Right. Balloons, streamers, paper plates.
I've crossed them off the list.
- I haven't got a list. - I have.
Cake, that's at the office.
I'm happy to do some of this, MJ.
It's her first birthday, Ellen.
It's your job to enjoy it too.
Here.
- You're doing enough, MJ. - I enjoy helping out!
I've got the afternoon off.
I'll be there to blow up the balloons.
You're kidding.
MJ's putting you forward for your sergeant's exam?
- That is fantastic! - Yeah, it's great.
You've wanted it for so long. I'm so happy for you.
It will mean a lot of work. Nothing's guaranteed.
- Yeah, but think of the money. - I'd get a bit more, yeah.
So maybe we should start looking at flats?
Let's not go mad. I don't want to jinx it.
It can't hurt to see what's out there, a new hobby.
Come here, sergeant!
A bit nicer than your old office, isn't it?
Yeah, every cloud!
So I've scheduled us for a weekly meeting
just to keep me fully briefed.
Fortnightly will be fine.
It's what I always used to do with your predecessor.
As I said, weekly.
Thanks!
Sorry.
Don't tell me, the alarm didn't go off.
Jas was just telling me about his sergeant's exams.
It's fantastic.
Glad to see it hasn't gone to his head.
Missing persons.
OK. Yeah. Try and stay calm.
What's her name?
Yeah. And you're her mother, yeah?
OK, Leanne.
You stay there, and I'll meet you at the school.
What is it?
Daughter's gone missing, aged six, Jade Hallum,
born 12th of November, '03,
been reported missing from Hillfield Primary.
Check hospitals, ambulance logs, everything.
Kids that age usually turn up quickly.
Probably just wandered off.
Yeah, well, we know that,
but imagine how terrified her poor parents are.
Has anything happened that might make her do this?
- Was she being bullied? - Bullied? She's six years old.
I've seen it happen younger, Mr Hallum.
It's Lloyd, Ben Lloyd. Jade's Leanne's daughter.
I see.
- And her dad? - Marcus.
- He lives locally. - Does he see her?
Leanne?
Yeah, every second weekend.
And that's all all right, is it?
Yeah, I suppose.
He's a bit of a waste of space, to be honest.
Here's his number.
Have you spoken to him?
He can't have his phone on at work.
- He's a pool attendant. - A lifeguard at Swan Street pool.
I left a message. Ben went over to the flat. There's no-one there.
We've got uniform and any cars in the area helping to search.
Kids run off and turn up all the time.
I know it's hard, but try and stay calm, yeah?
They'll find her.
Shall I report this to DCI Ford?
No. Chances are the kid will turn up within the hour.
Talk to Jade's friends.
See if she was all right this morning.
I'll go to the swimming pool, talk to the dad.
And you've definitely got a double room available that weekend?
Does it include breakfast?
Brilliant. Thanks.
Yeah, I'll get back to you.
Can I help you?
Yeah, it's my son, he's disappeared.
It's OK, Marcus. We've got people out now searching.
- How long's she been gone? - Under an hour.
Do you know of any reason why she'd run away from school?
No way. She loves it.
It's Monday. They do painting on Monday.
And would she know her way from the school to your place?
Not really.
Don't you think you should get changed first?
Yeah, OK, but phone me, yeah?
Keep me posted because her mum won't.
Of course I will, as soon as I hear anything.
- You must be very proud. - Oh, God, yeah.
25 years I have been a fireman, and there I am for my son's passing out.
Probably the best day of my life.
So you haven't seen him since Saturday night?
He came down on Friday for the weekend.
He's stationed in London.
Married or girlfriend?
Well, he was going steady for a while, but they split up.
We'd not met her.
Did he seem his usual self?
A bit preoccupied. I don't know.
- Go on. - Well,
we were all a bit distracted, to be honest.
My daughter, Ellie, just told us she was going to be a mum.
- Congratulations. - Yeah, first grandchild.
So tell me what happened on Saturday.
Well, he went out for a drink with his mate Lewis,
left the house about 9.00pm, and...
