00:00Oh, Barry, leave off.
00:18Dad, tell him.
00:19Do you see your nerves getting to your barn?
00:21No, just using the study break to give my notes a final pass.
00:25Anyway, why are you in such a good mood?
00:27Another girl, is it?
00:28She ain't just another girl.
00:30Here, what if you go blank on the day?
00:33Do you just fail?
00:34Dad!
00:34Stop winding your brother up.
00:36Look, you may be rubbish at cards, but you are going to ace these exams.
00:40Ain't he, love?
00:43Right, Dad.
00:44He's left his brain in bed.
00:46Look, you get to that library.
00:48No pressure, sweetheart, but it would be nice to have a son with at least one GCSE.
00:54So, you're smitten with this Gina girl, are you?
00:57You'll always be my number one.
01:00You liar.
01:07Don't look so worried.
01:09It's sorted, ain't it?
01:11I didn't hear you come in last night.
01:12I didn't want to wake you, Nick.
01:15Where were you then, eh?
01:17I ain't had a peep out of Benji.
01:19You'd better have stuck to the plane.
01:22Turn it off.
01:24I changed the plan.
01:27Are you sure this ain't decaf?
01:29I'll do a single pot of it, eh?
01:30I ain't your semi-breaker.
01:32Drink as much as you like.
01:33Caffeine don't cure stupid.
01:34Oh, give over, Robbie.
01:37I haven't deserved everything you've got.
01:40Yeah, but why?
01:43Because I want to know why Dad snuck over.
01:46I've only needs to focus on her GCSEs, not have you stirring up more trouble with the police.
01:50Robbie?
01:51More milk.
01:53And thank you both for the parenting advice.
01:55Why ain't stupid?
01:56I've only never asked to know.
01:57What, you're keeping more secrets from me?
02:06Another delay on site?
02:08Yeah.
02:10Looks like we got the day off together.
02:12I ain't hanging out with you.
02:14Well, who are you going to be hanging about with?
02:16That's just Tommy.
02:18Actually, I could do with a bit of cash for going out later.
02:22Okay.
02:23But...
02:24You stay out of trouble, alright?
02:27Alright.
02:33Oh, keep next Monday free.
02:36Peter and Lauren's engagement party.
02:37Of course it's left to Muggins here to sort it all out.
02:39Yeah, I wouldn't miss it, Caffe.
02:40Get practising that electric slide, yeah?
02:42Just have the conversation.
02:44At least you know where you stand.
02:45What?
02:47He's worried that Felix doesn't want more than a hook-up.
02:50Oh, that.
02:51Well, Anna's kind of right, though.
02:53You know, take a chance.
02:54You never know.
02:55Life can surprise you.
02:57What?
02:59Nothing.
03:00You just normally have all this sunny optimism of Wednesday Addams.
03:03Great.
03:05What's going on?
03:06Maybe I'm just having a good day.
03:08Yeah, right.
03:08Okay, fine.
03:12Um...
03:13Someone asked me on a date.
03:14Who?
03:15Who?
03:17Don't freak out.
03:19Harry Mitchell.
03:22You've got to be joking.
03:23I know.
03:24No.
03:25I mean, I'd be in a good mood, to be fair.
03:27And what good does...
03:30Sorry.
03:30Sorry.
03:31What good does shouting at Callum do?
03:33If I have, what good has anything you suggested done?
03:34What's she on about?
03:35Look, I was just trying to stand up for you.
03:37You're my daughter and my responsibility.
03:39Take responsibility for yourself first, you meld.
03:42Varnie, watch your lip.
03:43Does everyone have to shout?
03:45Can someone tell me what's going on?
03:48Well, go on then, Mum.
03:49Why don't you tell Davinda too?
03:50In fact, why don't you walk around and shout into the whole square?
03:53Because clearly, I don't get a say, because you always have to make up by yourself!
03:57All right?
03:58Varnie, wait!
03:59I thought we turned a corner.
04:06Now what do I do?
04:08Like she says, take responsibility.
04:17What's going on?
04:20How could you be so stupid?
04:22We agreed he was going to move the body!
04:25And leave the rest of our lives with Benji having this over us.
04:27They've got him banged to our eyes.
04:29What are you so worked up about?
04:30He's going to sing like a canary.
04:32Say I put him up to it.
04:34Or worse, he'll say I did it.
