Girlfriends (2018) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
Morning, love, I just wondered, and you can say no but Could you look after Ben for me? Of course! Come in.
Just for a couple of hours.
I was gonna take him to nursery.
But, he started scratching his head and I know they'd send him home.
I've been through his hair and I can't find any nits- Ruby's here to help so - Hi, Ben.
- Hello, love.
I thought you were going back to your ship this morning.
Er, we don't travel 'til tonight and it's Hull, so as long as we're back on the ship by 9.
30.
Will you tell Tom I said ta-ra? Yeah, if I get to see him.
I don't know if he's back in for the duration or Don't they tell you? No, you've just got to wait and see what they decide.
It's not fair.
They lock 'em up and .
.
they don't realise what they're doing to a family.
I'm sorry I brought it up.
No, I'm sorry he didn't tell you.
He should've done.
Well, at least I know he didn't just dump me now.
I'm gonna take this up to Sue.
Come and say happy birthday.
I could do with some moral support.
Morning, birthday girl.
Happy birthday, Sue! I didn't want this day to come! I've made you some tea and toast.
I don't do carbs! Oh, my God! You're so bright! What have you got on? It's my hi-vis.
I was just on my way to work.
You've got some little bits of Sellotape stuck to your face.
It's just my frownies.
Linda, how on earth did this happen? Well, you had a row with John No! I mean getting to this age! I was 21 yesterday and then I blinked and Oh, I can't believe Look what Andrew got me.
An afternoon at the spa.
Ooh! With two friends and cocktails after.
Cocktails! I'll come, after I've seen my Mam.
Who says I'm taking you? 'Course I am! Who else would I take? You're my best friends.
I'm lucky to have you.
And I'm lucky to have you two.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
Ohh, thank you! Oh, I was going to clear the flat this afternoon.
You can do it this morning.
John's texted me! I'll get it.
Can you believe it? "Happy birthday darling.
" He's put "darling" like nothing has happened! What a knob.
Mum! Somebody wants to see ya! It's like Piccadilly Circus! I'd better go, too.
I'm getting up because I need .
.
a nicotine patch.
I swore I'd give up smoking if I ever got to this age.
Who is it? DI Chris Donoghue, Ma'am, and this is DS Thurston.
Have you found Micky's body? I'll get Ryan.
In conjunction with the Spanish police we're investigating the death of your husband off the Aztec.
I told the Spanish police everything that happened.
Yeah, no, they emailed your statement over, but further information has come to light about what happened.
Oh, God! Has that woman been mouthing off again? What's going on, Mam? Oh God It's nothing, love, just some crazy woman that's making stuff up.
I didn't want to tell you- It seems she has an itemised mobile phone bill verifying she was in fact on the phone to your husband at approximately the time of his death.
We don't know the time of death.
And it's a pack of lies! Who is she? I mean, why would he ring her? He'd just gone down to get his glasses and he must've gone out onto the balcony to have a cigarette.
Everything's in my statement.
Do you have your husband's mobile phone? We couldn't find it, so we assumed he had it when he went overboard.
Did he just have the one or? Why'd he have more? That's crackers.
Any laptops, computers, tablets? We have a computer, in the shed.
Would you mind if we had a look? What's all this about? These are my friends, Sue and Gail.
Would it be all right if we have a quick look around the house? Do you want me to ring Andrew? We can get a warrant.
No, it's all right.
I've got nothing to hide.
The bedrooms are a bit of a mess though.
Is the shed locked? Key's on the top.
I'll get it.
Who is this woman?! I've no idea.
All I know is, her name's Carole Hardcastle, and she's trying to make trouble.
Hello? John? What are you doing, Mum? Going through your dad's stuff to see if I can find anything.
Don't! You said she's a crazy woman! Just put her out ya mind.
But the police believed her, or they wouldn't have come round here looking for stuff.
What did they want his computer for anyway? To check his emails, see who his phone provider is, that sort of stuff.
This was his favourite.
He wanted to take it on the cruise, but I said it'd be too hot.
I might keep it.
Do you think your dad could've been carrying on behind my back, having some kind of affair? No, I don't! I thought he loved me.
I thought we were all right.
He did! You were! It's all a load of rubbish, Mam! I don't know who this woman is, but she's got it all wrong.
The police don't seem to think so.
It's only me! I'm up here! Oh I wasn't sure if you'd be here.
What are you doing? You more or less asked me to leave the flat so If I remember rightly, you asked me to leave, and I reminded you the lease was in my name, anyway I didn't come here to argue with you.
I came here to say 'Happy Birthday'.
Thank you and thanks for your lovely text.
I wasn't expecting anything from you.
Come on, Sue, when have I ever forgotten your birthday and I wasn't gonna forget this one.
Well, let's not mention any numbers.
I wasn't going to.
You still look the same as the day I met you by the photocopier.
Sure.
It's just that I don't think like our 26-year-old readers any more.
Look, I didn't mean to say it that way.
Yeah, but you did, and I was very hurt by that.
We built that magazine up together.
I know.
Anyway, I thought you'd be at work.
No, I've taken the day off.
I thought maybe we could grab a bite to eat if you want? Yeah, why not? Hello! Anybody home? Sally! Sorry I'm a bit earlier than I said.
Oh.
Hello.
Er, Sally, this is Sue.
Pleased to meet you.
Hi.
Is this a good time or? Yes, fine.
Five minutes and I'm out of here.
It's all yours.
I CAN explain.
You know what? Save your breath.
Sorry about that.
It's best if you ring me on my mobile in future.
Do you need a hand with that? No.
Don't you come anywhere near me.
She's a letting agent! Oh, yippety-do-dah! Don't be so juvenile! I suppose I should be grateful you're not shagging her.
She said she'd pop by in the week.
I wasn't expecting her today.
I bet you were thinking, "How can I get her out of here before she arrives?" "I know I'll take her to lunch.
" Why do you always think the worst of me? History has taught me to, and if it doesn't happen it's a bloody bonus.
If you feel like that, why've you stayed all these years? Because I love you! No more than that, I bloody idolise the ground you walk on! Like a fool I believed it when you said we'd be together in the end, if I could just be a bit patient.
But the real truth is you never intended to leave Beth.
Yes, I did.
That's not true, and you can admit it now! I'm not gonna go running to your wife! If I was gonna do that, I'd have done it years ago, after Andrew was born.
If you have any feelings for me at all, if you even care about me, you'll tell me the truth.
It would help me move on.
She needs me, Sue.
She's not like you.
She's not strong and independent.
Ruby's looking after Ben cos I'm going to the spa with Linda and Sue.
Scarborough Spa? We're going for cocktails and big surprise party for her.
What's up with his father looking after him? Tom's gone for a job interview in Birmingham.
Why haven't you got dressed? Cos I'll only have to get undressed later on.
It's a waste of time.
I thought they were supposed to send a cleaner in once a week.
I used to like Scarborough.
Dave bought me that plant.
He came to see me last night.
Did he? Are you sure, Mam? You're not just saying that? No! Of course not.
I like Dave.
Yeah, so did I.
I don't know why you couldn't sort things out with him.
I tried my best, but it was his decision to move out in the end.
You'll not get anybody else now.
Not at your age.
Thanks for that, Mam I wish I was coming with you to Scarborough.
