I just can't.
~ Dad! ~ I can't.
~ OK, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll go and speak to the sales manager, cos I don't want to see this boy in tears, I really don't.
Mini Cooper.
I need you to come and play bad cop.
Where have you reached with 'em? Mum and son desperately want it and Dad's adamant he's not going to go over five grand, but trust me, if he ever wants shagging again, ~ he'll buy this motor.

But something happened, right? Customs appeared and they marched her off in an office.
They must know, Jimmy.
~ Not necessarily.
~ Well, why would they stop her, then?! ~ Look Until we know for definite, let's assume she's all right.
They might've just asked questions.
Why would they stop her getting on a flight?! ~ Why would they do that? Why? ~ I don't know! Let me talk to some people, see what I can find out.
If she'd been done, there'd be news, right? Just stick with it.

I can't harass the woman, can I? ~ I can't admit to stealing her mobile.
~ No.
~ What do you know about her? ~ Marianne? ~ Mm.
~ Nah, not a lot.
Her records say she's married, but I've never heard her talk about him.
Hang on a second.
Has he got his tongue pierced? I don't know.
Why? That Christmas party, he came to pick her up, yeah.
I got him a drink and then he starts banging on about cunnilingus.
Heightens the pleasure, apparently.
So, I reckon she's probably still with him.
SHE GIGGLES Beth, Dave hasn't run off with her, so you can rule out a serious relationship.
Can I? Oh, I don't know.
There's just something about her, something I don't trust! ~ She's got a shifty face! ~ I know.
For a woman getting that much action, you'd think she'd look a lot happier.
SHE LAUGHS ~ Shit! ~ What? ~ What? ~ Alison.
~ When did she get back? ~ A week ago.
~ I was going to tell you.
~ It's fine.
~ No, no, it's not fine.

They'll be expecting her home! What am I going to say? ~ What am I going to tell 'em, Jimmy? ~ I don't know.

And the men Well, it's a good job you never came with us, otherwise you'd be thinking twice about marrying Jez.
How I'm going to get through today, I'll never know.
Well, you'd better get some sleep, I don't want you wussing out on my hen night.
Where's Viv? Ill? She has a week's holiday and then she comes back ill? Some kind of food poisoning.
Must've been a dodgy kebab.
Dodgy kebab? I have been on wild holidays, you know, Tracy.
I do know the drill.
~ Has she overdone it? ~ No, not really, no.
When can we expect her back, then? Don't know.

You got away with it.
~ You're home and dry.
~ How do you know? What if she talks? ~ What if she says I'm involved and tells them everything? ~ She won't.
I would, if I was stuck over there.
They'll be getting to her, won't they? In her face.
They'll want to know who gave them the drugs, where they were going, and they'll go on and on and on until they break her.
And she'll be scared and shitting herself.
She'll tell them because she has to to save herself, and then what? They'll come for us, Jimmy, that's what.

Wh! What about Viv, Jimmy? You can't just leave her out there! Not my problem.
Delete my number.
Maybe I'll make it your problem.
Maybe I'll tell her family exactly where they can find you.
That would be a really bad idea, Tracy.
~ She can get ten years! ~ She won't.
~ How do you know? ~ Because she was the decoy, right? The sacrifice.
~ She weren't carrying as much as the others.
~ What others? What? There were others.

This doesn't make any sense.
None of this makes any bloody sense.
No, it doesn't make any sense, and the last thing I need is a scandal on my doorstep.

So I left her.
I didn't think she would do this.
I mean, smuggling coke is It's crazy.

There has to be a plausible explanation.

