Hope Springs s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
I owe you, big-time.
You do you rotten sod.
Mr Roy Langdon? We've done it! Barbados, here we come! Oh, my good god! Find her, Marius, or it'll be you paying the price.
You looked after an Ellie Langdon, didn't you? List of all her phone calls, prison visits, and name and addresses of all her jail mates.
"Hope Springs.
" We're staying.
What? It's the perfect cover till we're sorted.
Just get your mum moved out of that hotel.
We've got no money, no passports and we're stuck under a spotlight in the middle of nowhere.
Things COULD be worse.
VOICES ECHO: Where's our money? Where's the money, Ell? Ellie, where is the money? Ell? Where's the money? ELLIE GASPS ELLIE SIGHS BIRDS SING TURBINE BLADES WHIRR RHYTHMICALLY We've got £36.
28.
Our electricity's about to be cut off, we're down to our last barrel, never mind how we're going to buy ourselves food.
Umyou've got dung on your boot, or animal droppings or something, or manure.
Must have stepped on a cow pat.
Get it out of my kitchen.
Oh, Godsakesit's nature! What's that? Fore you blame me for nicking it, I found it in the caravan.
So it's mine, right? Hands! Last week we're millionaires and now we're stuck Jockland forever! You should come out on a run with me.
Give yourself a high.
High? Three million of our quid has just went whoosh.
We are SKINT! So why are we sitting around in this dump? We can't get to Barbados 'less we got passports.
We can't get passports 'less we got an address.
When we've got our passports, there are four plane tickets to buy.
And none of us want's to get to Barbados broke.
(So let's do another job.
) For Godsakes! How many times do I have to tell you? We have GOT to keep our sodding heads down! Oh, this is daft.
Just let me at her! There's nothing wrong with my legs! You heard what the doctor said.
That fire was a big shock to you.
Hmm, it would have suited you better if I'd gone up in flames.
How can you say that?! Oh, just the small matter of you getting your hands on my money.
She's all yours.
Oh, goody(!) Thanks, darling.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
Right, I'd better get going.
Bye-bye.
Now, b-before you say anything, girls, nobody can make me feel any worse than I already do.
Oh, I doubt that, Mum.
It's just a bit of smoke damage, eh? You said you were going to decorate anyway.
Now do you see what I've been talking about? She needs to be in residential care! Why can't she move in with you? Pah! There's your answer.
Well, my answer is Chuck.
Her.
Out.
You want to remember that you're just a waitress.
Cheeky wee shite! Remember, my mother was all ready to sell up to Euan Harries before you lot pitched up.
Lucky you like her so much.
Why don't we go back to that Euan What's-his-name? I reckon that he would buy this place like a shot.
Cos, like Sadie says, she's a sitting tenant and he won't buy it while she's here.
If we're stuck with the old cow, then why don't we nick back what we paid for this place? She burnt our stash - I reckon she owes us.
She'll have it in a bank, you moron! Or do you want to rob that as well? Noa bank is where we go to try and obtain a loan.
Eh? What d'you mean, a loan? A business loan! We've got a business, why shouldn't we apply for a loan? All right so for now, we've got to stick together, right? We've got to be nice with each other.
Come on, we're all friends.
Good.
So that's a deluxe double Friday/Saturday night.
Yes, Mr Muir, look forward to seeing you.
Did you ever pay for anything, Sadie? Well, this'll cheer you up.
We've got a couple of guests coming this weekend.
Guests? Coming here? We don't want any guests.
What do you mean you don't want any guests? You've bought a hotel.
Why wouldn't you want any guests? We've got plans for the place.
You've got to grab every guest going.
God knows, we only get a few bookings at the best of times.
Oh, Godsakes, just unbook 'em, will you? And stop interfering.
You'd better be right about us getting this loan.
It doesn't matter what I say to her, Euan, she's not reasonable, is she? Well, it's no use to me without vacant possession.
Well, why didn't you do something to stop her? Let me just clarify.
I'm not a crook, Ann Marie.
I don't bend the law to suit my own commercial interests.
Well, you say that No.
We had a private agreement.
You were to re-home your mother and I would buy her out.
And pay you 100% commission.
I can't believe I am suddenly STUCK here again! It was all about to be sorted.
Moving to Edinburgh getting well away from you! Oh, come on You don't want the little feller to hear you talking about his daddy like that, do you? (Shut up, Euan.
) You don't know that.
Aye, and your problem isneither do you.
Did you get it? Did you get the keys to the Jeep? Yeah.
This ain't exactly lying low though, is it? Yeah, but Ellie's lost her bottle and Hannah never really had one in the first place.
We're doing the right thing, aren't we? Trust me.
They will thank us when we come back loaded.
We've just got to be careful we don't hurt anyone.
It's antique, isn't it? It's nearly as old as Sadie.
Make my day, sucker! (I'm joking.
) Right Come on, if we're going to do this.
And they'd better be thanking us all.
No, no, I don't have a bank account at present, that's why I'm calling you, for you to make it worth my while What d'you mean "business plan"? I've told you my plan.
Like you give us a loan and I spend it on my business! No.
No.
You know what, thanks for nothing! Go on, then.
You have a go.
I'll listen to you.
Explain how you guarantee to make secure loan repayments monthly.
Hey, where's the Jeep? Eh? The Jeep's gone.
I'm a bit nervous now, Josie.
Shoo, we're desperate.
OK Yeah.
Right.
Give me five.
BELL RINGS HORN BEEPS Ta.
What can I do for you? Don't try nothing clever, mate.
Just do what it says, if you want to keep your head on.
Eh? What are you up to? Oh, me? Yeah, have you got Sadie's Jeep parked on the pavement? UmJosie should be in it.
Well, she's not, so you get it moved.
Eh? Yeah.
OK, I willin a minute.
No, now.
SHE PANTS SHE HYPERVENTILATES Are you on drugs or something? She wants medicated.
Oh, what am I doing? Oh, my god.
Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god! Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god! They've scarpered.
The little toe-rags! PHONE RINGS Sorryno guests.
Josie? You what?! Problem? You could say that.
Yeah.
So, do policemen make you nervous? Why? I'm not under arrest for anything, am I? Any crimes you want to fess up to? You've got nothing on me, mate.
And I ain't answering any more questions till you get me a lawyer cos I know my rights.
So you have been arrested before? No comment.
I'll take that as a yes, shall I? No comment.
Ells.
Shut it, you little thief.
No I got a call from Josie.
You picked her up in the bookie's? Yes, she took a funny turn.
Eh? Yeah.
