Cleaning Up (2019) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
1 These insider traders have info that the public don't know about.
They then invest that info.
Bingo.
You want us to listen to stock market tips at the office.
Bevan Brothers Steel.
How much will we invest? It depends on you.
My money.
I will pay you back, OK? I know we've gone over Sam's gambling.
I think the girls should come and live with me full-time.
I want this month's payment plus the last two you missed.
That's £1,500.
What happened to our payment plan? The one you failed to pay for the last two months? How's your mum doing? She's all right.
The cafe is struggling and I think we're gonna have to give it up.
How would you feel about getting bunkbeds? I need you to move into Lily's room.
I'm gonna get a lodger in.
My dad wouldn't chuck me out of my room.
We've made over £250 already.
It's worked! Mum! What? It's Alice.
Try her phone again.
She still isn't answering.
'It's Alice.
I'm not about.
Leave a message.
' I'm gonna kill her when I get hold of her.
Where does this Jake live? That's where she'll have gone.
Hey, Emily.
You haven't seen Alice, have ya? No, I haven't.
Is everything all right? She's gone missing so no, it's not all right.
This Jake she's been seeing, do you know where he lives? No, I don't know.
Not round here.
Who are you anyway? The police? Oh, get lost, you useless twat.
Think you're big and clever in front of your bloody mates? It's past your bedtime, little man.
It's Dad.
Run over for your bedtime story.
Mum! What? Right.
Stay there.
Stay in the car, OK? Where is she? She's fine.
Just calm down.
I need to speak to her.
Look.
I've already told her off.
She knows what she's done and that she shouldn't have done it.
She's gonna stay here for a few days.
No, no, no.
She's not staying here.
Go and get her, please.
Alice.
Your mum's here.
Oh.
Hi, Sam.
Hey.
Can I get you a drink or? No, thank you.
What is it? What do you want? What do I want? I want you to come home.
Stop all this nonsense and go and get your stuff, please.
I'm not going anywhere.
You seriously wanna stay here, with her? At least she doesn't treat me like a slave.
"Alice, do this.
Alice, do that.
" That's all I ever get from you.
Darling, I know you're upset, OK? Just come home.
Come on, we'll talk about it at home.
You gave away my bedroom to some random guy.
Why would I come back? I need my own space, OK? I'm staying here.
If you won't let me, I'll tell Dad about the lodger.
He doesn't know about that yet.
Sleep well.
Give me a kiss.
Mwah.
I love you.
Mum? Yeah? When's Alice coming home? She'll be home soon, I promise.
OK.
Good night, sweetheart.
Night, Mum.
Lily, darling? I forgot to get sweetcorn so is it OK to just have tuna sandwiches today? Yeah.
Good girl.
When I next get paid, I'll get a big shop in, yeah? Some nice treats for you.
I'll get it.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hello, Twinkle Toes.
Mum? It's Jess.
Hey, I just got out of work.
Have you seen the share - Shh.
It's gone through the roof.
Yes, I know, I've seen it.
Look.
So, what do you think? Should we sell? No, no.
Gotta hold on, love.
Don't get out too soon.
Let's just see.
See what happens.
OK.
Shh.
Mwah.
You be a good girl, OK, please? OK.
I love you, darling.
Bye.
Bye.
All right? Just dropped Alice off.
Lily all right? Yeah, she's fine.
Has Alice got her exercise book? She's got a maths test coming up.
Think so.
She never said.
So, what is it you want? It'd be good if you could see things from my point of view.
Ugh.
Look, I need to get to work.
I know you're a good mum but the girls need looking after properly.
You're not even there for 'em in the evening.
Who's gonna look after Lily now? I've changed my shifts and I'm getting a new job so there won't be a problem, will there? You're getting a new job? Yeah.
I have an interview for one tomorrow, in fact.
Doing what? It's an office job.
It's well paid and it's got flexible working hours to fit around the girls.
Great.
What's the company called? Never mind what the company's called.
It's a good job.
That's all you need to know.
We've only dropped, like, £5 a share.
'We should've sold this morning.
' Don't know why I always listen to you.
Hey, you always listen to me cos I know what's best.
I've steered you out of no end of trouble.
Just ask your mum.
'Yeah, whatever.
' Look, £22 is still really good.
Let's just sell now before it drops any more.
SIGHS OK.
OK.
I'm gonna sell at £22.
Done.
So, we've made a £600 profit so that's £300 each.
Not bad.
Yeah.
How much money have you actually got in your savings account? Why? You know, for next time.
£2,123.
Two thous Are you kidding me? If we'd have put £2,000 down, we'd have a grand now each.
Yeah, but you know I'm saving that.
I don't wanna touch it.
You could've doubled it.
Don't you see? The more you put in the more you get out.
That's how it works.
Oh, for God's sake.
What? June from next-door, she can't look after Lily tonight.
Well, where's Alice, though? She's staying with her dad for a few nights.
Hello, Sam? 'Glynn, I'm having a nightmare day.
'Is there any chance you could look after Lily for me?' OK.
'Great, thank you.
Thank you.
' Do I need to feed her or something? 'No, no.
You just need to watch her.
' OK.
As in, literally just watch her? Hey.
Hey.
I'm gonna I'm gonna watch you tonight.
What? Your neighbour is I'm gonna be watching you tonight.
OK, let's just start this again.
Erm, your babysitter can't make it so I'm gonna be watching over you tonight.
You know, like, looking after you.
That's literally all I had to say.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You don't need to worry.
I'm gonna be in my bedroom if there's anything you need.
OK? OK.
Great.
We need to go in again and we need to go in even bigger.
The full £2,000 this time, plus the money that we made from the Bevan Brothers Steel.
I don't know.
We got away with it once.
