00:24Morning, love.
00:26The fan's here to teach you to court.
00:28The fan's here to teach you to court.
00:35How's he doing today?
00:38He was upset in the night again.
00:40Just kept waking up and crying.
00:44Maybe he's picking up on your stress.
00:46No, I'm worried about him.
00:48It hasn't been right for ages now.
00:52Does he feel hot?
00:54I don't know, a bit.
00:56Could it be his anemia?
01:00We'll get him checked out while you're in court.
01:04I don't want to leave him.
01:06I know, sweetheart.
01:08But Frankie will be fine with us.
01:15Are you ready to go?
01:17Good, I have a few minutes with him.
01:28I'll tell him you're on the limb.
01:30No, Frankie, listen to me.
01:40Mummy's gonna have to go for a bit, OK?
01:45But I'm gonna be back soon.
01:49I promise you.
01:50I promise you.
01:51I promise, OK?
01:52I promise you.
01:53I promise, OK?
01:54I promise you to go.
01:55Yes.
01:56Yes!
02:08This will be my lucky chap.
02:10Here we are, two breakfast bars.
02:40St. Troy?
02:42You look smart.
02:44Yeah, he's had that suit on since he woke up.
02:46I think he might have slept in it.
02:48Always pays to be prepared.
02:50Unless you spill ketchup on it.
02:52It wiped off.
02:53You off to court then?
02:54Yeah, yeah, we both are today.
02:56I shall be giving evidence.
02:58Well, hopefully you'll swing it for her.
03:01My testimony will not be germane to the incident in question.
03:05It's more to do with Lauren's character.
03:07Well, I'm sure you'll do your best.
03:10Yeah, I mean, she does need some help.
03:12That prosecution barrister has been sticking the boot right in.
03:16Kevin, Kevin, there is something else.
03:20Why?
03:21I saw Abby yesterday.
03:24Yeah.
03:25And, um, she seemed troubled.
03:30Yeah, she's not been great since Mason died.
03:34No.
03:35Well, she did divulge to me that she'd been seeing her son, Seb.
03:43She's hearing things.
03:44I didn't understand, but perhaps it's a hallucinatory or...
03:53Anyway, I don't wish to pry, but I felt you ought to know.
03:57Yeah.
03:58Thanks.
03:59Kev, I'm so sorry I couldn't help overhearing.
04:02Um, is Abby still struggling?
04:04She's not the best.
04:05Well, I'd be happy to talk to her if you want.
04:07No, honestly.
04:08I wouldn't want to put any more pressure on her.
04:11We'll be right.
04:12Thanks.
04:20Hey, me.
04:21Hi.
04:22Have you got a minute?
04:23What are you doing now?
04:24Mixing the kitchen?
04:25Oh, I'm not scared of him.
04:26Uh, listen.
04:27I, uh, I just wanted to...
04:30I just wanted to give you this.
04:34It's, um, some of the money that the Institute took.
04:37Mm.
04:38Right.
04:39Thanks.
04:40It's only 12 grand, but it's all I've got right now.
04:42It's for my dad's compo.
04:44Look, if you're skin I can wait.
04:45I've got some money coming from Rome's trial.
04:47No, it's fine.
04:48I want you to have it.
04:49You sure?
04:50Yeah.
04:51Yeah, don't worry about me.
04:52I'll be fine.
04:53And I'll get the rest to you as soon as I can.
04:56I miss working here.
04:59Right, erm, I'll see you.
05:07Your dialysis machine is all set up in the bedroom, so...
05:10Oh, how romantic.
05:14Hey, listen.
05:15All right?
05:17Just keep me alive.
05:18That's all I'm bothered about.
05:21You can get off now, you know?
05:23What, me?
05:24Hmm.
05:25No.
05:26I'm going nowhere.
05:27You got no criminals to catch?
05:29Yeah, well, they can wait, can't they?
05:33Hey, sir.
05:34Hmm?
05:36I will be absolutely fine, you know.
05:39Look, Carly, you've got no working kidneys and I've booked the day off, so...
05:44Come on.
05:45Stop being some flipping stubborn and let me look after you.
05:48Hmm?
05:49Hmm?
05:51Lauren was a valued member of staff.
05:55Largely punctual, friendly, and I would say overall reliable.
06:01Oh.
06:02Thank you, Mr. Cropper.
06:06Your witness, Mr. Poison.
06:08Mr. Cropper, could you please explain to the court how you recently ended up in prison?
06:15Well, I was arrested by the police.
06:19What was the reason for the arrest?
