[bunniefuu]

Maisy and Cleo were mates.

They went to the
stables together.

They were doing
drugs together there.

You think Maisy was
buying off the McKellers?

But if you've given 'em

to little kids... Misty
wasn't a little kid.

'I've never heard
anyone call her Misty.'

PAUL: 'There was an
incident at school.

'She got into a
fight with Aashna.'

She flipped, attacked
me, because I told people

that she was going out
with a drug dealer.

ELAINE: 'And you come telling me
how to look after my daughter?'

Who was looking after yours, eh?

REMY: 'Well, a week
before she disappeared,

'she called the police.

'She said she had information
she wanted to share

'about Maisy's m*rder.'
It's Grandad. He's gone.

'The funeral's gonna
be in a few days.

'If you're allowed,
will you come?'

Sorry to hear about your dad.

Your Teddy's got
no-one out there now.

No-one looking out for him.

You've gotta leave.
Dad, please, just stop.

I'm sorry, son, I can't.

You're dead, Charlie!

Charles, it's me. I think
I know who took her.

Aren't they taking you to seg?

No. Why not?

Cos Karl kept his mouth shut.

They don't want me in
isolation. They want out here.

Can't you tell them?

The warden? Tell them
you're in danger, and...

That doesn't matter any more.

Even if they can protect me,
they can't protect my boy.

They'll be coming for him now.

Oi.

Don't worry.

It's me they're after, not you.

Hi.

Hi.

What happened there?
Nothing. Look, don't worry.

Right, listen. I, erm...

Yeah, I met with Lee
McKeller, Roman's lad.

I think he was
Maisy's boyfriend.

He was the one giving her and
Cleo drugs at the stables,

and they all knew each other.

I think Lee k*lled Maisy...

..and I think Cleo
knows about it.

And I think that's why
he's done something to her.

Obviously, Roman's
covering it up.

So...

Yeah.

Charles, I believe you.

Do you know, I never thought
I'd hear you say those words.

Thank you.

But it's over.

It's done. We have to stop now.

What are you talking about? I
went too far, and I lost control.

Right.

McKellers got to you, did they?

I'm not scared.
I'm not gonna stop.

You need to, or you'll get hurt.

No, no. You... You
pulled me into this,

and now you want
me to back away?

You have to.

What are you gonna
do? Stay in prison?

I've got no choice. Not now
my boy's left in danger.

Yeah, my girl's life
was in danger, remember?

I know how that feels.

Do you know what? I've never
said this out loud before,

but that night...

'..I went out and I had a
drink, cos that's what I did.

'And then she texts me
because she was scared.

'And do you know what I did?

'I ignored it.

'I ignored it.'

LAUGHTER

And all I ever do is wonder
what would've happened

if I could've got home,

if I'd have read that text,

if I'd have saved her.

And now you want
me to back away?

I have to find out who
k*lled my daughter,

and I want them to suffer.

I know.

But I can't help you any more.

You have to help me
get to Lee McKeller.

And I know he knew my daughter
- he called her Misty. What?

No-one called her Misty.

The car, Cleo, everything
is pointing to this lad,

and all of a sudden,
you wanna step away?

Don't contact me again.

All right? Don't contact me again.
No, don't you dare do this to me.

Oi, Charles! Don't
contact me again. Charles.

f*ck!

Jamal, I need to
make a private call.

Can you give me some space?

Where's my phone? Jamal?

I'm sorry.

They said it was you or me.

PHONE RINGS

Remy.

'I've only got a
couple of minutes.'

Did you get my
message about Lee?

'Yeah.'

OK. Did you arrest him?

'On what charge?'

What about the car?

Look, can they not check
the plates? Search it?

'No. No, you can't.
Not without a warrant.'

Well, then, get one.

'Stella, it's not that simple.'

Remy there's a girl's life
in danger. It is that simple.

'No, Stella, there's nothing I
can do without hard evidence.'

SHE SIGHS 'Now,
look, I've gotta go.

'See you later.'

STELLA: 'You said
you were set up.'

Stay with us.

Someone sent you to
my house that night.

Who?

ROMAN: 'Teddy's out there now.

'There's no-one
looking out for him.'

TEDDY: 'Dad?

'Dad?'

SCREAMING

Argh!

Argh! Argh!

Don't you make me
do this, Charlie.

Stay with us,
Charles. TEDDY: 'Dad.'

'Dad, please.' 'Say
it, Teddy. Get it out.'

Just be careful.

You've just done Lee
McKeller a right favour.

What about the address?
Don't worry. I'll make sure

it gets to the right people.
Remy, we could just go now.

With what power?
This is above me.

I can't touch that.

We need to get it to a
detective who can handle it!

Remy, I get that. I just
don't want it to be too late.

Just trust me, OK?

Stella... none of this...

LEE: f*cking hell,
Maisy, it's nice in here.

Trust me, this is the life, bro.

And I thought we were
the ones making money.

