I had sex with Adam.
- Why? - I felt like I was worth something
and I was one of them.
And I'm so sorry.
JOANNE: You were investigated for a violent assault.
It was years ago. They dropped the charges.
Have you ever used violence against your children?
Are you OK?
You have no clue what I had to do to get that money.
LISA: I saw you with her.
You go to the police, tell them what's happened and they'll tell you what to do.
No, no.
No, he'll leave me, and I love him so much.
And I'm not gonna let that happen.
OK, well, so what do you want me to do? Just carry on as normal?
- You're not gonna wait for me? - Seems like you can handle yourself
pretty well on your own.
ROZ: You need help. You're sick.
Lucinda?
We just need some time on our own.
GUY: And you're definitely OK? - LUCINDA: Yes, I keep telling you.
- So no one tried to hurt you? - No.
- Nothing bad happened... - No.
Just give her a little space. She'll tell us everything when she's ready.
GUY: Just wanna know she's OK and where she's been all this time.
I've been staying in one of the cottages.
Hang on, one of our cottages?
But that doesn't make any sense.
- Is Fergus any better? - He's gonna be out tomorrow, they say.
The police checked everywhere. I checked all the cott-
KATE: Guy, just back off.
We don't know what she's been through.
- Well, that's what I'm trying to establish. - Right, OK.
Lulu, come on, let's go through.
Can you call the police? They need to know she's home.
- You know, you could've given me more warning. - I know. I'm sorry.
- Has someone figured it out? - No, no, no, of course not.
Give me that old phone.
Right, yours has been off the whole time, so if anyone asks
- just say that you lost it in your room. - OK.
Is he home? Did it work?
- Yeah, yeah. - What, he's home, like, for good?
Well, I mean, he's been here ever since you went missing, so...
We've done it.
It's over.
I love you.

JOANNE: You know, most people think the trouble's over when the missing person
returns home, but quite often it's just the beginning.
KATE: OK, so...
So, the first night you were missing, you stayed at your boyfriend, Nelson's.
He wants to be my boyfriend but he isn't.
That's why we argued, so I left and I walked to the cottage.
- And you didn't have your phone on you? - LUCINDA: No. I lost it.
Oh...
Most girls who have an argument with a boy, they wanna speak to their mum
or, uh... a friend.
They don't disappear for days on end.
I needed some space.
Then I saw that I was all over the news and I was scared to come home
just in case I got into trouble.