06:21Well, the police were under the mistaken impression that I had murdered Lauren.
06:28The defendant.
06:30And yet, she wasn't dead.
06:33Clearly not.
06:35Although it was a blessed relief to find that she was, in the end, safe and well.
06:41Whilst you were suffering the torment of incarceration.
06:45Yeah, indeed, yeah.
06:48How did you cope with prison, Mr. Cropper?
06:51It was, er, deeply unpleasant.
06:55And how long did you remain in prison due to the actions of the defendant?
07:01Your Honour, my learned friend knows full well that it is not the fault of the defendant that Mr. Cropper was held in remand.
07:08Sit down, Miss Wadsworth. I will not tell you again. Please carry on, Mr. Poison.
07:12If the defendant had simply told the authorities she was alive, you would have been released straight away. Is that not true, Mr. Cropper?
07:19It is my understanding that she did attempt to alert them by the telephone.
07:26One call, two calls, emails, letters. A fax, perhaps.
07:31Did she turn up in person?
07:32Well, no, no, I don't believe she did. But I do understand that she attempted to contact me directly.
07:42She attempted?
07:44Well, Lauren said the call rang out.
07:48And she didn't call back?
07:51I don't think so.
07:52So, in some ways, your continued incarceration was a direct consequence of the inaction of the defendant. Would you agree?
08:03Uh, yeah, I can't, um, dispute the logic of that statement now.
08:10And how would you characterize such behavior?
08:17I'm not sure.
08:18I might be able to help you.
08:21It arguably points to someone who is willing to conceal the truth for a lengthy period of time.
08:30Well, I suppose, technically, that, that would be correct, yes?
08:41All right, love. How are you doing?
08:43Yeah, I'm all right. Listen, um, I just, I want to say sorry again for running out on you.
08:50Look, it's okay. You've already apologized.
08:52I just feel rotten. You told me you might have cancer. I liked it.
08:55Honestly, forget about it. You've got enough on your plate.
08:58I really don't want anything to happen to you.
09:01Don't worry. I'm not planning on going anywhere soon.
09:05Good. Because I won't do very well without you. You know what I'm like.
09:08All too well.
09:09You're not supposed to agree with me.
09:15I saw Roy before. He said he bumped into you last night.
09:19Oh, yeah?
09:21Yeah, he was worried. He said he was upset.
09:24I was?
09:26Well, apparently he was talking about Mason and Seb.
09:29I don't know, maybe.
09:31Like, hallucinations or something?
09:34Is that what happened?
09:35Of course not.
09:36Then what was it?
09:37Nothing.
09:39I was just thinking about stuff.
09:41Seb, Mason.
09:42Well, he's just got the wrong end of the stick.
09:45Look, you can talk to me, you know.
09:47Well, I will do if I need to, but I don't need to right now.
09:50Are you coping?
09:52Do you think you need help?
09:54I thought I might go to an addiction meeting and see if that does anything.
09:58Yeah, probably a good idea.
10:01So, can we leave it now, please?
10:04Sure.
10:06Good.
10:09Thank you, Mr. Cropper.
10:10You've been very helpful.
10:12No further questions.
10:14You may leave the witness box now, Mr. Cropper.
10:18Look, I'm sorry. I feel I may have inadvertently mislead the court.
10:24How so?
10:26Look, Lauren is not a violent person.
10:30And yet, she admits killing Joel Deering by hitting him over the head with a rock.
10:35An undeniably violent act.
10:37And the plea is self-defense.
10:40Defense of others.
10:42Preventing the murder of her friend, as my learned friend well knows.
10:45Irrespective of what may or may not have happened, Lauren is a decent person.
10:52She's a good soul who has been unfairly treated by life and yet remains kind and caring and thoughtful.
11:02No, she isn't.
11:04If she's so kind and caring, how come she attacked me last night?
11:09She's lying.
11:25I never touched her.
11:27Lauren.
11:29There were witnesses.
11:31One of the guards saw her threatening me.
11:33Can we please remove this person from the court?
11:35I've got her name.
11:36When did I even have the chance to do that?
11:39She's dangerous.
11:41I'm telling you.
11:42I was scared for my kid and all.
11:44You need to send her down before she hurts someone else.
11:47Her name was Cathy.
11:49Cathy Trafford.
11:52Members of the jury.
11:54You are to disregard everything we have just heard.
11:57It does not constitute evidence.
11:59Get off us!
12:04I can't do this!
12:06Read a speech!
12:08He's a lawyer.
12:09He'll sue you.
12:10I'll get the damages.