04:36We paid him 20 grand, Teddy.
04:39He buried my bracelet with her.
04:41Nobody will believe him with his record.
04:43But we need to focus.
04:45Get our story straight for the police.
04:47They're probably on their way here now.
04:48Nick, this is on him.
04:51You only wanted her gone.
04:53He's the one that killed her.
04:54So we hold our nerve and we get through this together.
04:57Right.
05:01I want you to do something for me.
05:03And don't muck it up this time!
05:06Yes, I know I'm three minutes late, Cojo.
05:09All right, all right, all right, all right.
05:10Yeah, mate, don't panic.
05:11I was just picking you up breakfast, all right?
05:14Hang on, coach.
05:15I'm getting another call, mate.
05:16I'll see you in a minute, all right?
05:21You sad?
05:21I'm just saying, you do have a habit of going after the wrong guys.
05:28And now Harry, after everything he put you through.
05:31Yeah, but he's apologised.
05:34Look, I'm just giving him a chance, OK?
05:37It could be something there.
05:38Well, it could be that you're delusional.
05:40I just don't want to see you get hurt, do you?
05:43OK, but...
05:44Oh, here he is.
05:45Come on in.
05:47Oh.
05:48Harry.
05:52Well, at least your track record's solid.
05:54He's giving me a right smug car sometimes.
06:02Take him where?
06:03Go fishing with his grandad?
06:05He'll know something's up.
06:06I don't care, Ted!
06:07Just get him out of the way before the police come.
06:09I mean, Harry ain't the sharpest tool in the box,
06:11but even he can put two and two together.
06:18Is that just good?
06:20Sure he's dead.
06:23What?
06:24Oh, darling.
06:29Yeah, but listen, auntie,
06:30if I'm not streaming till after exams over,
06:32I'll lose followers.
06:34Jesus may do it, 12.
06:36You'll survive.
06:37You don't understand my generation.
06:38And I don't want to.
06:40But I know you, Denzel Dales.
06:43Put your mind to it,
06:44and you can do amazing things.
06:45OK, OK.
06:47You win.
06:47Oh, Avani, how are your studies going?
06:56I can't study, can I?
06:57Because if it ain't my mum all up in my business,
06:59it's my brother in my ear pretending to care.
07:01Oh, um, be a good or something.
07:05So your brother knows?
07:06There is nothing to be ashamed of.
07:10Look, I'm just sick of talking about it.
07:12I'm tired of it.
07:13It's because of you that I even made that complaint in the first place.
07:16Look, I just wish I didn't even say anything to anyone.
07:18I understand, but you can't pretend it didn't happen.
07:20Yeah?
07:22We'll see if I can't.
07:25Avani, what are you doing?
07:26Shut up, Denzel.
07:27I am going to enjoy myself.
07:30What?
07:31Don't look at me like that.
07:33Wipe that look off your face if you want to keep your job, yeah?
07:35I'm the owner.
07:37Avani.
07:38You're seriously wasting a free day studying.
07:49Panicking, more like.
07:50You need to chill.
07:53Would you fancy you getting something to eat later on me?
07:59Yeah, you know what?
08:01After the weird vibes at her party,
08:03I reckon Avani could do some cheering up.
08:06All right, then.
08:06You're all lost.
08:08Oh, sorry I'm late.
08:10It took me forever to pick up an Ellie's full of shower.
08:13No worries.
08:14Thanks, um, for coming.
08:20Listen, I, uh, I've been thinking...
08:22Oh, Felix, have you sorted out
08:24Peter and Lauren's do at the Albert?
08:26Oh, yeah, and I can do.
08:27Monday's is drag bingo nights.
08:28Oh, well, your little bingo boys
08:30can take the week off, can't they?
08:31I mean, it is my bar, remember?
08:33OK, fine, but I thought you supported the arts cafe.
08:36No, no.
08:36Anyway, that date last night was a grizzly.
08:40Now, get this.
08:41Over his bed was a framed picture of his mum.
08:45I can still feel her eyes on me.
08:48Ran for my life.
08:50Don't look too happy.
08:51Should have come and hung out with me.
08:53No mummy issues.
08:54Well, much.
08:56That would have been more fun.
08:59Actually, I have the afternoon free.
09:01We could, uh, go tomorrow.
09:03Well, or we could just, we could just hang out, you know.
