The Wives (2024) s01e03 Episode Script

1
She was gambling. Annabelle?
And now I can't get
my hands on a single penny
without that death certificate.
We've got less than 500 quid
in our account,
and you wanna spend 300 of it
on a flight to go back home?
I'm gonna sell the apartment.
You work your magic.
I'm sure I could get
a seriously sexy number.
How much? Enough to get you that
yoga studio you've always wanted.
So he was seeing her
when Annabelle was still alive?
Sean didn't know?
You're getting married to her?
I think Jade had something to do
with her death.
I'm gonna tell him tonight
it's over and I'm taking Sky.
She called you?
Mm.
It's just for a couple of days.
Can you do something for me?
Hm?
Can you spend some time with Jade?
I-I think you might get to like her
if you give her a chance.
I don't need to like her.
Sky.
She's gonna be part
of the family now, so
Oh, and, er, don't let
your mad aunties lead you astray.
They'd have to notice me first.
If anyone who's looking for us
finds out that you're back there,
then
They won't.
OK? I'm gonna fix this.
I'll be coming back with a job
in the company. We're sorted.
Oh, give the boys a hug from me.
Tell them to enjoy their holiday
and say, "Look, don't worry
about your poor old mum,
"sat by the phone
waiting for proof of life."
Or she could use some of her
spare time to write that novel.
I have started it!
Oh, you've started it.
Go. You can go now.
OK.
Charlie! You forgot something.
Oh!
Mm.
Mm.
Think he's told Caroline about her?
Charlie's still got his scrotum,
so I'm guessing that Mommy dearest
is none the wiser.
I can't watch that.
I can't believe
you've had enough of me already.
The sooner I get
this death certificate lodged,
the sooner
we can move on with our plans.
Look, listen, erm
..don't feel you have to spend time
with the others while I'm away.
This is your holiday.
You just, you know, do what you do.
Separately, you know?
You're worried they're gonna tell me
all your dirty little secrets?
You ARE my dirty little secret.
About bloody time.
# Hey, now that you lied to my face
# Truth twisted up
In your worn-out cliches
# You can run
But you haven't hidden
# Loving you is forbidden
Crushed by the weight of your lies
# Sweet little lies
You tell me I'm under your spell. #
Oh! Oh.
Someone's been busy.
So, here's what we know so far.
Just over a year ago, Annabelle
Morgan went out and never came home.
The next morning,
a hill walker found her phone
at the top of St Thomas' Bay.
She didn't leave a note,
so we don't think it was suicide.
No, she would never leave Sky.
Exactly.
Local police decided
it was a tragic accident.
She simply slipped and fell.
However, it has since come to light
that she planned to leave
her philandering husband.
Hang on. Why is my face there?
Because you're the only person
she told
and that gives Charlie a motive.
TASH CHUCKLES
One year later, this guy meets the
not-so-grieving widower in an alley.
Charlie hands him a bag of cash,
and hey presto,
receives a death certificate
years ahead of schedule.
What we need is rock solid proof
that Charlie paid for
that death certificate.
We need to find out who this is.
And we need to speak to Jade.
Well, isn't it gonna be a bit weird
if we start cosying up to her now?
She already thinks I'm weird.
You get Jade to come to dinner
and I'll find out who this is.
Yes, Tash.
What about me? What do I do?
Do what you do best. Go shopping.
Oh, Jade. Can I have a quick word?
Jade?
Jade
INHALES THEN EXHALES
You can't just stop
in the middle of a meditation.
Oh, right. Sorry.
Yeah, no, it looked hard.
I can hardly put my knickers on
without falling over.
Well, you need to work on your core.
It's really important
for women your age.
Thanks.
Lie down.
I can show you an exercise.
Er, no. I'm fine, I actually just
It's dead easy. My nan could do it.
Come on.
SHE CHUCKLES
On the mat, Beth.
Oh, OK.
I mean, I can I can lie down.
Yeah?
I can do that. Yeah.
All right,
so we want those knees bent.
Jam those heels into the mat.
That's it.
Squeeze the bum really tight.
Lift those hips up.
Imagine you're having sex
with Frankie or anyone.
Man. Woman. We don't judge.
Oh!
Higher.
OK, lower 'em down. That's it.
You're gonna give me
six more of them.
OK. Erm
Do you want to come for dinner?
Are you asking me out, Beth?
What? No.
Four more. Keep going. Come on.
No, it's just
it's a little tradition
with the girls
that if the boys go back home,
for work or tennis or whatever,
then, erm, then we all get together
at Sylvie's.