I nearly fainted.
He brung me here.
You have to understand.
She got kicked in the head by one of her dads when she was two.
What you on about, Els? I'm on about you having Maltesers for brain cells.
Hey! You can't talk to me like that.
You'll get a lot worse when I get you back to the hotel.
She's been betting till money on the horses.
But I never! Do you want to report her for theft? No, no, she should just join bleeding Gamblers Anonymous! Yeah, well, your money's safe this time but I was THAT far away from charging her with annoying me.
See.
I reckon you'd better say thank you to the Chief Inspector for doing you such a favour.
But I didn't thieve nothing.
Well, I could tell she was no stranger to the cop shop.
But I'm not holding you for anything, so if you're fit to go Yeah.
There's a cab outside.
So why don't you get back to the hotel pronto and, er? Josie and Hannah, they need your help.
What about you? I'll catch you up.
Thank you ever so much.
She a flaming liability.
Where the hell are you going? Shoo! They let you out? Like you give a monkey's.
You was gonna run off and leave us, innit? No, we weren't We were just standing by.
So much for sodding sticking together! Shoo.
Shoo! You were supposed to be on lookout.
What's happened to Ellie? I left her with the pigs, didn't I? What do you mean? Why wouldn't she have come back with you? I dunno! And she was calling me a thief an' all! Well, that's what you are, isn't it? You're supposed to pay for that drink.
I have just about had enough of you and your big flapping ears! I'm not surprised.
What's all this about lookouts and pigs? Does anyone remember saying those words? No, we don't.
Ramblers! Don't give me that! There's something fishy going on here.
Yeah, there is, cos we're not ramblers, we're old lady killers! Will you shut it? Are you threatening me, young lady? Ellie will have something to say about this.
Well, she'll say what everyone else is saying.
You're not wanted.
I can't apologise enough.
It's fine.
Look, I'm sure you've got far more important things to deal with than my daft bar maid.
You should get Sadie to compensate you for the fire damage, if she didn't have insurance.
Well, she hasn't offered and she's probably playing the stock market by now.
Sadie? She'll have it squirreled away in a drawer somewhere.
You reckon? Don't tell that daft mate of yours, eh? Sadie doesn't hold with banks.
Hello.
Hey! This looks cosy.
What are you doing here? I could ask the same question.
I forced Gil to have a coffee, to say thank you for the other night.
My Gil would risk his life for a dog if he had to.
Well, I'll be off, then.
Someone's got to check Sadie's not in any danger.
See you later.
Bye(!) Gil, I've had an idea.
I know I've said different but if we were to have Mum come to stay with us, but just as a half-way step No way! The two weeks when she stayed with us last time We'd plan it better.
The pair of you living under one roof? Please, Gil.
Oh, all right, all rightask her.
But if she's not happy, then we have to cut our losses, OK? How long do we leave it before we panic? I started 20 minutes ago.
You don't think she's been arrested, do you? I flaming hope she has.
No, she hasn't been arrested.
Where's Sadie? Out.
I don't know where.
Excellent.
Now, listen because this whole thing nearly went belly up.
Yeah, because of you, Ells! We mightjust might if we work as a team get our hands on some cash.
It's a bit of a cheek, innit, you asking us to work as a team? God, Shoo, do you ever stop? I have never had nothing.
I bloody earned that money.
Yeah, well, it's gone now.
So she says! As far as we know, she could have chucked a few burnt fifties in the box to make us believe her lies! Josie, go with Shoo.
.
.
Hannah, come with me.
Are you sure about this, Ellie? Why do I always get hit? Do I look like a bleeding punch bag? She lost it, yeah? But so did we, Shoo.
I was only trying to help.
Not exactly successful, eh? If we get Sadie's cash, there's no way I'm staying round here.
Don't talk crap.
Should've left when I said before, when we still had our share of three million.
Look at it - it's peeing it down! Ain't nothing turned out like Ellie told us and then she hits me! Well, it's her should be hit.
Are you Nathan Donovan? Yeah, why? I want to talk to your girlfriend, Shanice Coggan? Yeah, she No, she's, er, not here.
Well, where is she then? She went to prison.
I know where she was, loverboy.
Aagh! What I want to know is where she is now.
Bingo! Thank you, God! It's still Sadie's money.
We'll have to pay it back.
Of course.
Right, we need to cut up some newspaper this size.
We don't need it all, Ellie, just enough to get the business started.
We're owed it.
She'll get the hotel back when we leave anyway.
We'll just stuff the newspaper back in here, stitch this back into the mattress and leave it just like we found it.
Ellie, what if Sadie finds out? She won't.
She's gonna sleep on top of it till she carks it! Old people can't spend 50p without having a bleeding heart attack! As you can see, it's a very spacious apartment.
And if you get lonely in the Jacuzzi, you've always got shared use of the indoor heated swimming pool and spa.
Mmm.
Very nice.
Lovely.
Hey, get yourself into town, buy a computer and a stock of spirits from the cash and carry.
We want our cut So we can leg it.
This money's for keeping us going till we sort our passports out.
End of.
This is end of.
Me and Josie's going on our own.
Is that right, Josie? What's the point, Ellie? Living here - it's not exactly what we had planned, is it? Never mind what happened with Shoo.
It's everyone for themselves now.
Hannah? What is there to keep us together, Ellie? Shoo, you can go back on the game, can't you? Be just like old times.
Well, you should blame yourself if I flaming do.
And Josie, what're you going back to? Oh, yeah, that loving Christian family who put you in a nuthouse? Hannah, you're going home to that husband you loved so much you stuck a knife in him? He would have killed me.
Bet he can still throw a few good punches from his wheelchair, eh? There's 50 grand each.
Take itand go to hell! You just bear in mind, there's a murdering psycho in jail who'll be after us, whatever, together or alone.
Come on, let's blag it to the Costa del Sol.
At least it's warm there.
What about you, Hans? Josie, Ellie's right.
What did we have before we found each other? Jim Temple? Detective Sergeant McTear.
I'm making some enquires into your ex-wife, Hannah Temple.
It's you and me now, Jose.
We'll show 'em how to get to The Dream.
But how will we go anywhere without passports? Like loads of illegals, yeah? Just go to wherever the nearest sea is round here give some fisher bloke a bung, and get him to take us to Spain on his boat.
What, just like that? Or we can hold him up.
Whatever, come on, just let's go! Look, we need to think this through.
You mean stay around here? I dunno.
You know maybe we owe it to Ells and Hans? We can't just walk out on them now.
Well, I can.
You just do what you want, right? Because I'm out of here.
