What happened today? Oh, sorry.

Um, it's nothing,

I'm just not very well.

The school didn't have any notice

from your parents you'd be absent.

Oh, really?

My mother said she'd call.

Yeah, she must have forgotten.

Both you and Lydia were no-shows,

so I was worried.

Ah, it was Lydia's birthday

yesterday,

so she's probably just hungover. Hm.

not till about nine-ish.

Bethan. Yeah?

You're A-star material.

Stalking me as always.

Is everything OK? Yeah, fine.

Um, I spoke to Ms Morgan earlier.

I'm going to resit.

What happened?

Oh, I just got sick and I had,

um, a sickness bug.

Is that true? Yeah.

Just vomming, it was gross. Why?

Don't know, I just thought maybe

things ended a bit weirdly

last night.

I didn't think it was weird.

That stuff I said about Jamie

..I was worried it might

have upset you

and maybe that's why

you didn't come in.

It's cool. Yeah, I'm happy for you.

OK.

SHE EXHALES

Does that tickle?

It's weird for Jamie.

It, it's fun, and he's sweet.

All this head girl stuff's exciting,

obviously, but

..kind of feel like now I got you,

do I even need all that?

Do you know what I mean?

Like, if we just did this every day,

I'd be happy.

And I was thinking last night

after you left

..what if

we hadn't started hanging out?

I can't imagine my life without you,

Beth.

Hi, Nan. Where you to?

Just getting to my friend's. Why?

Well, because I come here to see

you, and there's nobody here.

Oh, they won't be long. I think

they're just getting a curry.

What time does the postman come

here? I don't know, midday,

Because the post is still

What do you want?

Why did you miss the exam?

I only tell things like that

to my friends.

She went to see Tony Chippy

last night.

SHE SIGHS

This isn't a big deal.

Last thing she remembers is going

to see him in the shop.

Ugh, hey, keep your voice down.

And then he dropped her off

in the village a few hours later.

So what happened? Well, we weren't

doing watercolours, were

Oh, my God. What was she thinking?

Like, he's such a creep,

he's minging.

You know, Beth

What? I texted you, I

I asked you to come,

and you just ignored me.

I told you she needed someone.

I know, but I, I was with my gran.

I thought you said your dad

had cut his hand?

Yeah, he did,

butafter that I was with my gran.

You're just full of sh*t, Beth.

You've just left me to look after

her, and I can't do it by myself.

I'm sorry. I don't care

if you're sorry

because it's too f*cking late now.

What do you mean, Trav?

Trav, just I would never

have let you down. font c

Hiya, um, I was wondering,

have you had an order placed

for Dilwyn or Trina?

No worries. Thanks.

They're not there. Well, this

is your father we're talking

One guess where he'll be. Yeah.

Watch out, it's the old bill.

Well, as I live and breathe.

Is this a mirage I see before me?

All right, Cliff, I haven't seen you

since you were stood on this bar

jiggling your t*ts.

Hey, these aren't t*ts,

they're love handles.

All right, call them what you like.

Oh, this is never little Beth?

Yeah, that's my girl!

Doing her GCSEs soon.

You going to uni, aren't you?

Yeah, um, has my dad been in today?

No. My takings are down. Elaine!

You haven't seen Dilly Gwyndaff,

have you?

Today, no, our takings are down.

HE LAUGHS

That's what I just said!

Well, um, does he drink anywhere

else? Do you know?

No, we're the only ones stupid

enough to have him in.

Last week, I caught him out the back

pissing on my flower bed.

The little sod. Anyone would think

I dragged him up.

What are you so scared about?

What about Beth?

My mother can watch her.

Oh, come on, Trin. Have a drink,

don't leave me drinking on my own.

Come on.

There we go. Good girl.

Nice, isn't it?

There's a nice caravan park

not far from here.

I'll go rent us one for the night,

Trin, I'm trying to be nice. I'm

trying to do something nice for you.

I'll go home now.

I want to see Beth. No, no.

You're going to hurt yourself.

Right.

We're having a few nights away,

me and you, all right?

Another time, Dil, not now. I want

off this cliff.

Up to you. Choose.

Have you tried calling them?

Well, we're not thick, are we?

They left their phones at home.

We know he's done something.

We don't know. I do.

I reckon he's run out of petrol,

or he's lost track of time

or something.

You'll have to call the police

and ask them to bring her in.

Look, I just said this to her,

we don't need to involve

the police, it's just bringing

trouble to our door.

Sorry, Trina's on the Section 17,

if she goes AWOL, I have to

call the police.

It's not a choice.