09:06Like, we could do that 90s slasher film marathon at mine.
09:09Oh, OK.
09:11I suppose I need education on classic cinema.
09:13Oh, now, you want classic cinema.
09:16Dr. Givago.
09:17Now, that, boys, that is pure romance.
09:21Yeah, thanks, Kathy.
09:22Um, and, yeah, I think it'd be good for us.
09:28Like, have a proper catch-up.
09:34Thanks.
09:34Here, you need this, son.
09:41I don't, I just...
09:42No doubt the police will be here soon.
09:44Ask him all stupid questions.
09:47You can't face them like this, Harry.
09:49Let them come.
09:51At least I'll find you know what happened to her.
09:54Your mum's right.
09:56You're better off avoiding the police for now.
09:58You need time to grieve.
10:01And get your head round this.
10:02For Shireen's sake.
10:06Here.
10:10Come on.
10:18Let's go.
10:20I'll, um, they'll see off any trouble this end, yeah?
10:23Mrs Mitchell.
10:25I'm Detective Miles, this is Detective Burke.
10:27We're here to speak to you about Shireen Bashar.
10:29Yeah, we just heard.
10:31What happened?
10:31We believe Miss Bashar was murdered.
10:34What?
10:35My son is grieving.
10:37This really ain't the best time.
10:38Sorry, I wasn't clear.
10:39It's you.
10:40I need to speak to you, Mrs Mitchell.
10:43My mum?
10:44You lot wasted years going after me.
10:46Made my life hell.
10:47And now you want to hassle my mum.
10:48No, it's all right.
10:48They probably just want to go over me old statement, darling.
10:51Go on.
10:52Off you go.
10:52Please, Harry, come on.
10:53No, no, I ain't going nowhere.
10:55Anything you've got to say to my mum,
10:56you stay in front of me.
10:57Come on, G.
11:03You can't ignore me all day.
11:05Please call me back.
11:11Callum.
11:12Free gooey chocolate brownie, if you fancy it.
11:14I'm not interested, Priya.
11:15Oh, come on.
11:17Look, I was just...
11:18I was lashing out.
11:20That's what I do when I can't get a grip on anything.
11:22You get that?
11:25Still married to that?
11:27Yeah.
11:28And I bet you've got a couple of second chances.
11:31Oh, please.
11:32Look, I'm sorry, honest.
11:34I just...
11:35I just am so angry.
11:38You know, you try to protect your kids, and then...
11:40I'll get you.
11:44Keep the brownie.
11:45I hope the brownies do, OK?
11:50Priya.
11:54Quiet, where I'm please.
11:56I'm all dumb, Arnie.
11:59Mrs Mitchell, are you familiar with Benjamin Haynes?
12:02Benji?
12:04What's any of this got to do with him?
12:05He was arrested last night in connection with Shireen's death.
12:08What'd you just say?
12:10What did you say?
12:11No, no, no, I'll kill him!
12:13I will kill him!
12:13Calm down, sweetheart!
12:15We all want justice for Shireen.
12:19Yes, I know Benji.
12:22He's a right wrong-un from our old patch.
12:25Sir?
12:26Visit the old patch much?
12:30Shireen's body was found on a building site in Dartford.
12:33You familiar with Paradise Park?
12:36Your site?
12:37Dad, I've got word of something, but I didn't know it was Shireen.
12:42I didn't know, Harry.
12:44Quite the coincidence.
12:47Sorry, what's your point?
12:50I mean, Paradise Park must have been a clapped-out old factory when Shireen disappeared.
12:53We had nothing to do with it, then.
12:55But you took the job.
12:57Was that Mrs Mitchell's suggestion?
12:58Perhaps to buy you enough time to move a body.
13:03Oh.
13:05You're living in fantasy land, sweetheart.
13:08Like you said, it's a coincidence.
13:11And like I said, this ain't a good time.
13:17Mr Haynes claims that you're the person who killed Shireen Bishow.
13:26Thanks for telling me.
13:28I know she's just doing it because she's angry.
13:32She takes after her mum.
13:33It's my fault.
13:37Says who?
13:39Suki and Ravi.
13:42I just...
13:43I can't seem to do anything right.
13:49Nobody gets it right all the time.
13:52Not Ravi, not Suki, and certainly not me.
13:55Oh, come on.