All they can prove is Jimmy supplier, dealer, middleman in the whole thing.
We go and we tell them about Jimmy.
We tell 'em he forced you, tell 'em he forced Viv, tell them that this whole thing is his fault.
Robbie? Hmm.
OK, so we need to get our story straight.
Robbie - pen and paper.
~ What about all the stuff? ~ It goes back.
I don't want the money, Mum.
You're not getting it.
INAUDIBLE THROUGH GLASS Oh, my God! Who's seen this? Viv - arrested for smuggling drugs.
~ She's in the Dominican Republic prison.
~ Dominican.
~ Are you sure? ~ Ziggy was right.
~ It can't be true, ~ she wouldn't do that.
~ I thought she was in Ibiza.
~ Tracy said she was ill.
~ Where is Tracy? ~ She must have been in on it.
~ She wouldn't do this, neither would.
Been set-up.
She's swallowed 'em.
~ You wouldn't get me swallowing drugs.
~ No way.
It's only thing you wouldn't, you fat get! ~ Who are you calling a "fat get"? ~ I'm calling you a fat get! UPROAR MIKE: SHUT IT! We don't know the circumstances, we do not know the reasons so, let's hold the speculation, yeah? Me and Mike have spoken to her parents, and they are distraught, as you can imagine.
~ So's Tracy.
~ She was in on it.
MIKE: We don't know anything.
Until we do, let's get back to work.
She wouldn't do this.
People have secrets.
Do things they live to regret.
And I wouldn't mind but I gave her ten euros I'd left from Crete, and all the time she's Pablo Escobar.
They're going to bang me up, aren't they? I know they will.
Come on, you've got to stay strong.
Miss Shawcross, could you come with me, please? Tracy, this is Dotun Aziz from the Serious Organised Crime Unit.
~ Tracy.
~ Hello.
As I'm sure you know, Tracy, drug smuggling carries a sentence up to 15 years in prison.
It's only through sheer luck that you're not sitting with your friend in the Dominican Republic.
Or lying in some hospital with a burst bag inside you.
But the point is - you're not.
You're sitting here and you came of your own volition, which we appreciate.
Now, at this moment, there's insufficient evidence to charge you with any offence.
However, should further evidence come to light in the future, you will be rearrested.
Also, we're going to be using the information you've given us today to set up a surveillance operation on Jimmy Carlton.
And if he's arrested and taken to court, then the evidence you've given today will be called upon.
Do you understand? Now, you will be prosecuted if you refuse to testify.
~ Is that clear? ~ What about Viv? Can you help her? Can you bring her home? I'm afraid she's out of our hands.
If she cooperates, she might get a reduced sentence, serve time back home, but their system's notoriously slow, so don't hold your breath.
DOOR OPENS SHE SNIFFLES DOOR CLOSES We want to help.
It's for your flights, for Viv's lawyer.
You can't afford this.
It's from savings.
I know you've been off work, and things have been hard.
We're not destitute.
When Viv's case goes to court, there'll be fees and you'll be expected to pay it.
We'll manage.
It could run to thousands.
We don't need charity.
~ It's not charity.
~ We CAN'T accept it.
(Yes, we can.
) John We accept it.
You'd do the same for us.
I've lied to you, Bev.
A lot of things I've told you have been lies.
Any big plans for the weekend, Kathy? No, let me guess - sex party? You don't half talk some rubbish, Rick.
So, Strictly and a slow slide towards deathbed, is it, yeah? 'I'm not looking for love, I'm not looking for complications.
' My marriage is over and I want to leave it, but I can't.
Her situation's even more complicated than mine.
I never knew what true happiness was till I got married - then it was too late.
Niall, it's Kathy - tomorrow.
~ 'He's the father of my kids.
' ~ I've discovered something.
~ According to records, ~ the number was registered to a Marianne Morton.
~ Marianne Morton? A friend of my brother's, calls himself DJ Strange Waves.
He's my passport out this place.
OK, if you'd like to take a seat, there are teas, coffees and juices for the children.
Our sales advisor will be with you very shortly, OK? Er, important e-mail about next week.
~ Viv's just sent it.
~ What is it? ~ Check your e-mail.
LAUGHTER VIV: Whoa! BOTH: We're going to Ibiza! Whoa! Well, I hope you save some energy for my hen night, it's like two days ~ after you get back.

Ooh, er It's too late.
It's already been booked.

~ What are the kids' names? ~ Er, Sophie and George.
George! Sophie! I've heard you two want to buy a car.
I'm looking at you, pal, I reckon you want Beemer, yeah? ~ What the hell was that? ~ You're not one of the girls any more, Marianne.
You're management.
You want to start behaving like it.
I thought we'd sorted all this.
If you've got an accusation to make about me and Dave, then I suggest you just make it.
Or, better still, let's take it to Mike.
You say the calls are work calls, nothing more.
At weekends? Two in the morning? Five times a night? ~ He was my manager! ~ Fine! ~ We were under a lot of pressure.
~ Yeah(!) ~ You don't believe me? ~ No, I don't.

Get ready together, drinks, music, whatever Then head down to the restaurant in three taxis.
Erm, before food we'll do presents and speeches, because I know there will be some, there always is.
But if anybody's bought me a chocolate cock - that's so unoriginal.
Erm, I'll allow L-plates and tiaras, but I draw the line at penis confectionery.
Tracy? TRACY? LAUGHTER AND CHATTER ~ Drink it! ~ I can't.
OK.
Emma, don't sleep with the stripper, yeah? LAUGHTER I've had one already! I've had one already.

Text me photos.
SHE CHUCKLES Do me a favour, if you get pissed, don't confront Marianne.
I can be trusted with a drink inside me, you know.
~ That's good, I couldn't.
~ No, it's Emma's big night, I don't want to ruin anything.
You sure you don't want me to say anything to her? No, Mike, honestly.
It's between me and her.
~ (But thanks anyway.
) ~ (Well, have a good night.
) Not too good, though.
Eh, and erm (don't forget to send me some of 'em) Stop it.

