-Hello? -[Chloe] What is wrong with you?
What do you think you're doing?
It's too late. You didn't pick up.
-[Becky] Well, I didn't-- Let me explain. -Oh, come on. I know you.
You think you're some noble detective, but you're just a--
-[seagulls squawking] -[waves crashing]
[inhales sharply]
[gasps]
[sighs]
[birds chirping]
[TV blaring in distance]
-Morning. -[chuckling] Morning.
-Coffee? -Yes.
Are you okay?
What is it?
Well…
this keeps happening, doesn't it?
Mmm.
I want it to keep happening.
I don't know what we do about that.
I know it's not ideal, having to lie to everyone.
Don't worry.
I'm happy.
And easy.
-[Noah] Elliot! -[Edie screaming]
[car door slams]
-[Livia] Morning, El! -Fuck.
-Shit, I'm so sorry. -No, it's fine. I'm gonna go.
[knocking]
-[Richard] Elliot. -Yeah, just coming.
-Edie needs a quick poo. -That's a nice surprise.
[Livia] Sorry, darling. Edie needs to go.
[Elliot] Okay, I'm, uh, just looking for the key.
-[shouting continues] -[Elliot] Uh…
That's it. And, um…
[Livia] Please stop it.
Found them!
[Noah] I need to poo!
-[children cheer] -[Richard] Thanks.
[Edie squeals, giggles]
[Livia] Stop it.
Quick, Rich, can you come in and close the door?
Yeah, coming!
[door closes]
["Elemental" playing on phone]
-[music continues in earphones] -Hey.
-[Pam] What's he do again? -He's an IT guy.
-Computers. -Good for you.
[both chuckle]
Have you got a minute?
When I got here this morning, she was out on the road again.
Oh.
She was looking for you.
Well, I was at work.
-She said you were gone all night. -Yes, I got shift on security.
Uh, my hour a day isn't enough anymore.
You're gonna have to be around.
She can't be left alone.
Look, I know she doesn't want to go to a home,
but we could look into it. I can contact Mari--
She's not going to Marigold. Place is due a lawsuit.
[sighs] Listen, I'm really worried for her.
Well, look, I-- I will be around.
There's just some things I need to wrap up.
I know it's not easy.
You're a young girl, so's she.
It's bad luck.
And one more thing, um…
She… She keeps trying to give me this.
It's her mother's engagement ring.
I keep saying no, but bless her, she keeps trying.
Well, she wants you to have it.
Okay.
Well, I'll hold onto it.
For now.
Keep it safe.
[TV blaring in background]
[actor 1] How was I supposed to know that?
[actor 2] How were you supposed to know that?
You're the firm's accountant, you wally!
[audience laughs]
[Pam] Who are they?
Just some friends.
Oh, yeah.
Your imaginary friends.
[Pam] Isn't that Chloe?
[actor 1] …ever sailed on either got torpedoed or dive-bombed.
[audience laughs]
-Do you want to go for a walk? -[actor 1] Two of them in peacetime.
[audience laughs]
Why have you got two phones?
[children chattering]
Do you remember?
You used to walk miles every weekend to see her.
Yeah.
We was meeting in the middle.
I'd had enough of driving you.
So had her parents.
Ah, Chloe.
You outstayed your welcome a bit there, didn't you? [chuckles]
She was the full package, wasn't she?
Beautiful, clever, kind.
Holy trinity.
-She was cheating on her husband. -Liar.
No.
Turns out she was a liar.
And how would you know?
-Put those on. It's getting cold. -Oh.
-Really? -[snickering]
Fuck you.
[sniffs, chuckles]
[chattering]
[phone buzzes]
Yeah, I won't be, uh, back after my meeting, so I'll see you tomorrow.
Right.
[doorbell rings]
Hi, perfect timing. I need a second opinion.
The selection's come through.
Oh, brilliant.
I'm trying to choose a photo for Elliot's press release.
What about this one?
It's ticking all the boxes.
Active in the community, cares about funding with special ed,
-good with kids, sporty. -Mmm.
Yep, that's the one.
God, I knew you'd be brilliant at this.
Great, um…
So, I had a thought about Phil's exhibition.
Mmm. Yeah.
You're so snowed under with Elliot, what if I took the lead on it?
Just free you up a bit.
Oh, my God. That would be amazing.
Yeah. I mean, it'll give you a chance to run your own thing,
and God, I could do with it off my plate. [sighs]
Thank you so much. [chuckles]
-Great, I've already spoken to Josh. -Oh.