Oh hiya.
It's me, Gail.
I'm was just ringing to thank you for visiting my mam and buying that plant.
No problem.
It was nice to see her.
Me and your mam always got on.
It's Sue's birthday today and her son's doing her this surprise party at Angelica's and I was just wondering, and you can say no if you like, but I was just wondering if you'd like to come? We're aiming at half six.
I know it's short notice.
It was just a thought.
No, no, it's fine, honestly.
I did have something on, but I can easily move it.
Don't be late cos it's a surprise.
- I'll see you later? - I'll be there.
Ta-ra.
Ta-ra.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing here? It's Carole with an E.
I found her on Linkedin.
Let's go.
Oh, OK.
I got to take my hi-vis off otherwise I'll be seen.
I don't know what we're gonna say to her.
I'll think of something.
I'm "strong and independent.
" What does that mean? I used to think it was a good thing, but, according to John, it's not wife material.
Do you know, there was a moment this morning where I thought, "Yeah, he really does care about me.
Hang on in there.
" And then she turned up and I, I just I just knew that he couldn't wait to get rid of me.
Come on.
Come on.
Shit! It's the police.
Pretend you're looking for something.
I think that's her they're talking to now.
Let's just go.
No, they're leaving.
What do you think they're doing here? Erm, hi, excuse me.
I've got some things I'm interested in selling.
Lovely.
If you show me them, I'll you what we can take.
Do you know, you look ever so familiar.
Did you ever go to Hall Lane Youth Club? You'll have seen her at Micky's memorial service.
Oh, that's it! I knew I'd seen you before.
Yeah, I think we can take all these.
Veronica Yeah? Could you label these up for me? No problem.
So how did you know Micky? We go back a long way, not that it's any of your business.
It is our business actually, because Linda is our friend and she's very upset.
She had the police this morning searching her home.
So I gather.
What do you want? We know you rocked up at her house after the service.
That's not a nice thing to do to a woman grieving for her husband.
It's me that's grieving! Your friend killed the man I loved! Rubbish! I don't think so! Think what you want, but we'd been having an affair for years.
I met him at The Grove.
His band used to play there every Friday night and Sometimes I'd sing with them.
He was on his mobile to me .
.
telling me he was going to leave her as soon as they got back from the cruise.
Then he called out her name, you know, like he'd just seen her, and then, then the phone went dead.
I don't believe you.
Please yourself! I've told the police all this.
Linda would never do that.
Why would you say that? I heard it, and I've got proof.
Yeah, I've got the whole thing recorded.
The police have heard it.
You're lying.
OK! Ask her why she took out extra life insurance on Micky.
Yeah! I don't think you know your 'friend' at all.
I mean, it did sound like she'd been having an affair with him.
I've been the 'other woman' and everything she said made perfect sense to me.
The promises he was gonna leave his wife after this and after that, and of course he had no intention of ever leaving her.
Do you think Linda knew? I don't know.
Maybe.
And what about her pushing him overboard? She'd have never done that.
Definitely not.
She wouldn't have the strength.
But Micky was thin.
Yeah, and he drank a lot and smoked.
And Linda does Pilates.
We need to find out about the insurance.
Oh, God! She's there.
Just smile and look as though nothing's wrong, OK? Oh, look at you two, beaming, like a pair of Cheshire cats.
Where've you been? Nowhere! Just to the flat.
I'm SO glad you decided to come.
It's no point moping around the house.
That's not gonna solve anything.
They've taken my passport now.
Really? What for? God knows.
So I can't leave the country.
This smells like cat piss.
It's a cleanse and detox.
Hm I wonder if they do a G&T.
It's a health spa! Juniper berries are part of my five a day! Oh look! I've got an 'anti-aging' AND an 'oxygenating and lifting' facial.
I can't have both.
I know you're on a bit of a budget at the moment, Linda.
Yeah, just till the insurance pays out.
Our Ryan's asked the bank if I can have a couple of months without paying.
Well, it's a good job you took out that extra life insurance or you'd be REALLY be struggling.
As soon as you're finished, they're ready for your waxing and facials.
So, I thought I'd ring him.
If I've only got a few weeks before our decree absolute comes through, I need to get a move on.
Have you had your bikini line waxed? No.
Doesn't hurt, does it? I meant to say, Linda, if you'd like me to ask Andrew to look at your insurance policy, there may be a clause or something that says they have to pay out no matter what.
Just bend your leg for me.
I'd just need to give him all the details.
Linda? Linda? What the hell was that? Well, I think Andrew's found someone at last Natalie.
And now he's been made a partner at his firm, I think he'll be ready to settle down and then who knows? They might have a baby and then I'll be a Be a Grannie.
Nanna.
Yeah.
All right.
Then, if Natalie wanted to go back to work after the baby's born, I could look after it.
It's not easy at our age, you know.
When I had Andrew, I was on my own.
I took six weeks off and went straight back to work because John said he couldn't cope with the extra workload.
I took him to the child minder three days a week and my parents had him for the other two.
When I look back I've missed out on such a lot.
I tell you what, girls.
I think we still scrub up well! I hope there's somewhere for us to sit.
These shoes are bloody killing me! We have to suffer for our vanity.
Hm.
Tell me about it! Remind me never to have my bikini line waxed again.
She must've ripped half my skin off! It stung like hell.
Well, I've never had a facial before.
It was lovely having that girl stroking my face.
I just forgot about everything and fell asleep.
You must've been tired.
I've not slept properly since Micky drowned.
I've been waking up at four every morning and I can't get back off.
I just keep going through everything in my mind, over and over again.
Maybe if I'd done this or that, it wouldn't have happened.
What wouldn't have happened? Micky falling overboard.
I should've gone back for his glasses and then We're your friends, Linda.
You can tell us anything.
Anything at all.
I don't want to put a dampener on things.
It's all right.
It's your birthday and we've had a lovely afternoon.
And now we're gonna have a lovely evening, so let's not talk about it.
Oh! Well, it seems we're a bit early.
They haven't even started serving yet.
Surprise! Happy Birthday! Oh, my goodness! Oh, you naughty people! No, what did I say?! You're so naughty! Right I want a double G&T right now! Happy birthday, Mum! Thank you, darling.
I hope you don't expect me to blow out the candles on that! It's more like a torchlight parade than a birthday cake! I'd need an oxygen tank.
Well, now you've quit smoking Yeah, about that, well I mean I-I've had a not very successful day for a number of reasons Mum! Please don't be angry.
I'll get back on it first thing tomorrow morning.
Thanks to you, I have had the most fabulous time with my girlfriends today.
Who no doubt were in on all of this! Champagne or a cocktail? Oh, I think we're gonna have cocktails.
Hi, Mum! So nice to see you.
Ah, look at you! Frank.
You don't look a day over 40, my dear.
I think that's the cataracts.
You've got your mother's genes.
The pair of you could be sisters.
Definitely the cataracts! Yeah! Ah! Mwah! Hello, my little treasure pie.
He's been good for you? He's been brilliant.
I've really enjoyed it.
Dave wasn't here earlier, was he? I haven't seen him.
I invited him and he said he'd come, but he must've changed his mind.
Never mind.
Drink? Cheers.
Mm.
Mm.
Just so you know, I cleared the flat and I'm not going back.
Brilliant.
