[Lily] Oh, thanks.

[Abby] Lils. Lily.

Oh, relax.

Come on,
you don't even need that stuff.

Yeah, I know, but I like it.

Hey. It'd look good on you.

Uh, no.

-[Eve] Girls!
-[both] We're coming!

Lily, please.

What are they gonna do?
It's the last day.

Right, just don't be late, okay?

I won't.

Girls!

-The last one out is...

We know!

Oh, look at you.

I can't believe
it's my twins' last day.

Oh, Mum, it's fine,

[principal] Congratulations,
A-Level students,

on your final day of classes.

It's just...

it's always been me,
Mum and Lily, you know?

I get it, but uni's a big deal.

They'll be proud of you.

I only got in because
you helped with the letter.

We both know that's not true.

You're the best
student I've had.

That essay you wrote for me
about the romantics,

it's like you really
get what they're about.

I haven't seen that since...

Since me, actually.

Abby, when I meet
a student like you,

what I want is to see them fly.

It's a big world out there,

especially
for somebody like you.

Sometimes the people
we're closest to don't see that,

because they're so used
to seeing us a certain way.

You know what I mean?

I think so.

I see you, Abby.

I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Mr. Handsome.

Hanson. Mr. Hanson.

I, uh, thought you'd have that,

seeing as it's my last day
as your English teacher.

And, hey, you can start
calling me Rick now.

Thanks, Rick.

Go on, get to your next class.

[chair squeaking]

[whispering] Abby.

Hey.

How was your talk?

-[imitating sizzling]
-Stop.

Sorry.

-[bell ringing]
-[Lily cheers]

[students laughing and cheering]

Very cool sweatshirt.

Yeah, I'll see you then.

-See you then.
-Bye.

[Wes] Lils.

Hi.

Free at last.

Mm-hmm.

See you later?

Yeah, see you later.

Hey, come on.

Let's go.

["Rock Party" by Super Pitch]

[Lily grunts]

I thought we were going
to celebrate tonight.

What, a special dinner?

Come on, Abs,
by the time Mum gets back,

that's gonna be, like,

a microwave Korma
and a box of Milk Tray.

It didn't mean the food.
We could talk.

[Lily sighs]

-Hey, smile.
-Stop.

Hey, I won't be late, okay?

Look, if mum asks,
can you just...

Yeah, I know.

All right.

Hey, I love you.

I love you.

-[Lily] See you later.
-See you later.

[door bangs shut]

Hey. Yeah, I'm on my way.

No, Mum's at work.

It's just Abby,
she's reading, as usual.

[suspenseful music]

Yeah, all right,
I'll see you there.

We're gonna get on it.

Yeah, we're gonna have

Hey, Mum.

[Eve] Hi, love.
Are you both there?

I can't get Lily on the phone.

-She's in the shower.
-[Eve] Ah, okay.

What is it, Mum?

[Eve] Listen,
I'm going to be late.

Shelley's asked me
to cover, and...

Can you girls forage?

We'll have special dinner
at the weekend, I promise.

Yeah, don't worry about it.
I'll let Lily know.

[Eve] Aw, thanks, darling.

I kinda like it.

[Archie] Good stuff, huh?

No, we're good.

Watch her, mate,
she's got you p*ssy-whipped.

-[Archie chuckles]
-Nice.

[Archie] All right, come on
then. Take another one.

Go on.

Hey, is that...

sh*t, what's she doing here?

No, don't even think about it.

-Let her party.
-She doesn't want to.

It's all right.

-Hi.
-Hey.

Are you drunk?

-That's my jacket.
-Yeah, sorry, I uh...

Yeah, don't wear
my stuff, stalker.

Wait, did you take the shortcut?

[Abby] Yeah.

[Lily] Abs, you know you're
not supposed to come that way.

I just wanted to hang out.

[Lily] Since when
do you hang out?

Since you never want
to stay home.

Oh, God, don't guilt-trip me.
I'm not in the mood.

Are you taking drugs?

-What? No.
-[Abby] You are.

-Is he making you?
-Oh, my God, Abby.

It's not a big deal.
It's, like, one pill.

Well, if it's not a big deal,
then why can't I stay?

[Lily]
Because I'm with my friends.

-I'm your sister.
-Exactly, we can talk any time.

[Wes] Looking good, Abs.

Abby was, uh, just heading home.

-No, I wasn't.
-[Lily] Yes, you are.

-Oh, she can stay if she wants.
-She doesn't want to.

What is your problem?

[Wes] Hey, come on, guys,
don't fight.

We're not fighting!

Can you just go
wait for me, okay, Wes?

Sorry.

What, is this about uni?

What, you know?

[Lily] Obviously.

And you just
didn't say anything?

Well, why would I?
It's your life.

Wait, are you wearing
my makeup, too?

-No.
-Yes, you are.

Jesus, Abby,
can you just go home?

You look f*cking mental.

Is this seriously what you
want to do with your life?

Hang out with these losers?