- Have you spoken to Lewis? - Well, I spoke to his parents.
He said he hadn't seen Nathan since Saturday.
Alan, does your son have any worries that you know of,
debts or anything like that?
No. He'd have told me. I'm sure of it.
Well, I'm going to need to speak to Lewis.
Do you have a phone number?
Yeah, yeah.
Jade's father has been arrested a couple of times.
Marcus? What for?
Breach of the peace. I couldn't find any details.
Do you want me to chase up the officers involved?
No. I'll get Amy. What about the stepfather?
Ben Lloyd, a bit more interesting, two convictions for assault.
- Oh yeah? - He's from Reading originally.
I spoke to Thames Valley Police.
Turns out he was a bit of a lad back in his day,
used to kick off when he had had a few,
but this is seven or eight years ago.
It should still be on our radar. Good work.
Danny?
Nice gaff. When do the owners want it back?
Funny. Be with you in a minute.
Right. We need to focus the search. There's a park here and here.
Need to check the playgrounds, get a list of CCTV cameras in the area.
All right. I'll talk to uniform.
They're for my niece's birthday.
So you're after cases for your new radio show, are you?
Well, just one or two.
We're generating our own stories now.
Figures are up 10%. It's regularly winning its slot.
Winning its what?
It's a showbiz term.
- Right! Well, if you're too busy... - Oh, no, no, no.
I can always help you out,
but it is a two-way street, right?
- Go on. What do you want? - MJ, have a look at this.
Mmm, fan mail, get you!
Lola Teal,
- "Miss"! - Yeah. That's the problem.
"Dear Danny, you're all I think about, Danny.
"I came and waited for you after your show last night.
"I watched you get into your car.
"You were alone."
So that's flattery, is it?
Maybe you should take them to the police.
I do missing persons, not paranoid DJs.
This needs discretion, MJ.
I'm a celebrity now!
Danny, I'm busy.
There's something you should see.
Not you!
Uniform found it on the road by Muswell Street playground.
It's ten minutes from the school.
Tape off the site. Get forensic...
- It's done. - Good work.
Amy, check for CCTV where this was found. Jason has got the location.
What are these?
Nothing. It's nothing.
Amy, we got a kid missing,
- a six-year-old girl.- Sorry!
I'm sorry. I've got a list of the CCTV cameras here.
Right. It's Muswell Street playground.
- Is it...? - It's Jade's.
She loves this thing. She saved up for it herself.
So what does this mean?
If we can place Jade at the exact spot
where this pencil case was found, it means we can start
to track her movements, build up a picture.
How long will that take?
Time's getting on, and she's still missing!
MJ.
Could you wait here a minute?
No. No!
Timed at 10.35am, and registration's unreadable.
We don't know for sure it's Jade.
I need to show this to her parents.
Is there anything about the car,
anything unique?
It's a VW Golf.
Must be shed loads of them in Dover.
What's that?
It looks like a resident's parking permit maybe.
I can probably enhance the image if you give me five minutes.
Thanks. I'll talk to DCI Ford.
So she got into this car? Can you read the registration?
No, but there's possibly a parking permit we can ID.
You should have told me sooner. We're losing time.
I could have got extra officers on the case, alerted CID.
Listen, this is first indication we had that she hadn't just wandered off.
Her parents are obviously very concerned.
Obviously.
It's their job to assume the worst, ours, to be realistic.
As your line manager,
how seriously we take this case is my decision to make, MJ, not yours.
I thought I'd made that clear.
Seems I was wrong.
- Leanne, can you confirm... - Of course she can!
OK. I know you're worried, but...
Look, who's in charge here?
- Who's running this? - I am.
And you are sergeant what exactly?
Detective Sergeant Croft.
Well, Detective Sergeant Croft, why don't you go outside
and find someone who knows what they're doing!
Ben, just stop it!
Parking zone E - that's the Hewitt Road residents' zone.
- It narrows it down to about half a dozen streets. - That's great!
Before... those print-outs you saw ...
I was booking us a weekend in Paris.
