Deep Water (2019) s01e03 Episode Script

Episode 3

We have a nice dinner, and then sex.
- You get £5,000.
- This is a one-off.
What if Lucinda saw us and that's why she's left? Our little girl's missing Guy, I just need some support.
And you've no idea where Lucinda might be? Well, there's this lad called Nelson.
- Get off me, she's not here! - She's 14! I won't tell Joe.
That we had coffee.
None of us want to lose our families, do we? Lucinda, if you're watching this, we just want you home.
POLICE RADIO: '175 calling any units in the Coniston area' Oh, God.
I know she left because of me.
If she doesn't come home if something has happened to her No, she's going to come home and when she does we can try and be a proper family again.
How come you're so certain? I would know if anything bad had happened to her, Guy.
I would feel it.
Mummy? - Yeah? - I feel sick again.
Don't worry, munchkins.
Mummy will fix you.
Your tummy? RADIO: 'The parents of missing schoolgirl Lucinda Riverty, 'have made fresh appeals for her to return home.
'The 14-year-old was last seen five days ago, 'but police investigating the case have confirmed that Lucinda 'has been in touch with class-mates by phone, 'and was staying with a friend until recently.
'Anyone with further information' MUSIC: ['Static' by Toydrum featuring Beth Orton.]
Ready? Me neither.
But if we hid away every time something bad happened, we'd never leave the house.
- Bye! - Have a good day.
Oh look at her.
I don't know how she keeps going with Lucinda still missing.
- I'll see you soon, OK? Morning.
- Morning.
One of us could have brought Fergus, couldn't we, Lisa? Yeah.
You should have called.
I know.
Thank you.
But Ferg is struggling a bit, so I'm trying to keep things as normal as possible for him.
But there is one favour I need.
Do you think you could bring me copies of Sally's schoolwork? So Lucinda doesn't drop behind.
Erm Yeah, I can see what I can find.
Drop by whenever.
I'm home.
You mean today? Well, I'd like to have it ready the minute she gets back.
Which could be anytime.
Couldn't it? - Yeah, of course, yeah.
- [SCHOOLBELL RINGS.]
I should go and speak to the others.
Thanks.
- See you later.
- Bye.
- Morning.
- Anything? This isn't about Lucinda, I'm afraid.
Guy Riverty, I am arresting you on suspicion of the assault of Nelson Carter.
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something you may later rely on in court.
Look, do we have to do this now? Someone on a chat room thinks they might have seen Lucinda in Grasmere.
I have to get up there.
Sir, I can assure you that all leads are being followed, but you really do need to come with me now, OK? Guy? What's going on? It's nothing, it's nothing.
I got in to a bit of a scuffle with that kid who was messing around with Lucinda.
In which Mr Carter sustained severe facial injuries.
OK.
I'll call the solicitor then.
No, no.
There's no need for any fuss.
It won't be long.
Mrs Riverty? Would you like me to send someone to sit with you? No, I'm fine.
Thank you.
- Hey, love.
You OK? - Not really.
What's happened? I just saw Kate.
Lucinda ran away, it's not your fault.
I dunno, it's all getting on top of me, I I just want to get away.
We could stretch to a couple of days somewhere.
Really? Yeah.
We could go back to Whitby? Recreate the highlights of our honeymoon? - They'll still be here when we get back.
- Oh, come on.
What's going on? Buddy, come back! Oh, my God.
Hey! Come on! Come on! Stop! It's too fast, we're going to have to get the car.
See if we've got gloves.
He's a biter.
No, no, no! You go that way.
Good boy, there we go, good boy Good boy.
Get the lead.
Good boy.
- Right, it's on, it's on.
- There we go.
Oh, God.
What's that? Let's take a look at you.
- What's up? - Her leg's badly caught.
That farmer needs to get down here and manage his beasts.
She won't last that long.
Wait here.
I'll get the truck.
Thanks.
[FERRYBOAT HORN SOUNDS.]
What time are you supposed to be at work? Half eight.
You're going to be late again.
I told them, if they want me to be on time, they have to pay us more.
Well, something's better than nothing.
