1 Argh.
It's all right.
It's all right.
Where were you? Be a while yet.
I'll take that down.
This you? How long do I have to stay in the vicinity? Till we tell you otherwise.
And where we can easily find you, please.
And who's gonna protect me and my wife about what happens next? Eh? What do we do about that? Who do we call then? We're searching for a 13-year-old girl, Mr Melanzana.
That's our priority.
- Jody.
- Yeah.
Asked and answered, then, yeah? - Where's your dad? - Shower.
- Some toast, Claire.
- No, thanks.
Not for me.
- What time did he get back? - Don't know.
We need to get going.
Can you hurry him along? He'll be ready when we need to go.
Any news today, Helen? Anyone caught sight of Nelly? Not as yet, no.
I spoke to my SIO a few minutes ago.
Have you heard something? - No.
- No.
We need to do something about Dom, BJ.
He's an idiot.
He's not, though.
He's fine.
You look fantastic.
Isn't she, Helen? Mm.
- Is it too much? - Not at all - Jody loves it, and - I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to She begs me for it every time I wear it.
No, don't be sorry I'm glad you said.
He'd have me out there getting it all wrong.
What did I do? They said to look like it's everyday, not dressed up or anything.
I can't get it off.
- Just take it up when you go.
- All right.
- We're going in half an hour.
- Just gonna grab my shoes.
- Cheap medicine.
- What's that? Something my mum says about laughing when you're not supposed to.
When you can't.
I Talks a lot of shit, doesn't she? Yeah.
I'm getting nothing done here.
Here.
Let me.
I need to get on.
You could risk a shower.
Oh, shit, Tammy.
I get ripe quick and nasty, Tammy.
I always have.
She said it was all right? Definitely? Stace said that I can stay at hers? I said the couch was pissing off my sciatica and you were pissing me off.
- Keep calling me Tammy.
- Oh, shit! Did I do it again? When? Arms up.
I'm sorry, mate.
When did they pick up Melon? Same night you got your kicking.
Finger.
And he ain't said what they asked him about me? Haven't seen him since.
They come after you? Check you about me? Is it that bad? Christ! I can't smell it.
So, erm, you've got it from here? Yeah.
No, no.
Yeah, I got 'em.
- Shit the dog! - Let me.
I can just wash myself around them.
If I ain't told you before and I shoulda done - all you've done for me - It's nothing.
It's fucking not.
It's not.
Cos most would have known better and left me where I lay.
Still trying to figure out why you've done different.
- Look.
Here.
- I'm You know, I'm grateful and all that.
- So, anyway, there you go.
- Yeah.
Geezer called Charles Osborne had hiccups for nearly 69 years.
Good boy.
We're only up to five days but, dunno, I fancy our chances.
I got faith.
69 years is a stretch.
Ain't gonna break that.
But we just wanna see how far we can get.
Don't we, Gillie? You all right? Need more painkillers? What were you on about telling me? Oh, yeah.
Thin blue have had Melon in.
Heard that.
They come anywhere near you? Questioned, but they didn't have me in to do it.
- But it was your girl.
- What was? Officer that pinched Melon.
Same one who's on your kiddie's case.
He's been dust since.
No-one's seen him.
No-one has? And who said it was O'Halloran? She should be out finding Jody.
Towers seen her.
She didn't even let him finish his chips.
Bit out of order.
All right, Nelly! I'm gonna find her.
But they're on me, Goz.
Tracing my phone and that.
Showed me as much when I was sat opposite.
So, I don't know.
I may need some help from you.
- Daiz tries to feed Gill - Oi! a backwards glass of water, so - Yeah, name it.
- Oi! They left these! Oh, no.
No, no, no! Fuck! The Old Bill don't even want 'em! And that's the last of your shit! We're done! Done! I'll see you later, Goz.
Yeah.
I'll bell you if I need you.
Yeah? - Yeah? - Yeah.
See you later.
Fuck! - There you go, babe.
- Thank you.
What are you doing? Dylan? Day Seven.
It's a big day, very big day today.
You should see what's going on here, Jode.
You're, like, all over everywhere.
The Barrys are like you said they'd be.
Eating themselves, arseholes first.
But Your mum's worse, though.
She's It's not like you said it'd be.
You said a week, and then you'd be back.
Morning, Dylan.
Your dad know you're with us? He said it's OK? Same as any of us, eh, Dylan? Lost without her.
Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats, please.