12:11Human rights!
12:14Get off us!
12:16Lawyer?
12:17What's going on?
12:18A girl kicking up in the gallery saying Lauren attacked her last night.
12:22Judges are doing them for half an hour.
12:24Right.
12:25OK.
12:26I'll be as quick as I can, yeah?
12:28Why?
12:29You're up next.
12:30I know.
12:31You'll have to rejiggle the order or something.
12:33Why?
12:34What are you doing?
12:35Not sure yet.
12:37Oh, come on.
12:38DD.
12:39Miss Woodland.
12:40We've just had a call from the prison.
12:48Why don't you take a picture?
12:49It'll last longer.
12:51Abby.
12:53How you doing?
12:54Yeah, I'm fine.
12:55Just Roy said that you're still having a hard time.
12:59What's Roy Flamin' Cropper doing telling everyone me business?
13:01Is he a town crier now?
13:02No, I just...
13:03I overheard him talking to Kev, that's all.
13:05Yeah, well, you need to keep your neb out.
13:08What happened with Mason was awful.
13:10I know.
13:11I was there.
13:12You've suffered a serious trauma.
13:14A mate of mine is a grief counsellor.
13:17Oh, I am.
13:18I see what this is.
13:19So you want me to talk to your mate, find out all my little secrets, then you can record
13:23me, use it against me, and nick my kid.
13:25No chance.
13:26No, that's absolutely not what this is.
13:28I just thought it might help.
13:29I don't want your help.
13:31I want you to stay away from me and Alfie.
13:32Do you hear?
13:33Because you killed his dad, and now you want to take him and always just get lost!
13:37Do you mean he's in hospital?
13:38What's wrong with him?
13:39That's all I know.
13:40They just said he's got a very high temperature.
13:41I need to go.
13:42What?
13:43You can't.
13:44My little boy needs me, Maya.
13:45Yeah, and you're in the middle of a murder trial.
13:46I don't care about that.
13:47If you go, it will not look good to the jury.
13:48What, even if my baby's ill?
13:49Look, I don't understand.
13:50I know.
13:51This is hard, Lauren.
13:52I do.
13:53Look, Frankie's in really good hands, yeah?
13:54And there's nothing you can do.
13:55I can be with him.
13:56I strongly have to advise against it.
13:57Do you not just get a re-trying or something?
13:59Look, I'll come back tomorrow, I promise.
14:00If he's better, I will.
14:01It doesn't work like that.
14:02It doesn't work like that.
14:03It doesn't work like that.
14:04You're in the middle of a murder trial.
14:05You're in the middle of a murder trial.
14:06I don't care about that.
14:07If you go, it will not look good to the jury.
14:08What, even if my baby's ill?
14:09I don't understand.
14:10I know.
14:11This is hard, Lauren.
14:12I do.
14:13Look, Frankie's in really good hands, yeah?
14:14Do you not just get a re-trying or something?
14:16Look, I'll come back tomorrow, I promise.
14:18If he's better, I will.
14:19It doesn't work like that, Lauren.
14:21I'm sorry.
14:23It just doesn't.
14:24I'm sorry.
14:28Come on.
14:34Mind if I join you?
14:36Yeah.
14:37Thank you for paying Amy back that money.
14:40Yeah, well, I just wish I could give her all of it.
14:42Oh, you will.
14:43I'll make sure of that.
14:44Will you just come here to wind me up?
14:46Pretty much.
14:47Yeah, well, don't bother.
14:48I'm not in the mood, Tracy.
14:49Go and find somebody else.
14:51Listen, the truth is, I was feeling lonely.
14:57And I thought, who's got less friends than I have?
15:00Well, thanks for the confidence boost.
15:02Are we done now?
15:03We're two peas in a pod, me and you.
15:06I am nothing like you.
15:08Well, deny it all you like, Battersby.
15:10But we both sat here with no mates.
15:12So, I've got a plan.
15:17How many times did the defendant strike Mr. Dearing?
15:21Just once.
15:23And you say Mr. Dearing was holding you from behind?
15:26Yeah, he was strangling me.
15:28He was gonna kill me.
15:30So, you were facing away from Mr. Dearing.
15:34How could you see the defendant?
15:37What?
15:39Mr. Dearing was struck from behind.
15:41The defendant was behind both you and Mr. Dearing.
15:44So, how could you possibly see how many blows were struck?
15:49Well, because I could feel it.
15:50I could hear it.
15:51She just hit him once and then he, he let go of my neck.