We made some money.
Maybe we should just be happy with that.
No, look, OK, stop.
You wanna keep your mum's cafe alive.
Ain't that why we're doing this? Well, yeah, but it's still against the law.
I think my mum would much rather her business go under than have another one of her kids in prison.
Come on.
That's never gonna happen.
The chances of us getting caught are, like, a billion to one.
Nobody cares what we do.
I care.
So, what, that's it, is it? You wanna give in? Give up, be a cleaner for the rest of your life.
You know I don't want that.
Exactly.
That's why we're gonna raise the money for your van and it's gonna be the best coffee and cake thingy-ma-bob in the land.
Come on, you are a fighter.
I'm not letting you give in, OK? We've seen it happen once, it will happen again.
I promise.
Viktor, we're really sorry.
The DLR broke down.
We'd be even later if we hadn't run all the way.
Ain't that right, Jess? Yeah.
Bloody public transport.
Always lets you down.
I was cleaning at my other job and they kept me late.
I will work 20 minutes later to make up time.
How dare you tell me how late you work? I decide what times, I decide what days.
I decide who stays and who goes.
You understand? I didn't mean to tell you what to do.
Just I really need this job.
It won't happen again.
Ooh.
Ugh.
Idiot.
Let's go.
Christine from our research department did a report on them recently.
Yeah.
Erm Unstable business model.
That's what she reckons.
'Are we talking about the same company here? They make 3D printers.
' 'If that information is reliable, they're gonna blow the competition away.
'When's the announcement?' 'That's this weekend.
OK, look.
'Everything you have in their rivals, you should sell.
'OK? Cos by the sounds of it, their stocks are about to drop like a stone.
' Hello, mate.
Is this a good time? 'One sec.
Yeah.
I'll call you back.
' 'What's this, then?' Who are they? I don't know.
It doesn't look good.
Sam, what are you doing? I wanna hear what they're saying.
Come back.
Sam.
Shit.
Is that it? Yeah.
We need to find out who's behind this.
Check if there's any more surveillance anywhere immediately.
And your hard drives, we'll need to take those.
What for? To run some diagnostics.
Someone could have been spying on your trading accounts.
You do realise how serious this is, Blake? OK, but that's ridiculous.
What is it? What did they say? They don't think it's us, do they? No, I think we're the last people in the world they'd suspect.
He's not gonna be talking in his office, any more, though.
Even if we still had the listening device.
Hey.
We do have this.
You heard what he said.
Some company that makes 3D printers is making a big announcement this weekend.
They're gonna blow the competition away.
Yeah, but we didn't get a name.
No, but he did say that some woman called Christine, who worked in research, did a report on them.
That's downstairs.
So what? So all we need to do is track her down, find the report and then we'll know the name of the company.
Yeah, right.
We just track her down, use our high-power computer skills to log into her hard drive.
Look, maybe we should just cool it for now, you know? Try and stay out of trouble.
Time is of the essence.
You know how it works.
Come on, we have to find out the name of this company before that announcement.
Jess, I really need this.
She makes it so difficult.
She's an addict.
Of course it's gonna be difficult.
Yeah.
Have you talked to her about the rent yet? No, not yet.
I will.
You know I'm with you all the way with this, right? What's the matter? I just worry if I'm doing the right thing.
I think you are.
And I think it's good Alice stays here for a while.
When we get Lily too, hopefully it'll give Sam the push she needs to get some help.
You look very smart.
Oh, thank you, Glynn.
Who did you say had died? Nobody.
I've got an interview at a recruitment centre.
Right.
I must've been thinking of someone else.
So you're still OK for this afternoon? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's OK.
Are you sure? Cos if you've got plans with your uni friends, I can always ask her dad.
No, I'm happy to do it.
OK, great, thank you.
I'll let the school know.
OK.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
'Spin again.
' 'Spin again.
' Well, I've been a full-time mum now for many years, raising two girls.
I don't know if either of you have got kids but, as you know, that is quite a job.
Before that I was a dancer.
Did a couple of musicals, played Nancy in Oliver.
But yeah, sadly, those days are well and truly behind me now.
Great times but yeah.
Well, musicals.
Sounds very exciting, doesn't it, Ruth? Yes.
Very exciting.
Do you have any experience in an office? Most of our clients are in the admin sector.
Well, I currently clean in an office.
I gather that's not what you mean.
No, I mean on a computer.
How are you at office-based software? Microsoft Word, Excel, those sorts of things.
Well, my husband used to run his own plumbing business and I would take care of the books.
You should've seen these things.
Works of art, they were.
That's great.
So they were hand-written.
You didn't use a computer? Software like Excel, something like that? They were hand-written, yeah, but Excel, of course, yeah.
I mean, I've used that loads of times.
I'm very familiar with that software.
Yeah.
Well, that's great.
Isn't it, Ruth? Yeah.
That's really good.
OK.
Well, I don't want you to panic cos someone with your experience won't find this a problem but we have been doing a little test with all of our new recruits.
If you just turn around, you'll see the computer in the booth behind you.
Number four.
Like I said, nothing to worry about.
Just a few tasks and questions on Excel to gauge your competency.
Won't take long.
Then we can carry on with our little chat.
Oh.
You mean now? Yeah.
Oh.
Erm, OK.
Yeah, I'll just leave that there.
Number four, was it? Everything OK? What's the problem? Er I think I may have exaggerated my capabilities on Excel ever so slightly.
Thanks for your time.
'Welcome to Ladies Night Casino.
'Out of funds.
' Called Tom about any work lately? Chris? No.
He's brought in a bunch of Polish guys.
I ain't working for them prices.
Can't just sit around the flat playing computer games all day.
What about Sam's Dave? He often knows a chippy looking for a helping hand.