I'm gonna stay with Linda until I find somewhere else and I've told John where to stick his 'consultancy'.
Fantastic.
And no going back this time? Definitely not.
I've given enough years of my life to that man.
Absolutely.
That's great news.
Now hopefully, we'll all get to see a bit more of you? Yeah, that's the plan.
Family and friends come first from now on.
That's what I like to see, you, strong and determined.
I'm not strong, Andrew.
Yes, you are.
No.
You raised me single-handed and you held down a demanding full-time job.
What's the matter? Nothing, nothing.
I just Oh! I'm just really touched that you organised this party for me.
Come here.
Things are gonna be different from now on.
There's some people I want to introduce you to properly.
Oh, who is it? I've met Natalie.
Hi again.
Hi.
Happy birthday, Sue.
Thanks.
I can't believe I've got to this age! Make sure you enjoy your youth! And you haven't met Kerry.
Oh, hi, Kerry.
Pleased to meet you.
Hi.
Happy birthday.
And who's this gorgeous little girl? What's your name? Belle.
Belle, beautiful name, for a beautiful little girl.
And this is her brother Sam.
Oh, hi, Sam.
Thank you for coming to my party.
There's just There's one other person I'd like you to meet.
This is Rob my partner.
Hi, happy birthday.
Oh, that's nice, so you work at Fairburn and Lupton- No, Mum, not my business partner.
We live together.
We have done for two and a half years.
But I thought you and Natalie? Natalie and Kerry .
.
are mothers to my children Belle and Sam.
Sorry, I'm sorry Did you say your children? That's right.
Belle and Sam are your grandchildren, Mum.
What did you think was gonna happen, Andrew?! I thought you'd be pleased, ecstatic, you'd got two grandkids.
I am ecstatic! It's absolutely wonderful I've got two grandchildren.
But, I'm also hurt and upset, that I've missed HUGE chunks of their life because you chose not to tell me they exist! I know that feeling very well.
What on earth are you talking about? Many, many times I felt like I didn't exist, and as far as John was concerned.
I didn't! What has John got to do with it? He's got EVERYTHING to do with it! Because your life, my life, was all about him.
Where he went, what he did, When he wanted to see you.
You'd drop everything to be with him.
That's not true.
I'd be dumped with Gran or- You're being ridiculous! Have you forgotten that time we met him and his family in town, his wife and his two macho rugby sons? I don't think you'd have even introduced me if she hadn't asked who I was.
Then my 'father' holds out his hand like I'm some fucking stranger.
"Pleased to meet you, Andrew.
" What did you expect him to say with his wife and two sons standing there? I was standing there.
Yes, I know that! No, I don't think you do! I don't think you considered me for one second.
It was always you and him and I was somewhere way down the list.
I was 15 years old.
I thought the man was some kind of god! I believed all that crap you kept telling me about how he was gonna leave his wife after Jason went to university and we were gonna be a proper family.
I believed it! Then it dawned on me that was never gonna happen.
It was so sad seeing how he was just stringing you along.
And then I just got angry.
But that's him, not me.
I had to distance myself from you while you were with him, or I'd have gone insane.
But don't you understand? You've denied my grandchildren to me, just like John denied you to his family.
Well now you know what it feels like.
Come on.
We're going.
Come on.
There you are, love.
I must be a terrible person.
No, you're not! Don't be silly.
I'm not fit to be a mother.
Stop it! I knew Andrew didn't like John, but I'd no idea how much he hated him.
If he denied him, it must've been an awful blow for a lad that age.
Why didn't he tell me how he felt before? Tom never stopped going on about how he hated Dave.
But John's his biological father! Doesn't make any difference.
If he doesn't like him, he doesn't like him.
I've missed all those years of my grandchildren's lives.
That beautiful little girl, Belle, is my own flesh and blood.
I never got to hold her in my arms when she was a little baby.
Never mind, you can hold her now.
No, he doesn't want me to see them.
He didn't say that! He didn't.
It's John he has a problem with, not you.
He blames me, he blames me for not saying anything to him, I suppose for not finishing it.
But it's over now.
Maybe that's why he decided he could tell you, and introduce you to his family.
You can tell he loves you.
That's why he hates John so much.
He can't stand seeing him making a fool of you.
He did make a fool of me.
But I'm not gonna let that happen any more.
Andrew was right.
Why couldn't I see that? Cos I don't think you wanted to.
Oh, here's your mam.
I tried to stop them leaving, but he's very wound up and angry.
Did you know, Mother? Well, Natalie was his friend from work and I thought the same as you.
I don't mean about Andrew being gay, I mean about the children.
Did you know I had grandchildren? I wanted to tell you.
You knew! He wouldn't let me.
He said he wanted to tell you himself.
I had to respect that.
And he did try.
When? I don't remember.
Well, he has, believe me.
Even I have tried to hint a few times to you, but, well, it always seemed to go right over your head.
I want to know my grandchildren.
I want to know who they are.
I want to hold them in my arms.
I want to have been there when they were born, that's what I want.
Come on, love.
Don't get upset.
I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
Happy! Happy.
You've got two grandchildren.
Did you see Sam? He's identical to Andrew when he was a baby.
- I should've known straight away.
- I'll get her stuff.
It's a different sort of a family to what we know, darling but They all seem so happy, and that's the main thing.
- I want to be part of that family! - And you will be.
Do you think? You've just got to tell him how you feel.
That you love him, and that you're done with John.
Tell him you want to get know his family.
Your family.
We've got to go.
Taxi's waiting.
Thanks, love.
Bye, love.
I wish we didn't have to leave you.
Me neither.
We'll ring or text as soon as we get there.
You won't forget, will you? We could Facetime you when we get into port.
I don't know how to do that kind of stuff! I'll show you.
It's dead easy.
Look after her, won't you? I will.
Bye, Ben.
See you soon.
Bye.
I'm gonna fix my face, and I'm gonna go and see my son, and say I'm sorry.
Do you have the address, Mum? Yes.
We could drop you off, but we can't come in cos Frank likes to snuggle up in bed with me by nine.
Oh, that's gross.
I can understand Sue being upset.
How many times has she said she wanted a grandchild? She's got two now.
Hiya.
Where have you been? I've been trying to ring you.
Well, you're a bit late.
I'm sorry, but something important came up.
It's all right- Your mum's been walkabout.
My mam? Yeah.
Yeah.
They've been trying to get in touch, but your phone's been turned off.
I forgot to turn it back on after the spa! Oh.
Where is she? Where did she go? Scarborough on a bus, but she's all right.
I went and picked her up.
I told her I was going to the spa.
She must've got hold of the wrong end of the stick.
Listen, do you want to stay on for a bit cos? But I promised I'd go home with you.
I know, but I've got to face going into the house sometime on my own.
Well, party's finished, but I suppose we could No, it's fine.
You go with Linda and we'll do it another time.
Yeah.
Right.
OK.
I'll see ya.
Ta-ra.
Oh, will you ring me? Yeah.
Definitely! You look nice by the way.
Thank you and, and thanks for sorting my mam out.
That were really nice of you.
Ah, it's no problem.
They've started quiz night again at the Old Bull if you fancy it? Yeah! Yeah, that would be great.
I'll, er, pick you up half seven then.
Bye.