Right.
- I had no idea. - Oh, no.
It was meant to be a surprise to celebrate your good news.
That's really sweet of you. When is it?
Weekend after next.
I can't do that. We have to do a weekend course.
It's part of our training. It was compulsory.
I can't...
It's my fault for making it a surprise.
Hey, we can always go some other weekend.
Yeah, maybe.
Amy, could you organise some tea for Leanne and Ben?
Hi, Ellen.
Now?
OK, then, yeah. You wait there.
Someone from work lent me this.
I just hope I've got the right tapes.
Ellen, something's come up.
- Sorry? - I can't make the party.
We've got a really big case on.
I've got to stay here.
I should have guessed it was too good to be true.
I'll pay for the childminder to work this afternoon.
- She can give you a hand. - No, MJ, it's fine. Don't worry.
I can manage. We'll miss you, that's all.
I'm so sorry.
Come on. I need to pick up that cake.
Where's DS Croft?
She's with Jade's parents.
And how are you getting on?
We've identified the car.
We're just waiting for details of the owner now.
Good.
Hi. I'm DCI Ford.
Please come to me if you need anything.
- This is my sister, Ellen. - Right.
It's in my office.
Sarge, we got him.
Car's registered to Anthony Cable, 48 Culbert Road.
He's a retired printer, clean record.
Get uniform around there.
I'm putting CID on this now.
You can work alongside them.
With respect, ma'am, my team have been on this since the start.
And your sister, where does she fit into all this?
Uniform will be at the house any minute.
If we're sharing this, I want someone there.
Jason.
Remember the chain of command, DS Croft.
It's there for a reason.
Ben and Leanne OK?
Yeah. They just wanted to get some air.
And Nathan Bright, any progress?
Well, I spoke to the friend he was out with on Saturday night.
He said Nathan seemed a bit distracted
and they went to a pub on Priory Road.
Well, there's a few down there.
It was the Duke of Cambridge.
Nathan got drunk and tried to start a fight with someone.
Did they say what it was about?
Nathan just lost it, and the bouncers threw him out.
Well, speak to them. See if they can shed any light.
And find out who was on uniform relief in the area.
- They might have spoken to him. - OK.
MJ,
about this training weekend
that Jason's doing for his exams,
how often do they do it?
Every month or so. Why?
It's just we're meant to be going away that weekend, and
I mean, he can miss this one and do the next one, right?
You really should check that out with Jason.
I've got some good news.
The car was registered to Anthony Cable,
but his wife was driving it.
- So she picked up Jade? - That's right.
Jade was sitting by the road looking lost and scared
- and everyone just ignoring her. - Where did she take her?
Her dad's.
She said Jade was meant to be meeting him.
What?
Jade didn't know the address,
but Marion Cable worked it out from her description.
- And? - Well, no-one home at first,
and then Marcus turned up.
Jade ran to him, called him daddy.
Marion Cable said that's why she was happy to leave the girl with him.
- OK. What time was this? - About 10.45am.
That's just after I left him at the pool.
He must have gone straight around there and found her.
If she's safe, that's the main thing. Let's get this confirmed
by the father as soon as possible.
I don't get it. Why hasn't Marcus contacted us?
Marion said she was supposed to be meeting him.
She said the exact words Jade used were, "I'm meant to meet him".
Answer phone.
Where's Ben and Leanne now?
Out front.
So she took her to the house, and it looks like she's with her dad now.
Oh, thank God!
Did anything happen at home to make her run off?
No! We had a lovely weekend, didn't we?
Yeah, we went to mum and dad's in Reading.
We're thinking of moving down there.
It's just talk.
Nothing's decided.
So is he bringing her here?
I'll ask him to do that as soon as we've heard from him.
You haven't actually spoken to him?
Well, they're most likely at the house. Jason's on his way there now.
Did Jade say anything about having an arrangement to see him today?
No. Why?
She told Mrs Cable that she did.
Right. I'm going down there.
- Ben, don't. - Leanne,
why would Jade say she was going to go and meet him
if he hadn't already planned this.