The press conference is about to begin.
Thank you all for coming.
We appreciate your time.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank them for the understanding and support given to our already widespread investigation featuring officers from several boroughs around London.
Jody's mum, Claire McGory, would like to now say a few words for you.
To know Jody is to know that her smile fills her whole face.
You OK? Just say if you need to leave.
I'm sure we can all appreciate what Mrs McGory is going through.
Thursday 16th February, Jody McGory left Deptford Library.
She got into a silver Ford Focus, which we believe was stolen from Norwood a day earlier.
The identity of the driver and the whereabouts of this vehicle are at present not known to us.
We will of course keep you up to date with any - Yeah.
- And it sounds like - they're all there now, so - Yeah, cheers.
would urge anyone with any information to please come forward.
Oh, my God! - Get out of the road! - I'm fucking crossing the road! The family won't be taking any questions today, but Mr McGory Jody's stepfather, would like to would like to issue a brief statement on their behalf.
Our daughter has been taken from us.
We deeply appreciate the tireless efforts of DCI Thorpe and his team We're very lucky to have them helping us through this.
But our daughter has been taken from us and someone knows.
Someone watching right now knows where she is and who has taken her.
You haven't come forward for whatever reason.
Maybe he's your husband, brother, son.
Someone close to you.
It doesn't matter.
Myself and Claire and our family we don't care why, we just want Jody to come home.
So, I'm offering £50,000.
- F How? - Shit.
£50,000 to anyone with information leading to the safe return of our daughter and for the apprehension of those responsible.
It wasn't meant as a reflection on the job you or your officers are doing.
I just couldn't sit on my hands for another week.
Then another? How's it gonna hurt? You could have mentioned, allowed us the opportunity to counsel you.
A substantial reward can help.
It can also really bloody hinder.
looking for me all over the place.
Tell 'em I'm here.
That's all you have to do.
Just Hey! Nobody told me this was happening.
- Where have you been? - Where have I been? The police have been looking for you.
- Said you'd been beaten up.
- 50 grand! Where are you going? Not now, Nelly! He's filming me.
Why are you fucking filming me? Where are you going? Where are you? Oi! Stop fucking filming me, yeah? Nelly? Let's come back here and talk.
I'm not outside of this, all right? Don't fucking walk away like I'm outside of it! - When's her birthday? - What? What did you say to me? - What's Jody's date of birth? - Barry, don't! Huh? What's her favourite colour? Piss off! At seven, couldn't sleep with the lights off.
What was it scared her, Nelly? - It's not the place, Dad.
- What was it? You're outside of this.
You've never been anything other.
- Barry, that's enough.
- So, go away - and leave us alone, please.
- Stop it! Let's go, Barry, please.
Please.
Let's go.
It's still me she's called, though.
What? Whatever the fuck you're on about it's me she's called since.
Where is she? What did she say? I'd have been here sooner to say so but I've been laid up.
What? Have they not told you? Because they've been seeing my calls in and out.
It's why they've been looking for me.
- Is she hurt? - She called me because I am not outside of this! - What did she say? - Neither is that Barry - you married, either.
- Please.
- You got my number? - Piss off! You got my phone number? It's the same one All right! It's the same one I've always had.
- Nelly! - He's talking bollocks.
Lying.
Claire, please can we go through? - Is this about you? - He's full of shit.
You tell me all the fucking time he's a liar and he's full of shit.
Said as much to the police.
- This isn't about Nelly.
- He is lying, somehow.
Through his teeth, lying.
Wants us chasing our tails.
He isn't lying.
She called him.
Shola said as much.
I just wanna know what Jody said.
She rang off before I could answer.
It's voicemail every single time I call back.
You lot can see this, so why are you asking? Why didn't you leave a message? - I just didn't.
- From what you said, sounds like you know more than you're letting on.
Don't know where you got that from.
Why did Mark Betts jump up and down on you like that? Been told it was Marky? Something you did to his mum? How many cases do you work at a time? Meaning? You got any other business distracting you from finding my kid? The search for Jody is the only case I'm working on.
Really? Then what's my mate Melon got to do with that? He ain't been seen since, so what did you do to scare him away? I cannot and will not discuss an ongoing investigation.
Oh, fuck me! Was it Marky Betts who attacked you, Nelly? There was an article in the erm in The Standard.
It was you, or the other one, or one of you lot.
You're You're running through the things you do typical when a case like this comes up.