Yeah, I'll get on it.
I'm going out tonight, by the way.
There's some nuggets in the freezer.
Maybe stick them in the oven when you get home.
Oh, great, thanks.
I don't care.
Where's my mum? Your mum said that she had something she had to do this afternoon so I said I didn't mind getting you.
Oh.
Saphira's supposed to be coming round for tea tonight.
Your mum didn't say anything about that.
She must've forgot.
She comes round every Wednesday.
Yeah.
OK.
Hey, Sam, it's me, Glynn.
Just wondering when you might be home.
Don't worry, nothing's happened but just give me a call when you get this, OK? Hey, Glynn.
Look, I'm Lady Gaga.
Got it! Hey! Right, no.
Girls, girls, girls.
Just stop, all right? You're gonna hurt yourselves.
Please stop.
Hi.
Is Sam in? Not right now, no.
Maybe you can help.
I was a bit late getting to school today but when I got there, Saphira was already gone.
People said they saw her go home with Lily.
Glynn.
Mum.
What the hell's going on? Sorry.
Come on.
Hello.
Glynn? What? Yeah, no.
OK, yeah.
Erm I'll be home in 20 minutes.
OK, bye.
Oh.
Sorry.
OK, but do you know what you're saying sorry for? Cos sorry on its own doesn't mean anything.
You lied, Lily.
You told a lie, that's what I'm cross about.
You lied to Glynn, you had Saphira's mum scared half to death.
I'll be in trouble with the school over this.
I want you to apologise to Glynn and I want you to mean it, OK? I didn't mean to get you in trouble.
I know you didn't.
What else is the matter? Come on.
Tell me.
Do you think I could stay with Dad for a couple of days? Er, what? Erm Is that what you want? I thought you liked living here with me.
I do.
It's just, you're never here, you're at work.
And I miss Alice.
OK.
Yeah, I'll talk to your dad about it.
Why don't you go upstairs and wash that stuff off your face, OK? SIGHS I've been trying to call you.
Look what I found.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's great.
It needs a bit of work but I managed to talk the guy down from £3,500 to £2,800.
It'll be tight but with what I've got in savings and the money in our shares account, I've got just enough to cover it.
I'll struggle to find another one this good for that price.
What do you think? Yeah, no, it's great.
What's the problem? I've let you down, OK, but I'll get all the money back.
I promise.
How much do we have left? You spent all of it.
You've not been gambling again, have ya? You were doing so well.
No, I just You know how things are at the moment.
I just needed it to pay some legal fees.
Jess, I'm so sorry.
We'll get it all back, though.
We'll get you an even bigger van.
One with all the mod-cons.
This 3D company, that's the answer.
We just need to get inside the research department, find out who this Christine woman is and then find her report.
That'll give us the name - No, thanks.
I'll get your money back.
You shouldn't have taken it in the first place.
Oh.
Thank you.
Hello, Kramer Lowe.
'Oh, hi.
I'm just calling from reception in the lobby.
'You've got a package here for Christine.
'She needs to come down and sign for it.
' 'OK.
Thanks.
' Thanks.
Chris, there's a package waiting for you down at reception.
Oh, OK.
Mina.
What are you doing here? Can I have a word with you? It'll take a minute.
I have seven more bathrooms to clean before five and I'm already behind.
This won't take long.
You clean this floor, right? Yeah.
OK, well, this is gonna sound a little strange but I need your help with something.
Listen, now is not good.
It'll take one minute.
Please.
I promise.
Viktor is trying to test me.
He will kick me out if I don't finish on time today.
Come on, he won't kick you out.
Who would he get to do all the translating? OK, OK, look, I'll pay you to help me.
You'll pay me.
Yeah.
To do what? This is a no-question-asked type scenario.
I need two things.
One, I need to borrow your pass.
Two, I need you to break the glass on the fire alarm out there.
Why do you need me to do that? I just need you to, OK? For no-questions-asked, I will pay you £50.
I don't know, Sam.
I can't afford to lose this job.
All you've gotta do is break the glass, run down the stairs and I'll give you £50.
That's all.
Plus, there's no way you could get all those toilets cleaned if there's a fire in the building, could you? OK.
But for no questions, I think I need £100.
Not a drill, guys.
Come on, everybody out.
Musical chairs.
Check the toilet again.
Who was that? Just Sam.
Oh, how's she getting on now? Yeah, she's OK.
You know what? I reckon you two should do something together.
And I don't mean cleaning.
You're both too smart to be wiping shitty toilets.
Yeah, but, you know, that's just a temporary thing.
Look, this is what I want.
I've got it all worked out.
I just need to get a bit more money so I can get a van and then we'll be sorted.
It's a good idea, love, but I don't know if I can face starting all over again.
But it wouldn't be.
Look, I know, it's scary.
But I'll make it work.
Turn that down, shall we? I was listening to that.
I know, but it's a bit loud, isn't it? So, girls.
I was wondering what you might like to eat for supper this evening.
I was thinking linguine with pesto and spinach? What's linguine? It's a pasta.
It's like spaghetti but flat, not round.
Oh, is it like Spaghetti Hoops? No.
No, not quite.
Alice? Yeah, don't worry about me.
Where are you going? I'm heading out.
Can I come? No.
You're not staying for supper? Your dad didn't mention anything.
Yeah, I spoke to him earlier.
He's cool.
I'll just grab something later.
Tell him I'll be back around ten.
Looks like it's just you and me, then.
What are you drawing? Can I have a look? I copied this from a magazine at school.
All right.
Yeah, your dad told me you liked drawing but I had no idea you were this good.
You know I love art too? No.
Yeah.
I love to paint when I can.
I find it relaxes me.
I'm not as good as you, though.
These are extraordinary.
