Liv are we OK? Yeah, of course.
Why wouldn't we be? What's the matter? Erm I took down a photo of me from the work account.
Would you mind not posting photos of me online? What? The stalker, remember? Oh, for God's sake.
Sorry.
Just delete it.
- I have.
- Well, then, fine.
You know, I don't know how you think you're going to manage if you can't have any photos of you anywhere.
You do realise there are going to be photographers at the launch? I just won't be in any of the photos.
But you are dating Elliot Fairbourne, so - Are you sure we're OK? - I'm not over the moon, no.
No.
But I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, so just Just let me get over it.
Erm, do you want me to do the guest list for the launch? I can take it off your plate, talk to Nish.
Yeah, that would be good.
Thank you.
OK, so they want plus ones for We've starred the ones from the union list, the councillors, the Chief Constable and a couple of people from his office.
Yeah, I think that's good.
Cool.
Thanks.
How have you been finding it? Yeah, it's awesome.
The start-up world's been really fun, you know? But the business sort of runs itself now - and, yeah - Are you excited - for the launch? - It'll be great.
Yeah.
I just hope Elliot manages to enjoy himself.
I think he finds those events quite difficult.
It It reminds him Yeah.
Did you speak to her that night? Chloe? Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
You ask a lot of questions about Chloe, don't you? Really? Sorry.
Sorry.
Erm, I I guess it's It's just been such a trauma for Elliot.
I want to support him.
Well, you scared him the other night.
Disappearing like that.
He's a sensitive guy and he's my best friend.
I don't like to see him get hurt.
Fritz Zwicky was the first person to posit its existence in the 1930s.
You see, he observed the speed of revolving galaxy clusters.
Essentially, discs of stars rotating around the centre of the galaxy.
And he saw Hello.
Hi.
Good day? Yeah.
- You? Good.
- Mm.
Nish told me you guys had a nice drink.
Yeah.
Speaking of which.
- Do you want one? - Yeah.
Erm, just My podcast's nearly done.
What sort of scale are we talking about? By our current calculations, we're talking about five or six times the amount of matter that's currently accounted for.
So most of the universe is dark matter? Mm.
Yes, that's correct.
So, why exactly can't we see it? Oh, well Erm, so, Natalia's in town tomorrow.
- You know, my friend from Japan.
- Oh, that's nice.
I'm very excited to meet her.
Erm, actually, I think she's got me tickets for a gig.
But I can see how long she's around for.
OK, sure.
No problem.
Cheers.
Can I get a beer? Oh, my God, Sasha! - Tara? Tara! Wow! - Yes! Yes! - It's so random to bump into you here.
- I know.
Random! Oh, my God, do you remember the dinner? We met? That night was the most awkward night of my life.
It was so awful.
Awful! I was, erm I was just going to go and have a smoke.
- Do you want to join me? - I don't smoke.
It's bad for you.
Come on.
Tara, we need a debrief.
- OK, fine.
- Of the awful night! I just don't think we should have been there.
They were so deep in their grief.
Yeah.
Erm, so, were you dating Nish before she died? We actually met the night it happened.
Oh, my God.
So did you meet her that night? No No.
Nish talks a lot about her, right? Yeah.
I never got why he hated her so much.
Yeah Yeah.
That's so weird.
What was that about? He's got oblique energy.
He's got what? He's always angry at the wrong thing.
Maybe it's because he's terrified that at any point he's going to be thrown off the ride.
I should get back in.
- Who are you here with? - Just some friends.
Did Nish ever mention anything about some money? - No.
- Or a chocolate box? What? I just heard there was something weird about the chocolates that Chloe brought Elliot that night.
I don't know what you're talking about.
So Nish never mentioned anything? I should go and find my friends.
Sure.
I hope you don't mind me saying your energy is a bit oblique, too.
Have a good night.
I know everything about you and I still like you.
Yeah, but it's different with you.
You don't judge.
You mean I'm your grimy friend you can tell anything? I need coffee.
My head is pounding.
- Overdid it a bit last night, did we? - A bit, maybe.
So, am I going to get a chance to meet her, or? She's actually had to rush back to London.
Shame.
How come? Work.
Never mind.
Erm, I wouldn't go in there if I were you.
Why? What are you hiding from me? Just how truly messy I am.
- I'll drive.
- You're not insured.
Oh, my insurance covers it.
You might still be over the limit and with the launch on Friday, - I've just got to be careful.
- I'm fine.
Really.
I'll drive to the meeting and then you can go on from there.
Come on.
I'm going to be late.
No running! - Excuse me.
- You all right there, miss? - You're not supposed to be - Sorry.
I need some help.
- You're not allowed phones out.
- Right Right.
OK.
Erm, do you know this person? Oh, yeah.
She used to come here.
Well Did you ever chat to her? No.
But it was weird.
She was the one who would jump in the pool - and get straight back out again.