And close to the top is rounding up the nonces.
Giving 'em a shake.
Is Melon on a list like that? Is he? I can't imagine what this is like for you, Nelly.
- And thank you - Shit! for showing us that you trust us to do our job.
You came in today to tell us about Jody's calls.
That's as much as you can do.
That's as much as you're allowed to do for Jody.
Do not attempt to get involved in any other way.
Can I see that video message that Jody left, please? - Are you hearing me? - There's something niggling.
Just wanna see if I'm right.
- Right about what? - You showed it to me before.
Why are you getting all Secret Squirrel about it now? Nelly? She ain't called you lot.
Ain't called Claire or that Barry she married.
She called me.
And that ain't nothing.
Ha.
He didn't want me to leave without you saying yes first.
So I mean, you said no because because you knew you would.
But just I mean It's one week, Mum.
And then I'll be home.
I'll be back.
I'm leaving this just so you can hear me saying it.
I'm leaving this Don't worry about me, Mum.
Don't.
I'm - Hiya.
- Hello.
What? Dom! One of ours on every stall.
I've said it a million times.
We don't rely on the bands they're thieves.
One of ours, for our own count always, and at every bloody stall.
- OK.
- If it's beyond you It's not.
I'll make calls.
Question is, where's the 50 grand come from? He's mortgaged up to the brink, from what I remember.
Nowhere near capable of peeling off that much for a reward.
He's got friends.
Maybe a friend.
Go back through him forensically, please.
£50,000 has been pulled out of his arse and offered up without a mention.
Could be a generous friend.
If so, I'd like him to say so, and who.
And it's not that you think Barry McGory has offered that money knowing it'll never be claimed cos he knows Jody won't be found? You're a user.
You are.
You're a user, piss-head bastard.
You come round here, all, "Oh, I'm sorry, Teens.
I miss you, babes.
I love ya.
" I do miss you and I do love you, you know that.
- No, you don't! - You know I do.
No, you don't! You just want my car.
Just admit it.
Just say it.
Just the truth.
Just say the truth for once in your life.
You're making out like it's two and two, and it ain't.
Do I want your car? Yes.
I bloody need it because my kid's been had away and I'm trying to do anything I can about that.
Don't mean I ain't missing you or I I don't love ya.
That I ain't down on my knees sorry about what's gone on.
It's just that, right now, I need your fucking car.
So, free up the keys and stop pissing around because of I'm busy here, Teens! And I need to get on, so Marky's right.
You ain't worth it.
I could really do with your help, Dylan.
Can I beg that of you? Weird, going back over.
I thought I'd won.
Thought I'd done myself proud.
Didn't make her beg.
Signed Jody over to that Barry she married and well, he couldn't adopt her without me.
And I asked for nothing for doing it.
She never introduced me.
Claire.
She never said to Jody, "This is" blah, blah, or whoever.
To be honest, I thought nothing of it.
I just finished my pint and pissed off out of there like I'd won the day.
My dad's gonna be home soon.
Works late Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, but any time soon.
You said you were best mates.
I can see from the pictures outside that she's got mates.
I can see that she's got loads.
But you're the one closest to her, ain't you? Police don't know it was you that filmed that video message thing that she left for her mum.
They don't know and I won't tell 'em.
I promise.
It's just It's close to the beginning or whenever.
She just looks off to the side.
I mean, it looks like nothing, but it's It's been niggling.
And I reckon she was looking at you, weren't she? You knew where she was going before she went.
Yeah? Where did you take her after the library? It wasn't me in the library.
I weren't there.
Said that's where she should meet you.
That wasn't me.
Said you'd take her to see her other nan, for saltfish dumplings.
He said about saltfish dumps? What else did he say, Dylan? Eh? I'm sorry.
But I want to try and get her back.
Mate I'm way behind.
Bloody miles.
Way back behind myself and I need to catch up.
I need to know what he said to her, Dylan.
- What would you have suggested? - It wasn't like I planned it.
Go and talk to them.
Just say you got it wrong.
- Say it was - I won't do that.
a heat-of-the-moment thing.
Anything you have to do to take it back.
Keep it down.
I can't do that.
You're on TV, Dad.
They are going to see you up there.
What the fuck do you think happens now? - Keep it down.
- What, Dad? What the fuck do you think happens next? Look, enough, BJ.
All right? It's done.
I can't I don't need to explain myself to you.
Enough.