What are you suggesting?
- If you don't tell her, I will. - OK!
All right. It was after we split up.
Marcus got involved in this stupid group.
The Campaign for Real Dads.
It's a group of self-pitying losers who think their kids would be
better off with their dads than their mum.
It was a long time ago. He gave it up.
That bloke ran away to Greece with his kids, Leanne,
and they're still there now.
Hang on. Hang on. What bloke?
Someone from the same group, but Marcus hardly even knew him.
- It doesn't matter now, does it? - Leanne, this is vital information.
He won't do anything stupid. He loves her.
So where are they now, then?
Here it is,
Martin Beck. He took his two children to Greece
without the consent of their mother a year ago.
He's currently fighting extradition,
and he was an active member of Campaign for Real Dads.
Is there any link at all between him and Marcus?
Oh, that could take days to establish.
We don't have time.
If Marcus has been planning something like this, he won't hang around.
Well, there's no sign of activity at his flat.
We need to get in there.
Talk to Ford. Ask her to arrange a warrant.
You sort out some uniform back-up.
Amy, run Marcus's car reg through NPR.
Might be on the road already.
DCI Ford, please.
Timing, immaculate, as ever.
In here.
Amy, I came as quick as I could.
- Should we go through here? - Yeah.
Guess where I found this?
On your doormat?
Under my windscreen wiper.
Same as the others?
"I waited for you, but you didn't come.
"I'm quite angry with you, Danny. I don't like people being rude to me."
All right. All right.
Look. Her number's here. I'll give her a call,
and then stop hassling me, will you?
Got a warrant.
Nathan's never been in a fight in his life.
It does sound like it was Nathan, I'm afraid.
I hope he's all right.
I've checked all the hospitals, but he's not there.
He gave the police a false name and address.
Sounds like he was very drunk.
It's just such an overreaction.
To what?
This girlfriend thing, you know?
You said they split up a while ago.
Did I?
Yeah, one or two months ago, but you know, he's still really cut up.
He's a sensitive lad.
Look, I'm sorry. I'm just really, really tired.
I have been up all night searching for my son.
OK. Well, I'll call you if there's any news.
Oh, the address he gave to the police was... Alison Grove.
- Number 30? - Yeah, yeah, that's it.
We used to live there when Nathan was little.
I'll go and check.
No, that's OK. That's my job.
They left in a hurry.
Clothes everywhere, shaving stuff gone.
Any sign of travel documents?
No, not so far, but this was stuck to the fridge door.
A copy of Jade's birth certificate, why would he have that?
And look at this.
Returned documents from the Passport Office.
I've got the Passport Office on the phone.
Can you check again?
It's Hallum, Jade Hallum, date of birth, 12th of November, 2003.
- Nothing at all. - Hang on.
Leanne's name is Hallum, but that's her maiden name.
Well, that's what she's registered with the school as, Jade Hallum.
But her father's name was Marcus Bell.
So he'll have applied for a passport for Jade Bell.
Can you check again under Jade Bell, same date of birth?
Yes! A passport was issued three weeks ago.
OK. Jason, get onto the Border Agency, put up
an alert against that passport
and put out an all-ports message
and check all the ferry passenger lists.
You going to need some people for that?
I'll talk to DCI Ford.
We did all the basic checks under the wrong name.
Should I run them again?
Yeah, you'd better. It's worth it just in case.
Where's Leanne?
Oh, she's in the interview room.
Oh, I talked to MJ about that weekend.
- What? - Well, it's OK.
You could do it another time. We can still go.
- Amy! - What?
Well, let's, let's talk about it later.
- Leanne... - Any news?
Did you know that Jade had a passport?
No.
- Marcus applied for one in her name. - Oh, my God. He was right.
Ben was right, all those things he said about Marcus.
What things?
That I couldn't trust him that he was irresponsible.
I thought he was just jealous, but he was right.
Sarge, can I have a word?
The checks threw something up.
Amy's just spoken to Dover Royal General.
Jade was seen in A&E within the last hour.
