.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45I didn't do it! It's nothing to do with me!

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Do you know who did? Or do you suspect someone?

0:13:48 > 0:13:50Because if you do, you need to tell me.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53What's the point?

0:13:53 > 0:13:56You already think I did it. Like everyone else.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Well, if I'm wrong, now's your chance.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Hm?

0:14:01 > 0:14:04All right, you have it your way.

0:14:05 > 0:14:09We'll put you back in your cell and I will go through the CCTV.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12And I will find out where you were and when.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17But if you change your mind and you want to talk to me...

0:14:19 > 0:14:20..I'm here.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24Interview concluded 15:52.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Result! Right, we've got everything.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Ooo, Mrs Tembe, can you keep Valerie out of here for an hour or so?

0:14:32 > 0:14:35Well, it will not be easy, but I think I can manage.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Great, thanks. So we've got food, we've got drink.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40I'm going to make my famous non-alcoholic punch.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43We've got decorations. And the piece de resistance.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44Ooo! Now, what is that?

0:14:44 > 0:14:46Er...it's a secret. Quite.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Right, let's get on with it. Oh, Mrs Tembe?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53(Valerie.) (Oh, yes, of course.)

0:14:53 > 0:14:55Er...right, you grab hold of that one.

0:14:55 > 0:14:57So, how did you two meet?

0:14:57 > 0:15:01Antenatal classes. And we had our babies on the same day.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03It's a real bonding experience, don't you find?

0:15:05 > 0:15:06It...it wasn't like that for me.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10Joe was premature. It was ages before we could take him home.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12We didn't know if he was going to make it.

0:15:12 > 0:15:17It was a bit of a crisis mode, really, all a bit of a blur.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21What about your antenatal group? You must still see them.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22We've kind of lost touch.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26That's a shame. Giving birth is such a wonderful experience.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31Yeah. Having stitches in unmentionable places, haemorrhoids.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34It's magical(!) THEY LAUGH

0:15:34 > 0:15:37I was, like, "I want every painkiller there is".

0:15:37 > 0:15:40But she wouldn't even have an epidural! Just music.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43You're not one of those mums who likes wind chimes, are you?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46Worse. It was nature sounds.

0:15:46 > 0:15:50Can you imagine? 12 hours of flipping whale music!

0:15:50 > 0:15:53At least it drowned out your complaining and the language.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55THEY CHUCKLE

0:15:55 > 0:15:58We both breast-fed our babies. I loved doing that.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01I breast-fed Saskia. Never again.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05If I have another one, it's going to be bottle-feeding all the way.

0:16:05 > 0:16:07But it's not the same, is it?

0:16:07 > 0:16:10I mean, breast-feeding, the bond between mother and baby,

0:16:10 > 0:16:11it's irreplaceable.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13Breast-feeding Joe really helped me bond with him.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16Plus, it helps with the baby's immune system.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18And I don't just speak personally, I'm a GP.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20All right, but I've done my time.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Anyway, look at these.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Richard gave me a boob job last Christmas.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Ten grand, they cost.

0:16:28 > 0:16:29I'm not having them ruined.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32You're 25. You don't need plastic surgery.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34You tell her, you're a doctor.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38Actually, my partner, Daniel, runs a cosmetic clinic.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40Does he? You should give me the name.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43It's unethical and completely exploitative, so...

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Daniel is completely ethical

0:16:45 > 0:16:47and he's also an excellent family doctor.

0:16:47 > 0:16:50Pumping snake venom or whatever into people's faces to paralyse the muscles?

0:16:50 > 0:16:53It's grotesque. You've set her off now.

0:16:53 > 0:16:55You know I'm right.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'm sorry. I'm sure your husband's a good doctor,

0:16:58 > 0:17:00but the whole so-called beauty industry,

0:17:00 > 0:17:02it's just about ripping women off.

0:17:02 > 0:17:07And making a fortune selling whale music and crystals

0:17:07 > 0:17:11to gullible, middle-class hippies is just fine, is it?

0:17:16 > 0:17:19I mean... Huh!

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Another coffee, ladies. On me? Skinny lattes?

0:17:29 > 0:17:31THEY LAUGH

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Sarge. Thank you.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Right, I would like you to take a look at this footage

0:17:39 > 0:17:40and tell me who you see.

0:17:43 > 0:17:44That's Abi.

0:17:44 > 0:17:46She was there earlier, before I came home?

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Yeah. She passes the house, but doesn't go in.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51But that is definitely her? Yeah, that's her.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Stop! Stop it! Go back!

0:17:57 > 0:17:59There! Look!

0:18:00 > 0:18:01Who's that?

0:18:01 > 0:18:03That's my ex-husband!