- Why? I'm really sorry but you're going to have to Right OK.
She'd wait over there and then a guy would come meet her.
He'd drop her back a bit later.
What did he look like? Erm, long hair, handsome.
Posh but sort of dirty.
Have you got the money? I just need more time.
Do you want me to go and fucking tell him? Hello.
Lavinia Gardens Rehab Centre.
Hi.
What are your visiting hours? We accept visitors up to 5pm.
OK, brilliant.
Thank you.
I'll see you soon.
- Hey, El.
- Hello.
- Is everything OK? - Where are you? Livia said you left Berkeley 45 minutes ago.
Hang on.
Just give me a sec.
I thought you were at a strategy meeting tonight - so I went for a swim.
- Where? The one near us.
Gardiner Park.
Oh, OK.
I was just expecting you to come home.
You didn't say anything this morning.
No No.
Sorry, I forgot.
Erm, where are you? I'm at home.
I was waiting, getting worried about you.
OK.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I'll be back in half an hour.
Half an hour?! I thought you were at Gardiner Park.
Yeah.
I'm just drying my hair.
I'll be back soon.
Fuck.
I'm sorry.
You got dinner.
I did.
I thought it would be nice, but it's all cold now, so I must have misunderstood.
I thought you were working late tonight.
I was meant to be, yeah.
I managed to free dinner up.
Sorry.
I'll heat it up.
You know, I really struggle when I don't hear from you.
When I can't get through to you, my mind goes to the worst place, you know? OK.
Sorry.
I suppose you've forgotten we've got dinner with Nish tomorrow night? No.
No, I've booked a table at Bone.
You don't smell of chlorine.
No.
Erm I showered.
I'm tired.
Goodnight.
Night.
- Liv - Hiya, Richard.
I thought they said Livia.
I don't think so.
How are you? What are you doing here? I brought you something.
It's Chloe's diary.
There's lots in there about you.
Really? Erm I need to ask you some questions.
Why? You were picking her up from the swimming pool.
And the last time was a few days before she died.
Why the f Why are you asking these questions? I'm just interested.
Do you want the diary or not? Were you blackmailing her? Are you fucking crazy?! I'm not talking to you.
Wait.
I knew Chloe.
I met her a few months before she died.
At the pool, actually.
I fucking knew I remembered you.
Yeah.
We got on very quickly.
She was a good person and I think she was in some kind of trouble.
Do you recognise this? What is it? She gave it to me a few days before she died.
She told me to hold on to it until she came and asked for it.
Don't you know what it's for? No.
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Erm Wait, wait.
What about Elliot? What? What are you doing? Fuck.
She spoke so highly of you.
You seem to be the only one who really cared.
Yeah, I guess we We started hanging out a lot in her last few weeks.
What did you do? I don't know.
She'd She'd come over, we'd hang out.
She'd - Sometimes she'd borrow my car.
- To go where? I don't know.
Why Why didn't she use her own? Because she didn't have one.
The medication she was on made her drowsy so it wasn't safe.
So, were you fucking? What? No.
Me Maybe I wanted to.
And she she She wanted something like that from me.
What do you mean? She was unhappy.
She I don't know.
So what happened in that last week? Erm she, erm She texted me the day before.
- Yeah, saying? - Saying She wanted to borrow my car again and I was supposed to give her my keys at Elliot's charity thing.
She borrowed it that night? I didn't show up.
And you didn't know where she was going? Her parents? That's where she ended up anyway.
- She got a taxi.
- Why didn't you show up? I just I forgot.
Are you fucking serious? Where's your car now? It's at a garage in my flat.
I crashed it a few weeks ago and I haven't had the chance to pick it up.
Can I Can I see her diary? Oh, there's nothing in there about you.
It's just appointments and shopping lists.
Hi.
Hiya, El.
Sorry.
I I There's been an accident on the motorway.
It's Traffic's at a standstill, but I will be with you as soon as possible, promise.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
It was a nightmare.
- Where's Nish? - He's in the loo.
There was no accident on the M32.
Oh, well, that's what it seemed like.
The traffic was insane.
Listen, if you're having second thoughts, now would be the time to tell me.
I'm not.
You're up for this? - What? - Us, the campaign, everything.
Of course.
Can I trust you? Hey.
At last.
Sorry.
Traffic.
- Shall we get some drinks? - Sounds good to me.
So, we should talk about you guys.
Yeah.
Liv and Ben think we should keep the relationship under wraps, at least until after the election.
Well, that makes sense, definitely.
There's a lot of interest from the press guys around Chloe.
If they get a whiff of a new relationship, they'll be all over it.
After the election, if things go your way, we plant the story then.
Say you two got close during the campaign, etc.
I hate it.
Look, we'll start the due diligence check just to tee it all up.
On me? It's just standard.
Don't worry.
Just to get ahead of anything.
And then we can get it all out in the open.
Right Erm, I'm just going to pop to the loo.
