The Wives (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
Worst case,
they actually killed her.
Do you really want your kids
holidaying with a murderer?
So we've been looking at the one
by one, but it could be all of them.
We thought we'd surprise you.
What will you do if Tom's involved?
Kill him.
You don't know what he's capable of.
What about you, Luca?
What are you capable of?
I'm not threatened
by a teenage fling, babe.
How do I know this isn't a trap?
You won't find the answers
on there, you know.
Everything all right?
No. She's gone.
Sky's gone.
Sky!
Sky!
She's not here.
She's not here, and
she's not answering anyone's calls.
It's OK.
Jesus Christ.
HE SIGHS,
DOOR OPENS
Anything?
No sign of her.
Wait.
It I-It can't be happening again.
JADE: She can't have gone far.
Oh, got a crystal ball,
have you, Jade?
BETH: Frankie!
Well, I know, I'm sorry. I'm just
Sky's got my car.
What?
Sky has taken my car.
What?
It's gone.
That doesn't mean Sky took it. No.
The keys have gone, too, Charlie.
They were in the fruit bowl
where they always are.
No-one is breaking
into my apartment
to just steal
some clapped-out old banger.
SEAN: She's right. It has to be Sky.
She can't drive.
I think we need to go out there now
and try and find it.
No-one cares about your car, Tash.
You will do
if Sky is speeding around in it.
Why did you leave her here
on her own, Charlie? Why?
She wasn't on her own.
She was with Jade.
She barely knows Jade.
Frankie, how is this helping?
You should have brought her
back with you. Kept her safe.
You have left Josh and Jack
a million times
and sodded off to work.
Yeah, with their mother.
Frankie, this is really not
If she's in a car,
she could be miles away by now.
She could have had an accident
or anything.
Why did you even say that?
Because your feelings
are not the important thing here.
We are talking
about my daughter here.
GRUNTING,
GASPING
# Hey
Now that you lied to my face
# Too twisted up
In your worn-out cliches
# You can run
But you haven't hid
# Loving you is forbidden
# Crushed by the weight of your lies
# Sweet little lies
# The secrets you told me
Under your spell
# Sweet little lies. #
Call the police.
Report Sky missing.
Tell them she's in Tash's car.
Do we really wanna do that?
Yes, we have to.
Can we not just go and try and find
her ourselves?
Yeah, and we will do.
But Charlie's right.
She could be anywhere.
Please, Charlie, do it now.
CHARLIE: Yeah, yeah.
Frankie!
What the hell was that about?
I-I didn't mean to hit him, OK?
Attacking Charlie
I just
It didn't look like an accident.
Did something happen between you
when you went back home? No.
Look, if something did happen
It didn't. OK?
All right.
We're all anxious about Sky. Yeah?
Mm.
Let's just go and find her.
We should be out there searching
for Sky, searching for the car.
Someone needs to be here
in case she gets back.
You wanna tell me what's going on,
Tash?
Sky has gone missing,
or have you not noticed?
Why have you not answered my call
for the last few days? Huh?
Been too busy spending
the last of our money?
I needed to eat, Tash.
So go for a meal deal rather than a
three-course dinner in a restaurant.
I didn't do that. OK?
I need my charger.
If you're prepared to talk
rationally to me when I come back,
I'll be prepared to listen.
You want to explain this?
Look, you are gonna think that me
and Sylvie and Beth are mad, but
That's your chance to say
you would never think that about us.
Well, I'm stood in front of a prop
from Death In Paradise,
so I'm not ready to call it
one way or the other.
OK, erm
We think that something suspicious
has happened to Annabelle,
and we were trying to work out
who we thought might have something
to do with it.
CHARLIE: I mean, where is she?
We'll find her, babe.
If she's in Tash's car, she won't
be down these alleys, will she?
Yeah, but she could have parked
up and then headed down on foot,
for all we know.
Why would she do that?
Well, we don't know, do we, Sylv?
And we can't ask her, so
Let's not fight.
It's bad enough without us rowing.
Sky!
He's stressed.
You do know
that he's got a long history
of wrapping women
round his little finger, don't you?
My eyes are wide open
about what he's like.
But you've got history with him,
so I'll take what you say
with a pinch of salt.
I know he's your brother,
but just It does not add up.
The way that he got
the death certificate early.
The way that he brought Jade here.
Before we went back home,
Charlie told me and Frankie
that Annabelle had set up
a secret account
to leech money from the business.