No, Shoo.
Get off me! I've had it with the lot of you! I'm staying.
I don't blame them for wanting out.
They might as well.
Let's give it a go here, yeah? Just at least until we get our new passports? There's still a hope of us getting to Barbados.
All those nights in prison we spent dreaming about lying on the beach, drinking pina coladas.
It kept me going inside.
(We can't just let it die.
) Where's Shoo? She's gone.
She won't listen to me.
Well, she's not going to listen to me, is she? Well, itit's worth a try, innit? OK.
If I can't persuade her I'll shove her in a sack if I have to! Tight-fistedScotch Where're you going? Away from this hell-hole, anyway.
I quit.
Whywhat for? Cos a bunch of bleedin' cows don't change their spots, yeah? What? I'm sick of being pushed around.
Here, why don't you come with me? I'm sorry, I can't just up and leave.
I mean, I've got my mum to look after.
I've got responsibilities.
Course.
Oh, come on, Shoo I mean, we only just met.
Yeah, about eight times this week.
Better off on my own, innit? Shoo.
Here, take this.
What's that stuff? White heather.
It's meant to be lucky.
I'm gonna miss you.
Yeah, whatever.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo, wait! Shoo, wait! She's like my sister, you know? We must've shared at least three cells over the years.
I don't know if I'll be able to sleep without her flippin' snoring.
She always was a pain, though maybe we're better off.
What? Oh, shut up, Hannah.
We're supposed to be a team.
Four women against the world.
I didn't want her to leave any more than you did, darling.
I'm just trying to be positive.
God knows one of us has got to be.
Yeah Look, let's not fall out, now.
I can't stand it.
Right, come on, we've got work to do.
Bills to pay The dream lives on, OK? Hannah's right.
We should be trying to make as much as we can out of this place.
Guest rooms, catering Can't be harder than cooking for 400 pissed-off prisoners, can it? I don't think frozen sausages and chips are going to cut it, somehow.
Good.
Well, at least it'll give me something to get my teeth into.
And the more we look legit, the more we keep Sadie at bay.
Well, if we're going to sort those passports, we'll need a computer.
I'll get you some money.
Excuse us, how long's the bus to Glasgow, mate? Two hours.
Can I have loan of your phone? Ta.
Yeah, a dozen of your Shiraz and your Chardonnay.
Great, first thing tomorrow morning? Right, we'll pay cash on delivery.
Cheers.
I'll ring round the local farms.
Set up deals on local food supplies.
You know what, Hans? Hannah.
I think this might just work.
Well, you can congratulate me.
I am about to become the owner of a brand new flat.
And it looks like something out of Footballers' Wives.
You're kidding, right? I've already signed.
Just popped back to fetch the deposit.
You should have seen his face when I said it was cash! I'm going to have a bleeding heart attack here.
Sadieyou can't go.
You'll be glad to see the back of me and I'll be glad to see the back of you, all of you, whoever you are.
Well, what was said this morning, that's just how we are together.
Yeah, we're always slagging each other off.
It's a sign of affection.
Yeah, we never meant you to move out.
Really! I want to, though.
You were right, Hannah, it'll do me good to get out of here.
Let's have a drink.
Oh, come on, tell us all about it.
And you'll be happy to know Shoo's left us.
It's not going to make much difference to me, is it? You want to see what this little baby can do.
It's like Barbados in a box.
Sadie's back.
She's looking for her money to buy a new flat, so we've got to get her plastered and fast.
What? Tanking her up? She's half cut by five o'clock most days anyway.
We're just bringing it forward three hours.
Yeah, but.
.
Look, if we don't do this, she'll go upstairs and discover we've nicked her nest egg.
Yeah, but we can't keep her drunk, like, forever.
Look, just stash that somewhere, will you? I can't wait! See? And there's the bedroom.
Isn't that grand?! Hello? Hi, Nathan Who's that? Babes, it's me.
Shoo? Yeah and you'll never guess what You'll never believe what I've got, right, 50 grand! Nate? Nate? Where are you? Well, I'm headed for Glasgow, wherever that is.
But I'm gonna jump the next train to London.
No.
No You stay right there and I'll come pick you up.
It's Scotland, though, babe! Yeah, well, we'll make a holiday out of it.
Celebrate you getting out, right? Justbook a Travel Lodge and phone us where.
Then hold tight till I get there.
I love you, Nathan.
CHAMPAGNE CORK POPS Are you sure you won't miss all of this, though? I mean, it's a big change for someone your age.
No, no.
I'll be gassed if you're not careful.
Good on you, Sadie.
Please don't go, Sadie.
I like having you around.
Ah, well, you can come and visit.
Oh, Josie It's only got a Jacuzzi! (Are you trying to kill her? Trust me!) Hear that, girls? A Jacuzzi no less! Sounds fantastic.
Here's to many a happy soak in that, eh? Jacuzzis! Do you have a disposable camera, please? Did I tell youit's 's'gotta chacuzzi? Yeah, yeah.
Top notch.
There we go.
Night, night.
Sorry, Sadie.
Needs must.
Hi, can I help you? IN SCOTTISH ACCENT: Mr Patterson? Do you want to register? Sorry you didn't have this woman put an offer on a flat today, did you? Miss Cairncross? She, erlooked a little different this morning.
She's my mother.
Yes? So? Six days out of seven she looks like this.
On the other day she combs her hair, puts on a nice coat and pretends she has money to buy things like luxury flats.
What's wrong with her? She's got a syndrome.
Syndrome? Aye, it involves getting through three bottles of vodka a day.
I suppose she told you she was a cash buyer? I mean, how ludicrous is that? Like she keeps two hundred grand under her pillow? So, Gil's agreed.
Mum can move in.
Well, some progress at last.
Well, I haven't actually prised her out the hotel yet.
God knows how I'm going to do that.
You know what your problem is, Ann Marie? You're too calculating.
Did you ever think of asking her nicely? You don't know my mother.
TELEPHONE RINGS Euan Harries? Oh, Sadie! Oh, that's excellent news, Sadie.
Yeah, I'll pop round after work, OK? All right, bye.
It's your mother.
Apparently, she's now the owner of a brand new luxury pad.
What?! Problem solved, I think.
That's my inheritance she's chucking away! Well, you'll just have to wait until she's popped her clogs, I'm afraid.
Oh, and since this all happened without your intervention, I can't see that I'm under any obligation to make that extra payment to you.
I'm sorry.
Oh, Nate! You babe! SHOO GIGGLES AND SHRIEKS Jeez this ain't no Travel Lodge, Shoo.