[Lily] Are you f*cking kidding?

Can you give that back to me?
Take it off.

Do you really think
he's all that?

Oh, I'm sorry,
I forgot you like older men.

[people chuckling]

I mean, come on, Abigail,
the English teacher, really?

Yeah, Mr. Handsome,
romantic poetry.

Oh, f*ck you.
I'm getting out.

You're going to be
just like Mum.

You're gonna be stuck
in this dump,

wiping asses in a hospital,
getting knocked up

by some guy
who walk out on you...

-[boy] Fight! Fight! Fight!
-[Archie] They're gonna fight!

-Clone Wars!
-[Wes] Shut up.

No, Abby, I'm... I'm really
sorry, I didn't mean to...

I hate you!

Lily!

-Lils!
-[Archie] Where are you going?

Oy, Wes, leave her, man.

What did you say to her?
Why'd she hit ya?

-Abs.
-Don't call me that.

You don't know me.

Twins are f*cking mental.

[Wes chuckles]

[Archie laughing]

[Lily sobbing softly]

[thunder rumbles distantly]

[Rick] Abby?

Oh, Lily? Do you want a lift?

[Lily sighs]

Thanks, Mr. Hansen.

It's a nice colour on you.

Do you want to talk about it?
Boy stuff?

[Lily] Twin stuff.

Ah.

You guys are pretty different,
aren't you?

Maybe.

It's like, I don't know,
back when we were young,

we were so...

synched up
or something, but now...

[Rick] Hm.

You know, Abby loves your class.

Especially the poetry.

Not for you, though.

It's okay.
You don't have to like poetry.

I don't know what I like.

Hm.

Oh, that's mine,
that's my turn up there.

Oh, that's okay, I can...
I can just jump out here.

Uh...

If you just pull up here,
I can jump out.

Thanks.

You had a fight?

No.

Come on, sit down,
just talk to me about it.

-No!
-All right, well,

don't wake me up
in the middle of the night

when you have
a screaming match about it.

She's not back.

[dispatch] Hello,
you're through to the police.

What's your emergency?

[Eve] Hello, I need your help.

-I can't find my daughter.
-[dispatch] How old is she?

-[Eve] She's 17.
-[dispatch] Right.

[Eve] I'm really worried.
I've called all her friends.

[dispatch]
When did you see her last?

-[Eve] Yesterday.
-[dispatch] Okay.

[Eve] No one knows where she is.

I'm really worried.
Something's wrong.

[dispatch] Right, I'm just
gonna take down some det...

[knocking softly]

There, you can file that away.

Cheers.

Morning.

This is PC Rachel Brenton.

[Rachel] Miss Riser. Abigail.

Present is DS Tommy Shah,
PC Rachel Brenton,

Eve Riser and Abigail Riser.

So, you're aware
we found the phone?

Yeah. Where?
Where'd you find it?

It was, uh, found a couple
of miles from the factory.

And it's with forensics now.

Wait, is that it?

Is that all you can tell me?
It's been two days.

We understand
your concern, Miss Riser.

Um, that's why
we'd like to go back over

some of Abigail's statements.

Abigail, could you tell us
a bit more about the party?

[Abby] Um...

It wasn't a party.
It was just people hanging out.

She wanted to hang out
with her boyfriend.

And that's Wesley?

-Wes, yeah.
-Is he still here?

[Tommy] No. No, we've confirmed
his movements,

and we're satisfied that Wesley
hasn't seen Lily since she left.

Uh, since the gathering.

Abigail, were there
any drugs at the party?

Did you see anyone
take anything?

Lily doesn't do that.

[Rachel] Abigail?

No, no, I didn't see any drugs.

Okay.

And Wes mentioned that
there was a disagreement

between you guys
that got quite heated.

Can you tell us
a little bit more about that?

[Abby] Uh...

That's okay, we're just...

trying to work out
exactly what's happened.

All right?

You're not
in any kind of trouble.

Abby?

It... it wasn't a big deal.

-She slapped me.
-What?

Why didn't you
tell me this before?

What do you mean,
she slapped you?

-What did you say to her?
-Nothing. I just...

I just wanted to talk to her.

Do you think this is my fault?

No.

Nobody's saying that, Abigail.

-[Tommy] Here you go.
-Thanks.

Sorry, tea's not
our specialty here.

[exhales sharply]

Do you have kids?

Yeah. Yeah, we do.

A boy and a girl.

I can't even...

I can't even begin to imagine
how hard this is for you.

Thanks.

-Now, Miss Riser, we...
-Eve.

Tommy.

Eve, we'd like you
to make an appeal.

[Eve sighs]

[birds chirping]

The end of next week
should be good,

if you want to try.

I always want to try, don't I?

[news bulletin music sting

[reporter] Police are
leading a community search

in Hollowfell Village
throughout the day,

and are appealing for volunteers

following the disappearance
of 17-year-old Lily Riser.

-[camera shutters clicking]
-[reporters murmur softly]

This...