You're only telling me
about that now because?
I wanted to look at the accounts
and see if there was
a logical explanation. Was there?
There is an account that's been
receiving money from the business.
Charlie is adamant
that it was Annabelle's.
What?
That doesn't make sense.
She's got her own cash.
He says that she set it up
because she was gambling.
Annabelle, gambling?
Oh, come on, surely
you don't believe that? No.
And I don't buy that
she set up the account either.
I finally got hold of Tom
to ask him.
And?
He doesn't buy it either.
Honestly, I think all these secrets
and lies are the main reason
that he's washed his hands of this
family and disappeared to Australia.
PHONE CHIMES
Ah!
Oh, you couldn't have picked
a worse moment, Tom.
Right, so, who does own
the secret account, then?
Because if it's not Annabelle,
then it has to be Charlie.
Otherwise, why would he lie?
There has to be someone who knew
it wouldn't get spotted for ages.
Oh, it's his.
Well, if it is Charlie's,
he's lucky he managed to get
as much money as he did.
One look at the accounts told me
the company's in a mess.
If it wasn't for Annabelle
paying cash in to prop it up,
it would have gone bust
a couple of years ago. Shit.
What, they're broke?
Pretty much.
What, so we've tried
to keep our situation secret
because you were worried
about what they would think,
and all this time, they were skint?
SHE SCOFFS
Well, how the mighty Morgans
have fallen.
No offence.
None taken.
The only thing
that can save them now
is the money
from Annabelle's will.
It's all here.
Charlie inherits everything which
gives him another clear motive.
I mean, are you sure she didn't say
anything? Didn't seem upset?
I told you, we had a good chat.
We cleared the air. She seemed fine.
Then why would she take off?
I don't know, Charlie.
I wish you hadn't left her alone.
I'm allowed to go out and enjoy
myself once in a while, you know.
Not when you're in charge
of a teenager.
I love Sky, but I'm not the one
who's meant to be in charge of her.
It's not fair to put that on me.
Wait, wait.
Is that what she's been saying?
Or the other two?
It's what I'm saying.
So I disappear
for a couple of days,
and they start dripping poison
in your ear about me and Sky
The whole point here is that
you should never have left.
Well, I did it for us, Jade,
so that we can be together as
a family, like we've always wanted.
Yeah, well, it seems to me
like things were better
when we were just having a thing,
so
A thing?
Are you fucking kidding me?
I have risked everything for you.
You have no idea what I've had to do
so that we can be together.
Come on. Your wife died,
and you let your mistress step up.
That is
That is literally what happened.
You think I made that happen
without a death certificate?
Come on.
There's not a cat in hell's chance
you sorted that off the books.
You're not bloody clever enough,
for one thing.
You went to
one of the poshest schools around,
and you still failed your A-levels.
Twice.
Anyway, forget all that
cos the main reason
I know full well
you're bullshitting
is cos you haven't got the balls.
You have no idea
what I'm capable of.
SEAN: I can't believe I'm a suspect.
Well, funnily enough,
your refusal to return any calls
made you highly suspicious.
It was two days, Tash,
and I did text you.
I was worried.
I'm sorry, I got caught up, OK?
Guilty of being a dick,
not a murderer.
It wasn't just that.
It was also the fact
that you completely lost the plot
when Annabelle called the loan in.
That money was meant for Alice's
education, and Annabelle knew it.
The fact that she demanded it back
overnight, not giving a shit.
Yeah, that did make me furious.
PHONE RINGS
HE SIGHS
Nico.
MAN ON PHONE, IN MALTESE:
HE STAMMERS
HE SIGHS
I can't help but worry.
And I'm sorry I didn't call.
Yeah, you should be.
I should have.
You should.
Mm-hm.
Mm.
I've got something
that I need to tell you.
Mm-hm.
Mm.
Someone asked me to keep a bag
for them.
Actually,
they paid me to keep it.
And it's in the boot of the car.
So Sky has it.
Oh, God, I hope so.
Well, what was in the bag?
Casino chips.
Like, a lot of casino chips.
You know what kind of people
own casinos, Tash?
We needed the money!
You'd gone back home. There was
virtually zero in the bank account.
They offered me ten grand.
Ten grand?
Yeah.
PHONE RINGS
A grand upfr
A grand upfront,
and then the rest of it when
Hang on, it's Charlie.
Hello?
CHARLIE: 'Tash?'
Is there any news?