This is everything he wrote to her, is it? She'd come over here to speak to him.
Didn't want her mum knowing she was doing it.
Jesus, even where he's got me wrong, he's near enough! Look, here.
On about where I went to school.
He makes up the names of my mates, but he knows where and he knows when.
Listen to this, right? "Absence is to love what wind is to fire.
It extinguishes the small, it inflames the great.
" Well, that bollocks ain't me, anyone'll tell you that.
But so much loads, loads of the rest.
I mean, it's near enough inside fucking out! Where's your dad, really, Dylan? Stays with his girlfriend some nights.
What? Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays.
Leaves you on your tod? Here.
I'm pretty certain your dad wouldn't want you to let a grown man you don't know up to your bedroom quite as easily as you did me, Dylan.
If you give me your email, I'll get them to you.
I don't have an email.
Can I beg one last favour of you before I go? Yes.
Can you tell me how Jody will know it's really me if I call her? No, well, it was just Dylan was there, but it was just me and Claire and Dad.
No, he didn't tell the police didn't say anything.
I don't care what he's gotta prove.
Shithead should know better.
Yeah.
You remember that hide-and-seek we played that one time? Just seeing your mum's wardrobe reminded me.
I was on it and I found everyone except you.
You remember? I searched everywhere.
In the end, it was me and Tye looking cos it was close to an hour and you were bloody nowhere.
Never meant to be in here.
Your mum hated us being in here.
But we checked.
I mean, I did.
In that wardrobe, easily, three times.
In the end, you just give yourself up and came out.
- And where were ya? - In my mum's wardrobe.
Yeah.
You hung yourself in your mum's coat! It was genius.
You could have stayed there until today and we never would have found you.
Just don't make this weird.
I'm trying not to, Stace, I swear to God.
But the minute your mum finds out it's Tye's little coloured mate that's dribbling on her pillows tonight, she's gonna come back from beyond and have a go at me.
Well, you surprise me.
I love you for this, Stace.
I ain't bloody feeding ya, so don't expect it.
Those are with food.
Eggs are the best place to start, probably.
If I finish my eggs, will you let me have some ice cream? Where did he get the 50 grand from, BJ? - I don't know.
- Yes, you do.
You shouldn't ask me, you should ask him.
Should I ask him who knocked you out as well? I didn't see who that was.
I don't know.
I heard you arguing with your dad about the money.
If we had 50 grand to spare, I'd know about it.
So, where did he get it from? What has he done? Hello darling.
Hello.
I don't know who I should say I am to you.
I don't know who I who I've got the right to say.
Just Just "Nelly" probably best.
Yeah? Dylan said to say, erm, "Baby Bunting".
He said that's what you call him.
That you'd listen to me if I said that to you.
Almost everything you know about me, almost everything you've heard, it weren't me saying it so there you go.
This here, now.
This This hello, this is the first you're hearing from me.
And I ain't saying that like I'm proud or nothing.
It's just There you go.
Just wanted to say that.
And that who's got you ain't me.
I know you know that.
It's just that Just that it's got absolutely nothing to do with me.
And that, you know, I'm getting your calls and that, if you can I'm trying to get to you, Jody.
I am.
I'm trying.
I I No, I am I'm gonna.
I am doing my best, I promise.
So, just Just hang on.
Please.

What was it, Stace? What was it? I don't know what you're asking me.
Your dad was here.
When was that? That was, like, seven, eight months back? I know Melon was in, but I can't remember what we talked about.
Was that the night you and my dad nearly drank me dry? That was him.
I was just trying to keep up, but yeah.
You were leading from the front, as per! Now, there was me, your dad, Melon.
I was on about all sorts that night.
I just can't remember what.
Good boy.
You what? You what? - Who this? - I found her.
I found Gerry.
I followed her to her house.
She headed straight there after you spoke to her? Yeah, mate.
I weren't even halfway through my savvy.
Hang on.
Hang on, big 'un.
I'm sure I just caught sight of Bernie.
- I'm on my way.
- I ain't seen him, though.
- I ain't seen Melon.
- You saw one of 'em.
- That's enough.
I'm on my way.
- All right, mate.
Do me a favour, yeah, Goz? Text me the address and stay put.
Yeah, yeah.
Will do.
See ya.
What have you got Goz doing for you? I can see the head you've got on, Nells! What head's that? The one that couldn't give a shit what mess you make.
Move out of the way.
Never mind the bridges.
It's the village you're gonna burn.