Did Charlie tell you to invite me?
No. No, I just thought
it might be a nice chance
for us all to get to know each other
a bit better,
since you're gonna become one of us
soon.
One of the wives.
Hey. You know how
I'm your favourite aunt?
All right,
I know you and Beth are close,
but we're more like mates,
aren't we?
Only when you want something.
OK, look, erm, is there a way
of finding out someone's name
if you have a photo of them?
Oh, so you're a stalker now?
Oh. Oh, please tell me this
isn't the guy you're riding.
I mean, you can sleep with
who you want, but
Oh, that's very generous of you.
Thank you, but, no, not my type.
Apparently,
he is a local businessman,
and he's got links to property
for sale in the area,
so he could be a contact for me.
And you've never heard
of social media?
Excuse me, I had online profiles
before you were even born.
Yeah, but you can't text and talk
at the same time, so
Rude. What are you doing?
Asking the hive mind.
Where was this taken?
Er, around the corner
from Cafe Zeus.
By Cafe Zeus.
Now we wait.
You are a genius.
It's really not that hard.
LAUGHS
Oh!
Oh, for
It's been declined.
Er, sorry, I'll just
I'll just try again.
Can I put the pin in? Yeah?
Er, sorry. Can I just, erm Sorry.
Do you have another card?
Erm, can I just get rid of a few
of these things maybe, instead?
It's OK, I got this, I got this.
You
Grazi, Daniela.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Once we move all the funds around
and stuff, we'll be back on track,
but it's just, erm
In fact, my husband
has flown home today to just
get it all sorted out as we speak.
But thank you.
And I will pay you back
as soon as it is all sorted.
Oh, no, it's no problem.
Call it a gesture of goodwill.
Really?
Mm. Anything for Sylvie's family.
You know Sylvie?
We're friends.
And I've seen you at the complex.
Right.
OK. Would you mind, erm
Would you mind not mentioning
any of this to her?
It's just, I don't want her to think
that we've got money problems.
She'll only worry about it.
She has a good heart.
Yeah, she does. Exactly.
And I don't wanna make her anxious.
Not, you know,
when I've got it all under control.
It's OK. Your secret's safe with me.
I know that you shouldn't lie
to your friends.
My first date with Sylvie,
she wanted to split the bill.
I'm a romantic.
I can't let the lady pay,
so I told her it's on the house,
my uncle is the owner.
What, and he's not?
No, he is,
but he still makes me pay for food.
Oh!
Look, my point is we all
tell white lies from time to time.
For pride, for love. Whatever.
Thank you.
Sky? Sky, are you about?
Beth's asked us round
to Sylvie's for tea tonight.
I know.
Well, I thought
we might nip into town
and get a dessert
from one of those nice bakeries.
No, Sylvie will make something.
We don't wanna rock up empty-handed,
do we?
You're not gonna win them over
with cheesy coconut balls.
Who said
I was trying to win anyone over?
They can take me as I am
or not at all.
It'll be not at all, then.
Suits me.
How about you don't come on
these family holidays,
since you're better than everyone?
I never said that. It's not like
anyone wants you here, is it?
Your dad does. But you're right.
I won't be coming here much longer,
not after he sells the place.
So this bloke, Vinay
Vinay Taneja.
..is an actual government official?
Yes, Sky found out, he works
for the British Consulate.
So the death certificate's legit,
then?
Yeah. Wow.
Hm. And the cash was for
Just pushing it through the system
so Charlie didn't have to wait
for the seven years
or whatever it is.
I don't know.
Still feels a bit dodgy, doesn't it?
LOCK RATTLES,
DOOR OPENS
Oh, I've left the wine
in the fridge.
Sorry. Shit.
BUZZER
Game face is on.
OK. Seriously,
we need to talk to that guy Vinay.
Please don't say anything about
your dad selling the apartment.
It'll only cause bother.
Hi.
Hello!
Sorry. I've just left some wine,
I'll be back in a sec.
Hi.
Hello.
You look gorgeous.
Thank you.
Hiya.
Hello.
DOOR OPENS
So there I was
in a crescent lunge, right,
I've got my arms up over my head
and I'm really focusing on my form.
I don't notice that
the instructor's stood behind me
until I realise
I've been cupping his balls.
THEY GASP
No!
Yes.
Maybe I should take it up!
You know what, though?
There's nowt like
doing it in the sun.
Are you talking about yoga still
or I don't know, to be fair.