Where'd you keep the booze,
then? In the kitchen.

In the kitchen, yeah?

Oi, don't touch
my dad's whiskey.

There you go.

You warm enough?

Paul?

Do you mind turning
the heating up, please?

Why are you being so nice to me?

What do you mean?

You were looking for me.

Coming to find me.

You were missing.

I don't deserve it.

I never expected anyone
to come looking for me.

Cleo, we are gonna have to
talk about what's happened.

This Lee guy, I know about him,
he's a nasty piece of work.

It's safe here.

It's OK.

Af...

After...

..I wanted to tell
you the truth.

That's why I called the police.

But Lee said if I did...

..his dad would k*ll me, and that
I couldn't bring them into it.

I just... I had to go away.

Why?

I was here the night Maisy died.

What?

With Lee...

..and Teddy.

Teddy? As in Charles' son?

He was Maisy's boyfriend.

It wasn't. It was...

It was all so quick.

We never meant to hurt anyone..

She found out Teddy and I
were together behind her back.

sh*t, Maisy. I...
I trusted you.

I know, I know. I'm sorry. I...
And you're supposed to be my mate.

She...

Maisy got angry and
she went for Teddy.

You're having a go at me?

You're a f*cking
drug dealer, Teddy.

I didn't know. I didn't...

I didn't know what to do, Dad.

I didn't know.

Every f*cking week,
you saw me in there.

I knew that I wouldn't
stand a chance in prison.

I'm not like you.

I never wanted your life.

But you didn't give me a choice.

Come here!

You think you're so superior?!

You're just a
little girl, Maisy.

I actually feel sorry for you.

I wanted to tell you the truth.

And I felt so sh*t.

But some days, I'd...

It was easier.

I felt better, knowing
that you weren't there,

controlling me any more.

That I could live my life.

My own life, Dad!

Teddy, what have you done?

Why did you k*ll her? HE CRIES

Dad...

SLAP

Come on, let's go.

Cleo, come on. Come on.

Teddy tried to leave,
but Maisy lost it

and started saying horrible
things about my mum,

and I just wanted her to stop.

No, no, no.

You have to try and
steal my boyfriend

cos no-one else
wants ya? What?

Even your own mum don't want ya.

Maisy... Shut up.

She'd rather get smacked out
of her head... I said shut up.

Did you shag him so you'd
get some free sh*t for her?

Maisy, just shut up! Why
are you shouting at me?!

THUD

SHE CRIES

I didn't mean to k*ll her!

Cleo, whoever's making you...

..say this, if
it's the McKellers,

you need to tell me right now,
and you need to stop it, OK?

Just stop this.
Charles did this.

Charles k*lled Maisy. He
was there, Stella found him.

We set it up.

TEDDY: sh*t! sh*t! Lee,
I don't know what to do.

My dad's gonna
f*cking k*ll us, man.

Lee called his dad and
told him what we'd done.

And he said he'd sort it. We...

We didn't know
they'd send Charles.

Teddy would never have done it.

Maisy text me.

She text me to say there
was someone outside.

It was me.

I texted you so you'd come home.

No.

You text me?

Look at me.

Did you?

SOFTLY: Yeah.

Please. I'm sorry.

Please. I wanted to
die when you found me.

I couldn't live with it...
You need to stay away from me!

Please. Stay away
from me. Please.

Please. I knew
there was something.

I knew! I knew it! I
knew there was something.

I knew there was something,
but I didn't think...

Please, I really didn't
mean to k*ll her! Please!

Please. Please.

Do you know how long I thought
that I could've saved her?

I didn't mean to k*ll her. I...

I thought I could've saved her!

You made me think I
could have saved her,

and you f*cking k*lled her!

I swear to f*cking
God! Stella!

Stella! Stella! I
swear to God! Stella!

You k*lled my f*cking baby.

You k*lled my f*cking baby!
Stella! Stella! Stella!

Stella! Stella, please.

BOBBI: 'We're here today to discuss
the m*rder of Maisy Tomlinson

'on the 10th of December 2018.

'We'll listen to and respect
what everyone has to say

'so that we can work towards
something positive coming from this.

'Cleo, you've asked
for this meeting

'so you can answer any further
questions Stella and Paul might have

'about their daughter's death,
and to express your remorse.'

When you're ready, we can begin.

Hiya.

Hi.

I got you a tea.

Oh. Thanks.

I don't know how you
like it. I'm not fussy.

Thanks for coming.

You look different.

I just wanted to let you
know, erm... I'm leaving.

I just need to get away.

What about Teddy?

I wanna be in a better
place, Stella...

..for Teddy, when he gets out.

It was my fault.

Teddy never wanted my life.

I did so many things wrong.

So did I.

We all do.

You look really well.

I still have my bad days,
but... less than before.

That's something, eh?

Yeah.

I think I spoke a bit
too soon about the tea.

Yeah. HE CHUCKLES
