Morning.
Cappuccino?
Got you extra chocolate sprinkles as well, just for you.
Have a nice day!
And why are the police still here then, if he's done nothing wrong?
Kat, I just want to speak to him.
Harassing women on their doorstep, Martin? It's not a good look, mate.
Who asked you?
Trust me, it's sorted.
What does he know?
Nothing.
Make sure it stays that way, won't ya?
What've you got the hump about?
I don't know, Dad, maybe that the police are on the Square,
Kush has gone AWOL, Martin Fowler's asking questions. So?
Well, Kush has already threatened to sell us down the river.
What's to stop him from telling Martin everything when he finds him?
All right, look, just calm down. Plus, whoever actually told
the police in the first place is still walking around.
Weren't anyone round here. And how do you know that?
Whoever it was knew exactly when and where that job was taking place.
I've been here before, remember?
Now, it could have been anyone - you know,
the security guard who saw us in the area. Anyone.
Your dad's probably right. I ain't going to sit around
and wait for someone to take down my family, Callum.
I'm going to find exactly who it was and I'm going to
make sure that they don't say anything to anyone ever again.
Ben.Why you getting all Hufflepuff all of a sudden?!
You're refusing to help me.
Callum, someone is out to get us.
All right, fine. I'll help.
I can't promise I'll find anything but I'll try.
But you've got to stop all this.
I don't deserve you.
MUSIC PLAYS ON HEADPHONES
How's Daddy?
I was just checking that I spelt lasagne right.
Why you talking to him at all after yesterday?
Well, he did try and get you the money.
Sure he did.
You know, if it was for you he would have managed it.
Wait. Peter, wait.
You all right?
You tell him about the will?
Look, I know you're angry with your dad.
But don't push your brother away too.
Mugged?!Yeah. Well, did you call the police?
No, no, it's fine. It's fine.
I'm sorry about the whole Vic fiasco.
It's fine. It's not, it's not, all right?
And I'm going to make up to you. I've got a plan.
What do you mean you got a plan?
Trust me, all right. All good things come to those who wait.
But as an important local businessperson,
would you say the council...?
Uh, getting a little background colour?
A little insight into the life of a hard-working politician?
That's him all over, that is.
Yeah, the demands of balancing business and duty,
you know, with a full schedule. Just looking at, you know,
links between money and politics.
Business, corruption and...
..stuff.
Listen, I hope that the Gazette is not going to suggest
that my business partner don't have the integrity?
Max, there's a delivery at the restaurant.
Cos honesty is your middle name, innit?
Must be useful, having political clout
when you have so many businesses?
Yeah, but that's not why I do it.
Mr Branning?
Yeah, Max, delivery.
No, it's all right. That can wait. Now.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry, my business partner, he's...
..a little bit jealous of my success and standing...So.
Bribes.
DOOR CLOSES
Look. I'm sorry.
It's just Dad has a way of...
Getting in your head?
I was going to say making you want to jump out a window.
Well, he tries.
He took Gran's money.
And he spent lockdown with Sharon instead of his own kids.
Yeah, well... He is all right deep down.
You know, he's helped me a lot.
He doesn't get praise for looking after you, Bobby.
That is literally his job.
No, it's more than that. I was a mess, it was...
Being back here, it... It doesn't matter.
What happened?
Just...nothing.
Bobby.
Bobby! I saw her.
I saw Lucy.
Where is all this coming from?
It's a simple yes or no answer. No!
No, Mrs Panesar didn't offer you the bribe, or no, you didn't take it?
No, I didn't take it!
But she did offer it?
And you reported this to the monitoring officer?
This isn't your story.
I think council taxpayers would love...
Local businessperson offers local councillor a bribe.
I mean, have you any idea how many times a day people try
and twist my arm?Are you saying corruption is widespread?
No.
What I am saying
is local councillor being offered...
..sorry, refusing inducements...
..that isn't your story.
So what is?
If you have no further comment...
Suki Panesar.
I mean, she's like an iceberg, OK?
Bribery is just the tiniest tip.
Did she speak to you? It wasn't real.
Dad and Gran knew about this? I couldn't control it.
So you've been lying to me.
Why didn't you tell me?
Well, it doesn't happen any more. And I needed it to stop.
Things got bad... I try to remember her.
What she looks like, what she sounds like, but she's slipping away.
Do you know what I'd do to see her just one more time?
I'm sorry. Why did she come to you?
It was all just in my head.
But it wasn'treal. You're the one that killed her!
He was up all night again last night. Just pacing.
You got to get him out of there, Kat.
Oh, yeah, just get him to whack on a pair of sunglasses and a fedora.
We could just walk him out the front door.
I'm just worried about him. Dotty's floating...
Could've waited till I left if you want to speak about me.
We weren't. You literally just said my name.
Actually, we were.
Whit was just saying that you don't help enough around the house.
Huh. Well, I just spoke to Grandma Dot and I'm going to go
stay with her for a bit. So I'll be helping out even less.
Don't let us keep ya.
Thanks for that.
Well, at least Morticia's one less thing to worry about.
Yeah, but Sonia is due back from Bianca's any day, Kat.
You have got go speak to him. I can't spend another night in that
loft listening to him banging on about the money he's owed.
It's fine. I've calmed him down.
He's finally sleeping. I haven't heard nothing all morning.
What, nothing?
Kush?
You're going to fix this!
I am done hiding. How'd you get in here?
You've got yourselves out of stuff like this a million times before.
The police are watching! Are you completely braindead?
No-one saw me, OK?
You got yourself in this. You can get yourself out of it.