Look at him.
Punching a bag.
That's no big thing.
You think you could do better? Course I can.
My mum could punch harder than that.
It's not all about how hard you punch.
It's about rhythm, technique, movement.
In that case, I've got 11 years of dance school behind me.
I could out-move you all day long.
Sorry, does it look like we're doing ballet in here? I don't know what it looks like but it doesn't look like much.
So you're a big talker, yeah? All right, cool.
Put your money where your mouth is, then.
OK.
Ugh, they're all sweaty and horrible.
All right, start off slowly, yeah? The bag's quite heavy, you don't wanna hurt your wrist.
OK.
Like that? Yeah.
Whoa, OK, OK, easy, tiger.
We're not We're not trying to knock anyone's head off here.
You might not be.
Working a little late today, aren't we, Sam? You're usually on the school run by now.
The girls are with their dad today.
Not that it's any of your business.
I'm starting to take it personally, you not returning my texts, but do you know what really puzzles me? Why someone who's desperately short on money still wears their wedding ring and their engagement ring, despite claiming that they recently got divorced.
I don't know what sort of sentimental value you place on jewellery from your divorced husband but if you're struggling to pay the £17,000, something like that'd certainly help.
I don't believe you're waiting on a court settlement.
I really don't want the bailiffs getting involved in all this.
It'd be very traumatic for the children - your children.
I need something today, Sam.
Might as well be those rings, eh.
I can't give you my rings.
Don't be an idiot.
I'll have the bailiffs round your house in 20 minutes.
You'll end up losing them anyway.
What are you doing? You said you needed something today.
Here you go.
What, your car? I don't know how much you'll get for it.
There's about 80,000 on the clock but the MOT's not due till next March.
If you don't mind, I need to go.
I need to get to work.
You all right, Jess? You're back early.
Wanna watch TV? No, I'm all right.
I'm a bit tired.
I'm just gonna go to bed.
All right, suit yourself.
Hey, Jess.
You OK? Yep.
Look, I'm so sorry about everything.
I hate this, please.
Maybe we can go for a drink after work and go through those reports together, eh? No, thanks.
I gotta get back.
Hey, what's up? I've come for my money.
£100, like you said.
Yeah, I don't have it on me right now.
I'm gonna get it, obviously, but I don't have it just now.
How long must I wait? Because I really need it.
Soon.
I'm just waiting on something.
You're suspended, pending an investigation.
Excuse me? What is it I'm supposed to have done? We found some anomalies on your original hard drive.
Another greedy pig banker.
Stealing from everybody while we wipe their tables and clean their toilets.
This is ridiculous.
I spit on them.
You're making a big mistake.
OK.
Skytech Instruments deal with aeroplanes.
Jenkins Blue are finance.
Redstein Group.
It's a 3D printing company.
Glynn? Glynn! Oh, Sam.
Didn't know you were there.
Is everything OK? Erm, is my music too loud? No, no, everything's fine.
I just wondered, are you busy right now? No.
Unfortunately not.
I got this from a scrapyard yesterday afternoon.
The guy said it was completely dead.
I just checked it over.
It just needs a new fuse, the cylinder's come loose and the waste pipe's blocked.
It's gonna take me ten minutes to fix.
Oh, right.
You're disappointed because that's too quick? Well, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a washing machine.
That was my weekend project.
Right, I see.
Sorry, I was just gonna ask instead of paying me weekly, is it possible you could pay me one lump sum every month? Whatever's easiest.
How come? Just so I can organise my finances.
So, could you start this morning, with this month's rent? £600, that'd be great.
Erm, yeah.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you, Glynn.
Erm, I was just wondering, what's happening with your friend Jess and her boyfriend? I haven't seen her in a while and I just erm I just was wondering, did she? You know, was he? Er, I don't know.
No, I don't know.
She's not told me yet.
Oh, OK.
Thanks.
Cheers, Glynn.
Alice, what's wrong? 'Mum, you need to come and get me.
' Where's the car? What's happened? Nothing.
Who's done this? Some 17-year-old thug she's been seeing, that's who.
Jake did this? It was an accident, OK? You know about this? I met him at his boxing gym.
I was messing around.
Boxing and sex with 15-year-olds.
Do you know that's against the law? Statutory rape, that's called.
Jesus, I haven't had sex with him! Good.
Cos if you had, I'd be ringing the police right now.
I think we're getting carried away, don't you? Alice said it was an accident.
Let me see this properly.
Have you given her ice to take the swelling down? No.
He's more bothered with being ridiculous and telling me off.
That's not true.
I think it's best the girls come home with me.
Tell Lily to get her things.
Mum, where is the car? Oh, the head gasket's gone.
It's a total write-off so we're on the DLR, I'm afraid.
Give me your bags, darling.
I hope you've learnt your lesson and it's the last time you'll be in a boxing gym.
Why is that, then? Well, look at your face, there's your answer.
People punching each other, it should've been banned years ago.
Stick with your dancing.
That requires grace and elegance.
Control and discipline.
That is an artform.
I think boxing's an art form.
Oh, really? Yeah, I do.
I think I wanna give it another go.
I like it.
That's good.
Gone out the lines a little bit there.
It's OK, I can fix it.
I know.
'The next train on platform two is for Lewisham.
' 'I didn't realise it was that bad.
'I really caught you there, sorry.
' No, it was my fault.
It looks worse than it is.
It doesn't hurt.
'So, you still wanna swing by again on Monday? Give it another go?' Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, if you don't mind me tagging along.
'No, no.
Just remember to keep your hands up this time.
'We don't want the same on the other eye.
' Yeah, I will, yeah.
Er So I'll see you Monday, yeah? 'Yeah.
Catch you later.
' Oh, shit.
There's two companies.