Nah, but I can afford it now, can't I? D'you think I done good? I think you done awesome.
But how? You really got 50 grand? Yeah.
Can I see it? Maybe later, eh? So what are you doing in Scotland? I dunno, really.
I just got on a train, ended up with a bar job in some crummy hotel in some village, you know, I thought like I'd try and go straight, but, but they treated me like crap, Nate, so so I waited my chance to get in the safe and I legged it.
Don't that mean they'll have the cops after you? No, cos they was all on the fiddle themselves.
Can you believe it? It's like a dream me and you back together? You're not with that Vicky no more, then? You just don't know how much I've been missing you, Shoo.
State of the art, this.
It should be at this price.
TELEPHONE RINGS Hello? Yeah? Who? Oh! Oh, the estate agent Ah, Mr Patterson.
Yes.
Mrs Cairncross I'm sorry, I was just having a wee nap.
Problems? Well, what problems? What do you mean "better offer"? It was a fixed price and I offered you cash.
My daughter? What's the? What's up, Sadie? I've been gazumped! Oh, no! Just when I'd got myself all geared up to move! Oh, that's terrible.
He said it had something to do with my daughter? Ann Marie? Mum! What's all this rubbish about you buying a flat? So you do know about it? And you've just gone and ruined it for me! You mean you haven't bought it? No.
Thanks to you.
I've a good mind to put the police on to you.
Maybe it's for the best, yeah? It was probably a bit flash for you.
Mum, I have NO idea what you're talking about but I'm not having you moving into a flat or anywhere else, but in with Gil and I.
You don't want to up sticks and move to Edinburgh, turn your back on all your memories here? Excuse me but I think I know what's best for my own mother! You can't even see she doesn't want to move in with you? Look, we've all been under a bit of a strain lately, but you're welcome to stay as long as you like, Sadie.
Are you serious? No, she's not serious.
We're not the ones after your money.
I really think that we can make a go of The Hope Springs Hotel.
I don't get this.
You know Euan would give you a good price for the place if you named it.
I can see right through you, Ann Marie.
Euan can double the price.
We're not going anywhere.
This is our home.
And it's your home too.
I was going to do this earlier, but I think I should give you your money back to help with the fire damage.
Absolutely not! No way, Sadie.
That's your nest egg! And we want you to keep it totally safe, wherever it is.
You've screwed up, Ann Marie.
These women, they've got a hold over her.
I don't understand it.
Well, they seem to enjoy getting in my way.
Well, maybe they can sense you're desperate.
You are the best, babes.
You know there ain't no-one else for me.
I brought you a treat.
Oh, leave it out, Nate.
I've been clean for nearly two years.
Come on, I want to get high with you.
It'll be likeour reunion, yeah? Let's have another bottle of champagne, then, eh? Not with that stuff.
Anything's cool with me, babe .
.
now that I've got you back.
She's stealing my own mother from me.
Oh, give it a rest, Ann Marie.
With the money they paid her, she could still give us the deposit for our house.
Our house! You should never have made an offer and I never wanted your Mum's money, so leave it, eh? Let's face it.
The busier she's kept serving folk, the less time she'll have to drink herself to death.
Take Ann Marie over a drink, Sadie.
I think you two need to make up, huh? I'm not one to bear a grudge.
If she wants a truce It's ME that needs made up to, mind.
Can I have a pint of lager, please? Coming up.
Apologies for Ann Marie earlier.
She is a bit hyper with everything.
.
Oh, don't be daft It's understandable.
I've been on your case today, McKenzie.
My case? Yours, your brother's.
For all I know it's the same thing.
I don't know where Billy is.
And if I did, I'd tell him to never come back here.
Cos he's going to get jailed for something he didn't do.
I don't think you'll get much out of him.
You think he's covering up? He doesn't know anything.
It's obvious.
The kid wears his heart on a bloody great neon sign.
Well, you're the only person around here that thinks that .
.
apart from me.
MUFFLED RUSTLING NOISE GETS LOUDER MOBILE PHONE BUZZES Hey, babe.
Sorted.
Yeah, I got it.
Yeah.
I'm on my way back All her prison pals have disappeared with her.
And no-one seems to know where.
Bull! One of them must have said something to someone.
I'll pick up a trail somehow Yeah? You'd better.
I'm gonna need someone to smack if it ain't my wife.
That's the last of 'em.
Look at this our new screensaver.
I wish Shoo could be here to see it.
I thought you were supposed to be using that to get us new passports.
There's nothing wrong with reminding us why we're doing all this, though? Another bleeding day like today and we'll not see the end of the garden path, never mind Barbados.
Who knows? Maybe Shoo'll get there first - invite us to join her? You go on up to bed, Ellie All of you! I'll lock up here.
No, Sadie, not after last time.
If I'm staying on, like you all want, I intend to make myself useful.
So, come on, chop chop! Unless you're fibbing and you'd rather I bought that flat? Night! Night-night.
WOOD RATTLES RATTLING CONTINUES OUTER DOOR CREAKS OPEN FOOTSTEPS APPROACH DOOR KNOB SQUEAKS, DOOR CREAKS OPEN Stop! Thief! Aaargh! Aaargh! What you trying to do, cut my head off?! It's me, you daft old bat! Well! Look what the cat's dragged in! Shoo What on earth's happening? Shoo! Josie.
Where the bloody hell've you been? Well, I was gonna go back to London but then I changed my mind.
Cos, like, I missed my best mates.
What's happened to your eye? Went and fell down pissed, innit?! Well, I'm pooped myself.
I'll say good night to you all.
Sadie I didn't mean to be a cow.
There's worse than you out there, yeah? And there was me thinking I was special.
Eh, I hope you've still got your share of the kitty! Yes, I have, actually, Hannah(!) Well, most of it, anyways.
I had to cheer myself up a bit.
TELEPHONE RINGS Who's that? It's Nathan Donovan.
You came to see me about my ex You better never run out on us again, Shoo.
No, look, honest, I promise, right? I know what a stupid cow I've been and I feel really bad.
Good.
Honestly, Ells, I'm dead sorry.
Well, I'm sure I can think of a lot of horrible jobs you can do to help ease your conscience.
Let's just drink to being back together and on track again, yeah? Now we've got a computer to help get us some passports, and a business to make us some dosh! Barbados, here we come.
ALL: Barbados, here we come! I'm just being nosey about YOUR family, Ellie.
Haven't got any dark secrets, have you? There's two Gs in there and two more after.
Now, what do you know? Plenty.
Ellie Williams is a total fraud.