She had me thrusting earlier,
it didn't feel like yoga.
How much do reckon this place
is worth, Aunt Sylvie?
I am not talking shop tonight.
Et voila.
Ah!
Ooh. And this is why we do this
every year.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
The cake, I mean.
Auntie Tash will scoff it all if
you're not careful. Not even sorry.
You've hardly touched a drop.
I'm not a big drinker.
I don't like the feeling
of not being in control.
Why?
In case you accidentally
spill the beans?
What's this about?
Dad's selling the apartment.
What? That can't be right!
Nothing's been decided.
Let's just have a nice evening,
shall we?
Sky?
I'll go after her.
And that is why
I'm never having kids.
Er, she's upset.
She's always upset.
Her mum died!
She's allowed to be fragile.
You know what it's like,
losing a parent, right?
Mm.
Oh, so you said yes, then.
Yeah.
Yeah. I thought we'd have
to wait longer, to be honest, but
Well, luckily,
Charlie sped things up.
Who do you have to bribe for that,
eh?
Have you set a date yet?
Er, no.
No, we're not in a rush, though.
We've got plans for the future.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I'm setting up a yoga studio.
We're looking for a space to buy
at the moment.
What, you and Charlie?
Yeah.
Is that why you're selling
the apartment?
Starting a business is not cheap,
is it? Charlie deals with all that.
It's his money, so
Oh! Get it over with, then.
What? The bit where you tell me
I was out of order.
I'm not here for that.
I brought you some cake.
It's lush. If I say so myself.
Thanks.
It's a bit weird here, isn't it?
Without your mum.
Soon, you are gonna be old enough
to make all your own decisions
about where you go on holiday.
Travel the world, anywhere you like.
I like it here, though. It's like
Go on.
It's like I can feel her everywhere.
Like she's all around.
Does that sound stupid?
No!
This was your mum's favourite place
in the whole world.
It was the last place
we were all together.
It's always gonna feel special.
Then why is Dad
trying to sell the apartment?
Look, your dad is an impulsive guy.
He gets carried away with big ideas.
Yeah, and he always gets
what he wants. No, not always.
Not if I've got anything
to do with it.
Me, Beth and Tash.
We've got your back, OK?
I promise.
Now, just please stop worrying about
things that might never happen.
Just try and live in the moment.
Make the most of being here.
How is she?
Poor kid's gutted.
This is her second home. It's
her connection to her mum. Yeah.
Charlie hasn't thought about how
this will affect her. Selfish prick.
Well, we all know
who's pulling the strings, don't we?
No, Beth
No, it's not working, is it?
Jade?
Hm? Was it your idea
to sell the apartment?
Cos we all know you've got
no problem breaking up families.
Excuse me? No, I'm done with it,
Jade. The lies.
We all are, actually.
Yeah, and we know you and Charlie
were shagging before Annabel died.
I heard you on the phone saying
you'd been together two years,
and I think you were talking
to your dad, so, you know, not dead.
Is that why you invited me for
dinner, then, is it, to have a go?
No. I mean, we do wanna ask you
a few questions, but
Yeah, you know what,
you can judge me all you want. Yes.
I had an affair. It's not a crime.
You destroyed Annabel's life.
Why are you so obsessed
with your dead sister-in-law?
Is this what happens
when you don't have to work?
You swan about with a glass of wine,
sticking your nose in other
people's business? It's not normal.
This, none of this is normal.
But you don't know
what normal is any more, do you?
This isn't about me.
This is about Annabelle.
Stop making out like
she was some kind of saint
when the fact is,
she's been lying to you for years.
You make out like
you're this close family.
"We spend every summer together."
You don't care about Charlie!
You'd rather he never moved on and
spent the rest of his days grieving.
Was he ever actually grieving?
Oh, fuck off.
It broke him,
the night she went missing.
He was terrified.
He couldn't breathe.
You were with him?
Yeah. Yeah.
I flew out to surprise him.
The lads told us that they were
all together at the tennis club.
Charlie was at the hotel with me.
It's in our police statements.
Why would they lie to us? He didn't
want you finding out about us.
There you go. Now you know.
SHE SCOFFS
You know, you lot call me a liar,
but this entire family's
based on lies.
And you know what I'm on about,
cos you're all at it.
Every single one of you.
I can't believe that Sean
has lied to me all this time.
Well, they were all at it.
Tom looked me straight in the eye
and he swore
that they were all together.
Look, I know, but me and Sean,
we're solid.
What? You know,
we tell each other everything.