I'm meeting the landlord tomorrow night, to pay the back rent.
That'll be fun(!) Thank you.
For sorting everything out.
You're the one keeping us all together, you know.
- Will you marry me? - [ROZ LAUGHS.]
I'm serious.
A registry office and pub lunch.
Me, you, Abby, witness off the street.
What do you say? Too soon.
I haven't had a bet for nearly ten months, you know, Roz.
I know.
And that's brilliant.
But come back to me when it's been two years.
It feels like you're punishing us.
I'm supporting you.
You don't need any upheaval.
- I'm trying to move on.
- And that's exactly what we're doing.
Yeah, but two years all right, two years.
I'll win you round! Watch this space! I've called the farmer.
He'll be down to collect her in the morning.
Great.
- All right, hold her.
- OK, got her.
You can give me animals over people any day.
- Maybe you're onto something.
- What do you mean? Well, you did all those years at vet school.
You always wanted to do more than run the kennels.
That's a work call coming in.
We'll speak later, eh? Hello? Er, yeah If you could take a look at these, sir.
These were taken, obviously, after the incident.
If we could wind this up as quickly as possible.
I don't like leaving my wife alone at the moment.
Of course.
Although you mentioned you had plans today, sir.
I was going out to look for my daughter.
My child is missing.
I have no idea where she is, I don't know who she's with, I don't know if she's hurt, if she's scared, for all I know, she could Look I was looking for someone to blame, Nelson Carter was standing in front of me.
I lost control.
Do you do that a lot, sir? You were investigated for a violent assault.
It was a road rage incident? That was years ago.
They dropped the charges.
Have you ever used violence against your children? I'm sorry? Only, your son, Fergus, mentioned should Lucinda return home, you might smack her.
Oh, for God's sake, he was joking! Surely, you know he was joking.
What are you bringing that up for? I'm just trying to establish if your violent temper might be a factor in Lucinda's decision to run away.
For fuck's sake.
Look I've admitted that I hit him, OK? Now can I respectfully suggest that you just bloody charge me and get back to looking for my daughter?! Your neighbours told us that you're often away for days at a time, so You know, I think I would like my solicitor, please.
Tell you what got me through learning to drive.
A playlist.
Every time I started stressing about a three-point turn, I'd bang on a tune.
Bingo.
Keisha.
Gary is ready for you.
And Wayne, when you've got a minute, the bin in the staff room needs emptying.
- School notes.
What I could find anyway.
- Thanks.
I'll see if Sally's got any more when she gets back.
Hang on.
Alexa's here.
She wants to speak to you.
Is it almost ready? - Hey.
- Hi Lisa, how are you? All right.
Well, obviously, I'd be better if Lucinda was back, but I was hoping you could have our dogs.
Until she's home.
Erm OK.
Lex, I've told you, I'm fine.
No, I won't have you on your own.
Guy will be back soon.
Our Labrador needs his insulin shots.
Can you manage that? Yeah, I can do injections, I studied at University for a few years.
.
I was going to be a vet but my mum got sick.
Two dogs? For now.
I'm going to get the kids a pug for Christmas.
Don't tell Adam.
He'll kill me.
Speaking of who, I should call and remind him he's collecting Fergus.
From school? Poor man won't know what's hit him when the bell rings.
Perhaps you can look out for him, hold his hand? Et, voila! Looks good.
Vegan and gluten free.
Christ, well, that just killed the mood.
- Erm, so, I have something for you - Mm-hmm? Erm - Afternoon.
- Hello, Scott, how are you? - Good.
Good.
- The usual? Yes, please.
Can't stay away from this place.
Too much temptation.
Hello, Roz.
Hiya.
Sorry.
Erm I need to get Abby.
Wait, wait, wait, you said you had something for me? Ooh.
Is it my birthday? Open it later.
- Blimey, Roz! What is this? - It's what I owe you.
What did you do? Did you rob a bank? I'll call you later.
She's so sorted.
When I'm with her, I feel calm.
You know? And she believes in me.
Even after everything I've done.
You know that look, people give you, when they know you've had a problem? You know it's like, they look at you, they only see the weakness.