13:56From what I've heard, you run your house like a dictator and they treat you like a queen.
14:01How'd you do it?
14:02Have you ever been to bowling?
14:09You're recruiting a team, Yolandi.
14:11Mm-mm.
14:12But sometimes we go with the children.
14:16I'm always paired with me, kind of, boys.
14:19Definitely holding me back.
14:21They have these bumpers that keep the bowling balls on the lane.
14:27Denzil is always complaining, but the little children need it.
14:29Otherwise, it's just got a ball after got a ball.
14:33Now, I am the bumper in their lives.
14:38I keep them safe and out of the gutter until they're ready for the real world.
14:41So, to be a bumper, you set the boundaries.
14:50You'll be tested time after time, but your mother, you know what to do.
14:56Just stand firm.
14:58One day she will thank you for it.
15:00Avani, get home.
15:15Now.
15:16This is sick.
15:20My son is grieving.
15:22We're all in shock.
15:23And you have the audacity to...
15:24Mr Haynes claims he can produce 20 grand in cash that you paid him.
15:28Benji's a well-known thief.
15:30God knows what dodgy job he got that from.
15:33We're respectable business people.
15:35Don't throw money around like that.
15:37He provided a number of a burner phone which he claims you used to contact him.
15:42It's only a matter of time before we're able to trace where the messages were sent from.
15:44But why do you think of all people he's claiming you're guilty?
15:52Mum?
15:57OK.
16:00OK, I'll...
16:01I'll tell you everything.
16:06What did you do now?
16:08Help out by taking that hit on Jack?
16:12How's studying going?
16:13Because if you're trying for an A-star in petty theft, you're going to fail.
16:16Who grasped me up?
16:17What, Yolandi?
16:18Yolandi's been good to you.
16:19Now hand it over.
16:25And I ain't having you mouthing off at Debbie, either.
16:28Like you can talk, shouting yours at Callum.
16:30I took responsibility, and I've apologised to Callum.
16:33I've messed up, and I'm sorry to you, too.
16:38Oh, go on, then.
16:38Why'd you nick it?
16:40I don't know.
16:41To have fun, to live my own life.
16:43I don't know, maybe you should try it sometime.
16:47Like I said to Callum, when I feel out of control, I lose it, do stupid things.
16:52Yeah, well, I ain't you.
16:54No.
16:55Smart than that.
16:56On a good day.
16:57I've let you get away with a lot.
17:00Especially recently, but that stops now.
17:02You don't lash out.
17:03You talk to people with respect, and you do not cross the line with me.
17:07You're a good person, Avani.
17:10Now start acting like it.
17:13And they disappointed in me.
17:16No, of course not, babe.
17:17She believes in you.
17:19We all do.
17:21Now go make your apologies, and I'll start dinner.
17:26You're making dinner?
17:28Well, you could show a little faith in me, too.
17:30Come on.
17:39He was obsessed with me.
17:41Following me.
17:43Watching me.
17:45Making up whole conversations.
17:49He's a fantasist.
17:51He thought he was my protector, or something.
17:54Oh, my God.
17:59He did it for me.
18:01He knew that I thought Shireen wasn't good enough for my boy.
18:04That's why.
18:06So you had issues with Shireen?
18:09We had our differences.
18:11You weren't close enough to give our gifts, for example.
18:16I'm a generous person.
18:19Do you recognise this bracelet?
18:21Yeah.
18:22I thought he was tacky, but she liked it, so I'll let her have it.
18:30This was found on the body, Mrs Mitchell.
18:34Sorry, is it an offence to give my son's girlfriend a present?
18:40It's not what you're being accused of, is it?
18:44You're new to this game, ain't you?
18:48I can tell.
18:50Those shiny shoes are still pinching you.
18:53Little bit of advice.
18:54This big case has landed in your lap, and you have caught the man red-handed.
19:00Don't waste your time on conspiracy theories.
19:02Her family won't thank you for it, and neither will the press.
19:06We need to follow up on allegations.
19:08I'm just trying to help you here.
19:09You have got your man.
19:14Don't muck it up.
19:17You should be celebrating for closing the case.
19:22We'll be in touch if we have any more questions, Mrs Mitchell.
19:25Yeah, best of luck with everything.
19:26Oh, and I'd pop a plaster on your heel till you break them in, if I were you.