- Is this it? - Beautiful, isn't it? I'm sorry to just call round- I guess you want Andrew.
Can I just say, I don't have ANY problem with you and Andrew- It's OK.
Come in.
No, it-it's not OK.
I need to say this because it's important- Who is it? Just me.
I couldn't have left it like that.
I wouldn't have been able to sleep.
I want to say sorry for not saying anything that day when we met John and his family- We're getting the children ready for bed- I should have realised how hurtful and humiliating that must have been for you.
And, for all the other times when I've let you down and put him before you.
Look, why don't we go into the living room? Midnight Come in.
Thanks.
Hello, sweetheart.
Are you in your jim-jams? Ohh.
This is so beautiful.
Well, Kerry's an interior designer, so she did most of it.
We all did it.
Most of it's things we picked up in second-hand shops.
We're slowly working through the house.
Oh, sit down.
Erm, can I get you anything? A humble pie.
A glass of wine? Erm A large G&T.
I'll get it.
That would be lovely.
Thank you.
Andrew used to sleep in a babygrow.
I don't suppose they call them that.
It only just fits! He's growing out of all his clothes.
Oh, I could buy him a new one! He's got new ones.
Or anything Erm, Belle too.
Can I use the brush please, Mummy? Yes.
Will you brush my hair, please? Yes, I will.
I'd love to brush your hair.
You don't know me, but I am your Nanny Sue.
You've got beautiful hair.
Thanks for coming home with me.
I was dreading it, the house being empty, and that Carole Hardcastle woman knows where I live.
I wonder how she knew? I had to put it in the local paper, saying he'd fallen overboard and was presumed dead.
Solicitor said we had to do it or we couldn't get a death certificate and we need one before the insurance company will pay.
Are you all right? Great.
But now this Carole woman has started saying stuff, it might hold everything up.
I don't understand what she wants? Neither do I.
None of it makes sense.
You don't think there's anything in it? Like what? Like, maybe he knew her? Like, maybe they were having an affair? No, just that She said I pushed him overboard! She's a nutcase.
Yeah.
You're right.
Do you want tea? Yeah.
Go on.
I didn't expect Dave to turn up at Angelica's.
I'd arranged for him to come to the party but I thought he'd stood me up.
Well, you've got a date now.
And a chance to say what I really feel, that I don't want to get divorced.
You should never have started with solicitors.
Well, I know that now, and it cost a bloody fortune! But, we're all wise in hindsight, Linda.
Like, you were saying earlier, you'd do stuff differently if you had your chance again.
I mean, thank God, you took out that life insurance on Micky.
It wasn't me that took it out.
It was him.
I didn't said it were you.
You made it sound like it was me.
You said "YOU took out.
" I just meant it was a good job you'd took out insurance.
Well, I might not have it, if the inquest says it was suicide.
Why would he commit suicide if he was happily married? I don't understand.
No.
I don't, either.
Maybe, he did just lose his balance and fall overboard.
Well What other explanation is there?! I don't know what you're trying to say, Gail.
Nothing.
Nothing.
I'm not trying to say anything.
It doesn't sound like it to me.
I'm just trying to be helpful.
Well, you're not! Do you want me to show you how to Facetime? I'm too tired.
Come on, give me your phone.
I'll put Ryan and Ruby's numbers in.
What's your code? Here.
Four O's.
It's the only one I can remember.
Are you gonna give Nanny Sue a kiss goodnight? Aw! Night-night.
Say, "Night-night, Nanny Sue.
" Night, Nanny Sue.
Sleep tight.
That is the sweetest, loveliest little girl I have ever seen.
She can be a right little madam sometimes.
She knows exactly when to turn on her best cutey look.
She's got us all wrapped around her little finger.
She really does.
If, if ever, you want either of them looking after, I'd be delighted.
We're pretty much covered with four of us.
Right, yeah.
I expect they'll have lots of grandparents, too.
But, I-I would love to get to know them properly .
.
and become part of their lives.
I've missed so much already.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time, shall we? Erm I'm going to take Teddy for his last walk.
If you're not here when I get back, it's been lovely to meet you.
Oh! And you.
Take care.
OK? Yeah.
Come on, Teddy.
Let's go.
Good boy.
He makes me very happy.
I can see that.
And I'm so pleased that you've found somebody.
Not like me.
I've made a complete mess of my life.
Not a complete mess.
The only good thing to come out of the relationship with John was you .
.
and now my grandchildren.
Well, we're still gonna sue the arse off him.
Yes, we are.
You'll stand up at the tribunal and in front of everybody say what he said to you about being too old for the job.
Yes.
I might not put it quite like that though.
You're going to have to say it, Mum.
I will.
I will, I promise.
I'm going to enjoy making him pay for what he's done to you.
You do care about me then? Of course I care about you.
I love you.
You're my mum.
There's no guarantee, is there? I mean, what sort of a mother must I be if .
.
my own son can't tell me I've been wanting to tell you for years.
Just the longer it went on, the harder it got.
The morning Belle was born, I came round to tell you and take you to the hospital to see her.
What happened? Why didn't you? I rang the bell and knocked on the door.
And you weren't there.
You'd gone away.
In Cornwall, do you remember? I'm a woman of a certain age.
I can't remember what I did yesterday.
You'd gone there to do a feature for the magazine.
I expect you were with him.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
So I just I thought I'd get on with my own life and my own family.
Oh! I am entirely to blame for missing out on you, and on Belle and little Sam.
Will you give me the chance to make things right? Two grandchildren would be just the best birthday present ever.
If you press that, all your numbers will come up.
Lovely.
Thanks.
Do you want a biscuit? Go on then.
I've put Ryan's, Ruby's, mine and Sue's numbers in for you so Oh.
That'll be a text.
It'll be our Ruby letting me know they've got there.
No.
I don't think it's Ruby.
Well, who is it? I think it's that Carole woman again.
What?! How can SHE have my number? I wouldn't read it if I were you.
It's harassment.
I wanna see what she's gotta say.
What? What does she mean? "Tell your" Have you been to see her behind my back? No Well, we just wanted to tell her to leave you alone, that's all.
That's why you were asking about insurance and all the questions and insinuations.
You think I pushed him overboard as well! We don't think that.
I get it now.
Some kind of friends you are! You've got it wrong, Linda.
No, I haven't! You went round there cos you wanted to check her out, and see what she's got to say for herself.
No, we went to warn her off, tell her to leave you alone and stop telling tales to the police.
I think you better leave.
Don't be like that! I'd like you to go.
NOW! Please.
Let's go, love.
We're going to go home cos Linda's not very well.
- Come on, then.
- Come on, love.
Gail! Thank you.
I think it's gonna be all right with Andrew! Obviously, we're gonna take it slow.
Hi, chicken What's the matter? That woman text Linda and told her we went round to see her and then, I brought up the insurance and she went ballistic and then Whoa, whoa, whoa! Then she threw me out and- Oh, my God! What do they want? I don't know.
Have you brought her computer back? I'm gonna tell Linda they're here.
Hello? Linda There's someone to see you, Linda.
The police are here.
You're aware we're investigating the death of your husband? Can I just say, I think it's very late- .
.
arresting you on suspicion of his murder onboard the Aztec cruise ship on the 15th of June.
You can't do that! It's ridiculous! You're not serious, are you? .