'There's been an accident.'
What? Where?
Tash?
We're on our way. OK.
Yeah, yeah,
just send me the address, OK?
Where is she? Have they found her?
There's been an accident.
What?
Oh, God.
PHONE RINGS,
SHE SIGHS
It's my car.
The driver,
do you know where she is?
Didn't wait to get caught.
Could I
Could I have a look inside?
No.
Why?
It's being impounded.
It's been reported as stolen
in connection to a missing child.
SEAN: She's not here.
What do you mean?
The copper says she took off.
She's on foot.
She can't have gone far.
We're talking a small radius, right?
She could be hurt or anything.
Why the fuck would you say that?
If you're gonna start fighting
again, can you do it somewhere else?
Is there a problem here?
SEAN: No, no, sorry. We're upset.
Tempers are running high.
Fucking insane
ALL TALK AT ONCE
OK, OK, OK.
We need to search.
So now what? Well, I still say
she can't have gone far.
The question is, which way? So
If they're looking that way,
let's Shall we try this way?
Sky!
Sky!
Sky!
Sky!
Are you coming?
Yeah.
Just keep him well away from me.
Charlie
Well, I say we turn back.
We can't just give up.
Yeah, we're not giving up.
But we don't even know
if she came in this direction.
We could be walking further away
from her with every step.
Oh, let's get a drink.
Oh, yeah. Good idea.
Water, please.
We'll find her.
She's probably not that far.
Have you forgiven Sean
for going home, then?
Er, yeah, I suppose so.
I mean, he did manage to winkle
one or two things out about Charlie.
Like what?
Well, like the fact that
we were right to suspect him.
You told Sean?
No, he saw the murder boards, so
WHISPERS: Bloody hell, Tash.
No, it's a good thing.
It's a good thing
because he completely agrees
Charlie is up to his neck in it.
Why do you come here
when you can't stand the sun?
Because I love it here. It's our
It's our family's happy place.
You know it used to be.
What about you, Jade? Eh?
Why are you really here?
Could be off teaching yoga
to all the beautiful people.
Not stuck here with us.
I thought
a summer abroad would be cool.
I thought we'd have loads of fun.
Yeah?
How's that working out for you?
And it seemed
like Charlie needed me.
Turns out I was right.
So money didn't come into it, then?
Money always comes into everything.
It's only people like you that
can pretend it don't matter, Beth.
It's different
for people in my situation.
Do you mean your dad?
Been asking you for money,
hasn't he?
He's an alcoholic.
On the wagon, off the wagon,
you know.
You didn't have to lie
and say he was dead.
Look, when I met Charlie, we'd had
no contact for nearly a year.
So it was just easier
than to say
If I'd thought
we were gonna be a permanent thing,
I would've told him, but
it honestly never crossed my mind.
Now he's demanding
He's not demanding, he's asking.
My dad's not a bad man.
He's just a a weak one.
Maybe I should tell him to get lost,
but he's the only family I've got,
so
So you weren't lying about your mum?
No. She took off years before.
Definitely wasn't lying about that.
Oh, don't look at me like that.
I'm all right.
ENGINE IDLES
Thank you!
Ta.
Right, so, what's the plan?
Should we just head
back to where she crashed the car?
No, we don't have to.
She's there! Look.
ALL SHOUT: Sky!
Why are you here?
ENGINE REVS
Now look what you've done!
Sky. You're OK.
You need to go in and see your dad.
Yeah.
Where's Frankie?
Just clearing his head.
Yeah. Good idea.
Dad.
HE SNIFFS
Oh, my God!
Are you really mad at me?
Of course I'm mad at you.
I'm sorry.
Sky. Listen.
I don't think I could carry on
if anything happened to you, OK?
I mean, what were you thinking?
You can't just go off
with some stranger you met online.
You not fond of your teeth?
Won't have any left
by the time you're 20.
Anyway,
we are just glad that you're safe.
Ocean Magic knew about Mum's death.
What do you mean?
W-What did they know?
I'll never find out now,
will I, because of you lot?
Oh, no, Sky
Just Do you know what? Give her
a minute. Give her a minute.
PHONE VIBRATES
Oh, fuck off, Tom!
I didn't think
you two were speaking.
We weren't.
Evicted from the family, remember?
Persona non grata.
You'll never be that, Sylv.
SHE SCOFFS
We love you.
PHONE VIBRATES
And I'd say Tom is keen to chat.