Seen that head before.
And it weren't me made the mess, Stace.
Stace? I'm just trying to see what I can do about it.
- And all he said was that? - Yes.
Hang tough, or some shit.
And he said he was worried about you.
- Bernie, we need to go.
- Let him go, Bern.
- Stay here.
- Oh, don't start.
I came home to tell you, time to let him go.
And Kevin will let me stay now, will he? He will if Melon's not with you.
Go back to work now, yeah? - You must have enough by now.
- I swear to God.
Go back to work.
Piss off and leave us alone.
- He'll be the end of you! - Leave us alone! Can you not see that? He fucking will! - Why has Goz come after us? - I've no idea.
Who was that? Hello? Remembered Melon said your sister worked at that fancy chip shop.
I met her once.
When was that, eh? - What do you want, Nelly? - One thing.
Gill shouldn't be around this, Goz.
- Yeah? - Sure? I am.
And thanks for everything, yeah? Leave us alone.
It's nothing to do with us.
Need to ask Melon about that.
About why he ain't offered a single word of fucking condolence.
About how well he knows me.
As well as the nonce who took my kid.
Not him! He knows nothing about that.
He doesn't! Gonna need him to tell me that himself, Bernie.
Sorry, but I am.
He's gonna need to sit me down, show me what's what and prove it beyond a shadow.
Cos if not, yeah, if he doesn't do that, and sharpish, if he doesn't prove to me that he is not the one that took my fucking kid, things are gonna get a touch fucking chronic!
It's all right.
It's all right.
Where were you? Be a while yet.
I'll take that down.
This you? How long do I have to stay in the vicinity? Till we tell you otherwise.
And where we can easily find you, please.
And who's gonna protect me and my wife about what happens next? Eh? What do we do about that? Who do we call then? We're searching for a 13-year-old girl, Mr Melanzana.
That's our priority.
- Jody.
- Yeah.
Asked and answered, then, yeah? - Where's your dad? - Shower.

You're, like, all over everywhere.
The Barrys are like you said they'd be.
Eating themselves, arseholes first.
But Your mum's worse, though.
She's It's not like you said it'd be.
You said a week, and then you'd be back.
Morning, Dylan.
Your dad know you're with us? He said it's OK? Same as any of us, eh, Dylan? Lost without her.
Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats, please.
The press conference is about to begin.
Thank you all for coming.
We appreciate your time.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank them for the understanding and support given to our already widespread investigation featuring officers from several boroughs around London.
Jody's mum, Claire McGory, would like to now say a few words for you.
To know Jody is to know that her smile fills her whole face.
You OK? Just say if you need to leave.
I'm sure we can all appreciate what Mrs McGory is going through.
Thursday 16th February, Jody McGory left Deptford Library.
She got into a silver Ford Focus, which we believe was stolen from Norwood a day earlier.
The identity of the driver and the whereabouts of this vehicle are at present not known to us.
We will of course keep you up to date with any - Yeah.
- And it sounds like - they're all there now, so - Yeah, cheers.
would urge anyone with any information to please come forward.
Oh, my God! - Get out of the road! - I'm fucking crossing the road! The family won't be taking any questions today, but Mr McGory Jody's stepfather, would like to would like to issue a brief statement on their behalf.
Our daughter has been taken from us.
We deeply appreciate the tireless efforts of DCI Thorpe and his team We're very lucky to have them helping us through this.
But our daughter has been taken from us and someone knows.
Someone watching right now knows where she is and who has taken her.
You haven't come forward for whatever reason.
Maybe he's your husband, brother, son.
Someone close to you.
It doesn't matter.
Myself and Claire and our family we don't care why, we just want Jody to come home.
So, I'm offering £50,000.
- F How? - Shit.
£50,000 to anyone with information leading to the safe return of our daughter and for the apprehension of those responsible.
It wasn't meant as a reflection on the job you or your officers are doing.
I just couldn't sit on my hands for another week.
Then another? How's it gonna hurt? You could have mentioned, allowed us the opportunity to counsel you.
A substantial reward can help.
It can also really bloody hinder.
looking for me all over the place.
Tell 'em I'm here.
That's all you have to do.
Just Hey! Nobody told me this was happening.
- Where have you been? - Where have I been? The police have been looking for you.
- Said you'd been beaten up.
- 50 grand! Where are you going? Not now, Nelly! He's filming me.