.
may be used in evidence.
Do you understand?
Just for a couple of hours.
I was gonna take him to nursery.
But, he started scratching his head and I know they'd send him home.
I've been through his hair and I can't find any nits- Ruby's here to help so - Hi, Ben.
- Hello, love.
I thought you were going back to your ship this morning.
Er, we don't travel 'til tonight and it's Hull, so as long as we're back on the ship by 9.
30.
Will you tell Tom I said ta-ra? Yeah, if I get to see him.
I don't know if he's back in for the duration or Don't they tell you? No, you've just got to wait and see what they decide.
It's not fair.
They lock 'em up and .
.
they don't realise what they're doing to a family.
I'm sorry I brought it up.
No, I'm sorry he didn't tell you.
He should've done.
Well, at least I know he didn't just dump me now.
I'm gonna take this up to Sue.
Come and say happy birthday.
I could do with some moral support.
Morning, birthday girl.
Happy birthday, Sue! I didn't want this day to come! I've made you some tea and toast.
I don't do carbs! Oh, my God! You're so bright! What have you got on? It's my hi-vis.
I was just on my way to work.
You've got some little bits of Sellotape stuck to your face.
It's just my frownies.
Linda, how on earth did this happen? Well, you had a row with John No! I mean getting to this age! I was 21 yesterday and then I blinked and Oh, I can't believe Look what Andrew got me.
An afternoon at the spa.
Ooh! With two friends and cocktails after.
Cocktails! I'll come, after I've seen my Mam.
Who says I'm taking you? 'Course I am! Who else would I take? You're my best friends.
I'm lucky to have you.
And I'm lucky to have you two.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
Ohh, thank you! Oh, I was going to clear the flat this afternoon.
You can do it this morning.
John's texted me! I'll get it.
Can you believe it? "Happy birthday darling.
" He's put "darling" like nothing has happened! What a knob.
Mum! Somebody wants to see ya! It's like Piccadilly Circus! I'd better go, too.
I'm getting up because I need .
.
a nicotine patch.
I swore I'd give up smoking if I ever got to this age.
Who is it? DI Chris Donoghue, Ma'am, and this is DS Thurston.
Have you found Micky's body? I'll get Ryan.
In conjunction with the Spanish police we're investigating the death of your husband off the Aztec.
I told the Spanish police everything that happened.
Yeah, no, they emailed your statement over, but further information has come to light about what happened.
Oh, God! Has that woman been mouthing off again? What's going on, Mam? Oh God It's nothing, love, just some crazy woman that's making stuff up.
I didn't want to tell you- It seems she has an itemised mobile phone bill verifying she was in fact on the phone to your husband at approximately the time of his death.
We don't know the time of death.
And it's a pack of lies! Who is she? I mean, why would he ring her? He'd just gone down to get his glasses and he must've gone out onto the balcony to have a cigarette.
Everything's in my statement.
Do you have your husband's mobile phone? We couldn't find it, so we assumed he had it when he went overboard.
Did he just have the one or? Why'd he have more? That's crackers.
Any laptops, computers, tablets? We have a computer, in the shed.
Would you mind if we had a look? What's all this about? These are my friends, Sue and Gail.
Would it be all right if we have a quick look around the house? Do you want me to ring Andrew? We can get a warrant.
No, it's all right.
I've got nothing to hide.
The bedrooms are a bit of a mess though.
Is the shed locked? Key's on the top.
I'll get it.
Who is this woman?! I've no idea.
All I know is, her name's Carole Hardcastle, and she's trying to make trouble.
Hello? John? What are you doing, Mum? Going through your dad's stuff to see if I can find anything.
Don't! You said she's a crazy woman! Just put her out ya mind.
But the police believed her, or they wouldn't have come round here looking for stuff.
What did they want his computer for anyway? To check his emails, see who his phone provider is, that sort of stuff.
This was his favourite.
He wanted to take it on the cruise, but I said it'd be too hot.
I might keep it.
Do you think your dad could've been carrying on behind my back, having some kind of affair? No, I don't! I thought he loved me.
I thought we were all right.
He did! You were! It's all a load of rubbish, Mam! I don't know who this woman is, but she's got it all wrong.
The police don't seem to think so.
It's only me! I'm up here! Oh I wasn't sure if you'd be here.
What are you doing? You more or less asked me to leave the flat so If I remember rightly, you asked me to leave, and I reminded you the lease was in my name, anyway I didn't come here to argue with you.
I came here to say 'Happy Birthday'.
Thank you and thanks for your lovely text.
I wasn't expecting anything from you.
Come on, Sue, when have I ever forgotten your birthday and I wasn't gonna forget this one.
Well, let's not mention any numbers.
I wasn't going to.
You still look the same as the day I met you by the photocopier.
Sure.
It's just that I don't think like our 26-year-old readers any more.
Look, I didn't mean to say it that way.
Yeah, but you did, and I was very hurt by that.
We built that magazine up together.
I know.
Anyway, I thought you'd be at work.
No, I've taken the day off.
I thought maybe we could grab a bite to eat if you want? Yeah, why not? Hello! Anybody home? Sally! Sorry I'm a bit earlier than I said.
Oh.
Hello.
Er, Sally, this is Sue.
Pleased to meet you.
Hi.
Is this a good time or? Yes, fine.
Five minutes and I'm out of here.
It's all yours.
I CAN explain.
You know what? Save your breath.
Sorry about that.
It's best if you ring me on my mobile in future.
Do you need a hand with that? No.
Don't you come anywhere near me.
She's a letting agent! Oh, yippety-do-dah! Don't be so juvenile! I suppose I should be grateful you're not shagging her.
She said she'd pop by in the week.
I wasn't expecting her today.
I bet you were thinking, "How can I get her out of here before she arrives?" "I know I'll take her to lunch.
" Why do you always think the worst of me? History has taught me to, and if it doesn't happen it's a bloody bonus.
If you feel like that, why've you stayed all these years? Because I love you! No more than that, I bloody idolise the ground you walk on! Like a fool I believed it when you said we'd be together in the end, if I could just be a bit patient.
But the real truth is you never intended to leave Beth.
Yes, I did.
That's not true, and you can admit it now! I'm not gonna go running to your wife! If I was gonna do that, I'd have done it years ago, after Andrew was born.
If you have any feelings for me at all, if you even care about me, you'll tell me the truth.
It would help me move on.
She needs me, Sue.
She's not like you.
She's not strong and independent.
Ruby's looking after Ben cos I'm going to the spa with Linda and Sue.
Scarborough Spa? We're going for cocktails and big surprise party for her.
What's up with his father looking after him? Tom's gone for a job interview in Birmingham.
Why haven't you got dressed? Cos I'll only have to get undressed later on.
It's a waste of time.
I thought they were supposed to send a cleaner in once a week.
I used to like Scarborough.
Dave bought me that plant.
He came to see me last night.
Did he? Are you sure, Mam? You're not just saying that? No! Of course not.
I like Dave.
Yeah, so did I.
I don't know why you couldn't sort things out with him.
I tried my best, but it was his decision to move out in the end.
You'll not get anybody else now.
Not at your age.
Thanks for that, Mam I wish I was coming with you to Scarborough.
Oh hiya.
It's me, Gail.
I'm was just ringing to thank you for visiting my mam and buying that plant.