Not interested
in listening to his lies.
You're all liars. Aren't you?
All four of you.
Oh, come on.
You lied about being
at the tennis club all together
on the night that Annabelle died,
when Charlie was actually
with his mistress
and Tom sneaked off.
We've seen the CCTV.
But you don't think
Tom would hurt Annabelle?
He'd never hurt anyone.
He hurt me.
Yeah, I know, I know,
our marriage was over,
but couldn't we just behave
like grown-ups?
I mean, Tom's a coward.
You know that, Sylv.
He didn't kill Annabelle.
Then why lie?
Well, it was stupid. I mean,
we told the police the truth.
Of course we did.
They checked into everything.
Tom went back to the apartments
for an hour.
Why? Because Frankie had told us
that Annabelle was leaving,
and Tom wanted her to make sure
she knew she had to pay the business
everything she owed.
She took money from the business?
He thought so then, but not now.
Either way, he didn't see her.
So why didn't Tom tell me
all of this?
Because Charlie didn't want
anyone to know about Jade.
Especially not Beth.
So we said we were together.
LUCA: Natasha, pick up your phone.
HE SIGHS
HE MUTTERS IN MALTESE
HE EXHALES
Hey.
HE CHUCKLES
Thank you.
KNOCK AT DOOR
Police are here.
Oh, I'm sorry about the car.
It's all right.
I was wondering,
I left something in the boot
Yeah, I didn't open it, Auntie Tash.
We need to give a statement.
OK.
Don't do it again.
All right, get some rest.
Sorry again.
The guy who owns the bag
keeps calling.
Well, what did he say?
I haven't picked it up.
I can't tell him
I haven't got it, can I?
You'll get it back
before he finds out.
Well, I'm gonna ask the police now.
Find out
exactly when I can collect it.
It appears she was hoping to speak
to someone that she'd met online.
Yeah. No proper details.
All anonymous.
I'll pass on what you guys can tell
me to the appropriate teams.
OK. Thank you.
Look, I know it's not important
in the grand scheme of things,
but I wondered when I might be able
to collect my car?
Seeing as though
we're not pressing charges.
A report has been made,
so we still have to process it.
Right. And how long?
How long will that take?
Difficult to tell.
Ballpark figure?
Look, they'll call you
when it's time to pick up, right?
Erm, take your passport,
your driver's licence with you.
I'll show you out.
This could have ended so badly
for Sky.
These people are sneaky, preying on
kids that are going through stuff.
Yeah. It's sick, isn't it?
Yeah.
You don't think there is a chance
they might have known something
about Annabelle? No.
They'll have checked Sky's profile
and seen that her mum died
and used it as a way in.
Beth, what the hell is going on
with Frankie and Charlie?
I mean, one minute,
they're thick as thieves,
the next, they're knocking
ten bells of shit out of each other.
Yeah, I don't know.
Stress, I suppose.
Mm.
POP MUSIC PLAYS
KNOCK AT DOOR
JADE: I brought you some aftersun.
I'll give it you and then get off.
Fine.
Keep it in the fridge
so it's nice and cold. Thanks.
Are the police still here?
They'll wanna talk to you,
but we've said
you're too knackered today.
Driving a car off the road
would exhaust anyone.
Oh, I don't need a lecture.
I'm not giving you one.
Try and get your head down
for a bit, babe.
Isn't that what you call Dad?
It's what I call everyone.
Everyone I like.
Right
When can I get my phone back?
On your 40th birthday.
SHE SIGHS
Has he called again?
I can't believe I've lost the bag.
You haven't.
It's pretty safe where it is.
What if the police find it? What if
they look inside? They won't.
And even if they did, they'd find
some casino chips, right?
There's no law against that.
Right.
I'm going back to ours.
Are you coming?
Erm I'm gonna pop to Sylvie's.
Still no? No?
No.
DOOR BUZZES
Tash.
I can't get my car back.
Well, it's not a priority, is it?
Yeah, I left a bag in there.
So?
So I was keeping it for someone.
Who?
Why?
Cos Cos they paid me.
And I know, I know, I know, but
we are on the bones of our arses.
Was this Sean's idea?
No. No.
I've literally just told him
about it.
So why is it still
in the boot of your car?
I was trying to get it
into the apartment,
but then I got all waylaid
with Sylvie's birthday do.
I was gonna leave it
in there until later,
and how was I supposed to know
that that Sky was gonna nick
the damn thing? It's just
Is Sky OK?
