Dad...

Dad!

Just didn't seem right, Bobby being at ours...

His place is here.

OK, I don't know what to do. Maybe...

Put the kettle on? Make tea for everyone?

Breakfast?

Sorry.

I just don't know what...

Look, Denise, what's happening? Has anyone said?

The police said they were going to call in this morning.

They might...have some more news.

But, he can't talk to anyone, let alone...

Yeah.

Tea. Breakfast. You're right.

I think we should try and not pretend everything's normal.

I don't mean that...

but, I don't know, food, something...

Bobby got Lucy an Easter egg.

DOOR HANDLE CLICKS

-May I come in?

-Yeah, of course.

I was...

I was wanting a word with Ian.

Is he here?

Dot, I'm not sure that...

Yeah, he's through there.

Ian...

I don't know what to say to you.

It's dreadful.

Awful...

Perhaps...

..in a few weeks' time,

you might like to come to church with me.

And remember her there.

I don't need to go to a church to remember Lucy.

Of course you don't, I was just meaning that,

you know, different surroundings...

It's peaceful and full of prayer.

I found it very comforting since my Nick.

Are you seriously comparing Lucy with your Nick?

No. No, course I'm not.

Lucy had her whole life in front of her.

A life she was going to do something with.

-Dot, listen, maybe...

-No, it's all right, Ian is right.

Lucy had her whole life in front of her, not at all like my Nick.

I'm sorry.

I just want you to know, Ian, that I'm here for you.

Like you've always been for me.

He didn't mean any of that.

I've been saying goodbye to children.

They should be saying goodbye to me.

DOOR BELL RINGS

It's OK, I'll get it.

That'll be the police.

Come in.

I'm DCI Irving.

And I'm Emma Summerhayes, the Family Liaison Officer.

I'm Denise, Ian's partner.

What's happening?

We've no news yet.

Um, is Mr Beale...?

Yeah.

Um...

I'm DCI Robin Irving, Mr Beale.

I'm the officer in charge of the investigation.

And I'm Emma, Emma Summerhayes. I'm the Family Liaison Officer.

Bobby, why don't you go upstairs and play on your computer?

I'll be up in a bit.

So, you don't know anything yet?

We have a team of officers working on the case,

And we've collected all the CCTV tapes from around the Common.

We've had officers doing house to house enquiries nearby as well,

just to check to see if anybody saw Lucy, either alone or with someone.

By tonight they'll have covered every property in roughly

a half-mile radius.

If that doesn't produce any leads, then we'll widen the search area.

We now have to take a look at Lucy's things, Mr Beale.

Her clothes, her computer if she has one here...

Any diary or journal she may have kept?

That's Lucy's private stuff.

She wouldn't even let us look at all that.

It might just help us build up a picture.

Of what?

Who Lucy had been seeing recently, where she'd been going,

who'd contacted her, that sort of thing.

How's that going to help catch some mugger?

She didn't keep a diary or journal, not since she was little.

Most of what we find won't lead anywhere, we know that,

but something just might.

We'll be very careful and try to leave her room just as we found it.

If we take anything we'll let you know what and why.

My team are waiting, Mr Beale. With your permission...

Where is Lucy's room?

Upstairs and straight ahead.

I've got to get out of here.

Peter?

I'll be back later on, I've just got to go.

Peter...Peter!

I can't do it, I can't stay here, not while they're...

They're going to pick it clean, aren't they? Everything she had.

Give it a few hours and that's it...

there'll be nothing left.

-Where are you going to go?

-Back to the flat?

-You can't be on your own, son.

-Lola will be there.

Peter, please.

Just stay.

What for?

We have to keep together right now. All of us.

For everyone's sake.

FRONT DOORBELL RINGS, KNOCKING ON DOOR

Peter, could I have a word, please?

It's from Maggie Flaherty?

Maggie in Ireland?

News travels fast.

Thank you, Mr Beale.

So...

..the last time you saw Lucy would be Friday, yes?

And...

..it was just a normal day?

How do you mean?

There were no problems? Nothing happened?

Nothing out of the ordinary?

Anything at all? It may not seem important, but it could be.

We had a disagreement.

About?

It was about a boy.

Not a boyfriend, just someone from the pub she was seeing.

Lee.

It was nothing serious.

She could have done so much better.

Proud dad.

And then Lucy went off to work?

Mr Beale?

Tell him, Ian.

What?

We had another disagreement.

Go on.

I found out she'd been taking drugs.

She'd been what?

And what sort of drugs are we talking about?

Does it matter?

It was cocaine.

I found some in her room

and I confronted her and...she stormed out.

Then, later on, she'd calmed down and we talked sensibly.

And she went out and I went off to the restaurant.

-And you didn't see her after that?

-I was there all night.

And was this a one-off?

How do you mean?

Was Lucy just experimenting, or was this something more regular?

I don't know.

Because you'd probably be the last person she'd have told,

I can understand that.

And what about Peter, her brother, might he know?

-He was as shocked as I was.

-It wasn't a one-off.

I'm not saying she was an addict.

But...

Lucy was a habitual user?

And did she tell you where she got these drugs from?

What are you asking? Did Lucy have any enemies?

Well, not enemies, no.

Just people who might have crossed her lately,

-anyone she might have argued with?

-What, who might have done this?

Followed her up on that Common and attacked her?

It's more to rule people out than anything else.

We don't want to go down any blind alleys and waste any time.

This WAS just a mugging, yeah?

I mean, you don't know something... something you're not telling us?

You know as much as we do right now, Peter, I promise you.

Yeah, well, no.

Lucy didn't have any enemies, and no,

there was no-one that she'd argued with, is that it?

Well, with your permission, we'd also like to take a swab.