15:58This court has heard evidence from a forensic pathologist who stated that due to the nature of the wounds, it's highly likely that two blows were struck in quick succession.
16:08Well, I don't know, do I? Because he was strangling me.
16:12I mean, if your mate is being killed, you have to try and stop it.
16:16It doesn't matter how many times you hit them.
16:19Still the right thing to do.
16:21You were recently convicted of terrorist-related offenses, were you not?
16:26Your Honor, if I may...
16:28Miss Wadsworth, as you well know, I granted the prosecution permission to introduce evidence on this matter prior to trial.
16:35Carry on, Mr. Poyser.
16:37You were part of a right-wing group with racist views who planted a bomb in a van with the intention of killing your friends and neighbors. Is that not correct?
16:48Well, yeah, but we tried to stop it.
16:51We?
16:56Me and Laurie.
16:59So the defendant was a member of the gang as well?
17:04Oh, yeah, but...
17:07Your Honor, my client was not charged with any offenses relating to those matters.
17:12So this was another occasion on which you conspired with the defendant to commit criminal acts?
17:17No, no, that was her dad. That wasn't her.
17:19Conspired with her to murder innocent people.
17:22Right, can you just stop it?
17:26Stop it.
17:28She did not murder Joel.
17:29She saved my life. I would not be here if it wasn't for her.
17:36She's a good person.
17:40She's a good mum.
17:41No further questions.
17:42Come on, it's just a little video for the brewery.
17:54I'm really not in the mood, Jen.
17:55Well, tough.
17:57Because this is work and we have to do it to earn money, remember?
18:00I know what work is.
18:01I'm not stupid.
18:03But good.
18:04Because we need some fast before Carla broughts us to the police.
18:10Fine.
18:11Yeah, alright. What do I need to do?
18:13Not much. Just drink that, look cute, and I'll film it.
18:17How is that going to get us any cash?
18:18Because all the pubs are doing it, and then the brewery picks the best ones, put them online, we get promotion, equals punters, easy money.
18:26There you have written out your lines.
18:29I'm not saying that.
18:30It's just a bit of fun.
18:32But I'm not fruity or saucy, and I most certainly do not have a musky aroma.
18:38Alright, well then, just say what you want.
18:39I can't just make something up on the spot.
18:41Can you hurry up, please, because glasses need clearing.
18:43Fine.
18:45Waterford's Prosecco, freedom in a glass.
18:48Freedom in a glass, what does that even mean?
18:50I don't know.
18:52Well, we'd love to do.
18:53You know, it's actually quite nice, is this?
18:56After a long day at work, relax at your local boozer with a glass of water for its Prosecco.
19:01That was much better. Why didn't you do that when I was filming? Honestly.
19:06Alright, Daniel.
19:08What are you doing?
19:10I'm working. Why? What's it to you?
19:13You're pregnant and you're drinking Prosecco?
19:15Keep your voice down and your wig on, it's non-alcoholic.
19:18Alright.
19:19Okay.
19:20Not that it's any of your business what I do or do not do.
19:23Yes, it is, actually, because that might be my baby.
19:25And it might not be.
19:27It changes things.
19:31Like what?
19:33Everything.
19:34Daniel, what are you seeing?
19:42I want to do a DNA test.
19:47Hello, is that Barbara?
19:49Hi, it's Bethany Platt. I spoke to you the other day.
19:51Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.
19:53Erm, listen, I know this might be a long shot, but I was just wondering if that job was still available.
19:58Miss Bolton, if you don't speak up, we won't hear you.
19:59If you don't speak up, we won't hear you.
20:00He's just doing his job.
20:01This is the process.
20:02Miss Bolton, if you don't speak up, we won't hear you.
20:03Examination, cross-examination.
20:04Yeah, well, it is not his job to be so aggressive, is it?
20:05I mean, she's the victim in all this.
20:06I'd like to ask you some further questions regarding what you say your movements were on the night Mr. Deering died.
20:14I understand this is traumatic for you, but it's important.
20:19I just want my baby.
20:20Is everything okay, Miss Bolton?
20:21Would you like some water?
20:22No.
20:23It's fine.
20:24I'll carry on.
20:25Could you tell the court, Miss Bolton?
20:26Would you like some water?
20:28No.
20:29It's fine.
20:30I'll carry on.
20:31Could you tell the court, Miss Bolton?
20:32I mean, she's the victim in all this.
20:33I'd like to ask you some further questions regarding what you say your movements were on the night Mr. Deering died.
20:37I understand this is traumatic for you, but it's important.
20:40I just want my baby.