No problem.
It was nice to see her.
Me and your mam always got on.
It's Sue's birthday today and her son's doing her this surprise party at Angelica's and I was just wondering, and you can say no if you like, but I was just wondering if you'd like to come? We're aiming at half six.
I know it's short notice.
It was just a thought.
No, no, it's fine, honestly.
I did have something on, but I can easily move it.
Don't be late cos it's a surprise.
- I'll see you later? - I'll be there.
Ta-ra.
Ta-ra.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing here? It's Carole with an E.
I found her on Linkedin.
Let's go.
Oh, OK.
I got to take my hi-vis off otherwise I'll be seen.
I don't know what we're gonna say to her.
I'll think of something.
I'm "strong and independent.
" What does that mean? I used to think it was a good thing, but, according to John, it's not wife material.
Do you know, there was a moment this morning where I thought, "Yeah, he really does care about me.
Hang on in there.
" And then she turned up and I, I just I just knew that he couldn't wait to get rid of me.
Come on.
Come on.
Shit! It's the police.
Pretend you're looking for something.
I think that's her they're talking to now.
Let's just go.
No, they're leaving.
What do you think they're doing here? Erm, hi, excuse me.
I've got some things I'm interested in selling.
Lovely.
If you show me them, I'll you what we can take.
Do you know, you look ever so familiar.
Did you ever go to Hall Lane Youth Club? You'll have seen her at Micky's memorial service.
Oh, that's it! I knew I'd seen you before.
Yeah, I think we can take all these.
Veronica Yeah? Could you label these up for me? No problem.
So how did you know Micky? We go back a long way, not that it's any of your business.
It is our business actually, because Linda is our friend and she's very upset.
She had the police this morning searching her home.
So I gather.
What do you want? We know you rocked up at her house after the service.
That's not a nice thing to do to a woman grieving for her husband.
It's me that's grieving! Your friend killed the man I loved! Rubbish! I don't think so! Think what you want, but we'd been having an affair for years.
I met him at The Grove.
His band used to play there every Friday night and Sometimes I'd sing with them.
He was on his mobile to me .
.
telling me he was going to leave her as soon as they got back from the cruise.
Then he called out her name, you know, like he'd just seen her, and then, then the phone went dead.
I don't believe you.
Please yourself! I've told the police all this.
Linda would never do that.
Why would you say that? I heard it, and I've got proof.
Yeah, I've got the whole thing recorded.
The police have heard it.
You're lying.
OK! Ask her why she took out extra life insurance on Micky.
Yeah! I don't think you know your 'friend' at all.
I mean, it did sound like she'd been having an affair with him.
I've been the 'other woman' and everything she said made perfect sense to me.
The promises he was gonna leave his wife after this and after that, and of course he had no intention of ever leaving her.
Do you think Linda knew? I don't know.
Maybe.
And what about her pushing him overboard? She'd have never done that.
Definitely not.
She wouldn't have the strength.
But Micky was thin.
Yeah, and he drank a lot and smoked.
And Linda does Pilates.
We need to find out about the insurance.
Oh, God! She's there.
Just smile and look as though nothing's wrong, OK? Oh, look at you two, beaming, like a pair of Cheshire cats.
Where've you been? Nowhere! Just to the flat.
I'm SO glad you decided to come.
It's no point moping around the house.
That's not gonna solve anything.
They've taken my passport now.
Really? What for? God knows.
So I can't leave the country.
This smells like cat piss.
It's a cleanse and detox.
Hm I wonder if they do a G&T.
It's a health spa! Juniper berries are part of my five a day! Oh look! I've got an 'anti-aging' AND an 'oxygenating and lifting' facial.
I can't have both.
I know you're on a bit of a budget at the moment, Linda.
Yeah, just till the insurance pays out.
Our Ryan's asked the bank if I can have a couple of months without paying.
Well, it's a good job you took out that extra life insurance or you'd be REALLY be struggling.
As soon as you're finished, they're ready for your waxing and facials.
So, I thought I'd ring him.
If I've only got a few weeks before our decree absolute comes through, I need to get a move on.
Have you had your bikini line waxed? No.
Doesn't hurt, does it? I meant to say, Linda, if you'd like me to ask Andrew to look at your insurance policy, there may be a clause or something that says they have to pay out no matter what.
Just bend your leg for me.
I'd just need to give him all the details.
Linda? Linda? What the hell was that? Well, I think Andrew's found someone at last Natalie.
And now he's been made a partner at his firm, I think he'll be ready to settle down and then who knows? They might have a baby and then I'll be a Be a Grannie.
Nanna.
Yeah.
All right.
Then, if Natalie wanted to go back to work after the baby's born, I could look after it.
It's not easy at our age, you know.
When I had Andrew, I was on my own.
I took six weeks off and went straight back to work because John said he couldn't cope with the extra workload.
I took him to the child minder three days a week and my parents had him for the other two.
When I look back I've missed out on such a lot.
I tell you what, girls.
I think we still scrub up well! I hope there's somewhere for us to sit.
These shoes are bloody killing me! We have to suffer for our vanity.
Hm.
Tell me about it! Remind me never to have my bikini line waxed again.
She must've ripped half my skin off! It stung like hell.
Well, I've never had a facial before.
It was lovely having that girl stroking my face.
I just forgot about everything and fell asleep.
You must've been tired.
I've not slept properly since Micky drowned.
I've been waking up at four every morning and I can't get back off.
I just keep going through everything in my mind, over and over again.
Maybe if I'd done this or that, it wouldn't have happened.
What wouldn't have happened? Micky falling overboard.
I should've gone back for his glasses and then We're your friends, Linda.
You can tell us anything.
Anything at all.
I don't want to put a dampener on things.
It's all right.
It's your birthday and we've had a lovely afternoon.
And now we're gonna have a lovely evening, so let's not talk about it.
Oh! Well, it seems we're a bit early.
They haven't even started serving yet.
Surprise! Happy Birthday! Oh, my goodness! Oh, you naughty people! No, what did I say?! You're so naughty! Right I want a double G&T right now! Happy birthday, Mum! Thank you, darling.
I hope you don't expect me to blow out the candles on that! It's more like a torchlight parade than a birthday cake! I'd need an oxygen tank.
Well, now you've quit smoking Yeah, about that, well I mean I-I've had a not very successful day for a number of reasons Mum! Please don't be angry.
I'll get back on it first thing tomorrow morning.
Thanks to you, I have had the most fabulous time with my girlfriends today.
Who no doubt were in on all of this! Champagne or a cocktail? Oh, I think we're gonna have cocktails.
Hi, Mum! So nice to see you.
Ah, look at you! Frank.
You don't look a day over 40, my dear.
I think that's the cataracts.
You've got your mother's genes.
The pair of you could be sisters.
Definitely the cataracts! Yeah! Ah! Mwah! Hello, my little treasure pie.
He's been good for you? He's been brilliant.
I've really enjoyed it.
Dave wasn't here earlier, was he? I haven't seen him.
I invited him and he said he'd come, but he must've changed his mind.
Never mind.
Drink? Cheers.
Mm.
Mm.
Just so you know, I cleared the flat and I'm not going back.
Brilliant.
I'm gonna stay with Linda until I find somewhere else and I've told John where to stick his 'consultancy'.