Why are you fucking filming me? Where are you going? Where are you? Oi! Stop fucking filming me, yeah? Nelly? Let's come back here and talk.
I'm not outside of this, all right? Don't fucking walk away like I'm outside of it! - When's her birthday? - What? What did you say to me? - What's Jody's date of birth? - Barry, don't! Huh? What's her favourite colour? Piss off! At seven, couldn't sleep with the lights off.
What was it scared her, Nelly? - It's not the place, Dad.
- What was it? You're outside of this.
You've never been anything other.
- Barry, that's enough.
- So, go away - and leave us alone, please.
- Stop it! Let's go, Barry, please.
Please.
Let's go.
It's still me she's called, though.
What? Whatever the fuck you're on about it's me she's called since.
Where is she? What did she say? I'd have been here sooner to say so but I've been laid up.
What? Have they not told you? Because they've been seeing my calls in and out.
It's why they've been looking for me.
- Is she hurt? - She called me because I am not outside of this! - What did she say? - Neither is that Barry - you married, either.
- Please.
- You got my number? - Piss off! You got my phone number? It's the same one All right! It's the same one I've always had.
- Nelly! - He's talking bollocks.
Lying.
Claire, please can we go through? - Is this about you? - He's full of shit.
You tell me all the fucking time he's a liar and he's full of shit.
Said as much to the police.
- This isn't about Nelly.
- He is lying, somehow.
Through his teeth, lying.
Wants us chasing our tails.
He isn't lying.
She called him.
Shola said as much.
I just wanna know what Jody said.
She rang off before I could answer.
It's voicemail every single time I call back.
You lot can see this, so why are you asking? Why didn't you leave a message? - I just didn't.
- From what you said, sounds like you know more than you're letting on.
Don't know where you got that from.
Why did Mark Betts jump up and down on you like that? Been told it was Marky? Something you did to his mum? How many cases do you work at a time? Meaning? You got any other business distracting you from finding my kid? The search for Jody is the only case I'm working on.
Really? Then what's my mate Melon got to do with that? He ain't been seen since, so what did you do to scare him away? I cannot and will not discuss an ongoing investigation.
Oh, fuck me! Was it Marky Betts who attacked you, Nelly? There was an article in the erm in The Standard.
It was you, or the other one, or one of you lot.
You're You're running through the things you do typical when a case like this comes up.
And close to the top is rounding up the nonces.
Giving 'em a shake.
Is Melon on a list like that? Is he? I can't imagine what this is like for you, Nelly.
- And thank you - Shit! for showing us that you trust us to do our job.
You came in today to tell us about Jody's calls.
That's as much as you can do.
That's as much as you're allowed to do for Jody.
Do not attempt to get involved in any other way.
Can I see that video message that Jody left, please? - Are you hearing me? - There's something niggling.
Just wanna see if I'm right.
- Right about what? - You showed it to me before.
Why are you getting all Secret Squirrel about it now? Nelly? She ain't called you lot.
Ain't called Claire or that Barry she married.
She called me.
And that ain't nothing.
Ha.
He didn't want me to leave without you saying yes first.
So I mean, you said no because because you knew you would.
But just I mean It's one week, Mum.
And then I'll be home.
I'll be back.
I'm leaving this just so you can hear me saying it.
I'm leaving this Don't worry about me, Mum.
Don't.
I'm - Hiya.
- Hello.
What? Dom! One of ours on every stall.
I've said it a million times.
We don't rely on the bands they're thieves.
One of ours, for our own count always, and at every bloody stall.
- OK.
- If it's beyond you It's not.
I'll make calls.
Question is, where's the 50 grand come from? He's mortgaged up to the brink, from what I remember.
Nowhere near capable of peeling off that much for a reward.
He's got friends.
Maybe a friend.
Go back through him forensically, please.
£50,000 has been pulled out of his arse and offered up without a mention.
Could be a generous friend.
If so, I'd like him to say so, and who.
And it's not that you think Barry McGory has offered that money knowing it'll never be claimed cos he knows Jody won't be found? You're a user.
You are.
You're a user, piss-head bastard.
You come round here, all, "Oh, I'm sorry, Teens.
I miss you, babes.
I love ya.
" I do miss you and I do love you, you know that.
- No, you don't! - You know I do.
No, you don't! You just want my car.
Just admit it.
Just say it.
Just the truth.
Just say the truth for once in your life.
You're making out like it's two and two, and it ain't.