They then invest that info.
Bingo.
You want us to listen to stock market tips at the office.
Bevan Brothers Steel.
How much will we invest? It depends on you.
My money.
I will pay you back, OK? I know we've gone over Sam's gambling.
I think the girls should come and live with me full-time.
I want this month's payment plus the last two you missed.
That's £1,500.
What happened to our payment plan? The one you failed to pay for the last two months? How's your mum doing? She's all right.
The cafe is struggling and I think we're gonna have to give it up.
How would you feel about getting bunkbeds? I need you to move into Lily's room.
I'm gonna get a lodger in.
My dad wouldn't chuck me out of my room.
We've made over £250 already.
It's worked! Mum! What? It's Alice.
Try her phone again.
She still isn't answering.
'It's Alice.
I'm not about.
Leave a message.
' I'm gonna kill her when I get hold of her.
Where does this Jake live? That's where she'll have gone.
Hey, Emily.
You haven't seen Alice, have ya? No, I haven't.
Is everything all right? She's gone missing so no, it's not all right.
This Jake she's been seeing, do you know where he lives? No, I don't know.
Not round here.
Who are you anyway? The police? Oh, get lost, you useless twat.
Think you're big and clever in front of your bloody mates? It's past your bedtime, little man.
It's Dad.
Run over for your bedtime story.
Mum! What? Right.
Stay there.
Stay in the car, OK? Where is she? She's fine.
Just calm down.
I need to speak to her.
Look.
I've already told her off.
She knows what she's done and that she shouldn't have done it.
She's gonna stay here for a few days.
No, no, no.
She's not staying here.
Go and get her, please.
Alice.
Your mum's here.
Oh.
Hi, Sam.
Hey.
Can I get you a drink or? No, thank you.
What is it? What do you want? What do I want? I want you to come home.
Stop all this nonsense and go and get your stuff, please.
I'm not going anywhere.
You seriously wanna stay here, with her? At least she doesn't treat me like a slave.
"Alice, do this.
Alice, do that.
" That's all I ever get from you.
Darling, I know you're upset, OK? Just come home.
Come on, we'll talk about it at home.
You gave away my bedroom to some random guy.
Why would I come back? I need my own space, OK? I'm staying here.
If you won't let me, I'll tell Dad about the lodger.
He doesn't know about that yet.
Sleep well.
Give me a kiss.
Mwah.
I love you.
Mum? Yeah? When's Alice coming home? She'll be home soon, I promise.
OK.
Good night, sweetheart.
Night, Mum.
Lily, darling? I forgot to get sweetcorn so is it OK to just have tuna sandwiches today? Yeah.
Good girl.
When I next get paid, I'll get a big shop in, yeah? Some nice treats for you.
I'll get it.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hello, Twinkle Toes.
Mum? It's Jess.
Hey, I just got out of work.
Have you seen the share - Shh.
It's gone through the roof.
Yes, I know, I've seen it.
Look.
So, what do you think? Should we sell? No, no.
Gotta hold on, love.
Don't get out too soon.
Let's just see.
See what happens.
OK.
Shh.
Mwah.
You be a good girl, OK, please? OK.
I love you, darling.
Bye.
Bye.
All right? Just dropped Alice off.
Lily all right? Yeah, she's fine.
Has Alice got her exercise book? She's got a maths test coming up.
Think so.
She never said.
So, what is it you want? It'd be good if you could see things from my point of view.
Ugh.
Look, I need to get to work.
I know you're a good mum but the girls need looking after properly.
You're not even there for 'em in the evening.
Who's gonna look after Lily now? I've changed my shifts and I'm getting a new job so there won't be a problem, will there? You're getting a new job? Yeah.
I have an interview for one tomorrow, in fact.
Doing what? It's an office job.
It's well paid and it's got flexible working hours to fit around the girls.
Great.
What's the company called? Never mind what the company's called.
It's a good job.
That's all you need to know.
We've only dropped, like, £5 a share.
'We should've sold this morning.
' Don't know why I always listen to you.
Hey, you always listen to me cos I know what's best.
I've steered you out of no end of trouble.
Just ask your mum.
'Yeah, whatever.
' Look, £22 is still really good.
Let's just sell now before it drops any more.
SIGHS OK.
OK.
I'm gonna sell at £22.
Done.
So, we've made a £600 profit so that's £300 each.
Not bad.
Yeah.
How much money have you actually got in your savings account? Why? You know, for next time.
£2,123.
Two thous Are you kidding me? If we'd have put £2,000 down, we'd have a grand now each.
Yeah, but you know I'm saving that.
I don't wanna touch it.
You could've doubled it.
Don't you see? The more you put in the more you get out.
That's how it works.
Oh, for God's sake.
What? June from next-door, she can't look after Lily tonight.
Well, where's Alice, though? She's staying with her dad for a few nights.
Hello, Sam? 'Glynn, I'm having a nightmare day.
'Is there any chance you could look after Lily for me?' OK.
'Great, thank you.
Thank you.
' Do I need to feed her or something? 'No, no.
You just need to watch her.
' OK.
As in, literally just watch her? Hey.
Hey.
I'm gonna I'm gonna watch you tonight.
What? Your neighbour is I'm gonna be watching you tonight.
OK, let's just start this again.
Erm, your babysitter can't make it so I'm gonna be watching over you tonight.
You know, like, looking after you.
That's literally all I had to say.
Everything's gonna be fine.
You don't need to worry.
I'm gonna be in my bedroom if there's anything you need.
OK? OK.
Great.
We need to go in again and we need to go in even bigger.
The full £2,000 this time, plus the money that we made from the Bevan Brothers Steel.
I don't know.
We got away with it once.
We made some money.
Maybe we should just be happy with that.