They don't see the strength that it takes you to get through every single day without having that buzz.
That buzz, knowing that you could just you could make all your family's dreams come true with one punt.
She doesn't just see my weakness.
She sees my strength as well.
I'm Winston.
I'm a compulsive gambler.
[THEY APPLAUD.]
Who's he? - Hi.
- Hi.
He's Fergus's uncle.
You know, we met him at Kate's house.
Oh.
OK.
- Adam.
- Roz.
I'm really sorry about Lucinda.
We're hopeful she'll be home soon.
Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.
So what's the routine then? Do I just wait here? Yeah, just wait here if I were you.
You're just trying to keep me all to yourself aren't you? [SCHOOL BELL RINGS.]
There's Fergus.
Yeah, I see him.
Nice to meet you, Roz.
And thanks again, Lesley.
It's Lisa.
My name is Lisa.
Lisa.
Right, you've got me today.
- How come? - Cos I won the bet! So what was all that about? At school pickup? I had sex with him.
In Kate Riverty's bloody bathroom.
Oh, Lisa.
I was drunk, I was absolutely off my head and the whole night was just weird.
Joe he passed out on the sofa and I went to the bathroom and he just walked in.
He walked in and he kissed me and I kissed him back and on the sink! Well you were drunk.
Now I've got to tell Joe.
And I don't know how.
- So don't.
- What? Don't tell him.
Come on.
You'd tell Winston.
ROZ SCOFFS: Not if it meant nothing.
Look, there's a place on your neck.
If I apply pressure to it, your toe will twitch.
Anyone can push the right buttons and create a physical reaction.
But to create a reaction here you know, to make a real connection with someone, that's that's something else.
Don't ruin what you've got with Joe.
Whatever happened was a one-off.
What you need to do now, is just forget all about it.
Well, he clearly has.
Yeah.
Lesley.
- Bastard.
- Exactly, he's an idiot.
You just need to focus on Joe, you know.
He loves you, wants what's best for you.
I know.
We even talked about we talked about going to vet school today.
Great! I'm really excited about the idea.
Maybe that's why you did it? Maybe you were looking for something else, you know a new direction.
Maybe.
- Maybe.
Thank you.
- No worries.
God, I've so wanted to tell you.
Thank you very much.
Are you OK? Well, what happened? What did they say? Oh, Jesus.
I just wasn't thinking.
I wasn't thinking about the ramifications.
All I could see was him standing in front of me, looking like he didn't give a shit and all I could think about was his hands on Lucinda.
I'm so sorry.
Don't you dare.
Don't you dare apologise for defending our family.
You did what any parent would do.
Did I? Listen.
Forget about the past.
This is now.
You are an incredible father.
And I have never been more proud of you.
Stop it Kate, come on.
Do you want me to stop? MURMURS: 23.
60 Sal! Do you want them or not?! Yes, thank you.
Is that everything here? She wanted copies of everything.
Luce has vanished and all anyone's bothered about is that she doesn't miss any lessons! You're all weird! Sally? You all right? Is Sally going to run away too? Well I hope not, no! She's always shouting and crying.
That's because she's a teenager.
Come here.
Lucinda ran away because there's something wrong with her family.
But there's nothing wrong with ours.
- All right? - Yeah.
RECORDING: 'I'm sorry, but the person you've called 'is not available.
'Please leave your message after the tone.
' Where are you? I'm so over this.
I'm home.
You don't give up, do you? Just water.
Strictly starvation rations until we're out of debt.
OK Who are you, and what have you done with Winston? I lost him in a bet, unfortunately.
Roz look, er we've never had a lot, you and me, have we? But we did have trust.
And I've broken that.
But I'm gonna get it back.
Whether it takes us two years, or 22 years, I'm gonna get it back, I promise you.
I'm not gonna be the bloke who sells the spare tyre any more.
From now on, I'm going to be the AA man.
I'm the hero driving through the night to make everything all right.
I don't need you to be a hero.
I just need you to stay out the bookies.
Apart from that, you're pretty much perfect.
You reckon? You know, there's never been anyone else for me.
Maybe it's time we told the world that? W-what you saying? Yeah.