Get over there.
What's up? What's going on?
They've gone.
The doctor says Jade was brought in by her dad to check some bruises,
but it was nothing serious.
When the hospital wanted to report it, he scarpered.
Any idea where they went?
No. The car park CCTV is knackered,
but apparently Jade said something about going on a boat.
OK. It's the ferry. I'll speak to CID.
You get down there with uniform.
On my way.
Got an alert from the ticket office.
We've tracked his car, and he's in that queue,
silver Ford.
They're holding the line for us, but we need to move in quick.
OK. Let's get over there.
Keep the uniform here. We need to do this gently.
All right.
Stay here and pick him up, all right?
Come on, Jade.
Marcus.
- Marcus... - Back off.
- Marcus, we need to talk. - Leave us alone!
Marcus, you need to come with us for Jade's sake.
I'm taking her somewhere safe.
Where?
France?
Spain?
Away from everything she knows.
She'll be with me.
You'll be on the run.
You won't be able to settle anywhere.
She won't be able to go to school. Is that what you want for her?
I know what you want. You want to take her back to them.
Nothing will happen to Jade while she's with us. You know that.
You'll get a fair hearing. You've got my word, but
you've got to come back with us. We need to talk.
Nathan?!
Nathan, you OK? Are you all right?
Who are you?
What do you want?
You scared the life out of me!
I'm Amy Garnet, Missing Persons Unit.
- I'm not missing. - No. Your dad thinks you are.
Yeah?
Good!
Where is she? Where's Jade?
She's just having a check-up to make sure she's OK.
Why? What's he done to her?
What's going on? I want to see her!
We need to do this, Leanne.
She's got some bruising.
Bruising?
Look, just let us see her, now.
I know this is hard on you both, but we need to establish
a few things before we can send you home.
- Like what? - We're not being obstructive for the sake of it.
This is for Jade's benefit, I promise you.
If you can go with DC Hobbs, I'll be with you soon.
I've alerted Child Protection.
I think CID can handle this from here.
Thanks, DS Croft.
I promised Jade's father a fair hearing.
That goes without saying.
CID taking over?
Same as it ever was!
Poor kid.
I hope she's OK.
You did a good job, Jason.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks.
- Have you seen Amy? - She's out on a job,
but something tells me her head's full of mini-breaks.
Oh, that... well, it clashes with my training.
It's obviously very important to her.
You think so?
- How did you find me? - You gave this address to the police.
I was blind drunk.
I just wandered around until...
until I found myself... here.
I used to love this place.
Nathan, is this something to do with you splitting up with your girlfriend?
I didn't split up with my girlfriend.
I split up with my boyfriend.
Ellen, it's me. I'm on my way.
Don't let her blow the candle out until I get there.
DS Croft,
on reflection, I think it might be best if you attend
these interviews after all.
Of course, if I can help.
You can.
They're not getting anywhere with Marcus,
and he asked for you.
I broke up with my boyfriend a week ago.
All I wanted to do was go home
and see my family and feel supported, you know?
But if I kept up the pretence it was a girl,
how could it mean anything?
So... I decided to tell them.
And it didn't go down well, I take it?
My dad said he thought it was disgusting,
his actual word.
Well, he told me he was proud of you.
No, he's proud of what I do,
but he's ashamed of what I am.
When he asks if I'm OK,
tell him I'm fine.
But you're not, are you?
Just give him a chance.
Why were you trying to take her out of the country?
She told me Ben hit her,
that he covered her in bruises.
Why didn't you simply ring us and tell us that?
Well, I panicked.
A few weeks ago you applied for a passport in Jade's name.
Yeah, I wanted to take her on holiday.
You see, Ben...
He's got money, and he's always buying her stuff.
I thought if I saved up, I could take her on a trip.
You don't think I planned this?
You're involved in a group called The Campaign for Real Dads.
One of their members abducted his children.
That was three years ago, and I hardly knew the guy.
Look,
when Leanne got residency of Jade, she didn't want me to see her.
This group took me down the pub and told me I had rights.