No, look, OK, stop.
You wanna keep your mum's cafe alive.
Ain't that why we're doing this? Well, yeah, but it's still against the law.
I think my mum would much rather her business go under than have another one of her kids in prison.
Come on.
That's never gonna happen.
The chances of us getting caught are, like, a billion to one.
Nobody cares what we do.
I care.
So, what, that's it, is it? You wanna give in? Give up, be a cleaner for the rest of your life.
You know I don't want that.
Exactly.
That's why we're gonna raise the money for your van and it's gonna be the best coffee and cake thingy-ma-bob in the land.
Come on, you are a fighter.
I'm not letting you give in, OK? We've seen it happen once, it will happen again.
I promise.
Viktor, we're really sorry.
The DLR broke down.
We'd be even later if we hadn't run all the way.
Ain't that right, Jess? Yeah.
Bloody public transport.
Always lets you down.
I was cleaning at my other job and they kept me late.
I will work 20 minutes later to make up time.
How dare you tell me how late you work? I decide what times, I decide what days.
I decide who stays and who goes.
You understand? I didn't mean to tell you what to do.
Just I really need this job.
It won't happen again.
Ooh.
Ugh.
Idiot.
Let's go.
Christine from our research department did a report on them recently.
Yeah.
Erm Unstable business model.
That's what she reckons.
'Are we talking about the same company here? They make 3D printers.
' 'If that information is reliable, they're gonna blow the competition away.
'When's the announcement?' 'That's this weekend.
OK, look.
'Everything you have in their rivals, you should sell.
'OK? Cos by the sounds of it, their stocks are about to drop like a stone.
' Hello, mate.
Is this a good time? 'One sec.
Yeah.
I'll call you back.
' 'What's this, then?' Who are they? I don't know.
It doesn't look good.
Sam, what are you doing? I wanna hear what they're saying.
Come back.
Sam.
Shit.
Is that it? Yeah.
We need to find out who's behind this.
Check if there's any more surveillance anywhere immediately.
And your hard drives, we'll need to take those.
What for? To run some diagnostics.
Someone could have been spying on your trading accounts.
You do realise how serious this is, Blake? OK, but that's ridiculous.
What is it? What did they say? They don't think it's us, do they? No, I think we're the last people in the world they'd suspect.
He's not gonna be talking in his office, any more, though.
Even if we still had the listening device.
Hey.
We do have this.
You heard what he said.
Some company that makes 3D printers is making a big announcement this weekend.
They're gonna blow the competition away.
Yeah, but we didn't get a name.
No, but he did say that some woman called Christine, who worked in research, did a report on them.
That's downstairs.
So what? So all we need to do is track her down, find the report and then we'll know the name of the company.
Yeah, right.
We just track her down, use our high-power computer skills to log into her hard drive.
Look, maybe we should just cool it for now, you know? Try and stay out of trouble.
Time is of the essence.
You know how it works.
Come on, we have to find out the name of this company before that announcement.
Jess, I really need this.
She makes it so difficult.
She's an addict.
Of course it's gonna be difficult.
Yeah.
Have you talked to her about the rent yet? No, not yet.
I will.
You know I'm with you all the way with this, right? What's the matter? I just worry if I'm doing the right thing.
I think you are.
And I think it's good Alice stays here for a while.
When we get Lily too, hopefully it'll give Sam the push she needs to get some help.
You look very smart.
Oh, thank you, Glynn.
Who did you say had died? Nobody.
I've got an interview at a recruitment centre.
Right.
I must've been thinking of someone else.
So you're still OK for this afternoon? Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that's OK.
Are you sure? Cos if you've got plans with your uni friends, I can always ask her dad.
No, I'm happy to do it.
OK, great, thank you.
I'll let the school know.
OK.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
'Spin again.
' 'Spin again.
' Well, I've been a full-time mum now for many years, raising two girls.
I don't know if either of you have got kids but, as you know, that is quite a job.
Before that I was a dancer.
Did a couple of musicals, played Nancy in Oliver.
But yeah, sadly, those days are well and truly behind me now.
Great times but yeah.
Well, musicals.
Sounds very exciting, doesn't it, Ruth? Yes.
Very exciting.
Do you have any experience in an office? Most of our clients are in the admin sector.
Well, I currently clean in an office.
I gather that's not what you mean.
No, I mean on a computer.
How are you at office-based software? Microsoft Word, Excel, those sorts of things.
Well, my husband used to run his own plumbing business and I would take care of the books.
You should've seen these things.
Works of art, they were.
That's great.
So they were hand-written.
You didn't use a computer? Software like Excel, something like that? They were hand-written, yeah, but Excel, of course, yeah.
I mean, I've used that loads of times.
I'm very familiar with that software.
Yeah.
Well, that's great.
Isn't it, Ruth? Yeah.
That's really good.
OK.
Well, I don't want you to panic cos someone with your experience won't find this a problem but we have been doing a little test with all of our new recruits.
If you just turn around, you'll see the computer in the booth behind you.
Number four.
Like I said, nothing to worry about.
Just a few tasks and questions on Excel to gauge your competency.
Won't take long.
Then we can carry on with our little chat.
Oh.
You mean now? Yeah.
Oh.
Erm, OK.
Yeah, I'll just leave that there.
Number four, was it? Everything OK? What's the problem? Er I think I may have exaggerated my capabilities on Excel ever so slightly.
Thanks for your time.
'Welcome to Ladies Night Casino.
'Out of funds.
' Called Tom about any work lately? Chris? No.
He's brought in a bunch of Polish guys.
I ain't working for them prices.
Can't just sit around the flat playing computer games all day.
What about Sam's Dave? He often knows a chippy looking for a helping hand.
Yeah, I'll get on it.