0:18:05 > 0:18:06But it can't be!

0:18:06 > 0:18:08He's in prison!

0:18:10 > 0:18:13So, what are we doing?

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Well, we're just going for a few drinks at the Icon.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Everybody's there. Get your coat.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25CHEERING

0:18:25 > 0:18:27VALERIE LAUGHS

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Whoo-hoo!

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Aw!

0:18:34 > 0:18:35Fooled you!

0:18:37 > 0:18:41Right, I've checked and your ex-husband was released from prison a week ago.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45But he got ten years. He's only been in prison for five.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47He's served half his sentence, he's out on licence.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49That's pretty common. No-one told us!

0:18:49 > 0:18:53Yeah. I don't know how that happened. That is an oversight.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Sorry. You should have been informed.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01He was convicted of GBH with intent. What did he do, Cheryl?

0:19:03 > 0:19:05Tried to kill me.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07He'd always been violent.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11We thought he'd be inside for ten years.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13We thought we'd be safe.

0:19:15 > 0:19:17Lucy!

0:19:17 > 0:19:19She's with Jenny. I have to warn them!

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Don't worry, that's been sorted.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23We are going to protect you.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25How?! What are you going to do?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Have police outside the house 24/7?!

0:19:27 > 0:19:28No, we'll do better than that.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30Abi's here, so we know that she's OK,

0:19:30 > 0:19:34and once Jenny's been contacted, we will take you to a safe place

0:19:34 > 0:19:36until we have picked up your ex-husband.

0:19:36 > 0:19:37And if you don't? We will.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40We've got him on CCTV, we know his car registration.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Every officer out there is looking.

0:19:44 > 0:19:46Does Jenny know about him? No.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49I've never told anyone here.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Why would I? I thought all that was over.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Yeah, there is another thing that you should know.

0:19:55 > 0:20:00We've also got him on CCTV waiting outside the house for hours.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04He didn't leave until he'd seen Lucy come home from school just before 4:00.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06He watched her go into the house.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08But it wasn't our house, it was the Harrisons'.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12They'd given her a key. She could let herself in. Yeah.

0:20:12 > 0:20:16I think that your ex-husband assumed that you all lived there.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20So it was never meant to be Frank and Jenny!

0:20:20 > 0:20:21It was meant to be us!

0:20:23 > 0:20:25And I thought it was Abi!

0:20:28 > 0:20:30ANIMATED CHATTER

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Cheers! Ruhma, this punch is delicious!

0:20:35 > 0:20:37And I love the wigs! Where did you get them?

0:20:37 > 0:20:39Ooh, I've got contacts. What's that?

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Um...just lemonade. Vodka-flavoured lemonade.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46Why can't non-alcoholic punch just stay non-alcoholic?

0:20:46 > 0:20:48That wouldn't be any fun, would it! Really?

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Unlike you, Sid, I can have a good time without alcohol.

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Oh, really? Really.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Mrs Tembe, Marilyn to a T!

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Oh, come on, Jimmi, if Mrs T can do it, you can.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Yeah, but it's going to look stupid. That's the point!

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Oh, go on, Jimmi, for me! Come on! You know you want to.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06A-ha! THEY LAUGH

0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's like she was in the room! Ooo! Can we have a photo?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Yes, what a good idea. I'll do it.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Mrs T? Group together!

0:21:12 > 0:21:14That's it.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Tall ones at the back.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20Ruhma? Excellent! Just in a tiny bit. Good.

0:21:20 > 0:21:22Er...now, say "CCG"!

0:21:22 > 0:21:25ALL: CCG!

0:21:25 > 0:21:28Yay! All right! Oh!

0:21:28 > 0:21:30THEY LAUGH

0:21:30 > 0:21:32Remember the NCT picnic?

0:21:32 > 0:21:33Oh, God, yes! TEXT ALERT

0:21:33 > 0:21:35And Mona brought that cooked chicken.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38And Nazreen said, "Is it halal?" And Mona said...

0:21:38 > 0:21:42BOTH: "No, but it's from Waitrose!" THEY LAUGH

0:21:42 > 0:21:44I'm sorry, I've got to go.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47It's a...a problem. With the baby-sitter.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Oh, shame. Aw! Thanks for the coffees.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53It's been lovely to meet you both.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Right. OK.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04So... I want to tell you something, all right?

0:22:06 > 0:22:09I was there when the fire started.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11I tried to fight it.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13So, why didn't you say anything?

0:22:13 > 0:22:14I thought it was my fault.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I thought maybe someone attacked them because of what I said.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23What?! You said tell the truth and now I am!

0:22:23 > 0:22:25You could look interested!