20:42Is everything okay, Miss Bolton?
20:43Would you like some water?
20:45No.
20:46It's fine, I'll carry on.
20:48Could you tell the court why you were tracking Joel Deering's phone?
20:52In case he came looking for me.
20:54Or was it so that you could go looking for him?
20:58No.
20:59But you did go looking for him, didn't you, on the night he was killed?
21:02You found him, you and Mr. Turner.
21:06Yeah.
21:07And you killed him, didn't you?
21:08See?
21:09That's how it was.
21:10He's hassling.
21:11He's not given the time to answer the question.
21:13That's not fair, is it?
21:14And then you hit him again to make sure you'd finish the job.
21:16No.
21:17He couldn't come after you and your baby.
21:19No.
21:20And then you lied to cover up what you'd done, didn't you?
21:23Pretended it was your accomplice, Max Turner, who delivered the fatal blow.
21:27We had to.
21:28This wasn't a case of self-defence at all, was it, Miss Bolton?
21:32Yes, it was.
21:33I will save him, Max.
21:36This was a cold-blooded and calculated attack on Mr. Dearing for no other reason than revenge and retribution.
21:42No, it wasn't.
21:43It was murder!
21:59It weren't planned.
22:01I swear to you, it weren't planned.
22:03The way Joe were going for Max, I had to do something.
22:10You lot, you didn't know him like I did.
22:15A man that, when he looked at me, the things he did to me, I was scared.
22:28I was so scared Max was dying, Joe weren't gonna stop.
22:33They were killing him.
22:34Great.
22:39All right, thank you.
22:41Yeah, we'll be there.
22:42Bye.
22:44They've had a cancellation, but we need to move, like, now.
22:47Okay.
22:49Now means now, Daniel.
22:51Not a standard of an existential crisis, because paternity tests, they wait for no man, and they definitely don't wait for you.
22:55Just trying to work out what I'm gonna tell Bethany.
22:57Yeah, that's what to be worrying about, what to tell Bethany.
23:00If the baby is mine...
23:01Well, should we stop and go to the actual place where we can find out if that's true or not?
23:05No, but if it is...
23:06Daniel!
23:07Stop with the intrusive thoughts.
23:09How?
23:10How am I gonna tell her this is gonna completely break her heart?
23:13I'm leaving.
23:15Would you marry me?
23:17Hey?
23:18If you knew that I'd fathered a child with somebody else, would you marry me?
23:20Daniel, stop.
23:21I'm sorry, okay?
23:22I really am sorry, but I just need to know.
23:23Do you?
23:24Do you really?
23:25I know that you need to know too.
23:27God, if this child's yours, I really hope she's not as annoying as you are.
23:29Hang on.
23:30What?
23:32You called it she?
23:35Yeah.
23:37It's just a feeling that I have.
23:39Come on.
23:42So, a clear case of revenge, Miss Bull?
23:45No.
23:47No.
23:48Revenge against a deplorable man who treated you brutally.
23:51I never wanted revenge.
23:54I just wanted it to end.
23:56By that you mean Joel Dearing.
23:58You wanted to end his life and so you did.
24:00No.
24:01This was Miss Bolton's justice, was it not?
24:03For your son?
24:04For yourself?
24:05He was trying to murder someone right in front of me.
24:06What don't you get about that?
24:08I mean, let's face it, women like me, girls like me, we don't get justice.
24:17No, we have to find other ways to survive and we have to live with that.
24:20Except you didn't live with it, did you?
24:22On this occasion, you let it fester and fester until eventually you snapped and took the law into your own hands.
24:29Please.
24:30I need to get back to my family.
24:32Oh, it's convenient, isn't it?
24:33But each time my questions get a little tougher, a little closer to the truth, you cry for your baby.
24:40My baby is sick.
24:47Don't.
24:49Don't do that.
24:51Don't look down on your nose at me like that.
24:54What do you know?
24:57Hmm?
25:00Nothing.
25:02Absolutely nothing.
25:05You're not a parent, are you?
25:07You're not a father.
25:09Nor you, you're just a stone cold, arrogant little-
25:11Miss Bolton, I ask that you control your language in my courtroom.
25:16You can insult me all you wish, Miss Bolton.
25:18Yeah.
25:19Yeah, I will.
25:20Enough.
25:26You don't know anything about me.
25:30You don't know what it's like to be filled with hate.
25:37To dig that out of you.
25:40To believe that you've stopped it.
25:42You've stopped your own dad from abusing you.
25:45And then you finally feel like you've found someone.
25:48You've found a decent bloke.