Do I want your car? Yes.
I bloody need it because my kid's been had away and I'm trying to do anything I can about that.
Don't mean I ain't missing you or I I don't love ya.
That I ain't down on my knees sorry about what's gone on.
It's just that, right now, I need your fucking car.
So, free up the keys and stop pissing around because of I'm busy here, Teens! And I need to get on, so Marky's right.
You ain't worth it.
I could really do with your help, Dylan.
Can I beg that of you? Weird, going back over.
I thought I'd won.
Thought I'd done myself proud.
Didn't make her beg.
Signed Jody over to that Barry she married and well, he couldn't adopt her without me.
And I asked for nothing for doing it.
She never introduced me.
Claire.
She never said to Jody, "This is" blah, blah, or whoever.
To be honest, I thought nothing of it.
I just finished my pint and pissed off out of there like I'd won the day.
My dad's gonna be home soon.
Works late Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, but any time soon.
You said you were best mates.
I can see from the pictures outside that she's got mates.
I can see that she's got loads.
But you're the one closest to her, ain't you? Police don't know it was you that filmed that video message thing that she left for her mum.
They don't know and I won't tell 'em.
I promise.
It's just It's close to the beginning or whenever.
She just looks off to the side.
I mean, it looks like nothing, but it's It's been niggling.
And I reckon she was looking at you, weren't she? You knew where she was going before she went.
Yeah? Where did you take her after the library? It wasn't me in the library.
I weren't there.
Said that's where she should meet you.
That wasn't me.
Said you'd take her to see her other nan, for saltfish dumplings.
He said about saltfish dumps? What else did he say, Dylan? Eh? I'm sorry.
But I want to try and get her back.
Mate I'm way behind.
Bloody miles.
Way back behind myself and I need to catch up.
I need to know what he said to her, Dylan.
- What would you have suggested? - It wasn't like I planned it.
Go and talk to them.
Just say you got it wrong.
- Say it was - I won't do that.
a heat-of-the-moment thing.
Anything you have to do to take it back.
Keep it down.
I can't do that.
You're on TV, Dad.
They are going to see you up there.
What the fuck do you think happens now? - Keep it down.
- What, Dad? What the fuck do you think happens next? Look, enough, BJ.
All right? It's done.
I can't I don't need to explain myself to you.
Enough.
This is everything he wrote to her, is it? She'd come over here to speak to him.
Didn't want her mum knowing she was doing it.
Jesus, even where he's got me wrong, he's near enough! Look, here.
On about where I went to school.
He makes up the names of my mates, but he knows where and he knows when.
Listen to this, right? "Absence is to love what wind is to fire.
It extinguishes the small, it inflames the great.
" Well, that bollocks ain't me, anyone'll tell you that.
But so much loads, loads of the rest.
I mean, it's near enough inside fucking out! Where's your dad, really, Dylan? Stays with his girlfriend some nights.
What? Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays.
Leaves you on your tod? Here.
I'm pretty certain your dad wouldn't want you to let a grown man you don't know up to your bedroom quite as easily as you did me, Dylan.
If you give me your email, I'll get them to you.
I don't have an email.
Can I beg one last favour of you before I go? Yes.
Can you tell me how Jody will know it's really me if I call her? No, well, it was just Dylan was there, but it was just me and Claire and Dad.
No, he didn't tell the police didn't say anything.
I don't care what he's gotta prove.
Shithead should know better.
Yeah.
You remember that hide-and-seek we played that one time? Just seeing your mum's wardrobe reminded me.
I was on it and I found everyone except you.
You remember? I searched everywhere.
In the end, it was me and Tye looking cos it was close to an hour and you were bloody nowhere.
Never meant to be in here.
Your mum hated us being in here.
But we checked.
I mean, I did.
In that wardrobe, easily, three times.
In the end, you just give yourself up and came out.
- And where were ya? - In my mum's wardrobe.
Yeah.
You hung yourself in your mum's coat! It was genius.
You could have stayed there until today and we never would have found you.
Just don't make this weird.
I'm trying not to, Stace, I swear to God.
But the minute your mum finds out it's Tye's little coloured mate that's dribbling on her pillows tonight, she's gonna come back from beyond and have a go at me.
Well, you surprise me.
I love you for this, Stace.
I ain't bloody feeding ya, so don't expect it.
Those are with food.
Eggs are the best place to start, probably.
If I finish my eggs, will you let me have some ice cream? Where did he get the 50 grand from, BJ? - I don't know.