0:22:25 > 0:22:28OK, thanks, Abi, but we are now pursuing another line of inquiry.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31So you will be released on bail for the moment.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34You found out who did it? We think so.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36I'm going to take you to your mum in a minute,

0:22:36 > 0:22:39but first of all, I need to tell you something.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45I have survived cancer,

0:22:45 > 0:22:48which I could never have done without you.

0:22:48 > 0:22:53And you planned the most beautiful wedding for me,

0:22:53 > 0:22:55even though I didn't actually get married.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57I love you all so much.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00And I don't want to leave, but I...

0:23:01 > 0:23:04..I've got to think about my career, so...

0:23:05 > 0:23:07No, no. No, I'm not going to cry.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12APPLAUSE

0:23:14 > 0:23:15Um...can I just say, Valerie,

0:23:15 > 0:23:19you are the most remarkable receptionist in Letherbridge,

0:23:19 > 0:23:22if not the world. Oh! Really.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Your inimitable flapjacks,

0:23:24 > 0:23:26your innate sense of drama,

0:23:26 > 0:23:31your...your love of modern art installations,

0:23:31 > 0:23:33a brief foray into local politics.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Zara! Oh!

0:23:35 > 0:23:37VALERIE CHUCKLES

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Thank you so much for coming!

0:23:39 > 0:23:41It wouldn't have been the same without you!

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Well, I wasn't going to miss this, was I?

0:23:46 > 0:23:48That's pretty, isn't it?

0:23:50 > 0:23:54Where's Mum and Abi? Oh, I'm sure they'll be back soon. Don't worry.

0:23:54 > 0:23:55BANGING

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Oh! Lucy!

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Mum? Lucy!

0:24:05 > 0:24:06Wait! No!

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Guys? Is that him?

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Get off! Is that him? Get off! Get off!

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Yeah, that's him. On your feet.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17Sean Bradman, I'm arresting you on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you don't mention when questioned

0:24:21 > 0:24:22something you later rely on in court.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Get him out of here!

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Lucy! Oh, God! Jenny, are you all right?!

0:24:30 > 0:24:33CHERYL SOBS

0:24:36 > 0:24:41# Diamonds are a girl's best friend Whoo-hoo!

0:24:41 > 0:24:45# A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental

0:24:45 > 0:24:47# On your humble flat

0:24:47 > 0:24:50# Diamonds are a girl's best friend

0:24:50 > 0:24:55# Men grow cold as girls grow old

0:24:55 > 0:25:00# And we all lose our charms in the end

0:25:00 > 0:25:02# But square-cut or pear-shaped

0:25:02 > 0:25:06# These rocks don't lose their shape. #

0:25:06 > 0:25:09We were phoning and phoning and there was no reply. We thought...

0:25:09 > 0:25:13I'm so sorry. We went shopping. We'd just got back.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15What'll happen to him?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17He'll go back to prison, hopefully.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20And with any luck, he'll be there a lot longer this time.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23You could've been killed! You and Frank!

0:25:23 > 0:25:26It's not your fault! How were you to know?

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Now, Lucy, are you going to show me your new books?

0:25:32 > 0:25:36Abi, love...are you all right?

0:25:36 > 0:25:38You thought it was me.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40All of you.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42You thought I could do that?!

0:25:42 > 0:25:44You've been so angry. And the drinking!

0:25:46 > 0:25:48Sometimes I've looked at you and thought...

0:25:49 > 0:25:51..you're going to end up like him!

0:25:52 > 0:25:56But you're not, Abi.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57You're not like him.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59You're not like your dad.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07CHEERING

0:26:07 > 0:26:08Karen? Hugs.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10CHEERING

0:26:10 > 0:26:12Oh, I love you all!

0:26:12 > 0:26:15I love Karen and her gossiping.

0:26:15 > 0:26:21Oh, thank you! I love Al and his relentless sarcasm.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23This is the fourth time you've left.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25And, Sid,

0:26:25 > 0:26:27I always felt there was some chemistry between us.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29OK, Valerie, time to go home.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32I'll go with her, see she gets home OK. Come on.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34Bye! ALL: Bye, Valerie!

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Goodbye!

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Goodbye, Mill Health Centre!

0:26:42 > 0:26:43Have some of that!

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Goodbye! Love you!

0:26:45 > 0:26:47Good luck! Bye!

0:26:50 > 0:26:54Our dad's in Lahore. The family business is in Coventry.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's being run by his brother, Zaroon.

0:26:57 > 0:26:59The social workers need to know that you're in good health.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01These children have been through quite enough,

0:27:01 > 0:27:03without you keeling over with a heart attack.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05She needs medication.

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Why don't you leave the medication to me?

0:27:07 > 0:27:09So, are you up for it, then?

0:27:09 > 0:27:11We're going to call?