Fantastic.
And no going back this time? Definitely not.
I've given enough years of my life to that man.
Absolutely.
That's great news.
Now hopefully, we'll all get to see a bit more of you? Yeah, that's the plan.
Family and friends come first from now on.
That's what I like to see, you, strong and determined.
I'm not strong, Andrew.
Yes, you are.
No.
You raised me single-handed and you held down a demanding full-time job.
What's the matter? Nothing, nothing.
I just Oh! I'm just really touched that you organised this party for me.
Come here.
Things are gonna be different from now on.
There's some people I want to introduce you to properly.
Oh, who is it? I've met Natalie.
Hi again.
Hi.
Happy birthday, Sue.
Thanks.
I can't believe I've got to this age! Make sure you enjoy your youth! And you haven't met Kerry.
Oh, hi, Kerry.
Pleased to meet you.
Hi.
Happy birthday.
And who's this gorgeous little girl? What's your name? Belle.
Belle, beautiful name, for a beautiful little girl.
And this is her brother Sam.
Oh, hi, Sam.
Thank you for coming to my party.
There's just There's one other person I'd like you to meet.
This is Rob my partner.
Hi, happy birthday.
Oh, that's nice, so you work at Fairburn and Lupton- No, Mum, not my business partner.
We live together.
We have done for two and a half years.
But I thought you and Natalie? Natalie and Kerry .
.
are mothers to my children Belle and Sam.
Sorry, I'm sorry Did you say your children? That's right.
Belle and Sam are your grandchildren, Mum.
What did you think was gonna happen, Andrew?! I thought you'd be pleased, ecstatic, you'd got two grandkids.
I am ecstatic! It's absolutely wonderful I've got two grandchildren.
But, I'm also hurt and upset, that I've missed HUGE chunks of their life because you chose not to tell me they exist! I know that feeling very well.
What on earth are you talking about? Many, many times I felt like I didn't exist, and as far as John was concerned.
I didn't! What has John got to do with it? He's got EVERYTHING to do with it! Because your life, my life, was all about him.
Where he went, what he did, When he wanted to see you.
You'd drop everything to be with him.
That's not true.
I'd be dumped with Gran or- You're being ridiculous! Have you forgotten that time we met him and his family in town, his wife and his two macho rugby sons? I don't think you'd have even introduced me if she hadn't asked who I was.
Then my 'father' holds out his hand like I'm some fucking stranger.
"Pleased to meet you, Andrew.
" What did you expect him to say with his wife and two sons standing there? I was standing there.
Yes, I know that! No, I don't think you do! I don't think you considered me for one second.
It was always you and him and I was somewhere way down the list.
I was 15 years old.
I thought the man was some kind of god! I believed all that crap you kept telling me about how he was gonna leave his wife after Jason went to university and we were gonna be a proper family.
I believed it! Then it dawned on me that was never gonna happen.
It was so sad seeing how he was just stringing you along.
And then I just got angry.
But that's him, not me.
I had to distance myself from you while you were with him, or I'd have gone insane.
But don't you understand? You've denied my grandchildren to me, just like John denied you to his family.
Well now you know what it feels like.
Come on.
We're going.
Come on.
There you are, love.
I must be a terrible person.
No, you're not! Don't be silly.
I'm not fit to be a mother.
Stop it! I knew Andrew didn't like John, but I'd no idea how much he hated him.
If he denied him, it must've been an awful blow for a lad that age.
Why didn't he tell me how he felt before? Tom never stopped going on about how he hated Dave.
But John's his biological father! Doesn't make any difference.
If he doesn't like him, he doesn't like him.
I've missed all those years of my grandchildren's lives.
That beautiful little girl, Belle, is my own flesh and blood.
I never got to hold her in my arms when she was a little baby.
Never mind, you can hold her now.
No, he doesn't want me to see them.
He didn't say that! He didn't.
It's John he has a problem with, not you.
He blames me, he blames me for not saying anything to him, I suppose for not finishing it.
But it's over now.
Maybe that's why he decided he could tell you, and introduce you to his family.
You can tell he loves you.
That's why he hates John so much.
He can't stand seeing him making a fool of you.
He did make a fool of me.
But I'm not gonna let that happen any more.
Andrew was right.
Why couldn't I see that? Cos I don't think you wanted to.
Oh, here's your mam.
I tried to stop them leaving, but he's very wound up and angry.
Did you know, Mother? Well, Natalie was his friend from work and I thought the same as you.
I don't mean about Andrew being gay, I mean about the children.
Did you know I had grandchildren? I wanted to tell you.
You knew! He wouldn't let me.
He said he wanted to tell you himself.
I had to respect that.
And he did try.
When? I don't remember.
Well, he has, believe me.
Even I have tried to hint a few times to you, but, well, it always seemed to go right over your head.
I want to know my grandchildren.
I want to know who they are.
I want to hold them in my arms.
I want to have been there when they were born, that's what I want.
Come on, love.
Don't get upset.
I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
Happy! Happy.
You've got two grandchildren.
Did you see Sam? He's identical to Andrew when he was a baby.
- I should've known straight away.
- I'll get her stuff.
It's a different sort of a family to what we know, darling but They all seem so happy, and that's the main thing.
- I want to be part of that family! - And you will be.
Do you think? You've just got to tell him how you feel.
That you love him, and that you're done with John.
Tell him you want to get know his family.
Your family.
We've got to go.
Taxi's waiting.
Thanks, love.
Bye, love.
I wish we didn't have to leave you.
Me neither.
We'll ring or text as soon as we get there.
You won't forget, will you? We could Facetime you when we get into port.
I don't know how to do that kind of stuff! I'll show you.
It's dead easy.
Look after her, won't you? I will.
Bye, Ben.
See you soon.
Bye.
I'm gonna fix my face, and I'm gonna go and see my son, and say I'm sorry.
Do you have the address, Mum? Yes.
We could drop you off, but we can't come in cos Frank likes to snuggle up in bed with me by nine.
Oh, that's gross.
I can understand Sue being upset.
How many times has she said she wanted a grandchild? She's got two now.
Hiya.
Where have you been? I've been trying to ring you.
Well, you're a bit late.
I'm sorry, but something important came up.
It's all right- Your mum's been walkabout.
My mam? Yeah.
Yeah.
They've been trying to get in touch, but your phone's been turned off.
I forgot to turn it back on after the spa! Oh.
Where is she? Where did she go? Scarborough on a bus, but she's all right.
I went and picked her up.
I told her I was going to the spa.
She must've got hold of the wrong end of the stick.
Listen, do you want to stay on for a bit cos? But I promised I'd go home with you.
I know, but I've got to face going into the house sometime on my own.
Well, party's finished, but I suppose we could No, it's fine.
You go with Linda and we'll do it another time.
Yeah.
Right.
OK.
I'll see ya.
Ta-ra.
Oh, will you ring me? Yeah.
Definitely! You look nice by the way.
Thank you and, and thanks for sorting my mam out.
That were really nice of you.
Ah, it's no problem.
They've started quiz night again at the Old Bull if you fancy it? Yeah! Yeah, that would be great.
I'll, er, pick you up half seven then.
Bye.
- Is this it? - Beautiful, isn't it? I'm sorry to just call round- I guess you want Andrew.