What?

It's a DNA sample. It's just routine,

we'll be asking everyone in the family.

Yeah, but why? What for?

We need to forensically examine Lucy's clothes,

all of her things, for any suspect DNA,

so that we can eliminate anyone who came into close contact with her.

Did she...

No-one's telling us anything, you know,

not about what actually happened.

Lucy was hit, yeah?

So, it was quick?

I mean...

..did she suffer?

Because the doctors, they've got to know, right?

Would she have known anything about it?

When we know, you'll know.

Thank you.

MOBILE PHONE BEEPS

That was Libby.

Think probably most of the Square are doing that today.

Talking to their kids, making sure they're all right.

Look, I'm sorry, Denise.

I'm sorry you found out about Lucy like that.

So, all this happened on Friday, yeah?

Which was why Ian didn't come with me to Oxford?

He wanted to have it out with her.

Why didn't he just tell me? I could have gone another time.

He just said he didn't want to spoil your day.

Look, Denise, me and you have got to keep everyone together right now.

We can't let everything fall apart, because it will, if we don't...

It's up to us, yeah?

I just...

I keep expecting to hear her voice.

See her walk back in.

Why kill her, that's what I don't get?

Take her money, take her phone...

Where did she go?

What?

Lucy was coming to that party, yeah?

Yeah.

She was literally on the doorstep with us,

I thought she was just going to follow us in, but she didn't.

She said she was going to call you.

She did seem upset...

I don't know, she didn't really seem herself.

Then, so, what was she doing up on that Common?

I don't know.

I did wait for her at the party, Peter.

I saw the police. Do they know anything?

No.

So, what are they going to do, then?

Is there anything that I can do? Do you want anything?

-Sorry, I don't even know what to say.

-Actually, yeah.

-What?

-There is something.

-Yeah, yeah of course.

-I need you to get Lola out the flat.

-Why?

-Well I need to get some stuff together,

and I can't do it, not while she's there.

I've got to get out of here.

-What?

-I've got to get away from the Square.

What, you're running away?

Yeah, I told you I was going to travel. Well, now's my chance.

It's not like there's anything to keep me here, is there?

What about your family?

I know what my dad thinks of me.

Peter, he needs you.

He's never needed me.

OK, well, Bobby needs you.

Peter, you could go to the end of the earth,

and Lucy is still all that you're going to see.

Running away isn't going to stop that.

Please.

Please...

Why did you have to say that about Lucy?

-What?

-"Habitual user."

I mean, what are they going to think of her now?

They're just going to write her off like some lowlife kid high on stuff.

I don't want you saying anything about this.

What if it had something to do with it?

What?

They reckon it was a mugging, that got out of hand.

What if it wasn't? What if she was meeting someone?

Like who?

-Like a dealer?

-You see what you're doing?!

-I'm not doing anything.

-I don't want Lucy remembered like that!

Don't say anything to anyone.

-Please.

-OK.

-All right, you keep your mouth shut.

-I already have, haven't I?

-What?

I didn't tell that copper about you not being at the restaurant

-for one thing.

-What are you talking about?

You told him you went there.

I did.

Well, I came looking for you to see if everything was OK.

I didn't see you.

I must have just slipped out.

Cindy, we're ready for you now.

Do you know what I first remember about her?

That she wasn't there.

I still don't know exactly what happened.

I was living abroad with Mum and Steven...

and Lucy was back here with Dad...

and, um...

..I was only little,

but I remember I used to wake up every morning...

..and I'd just know that something was wrong.

It was a nice place.

The sun was shining.

Mum used to take us everywhere,

I mean, like, everywhere.

She really did her best. Steven did too.

But, still it was just...

..just like there was this hole

right at the centre of it all.

Just something missing all the time.

Then Dad turned up and then, before you know it,

we were back here and Mum wasn't there.

And, I should have felt bad,

you know, cos now that she'd gone, but...

But I didn't.

I didn't because Lucy was there.

I know it's not really the same thing.

Well, how can it be? Lucy's your twin.

I didn't even really know Bradley, not till I was a teenager anyway.

But...

What?

Why didn't I know?

I always thought, you know, that if something happened

to either one of us, that the other one would know...

..but, nothing.

We've just about finished.

I'm sorry it's taken so long.

What happens now?

We'll be going through everything back at the station.

You'll be the first to know if and when we turn up anything useful.

Just find him.

Her. Them. Just...

Please, just make some sense of this.

Thank you, you've all been a huge help.

Emma will be your point of contact from now on.

I'll stay in close touch, and I've left my direct number

just in case there's anything, anything at all, any of you need.

Thank you.

All right, come on, Ian.

Yeah, come on, sit down. And you, Cindy. Peter?

No-one's eaten anything all morning.

What about Bobby? Shall I go and call him down?

He hasn't had anything.

No, I'll take him up something up. Let him play.

Come on, Ian.

I'm just going to go back upstairs. I just need to sit quiet.

Ian, you need to eat something, everybody does.

No, no, please. I just need to sit quietly.

-What are you doing? That's not yours.

-What? I know.

Why are you taking Lucy's stuff?

-What?

-Ian?

-I just wanted to hold it.

-First, you slag her off to the police...

-I didn't!

-Leave her alone.

-..and then you try and take her stuff.

-You just don't care, do you?

-Of course I do!

-Right, that's it, you've got no right at all.

-Get out!

-Ian, stop this!

-Ian!

-I don't want you here any more!

-Stop him!

-What are you doing?

Get out! Out!

-Out!

-Where am I supposed to go?

Ian, you can't do this!

-What am I supposed to do?

-I don't care.

-Ian!

Ian, Ian...

It's Cindy.

I need you to come and get her.