25:52Someone who's gonna look after you.
25:56Love you.
26:00Make you feel special.
26:01Only to realize that he isn't the person you thought he was.
26:08He hurt me more than anyone else ever has.
26:14And I let it happen.
26:18Again.
26:19You're holding that to me.
26:25He was treating me like I was a piece of meat.
26:29Quite the performance, Miss Bolton.
26:32The truth is, after what Joel Deering did to you and your son,
26:37you felt he deserved to die.
26:39No, no.
26:41Don't do that.
26:42I will not let another man tear me down.
26:45Frankie.
26:47That's his name, isn't it?
26:49Little tiny Frankie.
26:51Expelled purposefully from the womb.
26:53Rendered utterly defenseless because of that man.
26:58And the poison he gave you.
27:02What does that do to a mother?
27:05What did it do to you to see your baby so vulnerable?
27:09Clinging to life?
27:11It makes me so happy.
27:13It makes me so happy that he's dead.
27:16No problem.
27:32How was the group?
27:34Fine.
27:36Do you think it's helping?
27:38It is what it is.
27:41I'm okay. I am.
27:43What if you did go and see one of these counsellors, what Troya suggested?
27:49You know, I think it might be a good idea.
27:52Oh, good for you.
27:54I mean, you've seen Seb, what Roy mentioned.
27:57It's not what it sounds like.
27:58I've just been thinking about him a lot and I've just been seeing him over and over in my mind.
28:10That's all.
28:12Are you sure?
28:13What if they're mates with Troya and they tell Troya everything about me? It's not worth the risk.
28:19What risk?
28:21Well, Troya's spreading rumours round here about me.
28:23She's not gonna start doing that.
28:25How do you know that? You don't know that.
28:27Look, I'm not having any counselling. That's the end of it.
28:28Ooh.
28:38Blew it.
28:40Completely and utterly blew it.
28:42He got to me and I let him do it.
28:45I'm so stupid.
28:46What's done is done.
28:56I need to be with Frankie.
28:58Even if the judge allows it, I've already told you, it's not gonna look good in front of the jury.
29:04Yeah, and if something happens to my baby, I'll never forgive myself.
29:10Please.
29:12Please.
29:13Can you not just talk to the judge? Talk to someone.
29:17Please, ma'am.
29:19I'm begging you.
29:22Oi. Two steaks rare and a bottle of Bordeaux.
29:25Okay. Now?
29:27Is there a problem?
29:28No.
29:29Well, it's funny, cos you're just standing there, you're not writing anything down, and that's your job.
29:33You're a waitress.
29:34Manners cost nothing, Leigh.
29:36Oh, I wouldn't be talking to my boss like that if I were you.
29:39No, would I.
29:40Well, are you gonna take the order, or are you gonna go crying, running to your very poor man's Dermot O'Leary?
29:46Oh, don't be awful to the real Dermot. He's lovely.
29:49I said very poor.
29:51Well, go on. Chop, chop. We're waiting.
29:53Okay, two steaks and a bottle of Bordeaux. Coming up.
29:55Tyre!
29:57Service with a smile.
30:02Brilliant.
30:03Oh, do you know, Summert?
30:05Should have ordered some shibata, some olives, a few onion rings to go with my steak.
30:09Er, are you me wingwoman? Are you just here for free lunch?
30:11If we are successfully winding up your sour-faced cheat of a sister, who cares?
30:17Fair enough.
30:19Everything all right?
30:20Yep, all good.
30:22Do you want me to serve my mother?
30:24It's not your mother I'm worried about.
30:26Sorry, Amy, actually, yeah, could you take this over? Thanks.
30:29What a coward.
30:34Here you go.
30:36Go easy.
30:37Oh, leave it out, Amy.
30:39This is the tip of the iceberg, innit, Leanne?
30:41Oh, yeah. It sure is.
30:43All right, babe, wanna join us?
30:45No, I can't.
30:46You've not seen your tyre, have you?
30:48She's not my tyre.
30:49You do know she cheated with Nick.
30:51Oh, yeah, sorry.
30:52Oh, don't be. She's shown her true colours. At least I know her stand.
30:56Oh, there she is.
30:59What is your problem?
31:01Look, Abby.
31:02Are you, like, obsessed with me or something?
31:04Okay, if this is about earlier, I was just trying to help.
31:06I don't want an inch of help off you, do you hear me?
31:09All right.
31:11You stay out of my life.
31:12You stay away from my family and you stay away from my lad.
31:29Seven.
31:32Seven.
