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.
This is 175 calling any units in the Coniston area.
Oh, God.
I know she left because of me.
What if she doesn't come home?
And something has happened to her?
No, she's gonna 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 happened to her, Guy.
I would feel it.
Mummy?
- Yeah? - I feel sick again.
Don't worry, munchkins, Mummy will fix you.
Is it your tummy?
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 confirm that Lucinda's been in touch
with a classmate by phone and was staying with a friend until recently.

Ready?
Me neither.
But if we hid away every time something bad happened, we'd never leave the house.
- Bye, love you. - Bye. Have a good day.
Oh, look at her.
I dunno how she keeps going with Lucinda still missing.
It'll be fine. I'll see you soon, OK?
- Morning. - Morning.
One of us could've brought Fergus, couldn't we, Lisa?
Yeah, you should've... you should've called.
I know, and thank you, but Ferg's 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 school work
so Lucinda doesn't drop behind?
Erm, yeah. I can see what I can find.
Yeah. 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 any time, couldn't it? - Yeah, yeah, course.
Anyway, 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'm 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 chatroom 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?
Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, I...
got into a bit of a scuffle with that kid who was messing around with Lucinda.
In which Mr Carter sustained severe facial injuries.
OK. Um, I'll call the solicitor then.
No, no, there's no need. I don't want any fuss. I 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 don't know, it's all getting on top of me, I...
I just wanna 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?
But it'll still be here when we get back.
Oh, come on.
What's going on?
Woody, come back!
Oh, my God. Hey!
Come on!
Come on, stop!
He's too fast, we're gonna have to get the car.
Wait, wait, 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. The lead?
Good boy! What a good...
- Right, it's on, it's on. - There we go.
Here you are.
Oh, God.
What's that?
Let's take a look at you.
- What's up? - Her leg's badly caught.
Well, the farmer needs to get down here and manage his beasts.
Oh, no, she won't last that long.
Wait here, I'll get the truck.
Thanks.
What time are you supposed to be at work?
- Half eight. - You're gonna be late again.
I told 'em if they want me to be on time, they'll have to pay us more.
Yeah, well, something's better than nothing.
I'm meeting the landlord tomorrow night, to pay the back rent.
That'll be fun.
Hey, thank you.
Sorting everything out.
You're the one keeping us all together, you know?
Will you marry me?
I'm serious.
Oh, a registry office and a pub lunch.
Me, you, Abby, witness off the street.
- What d'you say? - Nah.
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, uh...
feels like you're punishing us.
I'm supporting you.
- You don't need any upheaval. - I am trying to move on.
And that's exactly what we're doing.
Yeah, but two years?
In two years?
I'll win you round.
Watch this space.
I called the farmer, he'll be down to collect her in the morning.
- Great. - Shh...
- Ready? Hold her. - OK, got her.
Oh, you can give me animals over people any day.
Maybe you're on to something.
What d'you mean?
Well, you did all those years at vet school.
You always wanted to do more than just run the kennels.
I think that's a work call coming in.
Oh, let's speak later, eh?
Hello?
Aye, yeah.
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.
Though 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, um... 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 on Earth 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.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Look...
I have 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
to see my solicitor, please.
Uh...
tell you what got me through learning to drive.
Playlist.
Every time I'd start stressing about a three-point turn, I'd bang on a tune.
Bingo.
Keisha, Gary's ready for you.
And Wayne, when you've got a minute, the bin in the staffroom needs emptying.
School notes.
- It's 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.
It's almost ready.
- Hey. - Hi, Lisa.
How are you?
Alright.
Obviously, I'd be better if Lucinda was back, but...
I was hoping you could have our dogs until she's home.
Um... OK.
Lex, I 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 gonna be a vet, but Mum...
my mum got sick.
Ahem.
Is it...
- the two dogs? - For now.
I'm gonna get the kids a pug for Christmas.
Don't tell Adam, he'll kill me.
Oh, 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?
- Ooh! - Et voilà.
- Looks good. - Huh?
Vegan and gluten free.
Christ, well, that just killed the mood.
Um...
- So, I have something for you. - Mm-hm?
- Um... - Afternoon.
- Hello, Scott, how are you? - Good, good.
- Uh, usual? - Yes, please.
I can't stay away from this place.
Too much temptation.
Hello, Roz.
Hiya.
Look, sorry, um... I need to get Abby.