Yeah, like yes? Yes.
- You're saying yes? - I'm saying yes! - Yes?! - Yes! [SHE YELPS.]
Winston, put me down! What's happening? Your Mum and Dad are getting married.
Really? We're gonna be a proper family? Oh, we've always been that.
Come here.
Remember when your dad used to keep stock? And you hand reared that ram.
The one who thought he was a sheepdog? Yeah.
Bowser.
Daft bugger.
I think she'll be all right now for the night, don't you? Yeah.
I'll get washed up.
You know, I've been thinking about what you said this morning.
Yeah? And I mean, I know I'd have to resit some exams, and I think I could do it.
It would mean getting a student loan and pulling back on basically everything, but Hold on.
You want to go back to vet school? You said I should I meant get some livestock in, build up a herd.
Not go back to uni.
At your age, Lisa? That's fantasy land.
I always fancied a velvet suit.
Here, we could all be matching.
Get Abs a little velvet bridesmaid's dress.
I thought we weren't getting dressed up.
You've gotta wear something a bit special for your wedding.
I'm sure there's something in the wardrobe that'll do.
That blue one.
You know, the one with the sleeves that you wore when I first took you out! I think that's under the stairs somewhere.
I'll check tomorrow.
Roz I'm going to make you so happy, you know.
So happy.
Got you.
I don't even know if I'd get in, I don't even know if it's possible.
I mean who would run the kennels? I don't know.
It was just an idea.
A developer would kill for this site.
They could buy us out of our tenancy.
Wait.
You want us to move? Would that be such a bad idea? This is our home.
Yeah, but it doesn't mean we have to always stay here.
It's all right for you, you've lived in other places.
Jesus, Joe, I was conceived in this room! - OK, look, let's change things up a bit.
- No! And I don't want to go to Whitby either.
Lisa! Look around you! I mean, folk would kill for what we've got.
You were definitely being weird, Roz.
You couldn't get out of the caff quick enough.
I had to get to school.
I'm fine, honest.
Abby, come on! We've got to move! And then I tried to call last night and you just didn't pick up.
Yeah, sorry about that.
We were celebrating.
- What were you celebrating? - You should go, you're gonna be late.
- Have you not told him the news? - What were you celebrating? Winston's got a job at the Fairleigh.
That's old news.
The new news is, we're getting married! - [WINSTON SCOFFS.]
- Whoopie(!) No, no, no, no, sor Oh, come on! It came as a bit of a shock, guys, that's all.
It's great news.
Congratulations.
We should go for a drink.
Definitely.
And celebrate.
Yeah.
Just a minor point of order.
Is it wise to be arranging a wedding just so soon into his recovery? Yeah, look, we talked about it.
And it's fine.
Winston's in a good place.
And I'm still stood here right in the room.
Well, you know best.
- Yeah, I do, Pete.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'd best I'm gonna let myself out, guys.
- See you.
- Yeah.
Tell the whole world, eh? You weren't even gonna tell your own brother.
I was.
I was.
I was just waiting for the right moment.
Look, I finish early today, so why don't we spend the afternoon together, but we start wedding planning, yeah? - Sure, yeah.
- OK.
Have a good meeting.
Come on, Abby! - Bye, Dad! - See you later, love.
I'm home! You ready for some wedding planning? Winston? Winston? - I'm sorry.
- No.
No.
It was Pete.
Every time he comes here, and I know he doesn't mean to, he makes us feel like shit.
I would have been fine if Pete hadn't come.
Stop.
Stop.
Just stop it.
We can still get married, Roz.
Just postpone it for a few weeks? - Are you delusional? - I'm not delusional! Look, I fucked up! I know I fucked up! I get it.
You have no clue what I had to do to get that money.
It was just a loan off your brother.
Pete's got loads of cash, he's not gonna miss it.
Cos he has a job! - You heard of one of those? - Yeah, I've got one, remember? Three mornings a week? You know I'm not cut out for a nine to five.
Who is?! You don't have a fucking golden ticket, Winston! Everyday, people drag themselves out of bed to do things they don't want to do.
Things that bore them.