31:33Could you please tell me how you know Miss Bolton?
32:00Joel Tearing was my fiancée. Miss Bolton, one of his victims.
32:06Do you elaborate on that for me, please?
32:08He abused her, manipulated her, physically attacked her.
32:14And it's my understanding that this is not the first time Miss Bolton experienced abuse.
32:21No, it isn't.
32:24Lauren has been abused most of her life,
32:27often by those who should have been taking care of her,
32:31by her own father,
32:33by people in positions of power
32:36who saw a vulnerable young woman
32:39and took advantage of their status in order to harm or hurt her.
32:43And that abuse is still happening to this very day, to this very second.
32:49In what manner are you describing, Miss Bailey?
32:52I'm talking about the woman who came in and shouted earlier.
32:56Miss Brie Benson.
32:59I have reason to believe Miss Benson was bribed by Angus Dearing, Joel Dearing's father.
33:08Your Honour, there is no evidence of this.
33:11Miss Bailey is on oath and an officer of the court.
33:15I'd like to know what she has to say. Continue.
33:17Thank you, Your Honour.
33:21I have evidence to show that yesterday this woman, Miss Brie Benson,
33:26who is a convicted criminal herself,
33:29signed a lease on a very expensive flat owned by Angus Dearing.
33:35A flat considerably more than a woman of her means could afford.
33:40What on earth are you claiming? It is therefore my belief
33:44that such extreme action taken by Joel Dearing's father
33:49indicates a desperate, calculated act
33:52to undercut the validity of Lauren Bolton.
33:56He doesn't believe she is guilty.
33:59Otherwise, he would not need to resort to such extreme, illegal and abusive measures.
34:07Even in the supposed safety of this court, Lauren is still a victim.
34:12And Angus Dearing is just the latest in a long line of sustained trauma
34:17this young woman has had to endure.
34:23You know, Lauren has no trust in authority.
34:28She has no trust in the police.
34:30So why would she report the death of Joel Dearing, her abuser,
34:34when time and time again, people with power, men with power,
34:40have got away with abusing her?
34:44Lauren has had to learn to fight on her own terms and...
34:48on the night of Joel's death, she was...
34:53she was simply trying to survive.
34:55It's mad, isn't it?
35:04Two years ago, we'd have been a million miles from this place.
35:11We'd have been sitting Bertie down,
35:13telling him that he was going to be a big brother.
35:15Stop it.
35:17What?
35:22I loved you, Daisy.
35:25Yeah, that's why you chose Bethany time and time again.
35:28You cheated on me.
35:30How is any of this helpful?
35:32To me or to my baby right now?
35:33Daniel, I honestly don't think this kid's yours.
35:43I really think she's kid, so please don't be preparing your life for this.
35:48Don't do it to yourself.
35:50And don't do it to me.
35:52All right.
36:02I hope yours there.
36:04Cheers.
36:06So, what do you want to do with the rest of the evening?
36:10I don't know.
36:12We could make sweet love in front of my beautiful dialysis machine.
36:17Which is a life-saving beauty.
36:19Yeah, I bet she's just what you dreamt of when you moved in.
36:23Oh, come on. Less of that.
36:26It's not exactly very romantic, is it?
36:30Listen, Carla.
36:32You know, it is what it is.
36:34I'm here with you and that's all that matters.
36:38You sure about that?
36:41Of course I'm sure.
36:44Hey, look, I know this must all be really, really scary for you.
36:50I'm not scared.
36:54Not.
37:08Hey, little man.
37:09How's it going?
37:12He's got an infection.
37:14You know, because he's immune system so low.
37:17Oh, mate.
37:19You can fight this, can't you?
37:21Thought worse before.
37:23He's on antibiotics.
37:25What?
37:28Right.
37:29He'll kick in soon.
37:30Look, this is the best possible place for him.
37:35How about you?
37:39What about me?
37:41Oh, is there anything that I can do?
37:43Anything that might help?
37:44They're going to send me to prison, aren't they?
37:47I can't, Max.
37:48I can't.
37:49No one is like this.
37:50I mean, look at you, me knee to me.
37:53They're just going to find me gilly, aren't they?
37:55I mean, why did I do what I did?
37:56Why? Why did I lose my nut?
37:57I'm just so stupid.
37:59Right, listen to me.
38:00Listen.
38:03Whatever happens, I promise you,
38:06whatever happens, I have got you and I have got Frankie, okay?
38:10There you go.
38:19What's this?
38:20The bill.
38:21I don't think so, sweetheart.
38:23What are you doing?