No, he's firmly friend zoned, but we can have a space at Harbourside.
Oh, my God.
Um… Oh, my other thought was what if we got Richard to DJ.
You know, that's not a bad shout actually.
Um…
Shall I-- Shall I get in touch?
Sure, let me ping you his contact. One sec. Let me just…
-[phones buzzes] -Should be--
Got it.
Cool.
[line ringing]
Hey, this is Rich Greenbank. I'm not around. Leave me a message.
I don't really listen to them, but knock yourself out.
[doorbell ringing]
[phone buzzing]
Hi. Hi, Julia.
Hi, Becky, hi. Is it a good time to talk?
It's not actually. Can I give you a call back?
Just a quick one, but I've spoken to Langrove and it's not great.
What's the matter?
Laura from HR said you left early again today.
Apparently, it's the third time this week?
Yes, yes. I had to run an errand, and Mark was going to be out.
[stammering] Also, a laptop's gone missing.
Look, I'm not--
Anyway, they've asked me to find a replacement for you.
What?
I'm going to be honest,
your performance hasn't been up to standard for a while now.
I'm sorry, but I can't in all good conscience
put you forward for another placement.
We're going to have to let you go.
Uh…
I-- It's-It's been a hard time, actually.
Um, if I could explain. I don't know if you know, my mum isn't very well.
-Hi. Um… -Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Becky.
Sorry, Julia, I'm-- I've got to go.
Hello?
Richard?
Hello!
[distorted music playing]
[music fades]
[gagging]
Oh, fuck! Richard!
[panting]
[Becky grunts]
-[line rings] -[dispatcher] 999, what's your emergency?
Um, I need an ambulance immediately, please.
Thank you.
Hey. Are you all right?
-Yeah. -Will you come to mine tonight?
-Yeah. -Okay.
[Livia] He looks like a little boy.
I'm gonna kill him when he wakes up.
[Elliot] This is crazy. He needs a private room.
I'll go with him.
-[Anish] We do not need this right now. -Yes, I know.
Whenever Rich spends too much on drink and drugs,
Elliot always has to bail him out.
[Livia] Okay, yes. We get it.
Sorry, Sash.
Does Tara know you're here?
We broke up.
-[Livia] Shit, I'm sorry. -I broke up with her.
-I think she was a bit obsessed with me. -[Livia laughs]
[Anish] Yep.
-Oh, hey. Hi. -[groans]
[Livia] You thought you'd get away from us that easily, did you? Hmm?
You're all right.
Hmm.
-What is she doing here? -Rich, stop it.
Why is she always here?
[Livia] Well, she helped you, actually.
She saved you, so could you just be nice?
She's fucking Elliot.
[Livia] What?
[Becky] Uh…
Um, I--
Oh, for fuck's sake. She's been gone four months.
And he's been through the wringer. Can we just let the guy live his life?
[Livia] Outside.
[Livia] How long's it been going on?
It's really nothing.
It's not nothing, is it?
You lied to me.
I know.
His wife just died.
He may not look like it, but he's very vulnerable.
What were you thinking?
[Chloe] You think you're some noble detective,
but you're just a fucking loser, creep.
Oh, wow, you're so eloquent. I can really see why he likes you.
[Anish] Um, he's asleep again.
-Shall we go find the others? -[Livia] Yeah.
[Richard grunts]
Hey.
Where are the others?
Uh, they're trying to find you a private room.
Look, I'm sorry I've been a dick.
Um…
I've been in a bad place too.
I know that's not an excuse,
but I did just save your life, so maybe we could start over.
I've definitely met you before.
At school or something.
No, I really don't think so.
[Richard] Hmm.
Um, I--
I-- I wanted to say
I hope you're not blaming yourself for what happened.
To Chloe.
What?
Everyone says you had something very special.
So, what happened?
What the fuck are you asking?
Elliot has this crazy theory.
[chuckles]
"To die by your side."
[snickering]
Sometimes he wonders if that post was meant for you.
Did he say that?
Fuck.
Rich.
Brandon Hill.
We used to smoke weed together on Brandon Hill.
I wasn't there for her.
I said I'd be there for her.
[sniffles]
[phone buzzing]
-[Becky] Chloe. -Richard.
Richard, I really need you. Can you come find me?
No, it's Becky. Becky Green.
[stammering] Uh, shit.
Um, sorry, wrong number.
[sniffling, stammering]
Wait.
It's gonna come back to me.
What school did you go to?
[student] Anyone else know a Becky Green?
Chloe? Do you know her?