You do you rotten sod.
Mr Roy Langdon? We've done it! Barbados, here we come! Oh, my good god! Find her, Marius, or it'll be you paying the price.
You looked after an Ellie Langdon, didn't you? List of all her phone calls, prison visits, and name and addresses of all her jail mates.
"Hope Springs.
" We're staying.
What? It's the perfect cover till we're sorted.
Just get your mum moved out of that hotel.
We've got no money, no passports and we're stuck under a spotlight in the middle of nowhere.
Things COULD be worse.
VOICES ECHO: Where's our money? Where's the money, Ell? Ellie, where is the money? Ell? Where's the money? ELLIE GASPS ELLIE SIGHS BIRDS SING TURBINE BLADES WHIRR RHYTHMICALLY We've got £36.
28.
Our electricity's about to be cut off, we're down to our last barrel, never mind how we're going to buy ourselves food.
Umyou've got dung on your boot, or animal droppings or something, or manure.
Must have stepped on a cow pat.
Get it out of my kitchen.
Oh, Godsakesit's nature! What's that? Fore you blame me for nicking it, I found it in the caravan.
So it's mine, right? Hands! Last week we're millionaires and now we're stuck Jockland forever! You should come out on a run with me.
Give yourself a high.
High? Three million of our quid has just went whoosh.
We are SKINT! So why are we sitting around in this dump? We can't get to Barbados 'less we got passports.
We can't get passports 'less we got an address.
When we've got our passports, there are four plane tickets to buy.
And none of us want's to get to Barbados broke.
(So let's do another job.
) For Godsakes! How many times do I have to tell you? We have GOT to keep our sodding heads down! Oh, this is daft.
Just let me at her! There's nothing wrong with my legs! You heard what the doctor said.
That fire was a big shock to you.
Hmm, it would have suited you better if I'd gone up in flames.
How can you say that?! Oh, just the small matter of you getting your hands on my money.
She's all yours.
Oh, goody(!) Thanks, darling.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
Right, I'd better get going.
Bye-bye.
Now, b-before you say anything, girls, nobody can make me feel any worse than I already do.
Oh, I doubt that, Mum.
It's just a bit of smoke damage, eh? You said you were going to decorate anyway.
Now do you see what I've been talking about? She needs to be in residential care! Why can't she move in with you? Pah! There's your answer.
Well, my answer is Chuck.
Her.
Out.
You want to remember that you're just a waitress.
Cheeky wee shite! Remember, my mother was all ready to sell up to Euan Harries before you lot pitched up.
Lucky you like her so much.
Why don't we go back to that Euan What's-his-name? I reckon that he would buy this place like a shot.
Cos, like Sadie says, she's a sitting tenant and he won't buy it while she's here.
If we're stuck with the old cow, then why don't we nick back what we paid for this place? She burnt our stash - I reckon she owes us.
She'll have it in a bank, you moron! Or do you want to rob that as well? Noa bank is where we go to try and obtain a loan.
Eh? What d'you mean, a loan? A business loan! We've got a business, why shouldn't we apply for a loan? All right so for now, we've got to stick together, right? We've got to be nice with each other.
Come on, we're all friends.
Good.
So that's a deluxe double Friday/Saturday night.
Yes, Mr Muir, look forward to seeing you.
Did you ever pay for anything, Sadie? Well, this'll cheer you up.
We've got a couple of guests coming this weekend.
Guests? Coming here? We don't want any guests.
What do you mean you don't want any guests? You've bought a hotel.
Why wouldn't you want any guests? We've got plans for the place.
You've got to grab every guest going.
God knows, we only get a few bookings at the best of times.
Oh, Godsakes, just unbook 'em, will you? And stop interfering.
You'd better be right about us getting this loan.
It doesn't matter what I say to her, Euan, she's not reasonable, is she? Well, it's no use to me without vacant possession.
Well, why didn't you do something to stop her? Let me just clarify.
I'm not a crook, Ann Marie.
I don't bend the law to suit my own commercial interests.
Well, you say that No.
We had a private agreement.
You were to re-home your mother and I would buy her out.
And pay you 100% commission.
I can't believe I am suddenly STUCK here again! It was all about to be sorted.
Moving to Edinburgh getting well away from you! Oh, come on You don't want the little feller to hear you talking about his daddy like that, do you? (Shut up, Euan.
) You don't know that.
Aye, and your problem isneither do you.
Did you get it? Did you get the keys to the Jeep? Yeah.
This ain't exactly lying low though, is it? Yeah, but Ellie's lost her bottle and Hannah never really had one in the first place.
We're doing the right thing, aren't we? Trust me.
They will thank us when we come back loaded.
We've just got to be careful we don't hurt anyone.
It's antique, isn't it? It's nearly as old as Sadie.
Make my day, sucker! (I'm joking.
) Right Come on, if we're going to do this.
And they'd better be thanking us all.
No, no, I don't have a bank account at present, that's why I'm calling you, for you to make it worth my while What d'you mean "business plan"? I've told you my plan.
Like you give us a loan and I spend it on my business! No.
No.
You know what, thanks for nothing! Go on, then.
You have a go.
I'll listen to you.
Explain how you guarantee to make secure loan repayments monthly.
Hey, where's the Jeep? Eh? The Jeep's gone.
I'm a bit nervous now, Josie.
Shoo, we're desperate.
OK Yeah.
Right.
Give me five.
BELL RINGS HORN BEEPS Ta.
What can I do for you? Don't try nothing clever, mate.
Just do what it says, if you want to keep your head on.
Eh? What are you up to? Oh, me? Yeah, have you got Sadie's Jeep parked on the pavement? UmJosie should be in it.
Well, she's not, so you get it moved.
Eh? Yeah.
OK, I willin a minute.
No, now.
SHE PANTS SHE HYPERVENTILATES Are you on drugs or something? She wants medicated.
Oh, what am I doing? Oh, my god.
Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god! Oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god, oh, my god! They've scarpered.
The little toe-rags! PHONE RINGS Sorryno guests.
Josie? You what?! Problem? You could say that.
Yeah.
So, do policemen make you nervous? Why? I'm not under arrest for anything, am I? Any crimes you want to fess up to? You've got nothing on me, mate.
And I ain't answering any more questions till you get me a lawyer cos I know my rights.
So you have been arrested before? No comment.
I'll take that as a yes, shall I? No comment.
Ells.
Shut it, you little thief.
No I got a call from Josie.
You picked her up in the bookie's? Yes, she took a funny turn.
Eh? Yeah.
I nearly fainted.