- You still involved with them? - No way.
Leanne loosened up, let me see Jade, and
I could see how stupid it all was,
getting drunk, telling each other what great dads we all were.
And are you satisfied with the level of access?
Well, I still miss Jade.
So I meet her at school sometimes.
She tells me what she's been doing. I know I shouldn't.
And you were supposed to meet her today?
I couldn't. I had to cover someone at the pool.
So you're saying she was so desperate to see you that she ran away?
You've seen the bruises.
Hello, Dad.
Nathan, you...
The state of you, Nathan, you...
I have been worried sick. So's your mum.
- That's not my fault. - Don't try and blame this on me, Nathan.
You think I'm disgusting.
That's what YOU said.
- What choice did I have? - Please!
- Do you want me to go? - No.
Is that what you still think?
I think you're confused.
Andrew and I were together for two years.
- Please! - We're in love.
I don't want to discuss this, Nathan.
This is just...it's wrong, Nathan.
This is...
This is wrong, Nathan. This is...
wrong.
Are you OK?
I'll be fine.
He's the one with the problem.
Thanks, Amy.
It was worth a try.
You are joking!
I wouldn't touch a hair on her head.
So how did she get the bruises?
Look, bruising, yeah, from playing football with her the other day.
We were playing for a couple of hours,
- but we were just messing about! - And why would she lie about that?
I don't know. I swear to God, me and Jade get on great.
Ben, if you're telling the truth,
then she must have a reason for doing this.
Think.
I did tell her that we were moving away.
To Reading?
Away from her dad?
Yeah.
And how did she take that?
Well, I mean, she was pretty upset, but
I told her she'd get to see Marcus at holidays and
that me and her mum still loved her.
Cheers.
I just can't work out where I went wrong.
Stop seeing it like that.
You told me how proud you were.
Nothing's changed. Nathan's still the same person.
Not to me.
That may not be right, but that's how I feel.
Listen. Thanks for your help.
Try not to judge me.
Oh, I think you're doing that already.
Maybe.
Well done.
Do you think he's telling the truth?
Probably.
Jade adores her father.
The prospect of not seeing him might make her do something like this.
All the same, we can't just dismiss her allegation.
- Should I talk to her? - Yeah, good idea.
She's had a traumatic day. Keep it short.
Jade, do you know the difference between right and wrong?
Well, hitting people is wrong, isn't it?
Yes.
What about telling lies?
I bet your mum and dad...
said that good girls like you
shouldn't tell lies, haven't they?
See, the thing is,
Ben said that you got your bruises...
when you were playing football.
He showed me a bruise that he had.
Was he telling the truth?
Jade,
did Ben hit you?
Am I in trouble?
Did you sort it out, that weekend?
Um, yeah.
Actually, Amy,
it was a bit out of order you talking to MJ about that.
Sorry?
It's my training for sergeant.
It's important.
And I was trying to do something nice, for us.
The nicest thing you could do is not to give me a guilt trip.
- Come on! - I just think
our priorities are slightly different right now.
You've not even passed your exams yet,
and you're already talking down to me.
- Get over yourself. - Ah, just grow up.
Do you know what? I can't do this anymore.
What do you mean?
Look at us.
It's obviously not working.
You're right.
That's what I have been thinking.
So do you want to end it?
Well...
It's probably best, you know.
If neither of us...
OK.
Fine.
We will.
So that's the end of that nonsense, then, yeah?
We had to put Jade's safety first.
- What are you charging Marcus with? - Nothing.
- He tried to run away with her. - He just believed his daughter.
- Mummy! - Oh, sweetheart,
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Let Marcus know he can go.
- You OK, darling? - I'm sorry I told lies.
No-one's angry with you, yeah?
It's just that I don't want to live in Reading. I want to live here.
I know.
What did you tell her?
Did you tell her we were going to move?
Well, we talked about it, yeah. I mean, it's going to happen, isn't it?
No, Ben! And it's not up to you to make that decision.
- Someone has to! - And it's got to be you?