I'm going out tonight, by the way.
There's some nuggets in the freezer.
Maybe stick them in the oven when you get home.
Oh, great, thanks.
I don't care.
Where's my mum? Your mum said that she had something she had to do this afternoon so I said I didn't mind getting you.
Oh.
Saphira's supposed to be coming round for tea tonight.
Your mum didn't say anything about that.
She must've forgot.
She comes round every Wednesday.
Yeah.
OK.
Hey, Sam, it's me, Glynn.
Just wondering when you might be home.
Don't worry, nothing's happened but just give me a call when you get this, OK? Hey, Glynn.
Look, I'm Lady Gaga.
Got it! Hey! Right, no.
Girls, girls, girls.
Just stop, all right? You're gonna hurt yourselves.
Please stop.
Hi.
Is Sam in? Not right now, no.
Maybe you can help.
I was a bit late getting to school today but when I got there, Saphira was already gone.
People said they saw her go home with Lily.
Glynn.
Mum.
What the hell's going on? Sorry.
Come on.
Hello.
Glynn? What? Yeah, no.
OK, yeah.
Erm I'll be home in 20 minutes.
OK, bye.
Oh.
Sorry.
OK, but do you know what you're saying sorry for? Cos sorry on its own doesn't mean anything.
You lied, Lily.
You told a lie, that's what I'm cross about.
You lied to Glynn, you had Saphira's mum scared half to death.
I'll be in trouble with the school over this.
I want you to apologise to Glynn and I want you to mean it, OK? I didn't mean to get you in trouble.
I know you didn't.
What else is the matter? Come on.
Tell me.
Do you think I could stay with Dad for a couple of days? Er, what? Erm Is that what you want? I thought you liked living here with me.
I do.
It's just, you're never here, you're at work.
And I miss Alice.
OK.
Yeah, I'll talk to your dad about it.
Why don't you go upstairs and wash that stuff off your face, OK? SIGHS I've been trying to call you.
Look what I found.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that's great.
It needs a bit of work but I managed to talk the guy down from £3,500 to £2,800.
It'll be tight but with what I've got in savings and the money in our shares account, I've got just enough to cover it.
I'll struggle to find another one this good for that price.
What do you think? Yeah, no, it's great.
What's the problem? I've let you down, OK, but I'll get all the money back.
I promise.
How much do we have left? You spent all of it.
You've not been gambling again, have ya? You were doing so well.
No, I just You know how things are at the moment.
I just needed it to pay some legal fees.
Jess, I'm so sorry.
We'll get it all back, though.
We'll get you an even bigger van.
One with all the mod-cons.
This 3D company, that's the answer.
We just need to get inside the research department, find out who this Christine woman is and then find her report.
That'll give us the name - No, thanks.
I'll get your money back.
You shouldn't have taken it in the first place.
Oh.
Thank you.
Hello, Kramer Lowe.
'Oh, hi.
I'm just calling from reception in the lobby.
'You've got a package here for Christine.
'She needs to come down and sign for it.
' 'OK.
Thanks.
' Thanks.
Chris, there's a package waiting for you down at reception.
Oh, OK.
Mina.
What are you doing here? Can I have a word with you? It'll take a minute.
I have seven more bathrooms to clean before five and I'm already behind.
This won't take long.
You clean this floor, right? Yeah.
OK, well, this is gonna sound a little strange but I need your help with something.
Listen, now is not good.
It'll take one minute.
Please.
I promise.
Viktor is trying to test me.
He will kick me out if I don't finish on time today.
Come on, he won't kick you out.
Who would he get to do all the translating? OK, OK, look, I'll pay you to help me.
You'll pay me.
Yeah.
To do what? This is a no-question-asked type scenario.
I need two things.
One, I need to borrow your pass.
Two, I need you to break the glass on the fire alarm out there.
Why do you need me to do that? I just need you to, OK? For no-questions-asked, I will pay you £50.
I don't know, Sam.
I can't afford to lose this job.
All you've gotta do is break the glass, run down the stairs and I'll give you £50.
That's all.
Plus, there's no way you could get all those toilets cleaned if there's a fire in the building, could you? OK.
But for no questions, I think I need £100.
Not a drill, guys.
Come on, everybody out.
Musical chairs.
Check the toilet again.
Who was that? Just Sam.
Oh, how's she getting on now? Yeah, she's OK.
You know what? I reckon you two should do something together.
And I don't mean cleaning.
You're both too smart to be wiping shitty toilets.
Yeah, but, you know, that's just a temporary thing.
Look, this is what I want.
I've got it all worked out.
I just need to get a bit more money so I can get a van and then we'll be sorted.
It's a good idea, love, but I don't know if I can face starting all over again.
But it wouldn't be.
Look, I know, it's scary.
But I'll make it work.
Turn that down, shall we? I was listening to that.
I know, but it's a bit loud, isn't it? So, girls.
I was wondering what you might like to eat for supper this evening.
I was thinking linguine with pesto and spinach? What's linguine? It's a pasta.
It's like spaghetti but flat, not round.
Oh, is it like Spaghetti Hoops? No.
No, not quite.
Alice? Yeah, don't worry about me.
Where are you going? I'm heading out.
Can I come? No.
You're not staying for supper? Your dad didn't mention anything.
Yeah, I spoke to him earlier.
He's cool.
I'll just grab something later.
Tell him I'll be back around ten.
Looks like it's just you and me, then.
What are you drawing? Can I have a look? I copied this from a magazine at school.
All right.
Yeah, your dad told me you liked drawing but I had no idea you were this good.
You know I love art too? No.
Yeah.
I love to paint when I can.
I find it relaxes me.
I'm not as good as you, though.
These are extraordinary.
Look at him.
Punching a bag.