That makes it worse for you,
does it?
No, that's not what she meant.
Back her up, why don't you?
Just cos Tom and I weren't in
a great place What?!
..doesn't mean that I'm OK
with being taken for one.
That is not what I meant.
Why are you taking this
so personally?
That was music to your ears.
Your Charlie,
he's got an alibi,
he couldn't have done it.
It's called family loyalty.
Well, there is no family any more.
Maybe we should all sell up instead
of pretending nothing's changed.
You know what?
If I never saw another Morgan
for the rest of my life,
it'd be a fucking relief.
You know where the door is.
Beth.
'British consulate. Can I help you?'
Yes. Hello.
I'd like to make an appointment
with Vinay Taneja.
DOOR BUZZER
Beth, it's Sylvie.
Beth, I need to talk to you.
Aunt Sylvie.
Will you please drop the aunt?
I think we both know
I'm way too cool. You OK?
Good. Yeah, good.
So, I went down a rabbit hole
about your mate Vinay.
He's got a wife, no kids,
and I know where he lives.
Fine. He's a competitor. He's taken
way too many of my clients.
Spying on the enemy.
You're a bad bitch.
Explain again
why you're coming with me.
Because I found him.
Well, it's not like you got me
an actual address.
You're assuming. Yeah.
And I'm a kid, not MI5.
Also, ungrateful.
No, I am grateful.
But if Beth finds out
I roped you into this,
I'm toast.
That's the house in his profile pic.
Thank you.
Why don't we just knock on the door?
And say what?
Jehovah's witnesses?
Come on.
We're just here
to get the lie of the land.
There's Vinay!
SHE GASPS
Do you think his wife knows
he's banging the pool boy?
Shh!
Bag, please.
Turn around, please.
OK.
OK. OK. Thank you.
Erm, I should have an appointment
for Vinay Taneja.
Mr Taneja's running a little late.
Take a seat in the waiting area.
OK. Thanks.
PHONE RINGING
SHE SIGHS
No, I can't sell them, Sean.
Right, so they're breast pumps,
but the little electrical pack's
missing.
'The what?' The bit that does
the pump, and it's quite important.
'Oh, they'll be fine.'
Yeah. So essentially,
what you have bought
are footy cones.
'You sound wound up.'
Of course I'm wound up.
I've got 70 of the bloody things
that I need to try and sell.
Have you spoken to Frankie?
'Not yet, but I will.
'It's been busy over here.'
BUZZER
I've gotta go.
Someone's at the door.
Good morning, Natasha.
Er, hi. Yeah, come on in.
I was thinking
about your predicament.
Er, yes. Erm
Yeah, no, that's all sorted now.
I've just actually been on the phone
to my husband, as it happens.
I will get the money back to you
for the groceries
just as soon as that money
hits my account.
I just want to help.
Why do you think I need help?
I need you to look after something
for me here for a few days.
And you'd be paid, of course.
Right, and what is it exactly
that would need looking after?
Drugs?
No. No.
It's nothing legal, though, is it?
Why me?
Nice English lady
with the fancy apartment.
No-one's asking you any questions.
I'm guessing ten grand
would seem fair?
BUZZER AND KNOCKING
Tash?
Oh, my You have to go.
You have to go right now.
My number, in case you change
your mind. Please. Can you go?
Tash, are you there?
I'll call you back. Yeah. Bye.
Sorry. Just on the phone.
Beth's gone off at the deep end.
Have you only just noticed?
She's gone to the British consulate
to speak to Vinay.
So, do you think that she's asking
about the the death certificate?
No,
she's applying for citizenship (!)
Obviously, she's gonna ask about it.
We need to stop her.
That man is clearly corrupt.
She's not gonna confront him
on her own, is she?
Have you met her recently?
Er, I'll just get my car keys.
Come on.
Oh, you look nice.
Going into town.
Hot date?
Do you need a lift?
No, thanks.
Are you worried he'll fancy me more?
Fine. Walk there.
It's only 30 degrees and boys
will love the smell of sweat.
I'm not going to meet a boy.
I'm going to do something
I used to do with my mum,
which is none of your business.
I hope you used plenty of deodorant.
So these guys that you meet online,
how long do you usually keep 'em?
They're not pets, Tash.
No, I'm just wondering how long
you give it before you move on.
Depends how soon they bore me.
What about this current one?
Is he boring you yet? Mm.
What, so you talk, then?
Of course we talk.
Have we unpacked his childhood
and our shared traumas? No.