He brung me here.
You have to understand.
She got kicked in the head by one of her dads when she was two.
What you on about, Els? I'm on about you having Maltesers for brain cells.
Hey! You can't talk to me like that.
You'll get a lot worse when I get you back to the hotel.
She's been betting till money on the horses.
But I never! Do you want to report her for theft? No, no, she should just join bleeding Gamblers Anonymous! Yeah, well, your money's safe this time but I was THAT far away from charging her with annoying me.
See.
I reckon you'd better say thank you to the Chief Inspector for doing you such a favour.
But I didn't thieve nothing.
Well, I could tell she was no stranger to the cop shop.
But I'm not holding you for anything, so if you're fit to go Yeah.
There's a cab outside.
So why don't you get back to the hotel pronto and, er? Josie and Hannah, they need your help.
What about you? I'll catch you up.
Thank you ever so much.
She a flaming liability.
Where the hell are you going? Shoo! They let you out? Like you give a monkey's.
You was gonna run off and leave us, innit? No, we weren't We were just standing by.
So much for sodding sticking together! Shoo.
Shoo! You were supposed to be on lookout.
What's happened to Ellie? I left her with the pigs, didn't I? What do you mean? Why wouldn't she have come back with you? I dunno! And she was calling me a thief an' all! Well, that's what you are, isn't it? You're supposed to pay for that drink.
I have just about had enough of you and your big flapping ears! I'm not surprised.
What's all this about lookouts and pigs? Does anyone remember saying those words? No, we don't.
Ramblers! Don't give me that! There's something fishy going on here.
Yeah, there is, cos we're not ramblers, we're old lady killers! Will you shut it? Are you threatening me, young lady? Ellie will have something to say about this.
Well, she'll say what everyone else is saying.
You're not wanted.
I can't apologise enough.
It's fine.
Look, I'm sure you've got far more important things to deal with than my daft bar maid.
You should get Sadie to compensate you for the fire damage, if she didn't have insurance.
Well, she hasn't offered and she's probably playing the stock market by now.
Sadie? She'll have it squirreled away in a drawer somewhere.
You reckon? Don't tell that daft mate of yours, eh? Sadie doesn't hold with banks.
Hello.
Hey! This looks cosy.
What are you doing here? I could ask the same question.
I forced Gil to have a coffee, to say thank you for the other night.
My Gil would risk his life for a dog if he had to.
Well, I'll be off, then.
Someone's got to check Sadie's not in any danger.
See you later.
Bye(!) Gil, I've had an idea.
I know I've said different but if we were to have Mum come to stay with us, but just as a half-way step No way! The two weeks when she stayed with us last time We'd plan it better.
The pair of you living under one roof? Please, Gil.
Oh, all right, all rightask her.
But if she's not happy, then we have to cut our losses, OK? How long do we leave it before we panic? I started 20 minutes ago.
You don't think she's been arrested, do you? I flaming hope she has.
No, she hasn't been arrested.
Where's Sadie? Out.
I don't know where.
Excellent.
Now, listen because this whole thing nearly went belly up.
Yeah, because of you, Ells! We mightjust might if we work as a team get our hands on some cash.
It's a bit of a cheek, innit, you asking us to work as a team? God, Shoo, do you ever stop? I have never had nothing.
I bloody earned that money.
Yeah, well, it's gone now.
So she says! As far as we know, she could have chucked a few burnt fifties in the box to make us believe her lies! Josie, go with Shoo.
.
.
Hannah, come with me.
Are you sure about this, Ellie? Why do I always get hit? Do I look like a bleeding punch bag? She lost it, yeah? But so did we, Shoo.
I was only trying to help.
Not exactly successful, eh? If we get Sadie's cash, there's no way I'm staying round here.
Don't talk crap.
Should've left when I said before, when we still had our share of three million.
Look at it - it's peeing it down! Ain't nothing turned out like Ellie told us and then she hits me! Well, it's her should be hit.
Are you Nathan Donovan? Yeah, why? I want to talk to your girlfriend, Shanice Coggan? Yeah, she No, she's, er, not here.
Well, where is she then? She went to prison.
I know where she was, loverboy.
Aagh! What I want to know is where she is now.
Bingo! Thank you, God! It's still Sadie's money.
We'll have to pay it back.
Of course.
Right, we need to cut up some newspaper this size.
We don't need it all, Ellie, just enough to get the business started.
We're owed it.
She'll get the hotel back when we leave anyway.
We'll just stuff the newspaper back in here, stitch this back into the mattress and leave it just like we found it.
Ellie, what if Sadie finds out? She won't.
She's gonna sleep on top of it till she carks it! Old people can't spend 50p without having a bleeding heart attack! As you can see, it's a very spacious apartment.
And if you get lonely in the Jacuzzi, you've always got shared use of the indoor heated swimming pool and spa.
Mmm.
Very nice.
Lovely.
Hey, get yourself into town, buy a computer and a stock of spirits from the cash and carry.
We want our cut So we can leg it.
This money's for keeping us going till we sort our passports out.
End of.
This is end of.
Me and Josie's going on our own.
Is that right, Josie? What's the point, Ellie? Living here - it's not exactly what we had planned, is it? Never mind what happened with Shoo.
It's everyone for themselves now.
Hannah? What is there to keep us together, Ellie? Shoo, you can go back on the game, can't you? Be just like old times.
Well, you should blame yourself if I flaming do.
And Josie, what're you going back to? Oh, yeah, that loving Christian family who put you in a nuthouse? Hannah, you're going home to that husband you loved so much you stuck a knife in him? He would have killed me.
Bet he can still throw a few good punches from his wheelchair, eh? There's 50 grand each.
Take itand go to hell! You just bear in mind, there's a murdering psycho in jail who'll be after us, whatever, together or alone.
Come on, let's blag it to the Costa del Sol.
At least it's warm there.
What about you, Hans? Josie, Ellie's right.
What did we have before we found each other? Jim Temple? Detective Sergeant McTear.
I'm making some enquires into your ex-wife, Hannah Temple.
It's you and me now, Jose.
We'll show 'em how to get to The Dream.
But how will we go anywhere without passports? Like loads of illegals, yeah? Just go to wherever the nearest sea is round here give some fisher bloke a bung, and get him to take us to Spain on his boat.
What, just like that? Or we can hold him up.
Whatever, come on, just let's go! Look, we need to think this through.
You mean stay around here? I dunno.
You know maybe we owe it to Ells and Hans? We can't just walk out on them now.
Well, I can.
You just do what you want, right? Because I'm out of here.