She's having a kip.
I know she shouldn't have done it,
but she's worn out.
Someone gonna fill me in?
Mm?
Erm
Erm
Well, er, Tash was being paid
to keep a bag for someone.
And it's in the boot of her car,
which the police now have.
Right. I'm assuming
this bag in't full of shoes.
Every time I think
someone in this family
has done something so screwed up,
it cannot be topped,
another one of you surprises me.
Oh. To be honest, I'd have thought
you'd have been t'winner
of the Screw-up Cup.
Me? Why me?
You've been on the edge of the void
since we got here. Rude.
HE SIGHS
SYLVIA: Still no clue
who Sky was meeting?
She don't know herself.
So she says.
You stole her phone?
Technically,
it's confiscated, innit?
And then you've read
her messages behind her back.
Jade, that's I mean,
that's a real breach of trust.
This family prides itself
on trusting its teenagers.
Yeah, well,
that's got Sky groomed by a nonce,
so you can step
down off your high horse.
Look,
this person repeatedly messages her.
It starts off innocent enough.
"You look beautiful."
And then they're giving it,
"You can trust me."
Perv alert.
Yeah.
Next thing, they're saying, they've
got information about Annabelle
and that they wanna meet.
You don't think that could be true?
It's a tactic.
They've got no real picture,
no real name.
They go by OceanMagic22,
so it's impossible to say
who they really are.
So the police can't get him?
No. Probably not. We can.
We can pretend to be Sky
and ask him to meet us.
We're not chasing
some paedophile ring.
Yeah, but what if
they do know something
about how Annabelle died?
They don't. It's a trap.
Shall I send a message
and see if they answer?
No.
Yes!
No.
I think we should try.
Yeah, agreed.
Fuck's sake.
Right.
"Sorry about earlier. Gutted."
PHONE CHIMES
Oh.
Oh, this is idiotic.
What?
Sylvie, they're saying
they wanna meet us.
Tomorrow morning.
Where?
The old radar tower.
That's That's not good.
In the middle of nowhere.
Come on, there's four of us
and one of him. We'll be fine.
Got you, you dirty fucking paedo.
The early bird catches the perv.
SHE CHUCKLES
The police aren't gonna do
anything about it, so we have to.
What are you up to today?
I'm gonna go and see Frankie.
Not as exciting, I'll grant you.
Make sure you take
your boxing gloves. Pow, pow! Pow!
Hopefully, whatever state he's in,
he might tell me what the hell
Charlie's been up to. Mm.
I thought you'd quit. Again.
HE SIGHS
Have you seen Charlie?
Giving him a bit of space.
I should go and see him.
No, thanks.
I could do without a trip to A&E.
Let's have a walk.
I'm still not convinced
this is a good idea.
Of course it is.
Last time we tried
to tackle someone,
we ended up locked in a cellar.
Well, it wouldn't have happened
if you'd had me in tow.
Oh, right, yeah,
cos you can pick locks, can you?
He could be a complete headcase.
Yeah, or he could know
something about Annabelle's death.
Oh, for God's sake, Beth.
Well, what if they do know something
and we don't bother asking?
PHONE RINGS
Why is Luca calling you?
Hey.
Why have you been ignoring my calls?
Er, yeah. I'm I'm sorry,
I just, erm
No, we speak when I say so.
Right.
'I need my bag today.'
Sorry, I was under the, erm
I was under the impression that
you wanted me to keep it for longer.
Well, things change.
I'll be over in about an hour.
Er, I'm I'm not home.
Well, then turn around right now
and go home.
SHE CHUCKLES
I can't.
This is not a conversation, Natasha.
Do you understand what will happen
if I do not get that bag?
Or do I need to spell it out?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I understand.
You know you can talk to me,
Frankie.
Tell me what's going on.
It's just been
a shit couple of days.
Well, it's more than that.
You punched Charlie?
Hm! Yeah.
I still can't believe I did that.
Oh, there's plenty of times
I've wanted to knock his head off.
I love him, but I don't know
why we all protect him.
Well, he's the baby of the family.
Do you think
it's time he took responsibility
for the shit he causes?
I thought you said we should
stop protecting Charlie Boy.
I'm talking about you.
It's obvious that
something's eating you up.
I just want you to know
that I've got you.
Come on. Let's grab a coffee.
He seemed really nice
when I first met him.
You know,
he paid for all my shopping.