This is a message
for my daughter, Lily.

We're looking for you, and...

we won't give up
until we find you.

And anybody out there
who has any information,

even if it doesn't seem
like much...

[Zoe] Poor woman. She's
a single mother, isn't she?

Maybe she ran away?

-Kids these days...
-How can you speak like that?

[Eve]
Anyone could be connected.

Can you imagine what that family
is dealing with right now?

We just want Lily home safe.

They must be going through hell.

I should be there.

[reporter] ...over the coming
days across Hollowfell Village,

rural and wooded areas.

[reporter 2] Police are
leading a community search

in Hollowfell Village
through the day

as they're appealing
for volunteers

following the disappearance
of 17-year-old Lily Riser.

Hey, guys.
Thanks for coming.

PC Brenton.

Eve will join us.
I'll leave her with you.

[Rachel] Hi.
How are you holding up?

[Eve] Not great.

-Tommy.
-What's going on, mate.

I know the area pretty well.
I can lead a group.

Okay, yeah, great.

Um, so today,
we're covering these areas here,

and then later, we're getting
a team to search over there.

[Rick] Maybe you should
concentrate here.

-Have you covered that?
-Not that I know of, no.

There's the railway track
and the river.

I think we should cover it,
in case, you know...

-Leave that with me.
-Okay.

How are we doing?

Uh, yeah, we've got a team
searching Kreswick Forest.

Our job today
is to cover Hollowfell Forest,

and the shortcut.

Oh, and change of plan.

Later, we're going
to be searching

the railway and the river.

-Copy that.
-All right.

[Abby] What are you doing here?

It's the bad twin.

Wes says
they really went after him.

-Good.
-You're the one

who showed up out of nowhere
and kicked off, though.

You didn't tell the feds
about the pills, did you?

Why don't you
just f*ck off, Archie?

Hey.

Is everything all right here?

It's all good.

How about you back off, then?

You okay?

Yeah.

Come on.
You're in my group.

We're going to find her.

Six years of Boy Scouts had to
come in handy at some point.

All right, everyone,
let's move out.

Actually, you know what?

I'm sorry.
That was patronizing.

I can't imagine
what you're going through.

Thanks, Mr. Hansen.

Hey.

What did we agree?

Rick.

Do you think maybe there was
stuff going on with Lily

that she didn't want you
to know about?

What do you mean?

[Rick] Her boyfriend.

[Abby] What, Wes?

He's a bit dodgy, isn't he?

I was thinking maybe you
picked up a vibe from him, too.

Teachers pick up on stuff.

It's just so messed up.

None of this is your fault.

Tell my mum that. [sniffles]

Tell all the people
looking at me like I'm a...

freak.

[Rick] Hey.

It's okay.

Let it all out.

-It's okay.

Me and half the town.

Hunger's good sauce, right?

[Lily breathes shallowly]

Why are you doing this?

[screaming] Help!

[grunts]

Help! Somebody!

-Nobody can hear you.
-[Lily screaming] Somebody!

Help!

Help!

Please! [sobbing]

You're going to behave now.

[disturbing music]

Does that help?

[Eve sighs]

They'll find her, Mum.

It's only been a couple of days.

Abby, is there something
you're not telling me?

-Is it about Wes?
-What?

-Because you can...
-No.

...you can tell the truth,
you just have to be

-honest with me.
-Mum, stop.

But she wouldn't just
disappear like that!

She'd never leave us!

[Eve sobbing hysterically]

Oh.

[sobbing]

[door slams]

[brooding music]

[Wes] Wait!

What are you doing here?

You know, you could be
helping with the search.

Things always end up in the last
place you found them, right?

-You're here too.
-You're her boyfriend, Wes.

Why'd you let her
walk away on her own?

She was walking away from you.

Oh, f*ck off.

[Wes] No, wait, no, wait.

I didn't mean that.
No, I didn't mean it.

-No, please, no...
-Don't touch me!

I'm sorry.

What did you say to the police?

I didn't tell them
about the drugs.

I don't care. Tell them.

[Abby] Then what?

They'll start saying
she did it herself.

That's what they always say
if you're not perfect.

-Abs.
-Don't call me that!

[car rumbles]

[Rick] Abby.

Here. Get in.

So, he was just
hanging around the factory?

That doesn't look good, Abby.

How do you know
he's not involved?

Boys his age
get some messed-up ideas,

especially about girls.

The police said
he didn't do anything.

That doesn't always mean
what it looks like.

Listen.

If Wes does anything
that makes you scared,

if anyone does...

I want you to tell me, okay?

Okay?

Okay.

Good.

You've got to think about
yourself as well, you know?

There's exams, uni.

It's a big world, remember?

Yeah, and she's lost in it.

Oh, uh, that's the turn.

Sorry.
Don't know where my head's at.

You can just, um...

[car shuts off]

I'll check in with you.

Make sure you and your mum
are hanging in.

Thanks, Rick.