No, Shoo.
Get off me! I've had it with the lot of you! I'm staying.
I don't blame them for wanting out.
They might as well.
Let's give it a go here, yeah? Just at least until we get our new passports? There's still a hope of us getting to Barbados.
All those nights in prison we spent dreaming about lying on the beach, drinking pina coladas.
It kept me going inside.
(We can't just let it die.
) Where's Shoo? She's gone.
She won't listen to me.
Well, she's not going to listen to me, is she? Well, itit's worth a try, innit? OK.
If I can't persuade her I'll shove her in a sack if I have to! Tight-fistedScotch Where're you going? Away from this hell-hole, anyway.
I quit.
Whywhat for? Cos a bunch of bleedin' cows don't change their spots, yeah? What? I'm sick of being pushed around.
Here, why don't you come with me? I'm sorry, I can't just up and leave.
I mean, I've got my mum to look after.
I've got responsibilities.
Course.
Oh, come on, Shoo I mean, we only just met.
Yeah, about eight times this week.
Better off on my own, innit? Shoo.
Here, take this.
What's that stuff? White heather.
It's meant to be lucky.
I'm gonna miss you.
Yeah, whatever.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo, wait! Shoo, wait! She's like my sister, you know? We must've shared at least three cells over the years.
I don't know if I'll be able to sleep without her flippin' snoring.
She always was a pain, though maybe we're better off.
What? Oh, shut up, Hannah.
We're supposed to be a team.
Four women against the world.
I didn't want her to leave any more than you did, darling.
I'm just trying to be positive.
God knows one of us has got to be.
Yeah Look, let's not fall out, now.
I can't stand it.
Right, come on, we've got work to do.
Bills to pay The dream lives on, OK? Hannah's right.
We should be trying to make as much as we can out of this place.
Guest rooms, catering Can't be harder than cooking for 400 pissed-off prisoners, can it? I don't think frozen sausages and chips are going to cut it, somehow.
Good.
Well, at least it'll give me something to get my teeth into.
And the more we look legit, the more we keep Sadie at bay.
Well, if we're going to sort those passports, we'll need a computer.
I'll get you some money.
Excuse us, how long's the bus to Glasgow, mate? Two hours.
Can I have loan of your phone? Ta.
Yeah, a dozen of your Shiraz and your Chardonnay.
Great, first thing tomorrow morning? Right, we'll pay cash on delivery.
Cheers.
I'll ring round the local farms.
Set up deals on local food supplies.
You know what, Hans? Hannah.
I think this might just work.
Well, you can congratulate me.
I am about to become the owner of a brand new flat.
And it looks like something out of Footballers' Wives.
You're kidding, right? I've already signed.
Just popped back to fetch the deposit.
You should have seen his face when I said it was cash! I'm going to have a bleeding heart attack here.
Sadieyou can't go.
You'll be glad to see the back of me and I'll be glad to see the back of you, all of you, whoever you are.
Well, what was said this morning, that's just how we are together.
Yeah, we're always slagging each other off.
It's a sign of affection.
Yeah, we never meant you to move out.
Really! I want to, though.
You were right, Hannah, it'll do me good to get out of here.
Let's have a drink.
Oh, come on, tell us all about it.
And you'll be happy to know Shoo's left us.
It's not going to make much difference to me, is it? You want to see what this little baby can do.
It's like Barbados in a box.
Sadie's back.
She's looking for her money to buy a new flat, so we've got to get her plastered and fast.
What? Tanking her up? She's half cut by five o'clock most days anyway.
We're just bringing it forward three hours.
Yeah, but.
.
Look, if we don't do this, she'll go upstairs and discover we've nicked her nest egg.
Yeah, but we can't keep her drunk, like, forever.
Look, just stash that somewhere, will you? I can't wait! See? And there's the bedroom.
Isn't that grand?! Hello? Hi, Nathan Who's that? Babes, it's me.
Shoo? Yeah and you'll never guess what You'll never believe what I've got, right, 50 grand! Nate? Nate? Where are you? Well, I'm headed for Glasgow, wherever that is.
But I'm gonna jump the next train to London.
No.
No You stay right there and I'll come pick you up.
It's Scotland, though, babe! Yeah, well, we'll make a holiday out of it.
Celebrate you getting out, right? Justbook a Travel Lodge and phone us where.
Then hold tight till I get there.
I love you, Nathan.
CHAMPAGNE CORK POPS Are you sure you won't miss all of this, though? I mean, it's a big change for someone your age.
No, no.
I'll be gassed if you're not careful.
Good on you, Sadie.
Please don't go, Sadie.
I like having you around.
Ah, well, you can come and visit.
Oh, Josie It's only got a Jacuzzi! (Are you trying to kill her? Trust me!) Hear that, girls? A Jacuzzi no less! Sounds fantastic.
Here's to many a happy soak in that, eh? Jacuzzis! Do you have a disposable camera, please? Did I tell youit's 's'gotta chacuzzi? Yeah, yeah.
Top notch.
There we go.
Night, night.
Sorry, Sadie.
Needs must.
Hi, can I help you? IN SCOTTISH ACCENT: Mr Patterson? Do you want to register? Sorry you didn't have this woman put an offer on a flat today, did you? Miss Cairncross? She, erlooked a little different this morning.
She's my mother.
Yes? So? Six days out of seven she looks like this.
On the other day she combs her hair, puts on a nice coat and pretends she has money to buy things like luxury flats.
What's wrong with her? She's got a syndrome.
Syndrome? Aye, it involves getting through three bottles of vodka a day.
I suppose she told you she was a cash buyer? I mean, how ludicrous is that? Like she keeps two hundred grand under her pillow? So, Gil's agreed.
Mum can move in.
Well, some progress at last.
Well, I haven't actually prised her out the hotel yet.
God knows how I'm going to do that.
You know what your problem is, Ann Marie? You're too calculating.
Did you ever think of asking her nicely? You don't know my mother.
TELEPHONE RINGS Euan Harries? Oh, Sadie! Oh, that's excellent news, Sadie.
Yeah, I'll pop round after work, OK? All right, bye.
It's your mother.
Apparently, she's now the owner of a brand new luxury pad.
What?! Problem solved, I think.
That's my inheritance she's chucking away! Well, you'll just have to wait until she's popped her clogs, I'm afraid.
Oh, and since this all happened without your intervention, I can't see that I'm under any obligation to make that extra payment to you.
I'm sorry.
Oh, Nate! You babe! SHOO GIGGLES AND SHRIEKS Jeez this ain't no Travel Lodge, Shoo.