[chuckling] Elliot?
Sorry, mate. Sounds like no one knows you here.
Maybe go and make your own friends.
[ringing]
[young Richard chuckling]
[sniffs]
[Elliot] Sasha?
Sorry, I should-- I should go.
Sasha. Wait, wait. Look, I'm sorry about Livia.
I can't come to yours tonight.
Sorry. This-- It's all been a big mistake.
-Let's talk about this. -No, I shouldn't be here.
I literally have no reason to be here.
I have my mum. I need to look after her.
Sasha.
-Sasha! -[quietly] Why do I always do this?
[Pam] Right, time to get up.
That's it.
You are gonna do some revision today.
I just spoke to Angela.
-What did she say? -She said…
you need to stop calling for Chloe.
You'll be all right.
You and me are always all right.
[exhales heavily]
[line ringing]
-[Becky shouting] -[rock music playing on speaker]
-Come on. Yes! -No, no, no, no, no!
-Yes! Come on! [bellows] -Ah!
Get in! Get in!
Whoop! Whoo!
You tried your best, but you didn't succeed.
No, sir.
-Come on, let's play again. -Okay, rematch.
I'm good. I'm good to go. All night, all night.
-Yeah. Come on. -Oh! Oh!
-Oh! I just did it again. -[bartender] Sorry, guys. We're closing.
-[music stops] -Oh, for fuck's sake.
[Josh sighs] Oh, man.
[Becky moaning]
[panting]
You do not like sleeping much, do you?
Okay.
So, how are things with Sir Fairbourne?
[groans]
Over.
Really?
Why?
[Becky] Hmm.
It's just, um, a misunderstanding. I should never have been there.
They all hate me now anyway.
Okay.
Well, you can still move to Japan or wherever.
What the fuck am I gonna do in Japan?
-[chuckles] Whatever you want to do. -What's the point?
Look.
[sighs]
A few years ago,
my mom got really sick.
And she decided not to tell me.
She came up with this whole theory
that if everyone believed she was healthy, she actually would be.
So what are you trying to say?
It didn't work.
Jesus. Fuck.
I didn't-- [sighs]
I didn't-- I didn't come here to talk.
[water running]
[sighs]
What?
Come here.
-What do you want? -Becky Green,
stop being such a fucking asshole and get over here.
-Call me a fucking asshole? -[chuckling]

Um…
I-- I got to go.
Okay. I'll call you.
Don't think we're going down this road again.
You have fucked up your life enough as it is. Get up.
Why, what for?
Come on.
[Becky groans]
What happened to your job?
-Hmm? -[grunts]
You really think I'm an idiot, don't you, Becky?
[Livia] Hey, Sash. Hope you're okay.
Thank you so much for everything you did for Richard.
Look, it would be nice to see you.
I feel really bad.
I'm actually just at a hair appointment in your neck of the woods,
so I'll knock on the door and see if you're in.
Okay. See you soon.
[line ringing]
Hi, you've reached Livia Fulton. Please leave--
[sighs]
[Pam] Where are you off to now?
-Please, I've got to go. -Becky!
-Hi. -Hey.
-Hey.
-Sorry, you scared me. -Oh! Sorry.
-No, no, no. No worries. -Perfect timing.
Did you get my message? I was just about to knock.
Yes, I did. I tried you back. Um--
Sorry, I was just held up at work.
-Hmm. Can I come in for tea, or… -[stammering]
-Maybe not at mine. It's, um-- -Oh. Oh.
No, it's just-- It's my mum. Uh…
-She was just quite bad this morning. -Oh.
Uh, it can just throw her if she has to meet someone new.
-Oh, God, is it that bad? -Yes. Yes.
Yeah, it's a lot.
Uh-- But, you know, she's lovely.
Well, yes. Of course.
-It makes it all worthwhile. -Yeah. [laughs]
Um… Why don't I come to yours?
Yeah, that would be really nice.
Uh…
One thing.
El's coming for dinner, so you might cross paths with him.
Is that okay?
-Yeah, of course. -Great.
-Yesterday was a horrible day all around. -I know.
And, look, I, uh…
I'm sorry.
I was a bit harsh.
I just get worried for him.
Well, it was nothing.
-And it's over. -I know.
It's for the best, I think.
Just don't lie to me again.
I-- I'm really sorry.
I am too.
So, listen, I did actually want to talk to you about something else.
I, um…
I know it's hard work managing our work and your full-time job
-and your mum-- -Yes, sorry.
I really think I might need to stop.