Big house and nice clothes.

I mean, you look at them girls, like Charlotte and Abigail and they're not even that good-looking.
Not really.
Not more than any of us.
They just got lucky.
They got lucky.
Tracy, did you know? No.
No, I swear.
SHE EXHALES DOOR OPENS Tracy, what is it, love? Hold me, Mum.
Please.
~ SOBS ~ Please.
~ Shh.
~ TRACY SOBS Sh.
I don't bloody believe it! Why did you do it?! How could you be so stupid? ~ Do you want to end up in prison? ~ You're not going to prison.
~ I can't live with it.
~ You're not going to prison.
I can't live with it.
I can't get her out my mind, and what she must be going through.
I'd rather I'd rather be in prison ~ than deal with this.
~ You're not going! And I am being selfish because I love you.
But I am not losing me daughter.
I can't do it, Tracy.
I won't do it.
So, what are we going to do? OK, so say .
.
say we go to the police .
.
then you tell them that you carried drugs.
They can't prove it.
You've admitted it, but they can't prove it.
All they can prove is Jimmy supplier, dealer, middleman in the whole thing.
We go and we tell them about Jimmy.
We tell 'em he forced you, tell 'em he forced Viv, tell them that this whole thing is his fault.
Robbie? Hmm.
OK, so we need to get our story straight.
Robbie - pen and paper.
~ What about all the stuff? ~ It goes back.
I don't want the money, Mum.
You're not getting it.
INAUDIBLE THROUGH GLASS Oh, my God! Who's seen this? Viv - arrested for smuggling drugs.
~ She's in the Dominican Republic prison.
~ Dominican.
~ Are you sure? ~ Ziggy was right.
~ It can't be true, ~ she wouldn't do that.
~ I thought she was in Ibiza.
~ Tracy said she was ill.
~ Where is Tracy? ~ She must have been in on it.
~ She wouldn't do this, neither would.
Been set-up.
She's swallowed 'em.
~ You wouldn't get me swallowing drugs.
~ No way.
It's only thing you wouldn't, you fat get! ~ Who are you calling a "fat get"? ~ I'm calling you a fat get! UPROAR MIKE: SHUT IT! We don't know the circumstances, we do not know the reasons so, let's hold the speculation, yeah? Me and Mike have spoken to her parents, and they are distraught, as you can imagine.
~ So's Tracy.
~ She was in on it.
MIKE: We don't know anything.
Until we do, let's get back to work.
She wouldn't do this.
People have secrets.
Do things they live to regret.
And I wouldn't mind but I gave her ten euros I'd left from Crete, and all the time she's Pablo Escobar.
They're going to bang me up, aren't they? I know they will.
Come on, you've got to stay strong.
Miss Shawcross, could you come with me, please? Tracy, this is Dotun Aziz from the Serious Organised Crime Unit.
~ Tracy.
~ Hello.
As I'm sure you know, Tracy, drug smuggling carries a sentence up to 15 years in prison.
It's only through sheer luck that you're not sitting with your friend in the Dominican Republic.
Or lying in some hospital with a burst bag inside you.
But the point is - you're not.
You're sitting here and you came of your own volition, which we appreciate.
Now, at this moment, there's insufficient evidence to charge you with any offence.
However, should further evidence come to light in the future, you will be rearrested.
Also, we're going to be using the information you've given us today to set up a surveillance operation on Jimmy Carlton.
And if he's arrested and taken to court, then the evidence you've given today will be called upon.
Do you understand? Now, you will be prosecuted if you refuse to testify.
~ Is that clear? ~ What about Viv? Can you help her? Can you bring her home? I'm afraid she's out of our hands.
If she cooperates, she might get a reduced sentence, serve time back home, but their system's notoriously slow, so don't hold your breath.
DOOR OPENS SHE SNIFFLES DOOR CLOSES We want to help.
It's for your flights, for Viv's lawyer.
You can't afford this.
It's from savings.
I know you've been off work, and things have been hard.
We're not destitute.
When Viv's case goes to court, there'll be fees and you'll be expected to pay it.
We'll manage.
It could run to thousands.
We don't need charity.
~ It's not charity.
~ We CAN'T accept it.
(Yes, we can.
) John We accept it.
You'd do the same for us.
I've lied to you, Bev.
A lot of things I've told you have been lies.
Any big plans for the weekend, Kathy? No, let me guess - sex party? You don't half talk some rubbish, Rick.
So, Strictly and a slow slide towards deathbed, is it, yeah? 'I'm not looking for love, I'm not looking for complications.
' My marriage is over and I want to leave it, but I can't.
Her situation's even more complicated than mine.
I never knew what true happiness was till I got married - then it was too late.
Niall, it's Kathy - tomorrow.