- Yes, you do.
You shouldn't ask me, you should ask him.
Should I ask him who knocked you out as well? I didn't see who that was.
I don't know.
I heard you arguing with your dad about the money.
If we had 50 grand to spare, I'd know about it.
So, where did he get it from? What has he done? Hello darling.
Hello.
I don't know who I should say I am to you.
I don't know who I who I've got the right to say.
Just Just "Nelly" probably best.
Yeah? Dylan said to say, erm, "Baby Bunting".
He said that's what you call him.
That you'd listen to me if I said that to you.
Almost everything you know about me, almost everything you've heard, it weren't me saying it so there you go.
This here, now.
This This hello, this is the first you're hearing from me.
And I ain't saying that like I'm proud or nothing.
It's just There you go.
Just wanted to say that.
And that who's got you ain't me.
I know you know that.
It's just that Just that it's got absolutely nothing to do with me.
And that, you know, I'm getting your calls and that, if you can I'm trying to get to you, Jody.
I am.
I'm trying.
I I No, I am I'm gonna.
I am doing my best, I promise.
So, just Just hang on.
Please.
Hiya.
Erm, let's have some, er Two pickled eggs and a saveloy, please.
Sure.
You're, er You're Bernie's sister, ain't you? Sorry.
Are you not Gerry? - We're low on saveloys.
- OK.
No, I'm just worried about 'em.
All this stuff they're going through.
Just wondered if you'd seen 'em.
Her and Melon.
I don't know who you're on about.
Well, if you do If you see 'em, can you just send them my best.

" Yeah? Hang tough.
All right.
Cheers! Say bye-bye.
See ya.
- Bye.
- Bye.
You got it.
Sausage.
Saveloy.
What was it, Stace? What was it? I don't know what you're asking me.
Your dad was here.
When was that? That was, like, seven, eight months back? I know Melon was in, but I can't remember what we talked about.
Was that the night you and my dad nearly drank me dry? That was him.
I was just trying to keep up, but yeah.
You were leading from the front, as per! Now, there was me, your dad, Melon.
I was on about all sorts that night.
I just can't remember what.
Good boy.
You what? You what? - Who this? - I found her.
I found Gerry.
I followed her to her house.
She headed straight there after you spoke to her? Yeah, mate.
I weren't even halfway through my savvy.
Hang on.
Hang on, big 'un.
I'm sure I just caught sight of Bernie.
- I'm on my way.
- I ain't seen him, though.
- I ain't seen Melon.
- You saw one of 'em.
- That's enough.
I'm on my way.
- All right, mate.
Do me a favour, yeah, Goz? Text me the address and stay put.
Yeah, yeah.
Will do.
See ya.
What have you got Goz doing for you? I can see the head you've got on, Nells! What head's that? The one that couldn't give a shit what mess you make.
Move out of the way.
Never mind the bridges.
It's the village you're gonna burn.
Seen that head before.
And it weren't me made the mess, Stace.
Stace? I'm just trying to see what I can do about it.
- And all he said was that? - Yes.
Hang tough, or some shit.
And he said he was worried about you.
- Bernie, we need to go.
- Let him go, Bern.
- Stay here.
- Oh, don't start.
I came home to tell you, time to let him go.
And Kevin will let me stay now, will he? He will if Melon's not with you.
Go back to work now, yeah? - You must have enough by now.
- I swear to God.
Go back to work.
Piss off and leave us alone.
- He'll be the end of you! - Leave us alone! Can you not see that? He fucking will! - Why has Goz come after us? - I've no idea.
Who was that? Hello? Remembered Melon said your sister worked at that fancy chip shop.
I met her once.
When was that, eh? - What do you want, Nelly? - One thing.
Gill shouldn't be around this, Goz.
- Yeah? - Sure? I am.
And thanks for everything, yeah? Leave us alone.
It's nothing to do with us.
Need to ask Melon about that.
About why he ain't offered a single word of fucking condolence.
About how well he knows me.
As well as the nonce who took my kid.
Not him! He knows nothing about that.
He doesn't! Gonna need him to tell me that himself, Bernie.
Sorry, but I am.
He's gonna need to sit me down, show me what's what and prove it beyond a shadow.
Cos if not, yeah, if he doesn't do that, and sharpish, if he doesn't prove to me that he is not the one that took my fucking kid, things are gonna get a touch fucking chronic!