38:24Well, I'll tell you what I'm not doing.
38:25Paying.
38:26Is everything all right?
38:27Well, chips were a bit soggy,
38:30but the entertainment between you and Abby wasn't bad,
38:32so all in all, not too shabby for a free meal.
38:36So, what did you do to upset Abby, then?
38:38Not been sleeping with Kevin and all, have you?
38:40She's really into sloppy seconds, this one.
38:42Look, you have to pay.
38:43Leanne, you had the most expensive meal and wine on the menu.
38:46Absolutely, I did.
38:47And seeing as I own half this place,
38:49if I want to do that again tomorrow night,
38:51and the next night,
38:53and the night after that,
38:55then I will.
38:57You're unbelievable.
38:58Believe it, this is what you call a bad day.
39:00Excuse me, Missy.
39:06Not so much as a hi.
39:07Hello.
39:08Hola.
39:09Not now, Jen.
39:10What?
39:11What's up?
39:12Nothing.
39:14There you see.
39:17Daniel and I went for a DNA test, okay?
39:19Oh, my giddy.
39:20And?
39:21Results don't come in that quick.
39:23Oh.
39:24You never know these days, do you?
39:28Can I go now?
39:29Hang on, hang on.
39:30Are you alright?
39:31Yeah, I'm fine.
39:32Are you sure?
39:33Yes.
39:35Thank you for asking.
39:36And Daniel?
39:39Annoying.
39:40Making it all about him, as usual.
39:42Saying he'll step up for me and the baby.
39:44Criminal.
39:45It wasn't what I needed in the moment.
39:48Him romanticising and reminiscing.
39:52What?
39:53What's that for?
39:54Katie, it's so obvious.
39:56He's still in love with you.
40:00He's engaged.
40:02Yeah, there is that.
40:03And even if he is, what am I meant to do with it?
40:06No idea.
40:08Right, well, you've been really helpful. Thanks.
40:10Hang on, hang on, hang on.
40:11No, we're done, Jen.
40:12Me and Daniel are done.
40:15Uh, Jenny?
40:20Yes, love?
40:21What?
40:23I saw this.
40:24Yes.
40:25Erm, I've been sorting through some old things
40:27and I thought we could make a bit of money.
40:30Out of all my stuff.
40:31Well, in case you've forgotten, we'll call her a fortune.
40:35Yeah, well, I actually don't think
40:38that my knackered from Armani flip-flops are gonna fix that.
40:41You never know what's on trend.
40:43No, I do. I actually do.
40:46Where's my handbag?
40:48What, the green one?
40:50The vintage, very expensive pistachio green one.
40:53Yes, where is it?
40:55The vintage?
40:57Erm...
40:58That one, that one, er...
41:00Might have been snapped up.
41:02You cannot be serious.
41:03I'm a little bit serious.
41:04Ha!
41:05Yes.
41:06Well, you said that it was knackered in that you could do with a new one.
41:08What am I gonna buy a new one with?
41:10Charm and charisma.
41:11I'm very charming and I'm very charismatic.
41:12You are.
41:13But not that much.
41:14Who bought it?
41:15Yeah.
41:16Jennifer Connor, who bought it?
41:21Beth...
41:23Who was that?
41:25Bethany.
41:27What?
41:28Just like, sorry.
41:29It's just...
41:30Oh!
41:31Oh, yeah.
41:32Oh, sorry, there's just...
41:33Oh.
41:34Come in love, yeah!
41:35Come in.
41:45I love you.
41:46Mmm.
41:47Love you too.
41:48What's this?
41:49It's a Bethany special.
41:51Pizza?
41:52Pizza frittata.
41:53Oh, yeah?
41:54Yeah.
41:55In aid of?
41:56Nothing.
41:57Can't a fiancé treat her fiancé?
41:58Yeah, they can.
41:59Mm-hmm.
42:00Right, you sit down, relax.
42:02Would you like some wine?
42:03Wine?
42:04Mm-hmm.
42:05Oh, now I know something's definitely up.
42:08No, it's not.
42:09Mm.
42:12OK, I contacted that magazine in London
42:14and convinced them to offer me their job again.
42:16Wow.
42:17I know, I know that it isn't ideal,
42:19but I've researched loads of flats.
42:20There's a really, really nice one in Clapham
42:22that's available on a short-term lease.
42:23Please, please, can we just trial it?
42:25Give me one good reason why we shouldn't.
42:28I haven't got one.
42:30Not a single one.
42:32So is that a yes?
42:34Yes?
42:35Yes.