And you think I'd help you after you threatened us?
Now, get out of my house! I am not going anywhere.
Either you fix this or you give me what I am owed.
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
I dare ya.
You said the Hulk weren't anywhere near here.
Now, he needs to disappear.
And how we supposed we do that without any money?
Now, I ain't going to tell you again. You get out of my house!
Watch the road!
Everything all right? Yeah, yeah.
Just the normal Slater madness, you know.
I'd try to offer advice,
but I'm still learning how to tame Carter women.
Ha-ha! Good luck with that.
Is there a problem?
With you?
Always.
Just leave it, Gray.
You can just go around and say whatever you want?
I see you for who you really are. Do you?
Yeah. Yeah, and what's that?
You know exactly what I'm talking about, Gray.
You need to keep your opinions to yourself!
Oh, yeah?
What you going to do if I don't?
Gray? What?!
I'm so sorry.
Let's go to the shop and get some dinner, yeah?
We'll see you back at home.
Oh. Back to finish off your interview with Councillor Beale?
Actually, we're widening out the article.
Looking at other prominent members of the business community.
Oh, I just run a small shop.
Oh.
And...a call centre. A pest control business.
Properties across the borough. Well, we're a hard-working family.
"She crams them in tighter than sardines."
Sorry, what?"No-one wants 15 people living next door to them."
Look, I dunno who you've been talking to...
Red tape holds businesses back.
Legislation is important to protect the tenants against the ruthless...
Must be tempting. To find a fast track.
Twist the arm of those in power.
Such a difficult time for local newspapers.
And with your neighbour being a prominent local politician...
Have to be so careful, don't you?
Printing the truth.
Libel.
My sources.. Wouldn't want to
have to pay out for damages now, would you?
Lovely talking to you.
You all right, darling?
Why didn't you tell me Bobby could see Lucy?
Uh. Well, he couldn't, not really.
Do you know what I would give to have a conversation with her?
Or even just to see her again.
But he gets to.Peter, you have to understand, he wasn't well.
That doesn't make it fair.
Oh, please, Peter, this family's already falling apart. Good!
You know, he's doing so much to make up for what happened.
He's put his heart and soul into the Lucy Foundation.
Yeah, to make himself feel better.
No, no, to make you feel better.
He needs you to forgive him.
He adores you. You know that.
He would do anything for you.
You're right.
He would.
The authorising officer is DI Thompson.
He's asked for everything to come directly to me.
DOOR OPENS
What you doing?
Just, Thompson asked me to do a bit of research.
Oh, yeah, what research? For some new case.
Oh, I got that file that you asked for.
Yeah, great. Send it over.
Um...
Junior officers shouldn't have access to those files.
Oh, come on, Jack. We're stretched so thin everyone's going
above and beyond their pay grade.
Well, don't say I didn't warn you if the boss finds out.
It won't happen again.
Stop using the juniors as lackeys.
I requested the audio file from that 999 call.
Yeah, I'd need to authorise that.
I used your log-in details.
Naughty, naughty.
So tell me, what's stopping me
reporting you right now for impersonating a senior officer?
Whoever made that call could give evidence against Phil.
This is the closest we've been to getting him.
I'm just about to locate where the call came from.
That along with the audio file... You're running out of time.
Come on, guys. Look, we've been practising, ain't we?
You've taught me the dance now.
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
Oh, hiya.
All right?
We're supposed to be doing a music video, but...
Well, come on, you two, you've been practising for days.
You're all dressed up ready to go.
What if...
..Daddy did it with us?
Daddy doesn't like dancing.
No.
It's fine.
You'll have to teach me, though.
Yay!Great.
What are you playing at? Trying to sort this.
How?
I couldn't just sit here doing nothing. I'm going crazy.
Well, I'll get Whit to open a window
and you can stick your head out for a couple of hours every day.
Maybe Phil's right. Maybe I should just disappear. You're not running.
Well, unless you can think of any better ideas,
what other choice do we have? We?
It'll be a fresh start for both of us.
MUSIC PLAYS
And cut!
Wahey! Very good!
Why don't you two go and get changed and we can watch it back.
So...
..what was that about earlier?
I've never seen you like that before.
That's not me.No.
You're a really good bloke, Gray.
And you know, the people that matter know that.
Sharon? Kettle's just boiled if you fancy a cuppa.
Councillor Beale.
You can't just walk into my home.
Whatever you've told him, fix it.
You can't prove it was me.
The correct answer would be "told who what?"
And how does he even know about our little arrangement?
What arrangement?
If there's a bad word written about me in that paper,
I won't hold back.
And if you said anything that implies...
I'm a woman of my word.
If people cross me, they tend to regret it.
Are you threatening me?
Just ask the last man who got in my way.
BOBBY COUNTS QUIETLY
That's not going to make you feel better.
I should have told you.
You working on the Lucy Beale Foundation?
People have been really generous.
You know, I always wonder what she'd think of us two now.
She'd probably be nicer to you.
You've been amazing.
She'd give me a talking-to for the mess I've made with Lauren.
She'd find a way to help you. Yeah, she would.
She did whatever she could for this family.
That Foundation money...
..that's to help people, right?
I can't use that money for anything else other than the Foundation.
That would be dishonest. Dishonest to do what Lucy'd want?
I don't even think that's legal. I thought you were sorry.
I am, but... After what you told me today, you owe me.
I know, and I'll find a way to make it up to you.
But just... Apologies without actions are just words.
I wish I could take it all back. I do,
but I can't give you that money.
Do you know what I wish?
I wish it was you that had died.