Tom got to reinvent himself,
so why shouldn't I?
I just don't wanna see you
getting hurt, that's all.
It's just a bit of fun, Tash.
I'm not looking for
the grand romance like you and Sean.
Come in, come in. Take a seat.
Oh, that looks sore.
Pain doesn't bother me.
I had a fight with some stairs.
So, what can I do for you?
Yes.
Erm, I need a birth certificate.
Well,
you've come to the right place.
Just get the necessary paperwork.
Yeah, the thing is, my
my situation's a bit complicated,
so I was hoping
that you might be able
SOFTLY: ..might be able
to bend a few rules,
maybe come to
some kind of arrangement.
I got your name from a friend.
It was Charlie Morgan.
I don't know anyone by that name.
No, but he said that you could
sort me out for the right price.
You've made a mistake. No,
because I saw you with him, so
Either you leave now,
or I call the police
and report you for trying to bribe
a government official.
Please, just-just tell me.
Tell me why he paid you
for a death certificate.
Cos I do know that.
Security.
No Look, I'm not I just
All right! No.
All I need to know is
Get off me!
I need to know what happened
to my friend. That's all I'm
Beth!
Are you OK? What happened?
I just
Well, the memorial was supposed
to give us all closure, wasn't it?
But it hasn't. It's just
It's all just such a mess.
I knew for a year
that something wasn't right
about the way Annabel died
and I did nothing for a whole year.
There he is. Well,
he's not gonna tell you anything.
We'll see about that. Stay with her.
Sylvie, you've literally just said
it's not safe to tackle him
on our own.
If there's the slightest chance
that Charlie could go to prison
for what he's done,
I'm getting proof.
Mr Taneja.
What's your connection
to Charlie Morgan?
I dropped by your house earlier.
It's a beautiful property.
Lots of very attractive features.
You must have
a brilliant maintenance team.
Or is it just one man?
One very fit, handsome young man.
I'm not judging. I'm an ally.
Firm believer that love is love.
I'm just not sure your wife
would share my views on that.
Meet me there in 30 minutes.
Hi.
Hi.
Erm, I have a reservation
for Sky Morgan.
Mm-hm. A booking for one, yes?
Yes.
This is it.
Oh.
Anyone fancy a mojito?
Let's keep our wits about us.
You are guests of Mr Taneja, yes?
That's right. He has reserved the
VIP area for you. Follow me, please.
DOOR SLAMS
Oi, what's happening? Oi!
Open the door. Open the door!
Oh, thanks, Mum.
Oh, you're welcome.
WOMEN CHATTER INDISTINCTLY
Help! Help!
Help! Help!
No-one's coming, Tash.
You can't just leave us here!
We haven't done anything wrong.
Hey!
LIVELY CHATTER
Help!
Jesus, Tash, give it a rest!
Why are we even down here?
What did you say to him?
Me?
Yeah. You must have said something
if he's trapped us down here.
Oh, so this is on me? Course it is,
I don't know why I'm surprised.
Yeah, great. Here we go (!)
More fool me for thinking that
we were all in this together.
No, let's blame Sylv. Just like
we blamed her for the divorce.
I didn't blame you.
Really? Is that why nobody
bothered to call me?
Not one of you bothered to call me
when I was jettisoned
from the family!
Oh, right,
so is that why you didn't tell us
about Charlie selling the apartment?
I saw your face when Sky told us.
You already knew.
Jade was right.
We're not close. Not like we were.
We used to talk.
We used to have each other's backs.
We still do.
I didn't have Annabelle's back,
did I?
When she called me
the night she died.
I should have told you, shouldn't I?
We might have been able to help her.
She might still be here
if I'd told you.
We're all liars.
That's what Jade said.
I mean, what happened to us?
OK.
Yeah, I knew that Charlie
was selling the apartment.
Knew it.
He asked me to help him,
and I need the money,
so I'm sorry that I didn't tell you.
Oh, and, erm, we slept together
this year after Tom left.
Oh, my God!
Are you serious?
Don't ask me why cos I don't know.
I don't know. It was stupid.
It's hardly an excuse, Sylvie.
And I was lonely.
And not because of Tom.
It wasn't about him.
You had no support.
One minute I had friends and family
and the next and he was there.
He was safe and familiar.
Cheating on his wife
and his mistress.
What a guy.
I should have called you
when Tom left, and I'm sorry.
Me too.
It's all right.
I'd have only had to listen to you
banging on about the house.
There is no house.
We've lost it.