You suggesting we stay here for Marcus?
I mean, after what he did today? He's unstable.
Look who's talking!
- Let's just calm down, shall we? - Stop telling me to calm down!
Where's Jade?
See, this is what happens.
We screw things up, and she's the one who suffers.
Go on.
Go back to your mum.
All right. Come on. Let's go home.
It's all right. We'll stay at my mum's tonight.
- Leanne... - I'll call you later.
I can give you a lift if you like.
Thanks.
Come, then.
- You must be exhausted. - I passed exhausted a while ago.
Can you wait here with the police lady for me, sweetheart?
Thanks.
So, Jade, have you ever seen a police radio?
Shall I show you one, quick?
Girls, got a minute?
I thought you were going to a party.
Yeah, just on my way.
Look, I was wondering if...
Oh, yeah, your stalker.
You can stop worrying about her.
- She's been nicked. - Eh?
She asked for a solicitor,
but CID thought she should sweat it out overnight in a cell.
That's a bit much, isn't it?
Apparently, her place was a shrine to Danny Hayworth.
She had cameras trained on your house.
No way!
Photos everywhere, and some of your stuff.
You didn't throw out some old jeans recently, did you?
Well, I might have done.
She was wearing them when we picked her up.
You've got to be...
All right. All right. I get it. I get it.
Lola Teal was a lonely old dear who thinks you've got a lovely voice.
I put her straight on that one.
I was genuinely worried, MJ.
You should have thought of that
before you sent her a signed photo with a flirty message on.
All right. All right.
No wonder she got ideas!
Thinking of throwing yourself in?
I'm sorry.
I just believed what she said.
He wouldn't hurt her.
He loves her.
But he told her we were going to move away,
and she thought she wouldn't see you.
What?
It's something we've been talking about.
I never thought about what it did to her.
Us breaking up.
All we ever did was drink, smoke dope, have a laugh,
and suddenly, you're pregnant.
I mean, we're meant to be adults.
It didn't really happen, did it?
At least not to me.
You kept letting us down.
- It was like you didn't care.- I'm so sorry.
Please believe me.
I've really sorted things out now.
I think I've finally grown up.
Maybe you could have her through the week,
- a couple of evenings after school? - Yeah, yeah, of course I could.
We're staying put in Dover,
so don't worry.
- Where's Zara? - Having a nap.
- Did you find whoever it was? - Yeah, yeah, we did.
A bit more important than this?
Even so, we've not had many family dos.
This was a big deal for me.
That's what I feel too.
So I...
- I invited someone else. - Oh, yeah? Who's that?
Look, you might think this is a bit weird.
I know you have had problems in the past.
It took me awhile to track him down, but...
Ellen, what have you done?
I asked dad.
Dad?
Our dad is here?
Dad, come through.
Hello.
Ellen said you might not make it.
Here I am.
So good to see you.
- What is it, 20, 30 years? - Yeah.
Yeah, something like that.
And you're a Detective Sergeant now.
That's great!
Thanks.
You have to see what he gave Zara.
This is unbelievable.
It's a trust fund in Zara's name.
£2,000?
Isn't that amazing?
Amazing.
Well done, guys. Great work today.
- DS Croft not around? - She had to go.
Well, you make a great team.
Thanks.
I'm just glad we got a result.
I hear DS Croft's put you forward for your sergeant's exams.
Good luck with that. I'm sure you'll do well.
Thank you, ma'am.
Keys.
- Sorry? - Keys to my place.
Sorry it hasn't worked out.
Well, never mind.
It hasn't been good for a while, has it?
Not really.
I'll bring your stuff in tomorrow.
All right.
Thanks.
- Mary Jane! - What do you want?!
Just to talk, please, you and me, no-one else.
I've got nothing to say.
- But I have. - Well, I don't want to hear it!
Just give me a chance.
- Just let me try. - That's all you do!
You'll try, and you'll fail, and then you'll walk away when it all gets too much.
Well, I'm sorry, Dad!
I don't want to know! Just leave us alone!
Mary Jane, please!