Sure.
Shall we get the bill? Hi.
Hi.
Are you OK? Erm why haven't you told them? I don't know.
I probably should have but I haven't.
So, do you know why she called you? I don't know.
I don't know why, but I'm I'm I'm going to figure it out.
I just need a few more days.
I've got a lead.
I get it, but you know what I think, Becky.
I know.
Yeah, yeah, one second.
Sorry.
Erm, is there anything I can do? I've got to go.
- But thank you.
- Becky Hi.
I've come to pick up my husband's car.
- Richard Greenbank.
- Yeah, I'll just grab the keys.
Hello? Hey, El.
Hey.
- Everything OK? - A bit of a weird day.
What happened? Mainly launch stress and the return of Chloe's things.
Her phone, some other stuff.
Hello.
You've reached Chloe Fairbourne.
Hi.
It's me.
Are you there, Sasha? Erm, I'm I'm coming home so I'll see you soon.
- OK.
See you soon.
Bye.
- Bye-bye.
Hey.
Hi.
It's nice having you home.
Hello, Ben.
Yeah, give me the lowdown.
Great.
El? Hello? Hi, Mum.
It's me.
Oh, hello.
What do you want? Erm Nothing.
I I just wanted to say hi.
Oh, OK.
Well, I've got bingo.
- Oh, OK.
Have - Bye, nugget.
Hi.
You OK? What's wrong? I've I've been locked in.
What do you mean? I've been locked in for, like, the last three hours.
I tried to call you loads of times.
So you did.
- Sorry.
- Where were you? Well, I had, erm an early meeting and then I went to the gym.
- Where are your keys? - I don't know.
- Did you have somewhere to be? - I was going to go to yoga.
I thought Liv had the kids today.
Well, I booked a class on my own.
All right.
Erm, where have you looked? They must be somewhere.
- I've looked everywhere.
Obviously.
- Have you checked the key bowl? Always check twice.
I was going to make a frittata.
I've got some amazing cheese.
- I'm going to yoga.
- I thought you missed your class.
I'll go to the next one.
OK, but I'm making lunch.
- Look, can we just have a nice lunch? - I just want to go.
- Are you serious?! - I just want to go to yoga.
Listen to yourself.
I don't understand you at all.
I'm sorry.
I'll stay.
El.
Why the fuck was that in your bag? Sasha? Nish tells me you've been asking lots of questions.
What's going on? Hm? Erm - Sasha?! - Erm Erm From the beginning, I've found her very intimidating.
And she was this incredibly important woman in your life.
She She She was perfect.
I I just couldn't stop thinking about her.
I I know I know this sounds crazy but, erm But I almost felt like I I I felt like I wanted to be her.
First of all she wasn't perfect.
Far from it, in fact.
Most of the time she was her own worst enemy.
I tried.
I really tried to help her.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I was blameless.
I let things slip.
But she wouldn't accept my help.
Sometimes I think she enjoyed proving me wrong.
Don't hide things from me.
I just, erm I just felt stupid.
Shall we make some lunch? Yeah.
Erm, El, so, what about lunch? - Shall I? - Oh, erm Yeah.
Sorry.
I need to go through that at some point.
Erm, yeah, why don't you crack a few eggs and I'll put this stuff away.
Hi.
It's me.
Erm, can you call me back when you can? Hey, love.
I wish you wouldn't put your phone on silent.
Listen, I don't think you should come tonight.
I know you're not feeling very sociable and Liv is being a bit of a bitch about the IVF stuff, saying something about that you can't be trusted with Noah, doubting if you'll make a good mum.
I told her I didn't want to talk about it.
Also, our kid won't be such a nightmare.
Anyway, erm, I'll see you at home later? Call me to say you got this.
I love you.
Hey.
Call me when you get this.
I just got home and I thought you'd be here.
Chloe, you know I really struggle when I don't hear from you.
When I can't get through to you, my mind goes to the worst place.
Please, call me.
Hey, Chloe, where are you? We're looking for you everywhere.
I love you so much.
Look, I know you, I know what you want, even when you forget it.
Please call me.
Hello.
Am I talking to Becky Green? Speaking.
Our records show you received two missed calls on April 12th from a Chloe Fairbourne.
You did call me.
Fuck! You were dropping her off at the swimming pool.
And the last time was a few days before she died.
She'd just jump in the pool and get straight out again.
Why? We'd been trying to get pregnant for about a year.
We were about to start IVF.
She really wanted it.
Always check twice.
She wanted to borrow my car again.
I didn't show up.
Please do mingle, eat, drink, be merry.
Be careful.
It's always the husband.
Thank you all so much.
Have a wonderful evening.
She'd gone to her parents' house.
Called me up and told me to come straight over.
So I did.
Fuck! Sasha? What are you doing? I couldn't sleep.
Come back to bed.
I miss you.
- Hello.
- Becky? Are you OK? I'm scared.