Things that demean them.
Things that they would never do if they had a choice! Life isn't about doing what makes you happy! It's about doing what you need to do to keep a roof over your head! It's called being a grown-up! You should fucking try it sometime! - Hi.
- Hey.
Hey.
Adam's come round to drop off the dogs.
Oh, yeah, course, sorry.
I forgot.
Erm Have you been waiting long? I've been well looked after.
Shall we go and get them out of the car? Yeah.
Thanks, Joe.
Good to see you again.
Er, Lisa You went round there? After we agreed not to see them? It's a long story.
I'll tell you later.
Thanks for taking them at such short notice.
Glad I could help.
Look, you don't have to stick around.
I can take it from here.
Hello, girls! Here, take this.
- It's my work number.
- Thanks, but I won't need it.
Look, I'm sorry about before.
I'm hopeless with names.
So if you ever wanna call me - I'm gonna have a cup of tea.
- OK.
So what's going on with Winston? Have you had a row? He's gambling again.
I've sent him to stay at his mum's.
I've told Abby she's poorly.
I'm sorry, Roz.
I'll have one kid to think about instead of two.
You don't have to put up a front.
I know what he means to you.
Love don't pay the rent.
Going to see the landlord tonight.
- Could you watch Abby for a bit? - Yeah, of course.
Thank you.
- No worries.
- I'll be as quick as I can.
I was supposed to just drop the homework off, and then Alexa said she needed help with the dogs.
Tell me you're not taking them as a favour.
You're charging, right? We didn't discuss money.
How come? You don't owe them, Lisa.
Why don't we take a look online, - see if we can find a holiday? - Holiday?! We'll see.
You said you wanted one.
Not Whitby.
Yeah, but I've got a new kennel girl now and I've gotta train her up and I can't just leave her immediately.
So, after that? - And what about the kids? - Take them with us? I'm booked up for every school holiday from now till forever.
We take them out of school for a couple days.
And get fined? Jesus Lise, you've got to make up your mind.
You wanna see the world, you wanna stay at home.
Your job's too much, your job's not enough.
You need to decide what you want, cos you still seem to care far more about them than you do about us.
The dragon snaked its long neck around to look at the boy head on, - Gavin felt the blood - Daddy? I like it when Lucinda's not here.
It means that you put me to bed every night and you never go away.
He watched as the dragon lifted the great bulk of its tail slowly from the ground swinging its body round in line with its head, the giant claws scratching deep lines in the earth 'Scott, hello?' Hi.
It's Roz.
Can you talk? I'm driving.
Say hello to Louise.
Hi, Roz.
Hiya, Louise.
How can I help you, Roz? 'Well, you'd mentioned about another session 'Well, I've just had a last minute cancellation for this evening.
'Is that too short notice for you?' No, that's good for me.
'I'll just drop Louise off at home, then I'll be right over.
' 'Half an hour?' Perfect.
Yeah.
See you there.
I've booked a room.
I thought we could do it here.
In my office.
You can't be serious? It's more discrete.
I'm paying so that I can spend quality time with you.
Maybe we should wait until we can organise something properly.
I'll call you in a few days.
No, I can't wait that long.
Just Trust me.
You won't regret it.
- You didn't waste much time.
- Don't you dare.
Don't you fucking dare do that, turning up to my house like that.
Talking to my husband.
As if everything's all right, as if nothing's happened.
Don't you dare do that.
I had a good life, a wonderful husband, and everything was fine, until you walked into that bathroom.
- Really? - Yes! Well, whatever helps you sleep at night.
But you wanted it just like I did.
Of course, I want things! Everybody wants things.
It doesn't mean you can just take them! But you wouldn't understand that would you, you lot? No, you want something, you just help yourself.
Well, you can't help yourself to me.
OK.
Everything was fine.
And now it's and now it's all fucked! I'm sorry.
So am I.
Shit.
Slow down! Slow down, slow down! Want to talk about what just happened? - Tricks of the trade.
- Sorry? There are pressure points in the body that can be used to increase arousal.
Is that ethical? I don't use them in my general practice.
Look, erm I've gotta get back to my daughter.