Well, I was-- I was thinking that I could actually start paying you properly.
I do appreciate everything that you've done for me. Really.
What?
Well, just talk to your work, find out what your notice period is.
Liv, I-- I can't.
Just think about it.
-[Phil] Guys! Guys, guys, come on. Sorry. -[child screaming]
[Livia] Auntie Sasha's come to see you two again. Isn't that nice?
-[child] Yeah! -Yeah.
-Love, can you get them in the bath? -Yeah.
-Thank you. -Noah, go on.
-That's Elliot. I'm gonna… -[Phil] Off you go.
-I'll be back in a sec. -It's all right.
[door opens]
-[Livia] Hi, El. Come in. Come in. -[door closes]
-Hi. -[Phil] Livia!
What?
-[Phil] Do you know where Mr Meerkat is? -No, I don't know where Mr Meerkat is.
[Phil] Well, okay.
[phone buzzing]
Um…
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Sorry, I am seriously considering putting them up for adoption.
It's just a nightmare.
Oh, sorry. I'm gonna take this really quickly.
Okay. Of course.
-Hello. -[Christine] Becky, where are you?
I-- Why, what's wrong?
You need to come back now. I can't find your mum.
What-- What do you mean?
-Since when? -I don't know!
I've been looking everywhere near the flats. She's not there.
Where are you?
I've, uh-- I've been held up at work.
I'll check the shops.
You need to come back and check the seafront.
Call me if you find her.
Sorry, I'm-- Um, I've got to go.
-Oh, what's wrong? -It's my mum.
She's gone missing. The carer can't find her.
-[Elliot] What? Shit. -Well, Sasha, what can we do?
Nothing. Nothing. You don't--
I'm just gonna go and look for her.
Listen, let me come with you.
No, she's not good with new people. She's not.
-You sure? -Yeah, definitely.
Maybe he should, love. You can't go on your own.
No, no, it's fine, honestly.
That's just gonna make things worse.
-What can we do? -Nothing. You don't need to do anything.
-I need to go. I need my bag. -Where might she be?
I can call the council. They can look out for her.
-It'll be near Brennan Street, won't it? -No, Glenwood Bay.
-Glenwood Bay? -Uh, yes.
Yes. The carer's already looked around ours.
My mum sometimes gets on a bus. She forgets to get off.
-I'm gonna go. -Go. Call us if you need us, okay?
Mum!
Mum! Mum!
Mum, are you okay?
I need to get to my stall. It's nearly light. I need to open up.
It's evening.
Mum, let's go home. You must be freezing.
You see, um, it's the flea market on Corn Street. Do you know the way?
-Come on. -Excuse me.
Have you heard of personal space?
Right, okay. Can you just come with me, Mum, okay?
Who are you?
'Cause I don't understand. [sobbing]
I can't remember.
[sighs] It's me.
Mum. It's me.
Can we just go home?
Get warm?
[chuckles]
Yeah.
[line ringing]
-[Christine] Hello. -I found her.
-Oh, thank God. -Yeah.
Listen, would you mind not doing a report?
It's just, you know, she's safe and sound and I am gonna be there for her now,
I promise.
I have to do a report, Becky. That's my job.
Yeah, well, I'm asking you not to.
Sorry.
Ugh. Shit.
[Elliot] Sasha?
Stay in the car.
-What are you-- -You okay? Is your mum all right?
Yeah, she's in there. What are you doing?
You left your phone and your house keys at Livia's.
-Thank you. -I thought you'd be locked out.
I was gonna go back to Brennan Street,
but I thought I'd try the bus stop one more time.
-Sorry. Sorry. -Don't apologise.
I'm just glad you're okay. Hello.
-I'm Elliot. -Pam Green.
-Lovely to meet you. -Come on, let's get back in the car.
-Sasha's about to get you home. -That's not Sasha.
It's-- It's me.
-Mum. -No.
Mum.
Look at her hair.
She can never get it to shine. It's a real shame for her.
Well, now, now. There's no need to be mean. [chuckles]
She came here to take you home.
Sasha, is this your fancy man?
Uh…
She's my baby. You look after her.
I'll be sure to.
Come on.
Elvis.
Thank you. Sorry.
-Don't-- It's-- -Just-- Sorry.
Don't be.
You had me worried.
[breathing shakily]
[whimpers]
I don't care if it's too soon.
I don't care if people think it's a mistake.
-It's more than that. -What then?
I fucked up. She could've been really hurt.
It's not your fault.
I had no idea that it was this bad.