Nah, but I can afford it now, can't I? D'you think I done good? I think you done awesome.
But how? You really got 50 grand? Yeah.
Can I see it? Maybe later, eh? So what are you doing in Scotland? I dunno, really.
I just got on a train, ended up with a bar job in some crummy hotel in some village, you know, I thought like I'd try and go straight, but, but they treated me like crap, Nate, so so I waited my chance to get in the safe and I legged it.
Don't that mean they'll have the cops after you? No, cos they was all on the fiddle themselves.
Can you believe it? It's like a dream me and you back together? You're not with that Vicky no more, then? You just don't know how much I've been missing you, Shoo.
State of the art, this.
It should be at this price.
TELEPHONE RINGS Hello? Yeah? Who? Oh! Oh, the estate agent Ah, Mr Patterson.
Yes.
Mrs Cairncross I'm sorry, I was just having a wee nap.
Problems? Well, what problems? What do you mean "better offer"? It was a fixed price and I offered you cash.
My daughter? What's the? What's up, Sadie? I've been gazumped! Oh, no! Just when I'd got myself all geared up to move! Oh, that's terrible.
He said it had something to do with my daughter? Ann Marie? Mum! What's all this rubbish about you buying a flat? So you do know about it? And you've just gone and ruined it for me! You mean you haven't bought it? No.
Thanks to you.
I've a good mind to put the police on to you.
Maybe it's for the best, yeah? It was probably a bit flash for you.
Mum, I have NO idea what you're talking about but I'm not having you moving into a flat or anywhere else, but in with Gil and I.
You don't want to up sticks and move to Edinburgh, turn your back on all your memories here? Excuse me but I think I know what's best for my own mother! You can't even see she doesn't want to move in with you? Look, we've all been under a bit of a strain lately, but you're welcome to stay as long as you like, Sadie.
Are you serious? No, she's not serious.
We're not the ones after your money.
I really think that we can make a go of The Hope Springs Hotel.
I don't get this.
You know Euan would give you a good price for the place if you named it.
I can see right through you, Ann Marie.
Euan can double the price.
We're not going anywhere.
This is our home.
And it's your home too.
I was going to do this earlier, but I think I should give you your money back to help with the fire damage.
Absolutely not! No way, Sadie.
That's your nest egg! And we want you to keep it totally safe, wherever it is.
You've screwed up, Ann Marie.
These women, they've got a hold over her.
I don't understand it.
Well, they seem to enjoy getting in my way.
Well, maybe they can sense you're desperate.
You are the best, babes.
You know there ain't no-one else for me.
I brought you a treat.
Oh, leave it out, Nate.
I've been clean for nearly two years.
Come on, I want to get high with you.
It'll be likeour reunion, yeah? Let's have another bottle of champagne, then, eh? Not with that stuff.
Anything's cool with me, babe .
.
now that I've got you back.
She's stealing my own mother from me.
Oh, give it a rest, Ann Marie.
With the money they paid her, she could still give us the deposit for our house.
Our house! You should never have made an offer and I never wanted your Mum's money, so leave it, eh? Let's face it.
The busier she's kept serving folk, the less time she'll have to drink herself to death.
Take Ann Marie over a drink, Sadie.
I think you two need to make up, huh? I'm not one to bear a grudge.
If she wants a truce It's ME that needs made up to, mind.
Can I have a pint of lager, please? Coming up.
Apologies for Ann Marie earlier.
She is a bit hyper with everything.
.
Oh, don't be daft It's understandable.
I've been on your case today, McKenzie.
My case? Yours, your brother's.
For all I know it's the same thing.
I don't know where Billy is.
And if I did, I'd tell him to never come back here.
Cos he's going to get jailed for something he didn't do.
I don't think you'll get much out of him.
You think he's covering up? He doesn't know anything.
It's obvious.
The kid wears his heart on a bloody great neon sign.
Well, you're the only person around here that thinks that .
.
apart from me.
MUFFLED RUSTLING NOISE GETS LOUDER MOBILE PHONE BUZZES Hey, babe.
Sorted.
Yeah, I got it.
Yeah.
I'm on my way back All her prison pals have disappeared with her.
And no-one seems to know where.
Bull! One of them must have said something to someone.
I'll pick up a trail somehow Yeah? You'd better.
I'm gonna need someone to smack if it ain't my wife.
That's the last of 'em.
Look at this our new screensaver.
I wish Shoo could be here to see it.
I thought you were supposed to be using that to get us new passports.
There's nothing wrong with reminding us why we're doing all this, though? Another bleeding day like today and we'll not see the end of the garden path, never mind Barbados.
Who knows? Maybe Shoo'll get there first - invite us to join her? You go on up to bed, Ellie All of you! I'll lock up here.
No, Sadie, not after last time.
If I'm staying on, like you all want, I intend to make myself useful.
So, come on, chop chop! Unless you're fibbing and you'd rather I bought that flat? Night! Night-night.
WOOD RATTLES RATTLING CONTINUES OUTER DOOR CREAKS OPEN FOOTSTEPS APPROACH DOOR KNOB SQUEAKS, DOOR CREAKS OPEN Stop! Thief! Aaargh! Aaargh! What you trying to do, cut my head off?! It's me, you daft old bat! Well! Look what the cat's dragged in! Shoo What on earth's happening? Shoo! Josie.
Where the bloody hell've you been? Well, I was gonna go back to London but then I changed my mind.
Cos, like, I missed my best mates.
What's happened to your eye? Went and fell down pissed, innit?! Well, I'm pooped myself.
I'll say good night to you all.
Sadie I didn't mean to be a cow.
There's worse than you out there, yeah? And there was me thinking I was special.
Eh, I hope you've still got your share of the kitty! Yes, I have, actually, Hannah(!) Well, most of it, anyways.
I had to cheer myself up a bit.
TELEPHONE RINGS Who's that? It's Nathan Donovan.
You came to see me about my ex You better never run out on us again, Shoo.
No, look, honest, I promise, right? I know what a stupid cow I've been and I feel really bad.
Good.
Honestly, Ells, I'm dead sorry.
Well, I'm sure I can think of a lot of horrible jobs you can do to help ease your conscience.
Let's just drink to being back together and on track again, yeah? Now we've got a computer to help get us some passports, and a business to make us some dosh! Barbados, here we come.
ALL: Barbados, here we come! I'm just being nosey about YOUR family, Ellie.
Haven't got any dark secrets, have you? There's two Gs in there and two more after.
Now, what do you know? Plenty.
Ellie Williams is a total fraud.