Can I just say, I don't have ANY problem with you and Andrew- It's OK.
Come in.
No, it-it's not OK.
I need to say this because it's important- Who is it? Just me.
I couldn't have left it like that.
I wouldn't have been able to sleep.
I want to say sorry for not saying anything that day when we met John and his family- We're getting the children ready for bed- I should have realised how hurtful and humiliating that must have been for you.
And, for all the other times when I've let you down and put him before you.
Look, why don't we go into the living room? Midnight Come in.
Thanks.
Hello, sweetheart.
Are you in your jim-jams? Ohh.
This is so beautiful.
Well, Kerry's an interior designer, so she did most of it.
We all did it.
Most of it's things we picked up in second-hand shops.
We're slowly working through the house.
Oh, sit down.
Erm, can I get you anything? A humble pie.
A glass of wine? Erm A large G&T.
I'll get it.
That would be lovely.
Thank you.
Andrew used to sleep in a babygrow.
I don't suppose they call them that.
It only just fits! He's growing out of all his clothes.
Oh, I could buy him a new one! He's got new ones.
Or anything Erm, Belle too.
Can I use the brush please, Mummy? Yes.
Will you brush my hair, please? Yes, I will.
I'd love to brush your hair.
You don't know me, but I am your Nanny Sue.
You've got beautiful hair.
Thanks for coming home with me.
I was dreading it, the house being empty, and that Carole Hardcastle woman knows where I live.
I wonder how she knew? I had to put it in the local paper, saying he'd fallen overboard and was presumed dead.
Solicitor said we had to do it or we couldn't get a death certificate and we need one before the insurance company will pay.
Are you all right? Great.
But now this Carole woman has started saying stuff, it might hold everything up.
I don't understand what she wants? Neither do I.
None of it makes sense.
You don't think there's anything in it? Like what? Like, maybe he knew her? Like, maybe they were having an affair? No, just that She said I pushed him overboard! She's a nutcase.
Yeah.
You're right.
Do you want tea? Yeah.
Go on.
I didn't expect Dave to turn up at Angelica's.
I'd arranged for him to come to the party but I thought he'd stood me up.
Well, you've got a date now.
And a chance to say what I really feel, that I don't want to get divorced.
You should never have started with solicitors.
Well, I know that now, and it cost a bloody fortune! But, we're all wise in hindsight, Linda.
Like, you were saying earlier, you'd do stuff differently if you had your chance again.
I mean, thank God, you took out that life insurance on Micky.
It wasn't me that took it out.
It was him.
I didn't said it were you.
You made it sound like it was me.
You said "YOU took out.
" I just meant it was a good job you'd took out insurance.
Well, I might not have it, if the inquest says it was suicide.
Why would he commit suicide if he was happily married? I don't understand.
No.
I don't, either.
Maybe, he did just lose his balance and fall overboard.
Well What other explanation is there?! I don't know what you're trying to say, Gail.
Nothing.
Nothing.
I'm not trying to say anything.
It doesn't sound like it to me.
I'm just trying to be helpful.
Well, you're not! Do you want me to show you how to Facetime? I'm too tired.
Come on, give me your phone.
I'll put Ryan and Ruby's numbers in.
What's your code? Here.
Four O's.
It's the only one I can remember.
Are you gonna give Nanny Sue a kiss goodnight? Aw! Night-night.
Say, "Night-night, Nanny Sue.
" Night, Nanny Sue.
Sleep tight.
That is the sweetest, loveliest little girl I have ever seen.
She can be a right little madam sometimes.
She knows exactly when to turn on her best cutey look.
She's got us all wrapped around her little finger.
She really does.
If, if ever, you want either of them looking after, I'd be delighted.
We're pretty much covered with four of us.
Right, yeah.
I expect they'll have lots of grandparents, too.
But, I-I would love to get to know them properly .
.
and become part of their lives.
I've missed so much already.
Well, let's just take it one step at a time, shall we? Erm I'm going to take Teddy for his last walk.
If you're not here when I get back, it's been lovely to meet you.
Oh! And you.
Take care.
OK? Yeah.
Come on, Teddy.
Let's go.
Good boy.
He makes me very happy.
I can see that.
And I'm so pleased that you've found somebody.
Not like me.
I've made a complete mess of my life.
Not a complete mess.
The only good thing to come out of the relationship with John was you .
.
and now my grandchildren.
Well, we're still gonna sue the arse off him.
Yes, we are.
You'll stand up at the tribunal and in front of everybody say what he said to you about being too old for the job.
Yes.
I might not put it quite like that though.
You're going to have to say it, Mum.
I will.
I will, I promise.
I'm going to enjoy making him pay for what he's done to you.
You do care about me then? Of course I care about you.
I love you.
You're my mum.
There's no guarantee, is there? I mean, what sort of a mother must I be if .
.
my own son can't tell me I've been wanting to tell you for years.
Just the longer it went on, the harder it got.
The morning Belle was born, I came round to tell you and take you to the hospital to see her.
What happened? Why didn't you? I rang the bell and knocked on the door.
And you weren't there.
You'd gone away.
In Cornwall, do you remember? I'm a woman of a certain age.
I can't remember what I did yesterday.
You'd gone there to do a feature for the magazine.
I expect you were with him.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
So I just I thought I'd get on with my own life and my own family.
Oh! I am entirely to blame for missing out on you, and on Belle and little Sam.
Will you give me the chance to make things right? Two grandchildren would be just the best birthday present ever.
If you press that, all your numbers will come up.
Lovely.
Thanks.
Do you want a biscuit? Go on then.
I've put Ryan's, Ruby's, mine and Sue's numbers in for you so Oh.
That'll be a text.
It'll be our Ruby letting me know they've got there.
No.
I don't think it's Ruby.
Well, who is it? I think it's that Carole woman again.
What?! How can SHE have my number? I wouldn't read it if I were you.
It's harassment.
I wanna see what she's gotta say.
What? What does she mean? "Tell your" Have you been to see her behind my back? No Well, we just wanted to tell her to leave you alone, that's all.
That's why you were asking about insurance and all the questions and insinuations.
You think I pushed him overboard as well! We don't think that.
I get it now.
Some kind of friends you are! You've got it wrong, Linda.
No, I haven't! You went round there cos you wanted to check her out, and see what she's got to say for herself.
No, we went to warn her off, tell her to leave you alone and stop telling tales to the police.
I think you better leave.
Don't be like that! I'd like you to go.
NOW! Please.
Let's go, love.
We're going to go home cos Linda's not very well.
- Come on, then.
- Come on, love.
Gail! Thank you.
I think it's gonna be all right with Andrew! Obviously, we're gonna take it slow.
Hi, chicken What's the matter? That woman text Linda and told her we went round to see her and then, I brought up the insurance and she went ballistic and then Whoa, whoa, whoa! Then she threw me out and- Oh, my God! What do they want? I don't know.
Have you brought her computer back? I'm gonna tell Linda they're here.
Hello? Linda There's someone to see you, Linda.
The police are here.
You're aware we're investigating the death of your husband? Can I just say, I think it's very late- .
.
arresting you on suspicion of his murder onboard the Aztec cruise ship on the 15th of June.
You can't do that! It's ridiculous! You're not serious, are you? .
.
may be used in evidence.
Do you understand?