-Surely you're not doing this by yourself? -No.
We have a carer who comes for an hour a day, but it's not enough.
That's crazy.
It's too much for you to deal with.
-I mean, have you thought about a home? -[sighs] Yeah.
My grandpa spent a few years at Dudley Manor.
He had a great time.
-Have you thought about it seriously? -[stammers] It's expensive.
There's-- It's a huge waiting list.
Can I-- I need to get her home.
-Sasha. Wait. -Yeah. Yeah.
Um… Look, let me make a few phone calls.
We made a big donation to Dudley Manor after Grandpa died.
-I'm sure they'd be happy to help. -No, no. El, that's-- No.
-But I just want to help. -I know you do.
Um…
You-- Uh, you don't really know me.
-That's just not a good idea. -Why not?
Livia's right. We need to stop this now or you're just going to get hurt.
I think it's a bit late for that.
Look, take each day as it comes.
Put her in there for now. See how it goes.
You can't put your life on hold.
-I should go. -Go.
Drive safe.
[groans]
Sorry, Mum.
What for?
[Pam sighs]
[Pam humming]
[tap dripping]
Shall I do your back?
Lovely.
[humming continues]
You're good to me.
Bit there.
-Fuck you. [laughs] -[chuckles]
God, I'm tired.
You need an early night.
Think I need more than that.
Dug myself into a bit of a hole.
Really?
Yeah.
I know I need to get out of it, but I don't know.
It just feels good, Mum.
Love, you and me…
we never get to pick and choose.
We have to make the most of what we're given.
Yeah.
I could ride it out for a bit.
See how long it can last.
Make the most of it. You'll be all right.
Nah, I can't.
You're beautiful, clever and kind.
The holy trinity.
Just like Chloe?
Who's Chloe?
[chuckles]
[sighs]
[humming continues]
[whispers] I thought she was trying to reach out to me.
I can't believe I thought that.
[baby crying in distance]
-What's that? -That's just next door.
-No, it's not. -It is. It is. I promise.
-Sasha. It's your sister. -Mum.
-Look, I'll get you a towel. -Where's Sasha?
Mum.
-Where's your sister? -She's dead, Mum!
She's dead. She died.
-[Becky sobs] -What have you done?
[Becky] Sorry.
What have you done?
Sorry.
-Sorry. Fuck. -Don't touch me. Get out!
Get out! I don't want you here!
I never wanted you here.
[waves crashing]
[bathwater running, sloshing]
Hey.
Is everything all right?
Hey. Hey.
[both sigh]
What's going on?
-[grunts] -Hey.
Don't worry about it.
I'm sorry.
[Josh] Mm-mmm.
Let's just go to sleep.
[Josh sighs]
[birds chirping]
[sighs]
[knocks]
-Morning. -Morning.
[sipping tea]
Right.
I've been thinking.
I've found you a great place to stay for a bit.
-For a bit. -[sighs]
It's really nice.
-You trying to palm me off? -No.
-No. No, I'm not. -Right.
It's just for a bit, and then I will be there for you.
Properly.
Mum, I promise.
[Pam sighs]
[Elliot] I called them already.
They can do you an amazing deal.
I've paid for the first month and, uh, we'll figure it out after that.
Thank you.
-I will pay you back. -We'll figure it out.
El, I need to talk to Livia.
Look, honestly, trust me.
I know her. Just let the dust settle.
Let her get over herself.
It's not a good idea just yet.
Okay.
How are your chopping skills?
Excellent.
-That's what I like to hear. Here you go. -Okay. [laughs]
-Tiny knife. Tiny hands. -Mmm.
And apron.
Here.
-Thank you. -Turn around.
So, um, tight enough?
-It's great. -Rich is getting out tomorrow.
And I think as a group we ought to spend a bit more time with him.
Yes.
[Richard] I've definitely met you before. School or something.
Um…
El, I've been thinking about that.
Do you think he could have done it on purpose?
Oh, God. Um…
I don't know.
How often does he get wasted?
[sighs] Quite a lot.
It's just-- My friend, Alex, you know, we all thought of her
as the wild party girl, and from one point of view she was.
But then you look at it the other way…
I know, you're absolutely right.
There are some good places, you know,
mental health and addiction facilities, if he'd be willing.
God, you're amazing.
-Got garlic all over my-- -It's fine.
Come on.
Otherwise, we'll never eat.
[crushes garlic]
[phone buzzing]
-[Chloe] You're a fucking loser, creep. -Stop calling me!
You need to stop-- Get out of my--