Hey, wait, wait, wait, you said you had summat for me?
Ooh, is it my birthday?
Just open it later.
Blimey, Roz.
- What is this? - It's what I owe you.
Well... what did you do? Did you rob a bank?
Yeah, look, I'll call you later.
She's so sorted.
Just... when I'm with her, I feel calm, you know?
And she believes in me.
Even after everything I've done.
You... 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.
Y'know, that buzz, knowing that you could just...
you could make all your family's dreams come true with one punt.
Well, she doesn't just see my weakness.
She sees my strength as well.
I'm Winston.
I'm a compulsive gambler.
Who's he?
Hi.
Hey.
He's Fergus's uncle, y'know, the one...
- Met him at Kate's house. - Oh.
- Oh, Kate. - 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.
Just trying to keep me all to yourself, aren't ya?
There's Fergus.
Yeah, I see him.
Um, nice to meet you, Roz. And thanks again, Leslie.
It's Lisa.
My name's Lisa.
Lisa.
Right, you got me today.
- How come? - Cos I won the bet.
So what was all that about, at school pick-up?
Uh...
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 gotta tell Joe, and I don't know how.
- So don't. - What?
Don't tell him.
- Come on, you'd tell Winston. - Pfft.
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.
Y'know...
whatever happened was a one-off.
You know, what you need to do now is just forget all about it.
Well, he clearly has.
Yeah.
Leslie.
Bastard.
Exactly, he's an idiot.
You just need to focus on Joe, you know?
- Go on. - He loves you.
Wants what's best for you.
I know.
Even talked about...
He talked about going back to vet school today.
Great.
I'm really excited about the idea.
Maybe that's why you did it.
Y'know, maybe you're looking for something else, you know?
A new direction.
Maybe.
- Maybe. Thank you. - No worries.
God, I've so wanted to tell you.
...very much.
Are you OK?
Well, what happened?
- What did they say? - Oh, Jesus...
Oh, I just wasn't thinking.
I wasn't thinking about the ramifications.
All I could see was...
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.
Oh, 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've never been more proud of you.
Oh, stop it, Kate, come on.
Do you want me to stop?
Twenty-three is 60...
Sal!
Well, do you want them or not?
Uh, yes, thank you.
Um, is everything here? Just, 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 alright?
Is Sally gonna run away too?
Well, I hope not, no.
She's always shouting and crying.
Well, that's because she's a teenager.
Come here.
Oh.
Lucinda ran away because there's something...
wrong with her family, but there's nothing wrong with ours.
- Alright? - Yeah.
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!
Ah...
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?
Oh, I lost him in a bet, unfortunately.
Here, Roz...
Look, uh...
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 anymore.
No, from now on
I'm gonna be the AA man.
I'm the hero driving through the night to make everything alright.
I don't need you to be a hero, I just...
I just need you to stay out the bookies.
But apart from that, you're...
mm, pretty much perfect.
Do you reckon?
You know, there's never been anyone else for me.
Maybe it's time...
we told the world that.
What-what you saying?
Yeah.
Yeah, like "yes"?
Yes.
- You're saying yes? - I'm saying yes.
- Yes? - Yes.
Yes!
Oh, oh! Winston, put me down!
- Yes? - Yes!
What's happening?
Your mum and dad are getting married.
- Really? We're gonna be a proper family? - Well, we've always been that.
Come here.
Remember when your dad used to keep stock?
- Yeah. - You hand-reared that ram
the one who thought he was a sheepdog.
You met Bowser?
Daft bugger.
I think she'll be alright for the night now, don't you?
Yeah.
- I'll get washed up. - You know, I've been, um...
thinking about what you said this morning.
- Yeah? - And...
I mean, I know I'd have to re-sit some exams, and...
I think I could do it.
It'd 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-I meant get some livestock
and build up a herd.
Not go back to uni.
At your age, Lisa, that's fantasy land.
I always fancied a velvet suit.
You know, we'd all... we'd all be matching.
Get Abs a little velvet bridesmaid's dress.
I thought we weren't getting dressed up.
Well, you gotta wear something a bit special for your wedding.
Well, I'm sure there's something in the wardrobe that'll do.
That blue one.
Y'know, the one with the sleeves that you wore when I first took you out.
Uh-huh.
I think that's under the stairs somewhere.
I'll check tomorrow.
Roz...