We've lost everything.
What?
Me and Sean have, erm
..been hiding out here
for two months
from all the people
that we owe money to.
It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.
So, that's it.
That's all the skeletons
out in the open.
No more secrets. Yeah?
Sylvie what's up?
There's something else?
Just say it.
I've been keeping something from you
for years.
Charlie's infertile.
Well, no, he's got Sky.
He's
He's not her real father.
Thank you.
Mr Charles Morgan?
Erm, yeah, it's my dad's card.
Is he here?
No.
Do you have his permission
to use his card?
Of course.
I'm afraid I'll need to speak
to the cardholder
before I can process payment.
Erm, well, he's he's unavailable.
Do you have another way to pay?
Erm yeah. One sec.

'Hi, this is Beth.
Please leave a message.'
BUSY TONE
RINGING TONE
'Hi, this is Tash. I can't answer
right now. You know what to do.'
Oh, no, no. I feel sick.
Did Annabelle know that
Charlie wasn't Sky's real dad?
She begged me not to say anything.
Why would she tell you and not me?
Because I already knew,
cos Charlie told me
when we were together,
so when Annabelle got pregnant
So, who is the actual father, then?
She never said.
All these years,
I thought we were best friends.
Expensive pedicure, was it?
Where's the bill?
Here.
And your dad's card?
Yeah. Well, I only took it because
he hasn't paid my allowance in ages.
Why have you had a facial?
Because they offered.
And I thought it was free
with the massage.
All right. Come on.
I'd like to settle
the young girl's bill, please.
Of course.
How would you like to pay?
Er, card. Sorry about the mix-up.
That's all right. It's just
company policy, you understand?
Absolutely, yeah.
Is it also a company policy
to upsell a minor?
I mean, who offers a facial
to a teenager with flawless skin
and then charges her
for the most expensive one?
Is that what this place is about?
You think it's OK
to take advantage of a kid?
She booked for a massage
and a pedicure.
And that's all I'm paying for.
INDISTINC
You see, one of the reasons
I was so sure
that Charlie would never have killed
Annabelle was Sky.
I just never believed he'd do that
to his own daughter.
But if she's not his

SHE GASPS
We're not looking for trouble.
Too late for that.
You're not gonna hurt us.
No Tash, shut up!
Three women, all from
the same family, all go missing?
There's no way you're gonna be able
to sweep that under the carpet.
Is that so?
Yes, it is so.
Especially when the last place
that one of them was seen
was at the consulate, meeting you,
all officially booked in.
Yeah? And I'm guessing on CCTV.
Yeah? Yeah?
So, so I reckon that the best thing
that you can do right now
is just to let us out of here,
and that can be the end of it.
You think you get to call the shots?
I'm not stupid enough to hurt you.
You can go. But you're meddling
in dangerous things here.
There are many questionable
individuals on this island
who owe me a favour, people who can
make you disappear without a trace.
All it takes is a phone call.
Wait, wait. No! I need to know
what happened to Annabelle,
what happened to my friend.
Please. Charlie
must have said something to you.
Look, Charlie and the other guy
wanted a death certificate.
What other guy?
The end.
There was someone else?
What did he look like?
'I know you've asked me to send
the money across for the treatments,
'but things are, well, hectic here.
'So can we sort it out
when I get back? Thanks. Love you.'

All right?
Yeah.
Why did you help me?
Cos you asked.
But I've been such a cow to you.
You're a kid
who's just lost her mum.
You've been dumped miles away from
home with someone you barely know.
I'd be a cow to me, too.
Well, I just wanted to say thanks,
and I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to replace anyone,
you know.
Your mum will always be your mum.
But I don't want us to be enemies,
you know? Life's too short for that.
Well, does that mean that
you won't treat me like a kid?
Like, keeping secrets from me
like the others do.
Yeah, but you're gonna have to
stop acting like a spoilt kid.
You think I'm spoiled?
I think you've got a lot of things
that most people'll never have.
But I think you've had a tough time.
And I understand that.
The spa today, was that, erm
was it a special occasion,
your mum's birthday or?
Just something we used to do.
I realised
I didn't know when that was.
I feel terrible you're dealing with
something like that on your own,
you know.
22nd of November.
She'd have been 45 this year.
Night, then.
Night.
If it was one of the brothers,
then they'd know what Charlie did.
Yeah, they'd help cover it up.
You don't think
What?
Well, what if they're all in on it?
What if they all knew what happened
to Annabelle all along
and they've been hiding it from us?