That's no big thing.
You think you could do better? Course I can.
My mum could punch harder than that.
It's not all about how hard you punch.
It's about rhythm, technique, movement.
In that case, I've got 11 years of dance school behind me.
I could out-move you all day long.
Sorry, does it look like we're doing ballet in here? I don't know what it looks like but it doesn't look like much.
So you're a big talker, yeah? All right, cool.
Put your money where your mouth is, then.
OK.
Ugh, they're all sweaty and horrible.
All right, start off slowly, yeah? The bag's quite heavy, you don't wanna hurt your wrist.
OK.
Like that? Yeah.
Whoa, OK, OK, easy, tiger.
We're not We're not trying to knock anyone's head off here.
You might not be.
Working a little late today, aren't we, Sam? You're usually on the school run by now.
The girls are with their dad today.
Not that it's any of your business.
I'm starting to take it personally, you not returning my texts, but do you know what really puzzles me? Why someone who's desperately short on money still wears their wedding ring and their engagement ring, despite claiming that they recently got divorced.
I don't know what sort of sentimental value you place on jewellery from your divorced husband but if you're struggling to pay the £17,000, something like that'd certainly help.
I don't believe you're waiting on a court settlement.
I really don't want the bailiffs getting involved in all this.
It'd be very traumatic for the children - your children.
I need something today, Sam.
Might as well be those rings, eh.
I can't give you my rings.
Don't be an idiot.
I'll have the bailiffs round your house in 20 minutes.
You'll end up losing them anyway.
What are you doing? You said you needed something today.
Here you go.
What, your car? I don't know how much you'll get for it.
There's about 80,000 on the clock but the MOT's not due till next March.
If you don't mind, I need to go.
I need to get to work.
You all right, Jess? You're back early.
Wanna watch TV? No, I'm all right.
I'm a bit tired.
I'm just gonna go to bed.
All right, suit yourself.
Hey, Jess.
You OK? Yep.
Look, I'm so sorry about everything.
I hate this, please.
Maybe we can go for a drink after work and go through those reports together, eh? No, thanks.
I gotta get back.
Hey, what's up? I've come for my money.
£100, like you said.
Yeah, I don't have it on me right now.
I'm gonna get it, obviously, but I don't have it just now.
How long must I wait? Because I really need it.
Soon.
I'm just waiting on something.
You're suspended, pending an investigation.
Excuse me? What is it I'm supposed to have done? We found some anomalies on your original hard drive.
Another greedy pig banker.
Stealing from everybody while we wipe their tables and clean their toilets.
This is ridiculous.
I spit on them.
You're making a big mistake.
OK.
Skytech Instruments deal with aeroplanes.
Jenkins Blue are finance.
Redstein Group.
It's a 3D printing company.
Glynn? Glynn! Oh, Sam.
Didn't know you were there.
Is everything OK? Erm, is my music too loud? No, no, everything's fine.
I just wondered, are you busy right now? No.
Unfortunately not.
I got this from a scrapyard yesterday afternoon.
The guy said it was completely dead.
I just checked it over.
It just needs a new fuse, the cylinder's come loose and the waste pipe's blocked.
It's gonna take me ten minutes to fix.
Oh, right.
You're disappointed because that's too quick? Well, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a washing machine.
That was my weekend project.
Right, I see.
Sorry, I was just gonna ask instead of paying me weekly, is it possible you could pay me one lump sum every month? Whatever's easiest.
How come? Just so I can organise my finances.
So, could you start this morning, with this month's rent? £600, that'd be great.
Erm, yeah.
I'll see what I can do.
Thank you, Glynn.
Erm, I was just wondering, what's happening with your friend Jess and her boyfriend? I haven't seen her in a while and I just erm I just was wondering, did she? You know, was he? Er, I don't know.
No, I don't know.
She's not told me yet.
Oh, OK.
Thanks.
Cheers, Glynn.
Alice, what's wrong? 'Mum, you need to come and get me.
' Where's the car? What's happened? Nothing.
Who's done this? Some 17-year-old thug she's been seeing, that's who.
Jake did this? It was an accident, OK? You know about this? I met him at his boxing gym.
I was messing around.
Boxing and sex with 15-year-olds.
Do you know that's against the law? Statutory rape, that's called.
Jesus, I haven't had sex with him! Good.
Cos if you had, I'd be ringing the police right now.
I think we're getting carried away, don't you? Alice said it was an accident.
Let me see this properly.
Have you given her ice to take the swelling down? No.
He's more bothered with being ridiculous and telling me off.
That's not true.
I think it's best the girls come home with me.
Tell Lily to get her things.
Mum, where is the car? Oh, the head gasket's gone.
It's a total write-off so we're on the DLR, I'm afraid.
Give me your bags, darling.
I hope you've learnt your lesson and it's the last time you'll be in a boxing gym.
Why is that, then? Well, look at your face, there's your answer.
People punching each other, it should've been banned years ago.
Stick with your dancing.
That requires grace and elegance.
Control and discipline.
That is an artform.
I think boxing's an art form.
Oh, really? Yeah, I do.
I think I wanna give it another go.
I like it.
That's good.
Gone out the lines a little bit there.
It's OK, I can fix it.
I know.
'The next train on platform two is for Lewisham.
' 'I didn't realise it was that bad.
'I really caught you there, sorry.
' No, it was my fault.
It looks worse than it is.
It doesn't hurt.
'So, you still wanna swing by again on Monday? Give it another go?' Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, if you don't mind me tagging along.
'No, no.
Just remember to keep your hands up this time.
'We don't want the same on the other eye.
' Yeah, I will, yeah.
Er So I'll see you Monday, yeah? 'Yeah.
Catch you later.
' Oh, shit.
There's two companies.