I'm gonna make you so happy, you know?
So happy.
Got ya.
I don't even know if I'd get in, I don't even know if it was possible.
- Don't... - Who would run the kennels?
I don't know, it was just an idea.
A developer would kill for this site.
You know, they could buy us out of our tenancy.
Whoa, whoa, 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, does it?
It's alright for you, you've lived in other places.
Jesus, Joe.
- I was conceived in this room. - OK, OK, look.
- Let's change things up a bit. - No.
- And I don't want to go to Whitby either. - OK, Lisa!
Look around you.
I mean, folk would kill for what we've got.
Mm, you were definitely being weird, Roz.
You couldn't get out the cafe quick enough.
Yeah, I had to get to school. I'm fine, honest.
Abby come on, we've gotta move!
Oh, and then I tried to call last night and you just didn't pick up.
Oh, yeah. Sorry about that.
- We were celebrating. - What were you celebrating?
Um, you should get going, you're gonna be late.
- Have you not told him the news? - What were you celebrating?
Uh, Winston's got a job at the Farley.
No, that's the old news.
The new news is...
we're getting married.
Pfft.
- Whoopee. - No, no, no. Sorry...
Oh, come on, it's just that it came as a bit of a shock, guys, that's all.
It-it's great news, congratulations.
We should go for a drink, definitely, and celebrate.
Yeah.
Just a minor point of order.
Um, is it wise to be arranging a wedding
you know, just so soon into his recovery? It's just...
Yeah, look, we talked about it and it's fine. Winston's in a good place.
Mm. And I'm still stood here, right in the room.
Mm.
Well, you know best.
- Yeah, I do, Pete. - Yeah.
Anyway, I, uh... I'd best... I'm gonna let myself out, guys.
I'll see you later.
- See you! - Yep.
Tell the whole world, eh?
You weren't even gonna tell your own brother.
I was, I was.
I was just... I was just waiting for the right moment.
Look, um, I finish early today
so why don't we spend the afternoon together?
We can 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.
It was Pete.
Every time he comes here
and I know he doesn't mean to, he makes us feel like shit.
I would've been fine if Pete hadn't come.
Stop.
Stop, just... 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've fucked up. I know I've fucked up.
I get it.
You have...
no clue what I had to do to get that money.
It's just a loan off your brother.
Oh, aye, 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.
Every day, people drag themselves out of bed
to do things they don't wanna do, things that bore them
things that demean them, things 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 some time!
- Hi. - Hey.
Hey.
Adam's come round to drop off the dogs.
Oh, yeah, course, sorry. I forgot, um...
- You been waiting long? - Oh, I've been well looked after.
Um, shall we...
- Shall we go and get them out the car? - Yeah.
Thanks, Joe. Good to see you again.
Uh, 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.
- Hey! - 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?
You had a row?
He's gambling again.
I've sent him to stay at his mum's.
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.
Can you watch Abby for a bit?
Yeah, 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, so...
Tell me you're not taking them as a favour and you're charging, right?
Well, we didn't discuss money.
How come? You don't owe them, Lisa.
Why don't we take a look online, hm?
- 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 got to train her up and...
I can't just leave her immediately.
Alright, so after that?
And what about the kids?
Take them with us.
I'm booked up for every school holiday from now till forever.
So we take them out of school for a couple of days.
And get fined?
Jesus...
Lis, 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
because 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 Elias.
Hi, it's... 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, and, um...
Well, I've just had a last-minute cancellation for this evening.
Um... is that too short notice for you?
No, that's, uh... that's good for me.
Uh... I'll just drop Louise off at home and then I'll be right over.
Half an hour?
Yeah. Perfect, yeah. See you there.
I've booked a room.
Well, I thought we could do it here in my office.
You can't be serious.
It's more discreet.
I'm paying so that I can spend quality time with you.
Maybe we should wait till we can organise something properly.
I'll call you in a few days.
I can't wait that long. Just trust me.
You won't regret it.
- You didn't waste much time. - Right, don't you dare.
Don't you fucking dare do that, turning up to my house like that
talking to my husband and...
As if everything's alright, 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.
Well, of course I want things!
Everybody wants things, but 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.
Yeah, so am I.
Shit, shit... slow down, slow down, slow down.
Shouldn't we 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? - Well...
I don't use them in my general practice.
Look, um...
I've gotta get back to my daughter.