You were pretty taken with him
to start off with.
Yeah, until he turned up
outside that cocktail bar
with some dodgy explanation
about how he knew we were there.
You ever wish
you could just go back in time?
Christ, no.
If everything was back in the box,
we could just relax
and have a nice holiday.
Annabelle would still be gone.
Yeah, and I'd still be here.
Like a mucky stain
on the family tablecloth.
I know what you think of me.
Too loud. Too common. No, I don't.
You can be loud and common and
still be a Morgan if you fancy it.
And you have to stick around
to look after Sky.
You can't leave her with Charlie.
Not after what he's done.
She's his daughter.
Annabelle was his wife.
It didn't stop him.
He didn't kill anyone, Sylvie.
Well, at the very least, he bought a
death certificate, which is a crime.
Yeah, well, whatever you think
of him, he's still her dad.
He's not, though.
Sylv.
Eh?
Forget I said anything.
I've not got amnesia, Sylvie.
What are you on about?
It's not important.
I think it is.
All right, I'll tell you.
Charlie is firing blanks, OK?
Has been since he was a teenager.
Annabelle got pregnant.
Er, no, and we don't know who by.
But Charlie has brought up Sky
like his own,
which is all that matters.
Now, can we just?
How's he not told me any of this?
Because he's probably convinced
himself, by some miracle,
that he is actually Sky's dad.
I need to go and speak to him now.
No, don't say a word, Jade.
Are you kidding me?
I'm not.
We've got enough on our plates now
without you telling Charlie
that we all know about Sky.
Just save it for another day.
How is that gonna help?
If Ocean Magic gets in touch,
message back.
But not like
a middle-aged control freak.
Did your mum never tell you
you don't have to say everything
that comes into your head?
Yeah. Yeah, she did.
But she also told me that my dad
was working away on the rigs
when we knew he was doing a stretch
of handling stolen goods, so
Jade. Please don't tell Charlie.
Right, now all that's sorted, please
can we go before Luca rocks up?
Come on,
let's get to the radar tower.
I know Charlie has probably sworn
you to secrecy.
FRANKIE CHUCKLES
Not everything's about Charlie.
Well, what is it, then?
What is eating you up?
Look, I think
..I'm Sky's father.
Do you think
Jade will tell Charlie about Sky?
I would.
God knows how she's still with him.
The lies he's told her.
Yeah, well, there's a big chunk
of money coming their way
from Annabelle's inheritance,
and Jade is nothing
if not practical.
OK, so when Sean went home,
he had a look at Annabelle's will.
And there. See?
Everything is in order.
Charlie gets everything.
Look, I'm down as Sky's guardian
if anything happens
to Annabelle and Charlie.
Well, of course you would be,
Beth, you and Frankie.
Although she might have left him out
if she'd seen his Tyson Fury act.
No, she did leave him out, see?
Just Beth down as guardian.
No mention of Frankie.
Odd.
Not really.
I think
he might be Sky's real father.
Beth, this is It's ridiculous.
It makes sense if it was Frankie.
Would it though?
Or are you putting two and two
together and coming up with five?
Tea with a million sugars.
Eh? Frankie and Sky, they both take
tons of sugar in their tea.
Cast-iron proof right there (!)
No, I've googled it.
Sweet tooth is genetic.
That does not mean that
Sky has inherited that from Frankie.
I mean,
there's loads of people that
No, there's been other things
over the years.
He's always been adamant
that we come here for the summer,
even when the boys
wanted to try new places.
He'd say, "No, we should spend
the time all together
"as one big family."
We all did.
Yeah, but now I'm thinking,
was that his way of spending
more time with Sky?
If you really believe this, Beth,
you're being remarkably calm.
It's weirding me out, to be honest.
Maybe I don't believe it.
DOOR CLOSES
Sky still in bed?
Good. She needed a big sleep.
You're speaking to me, then?
I don't do sulking.
We need to talk.
Yeah.
Yeah. We do.
I love you.
And I know you've been trying
really, really hard with Sky.
Me and Sky are fine. That's
And I take on board that the last
24 hours have been a bit shit.
The whole holiday's been
a shit show.
Yeah.
And I've said some things
I really shouldn't have.
But what we have, Jade, is
It's magic.
And we have to hang onto it.
And not just for me.
Sky wants you around, too.
Needs you around, actually.
I mean, I do my best, but
You'd do anything for her,
wouldn't you?
Absolutely anything.
That's just That's just the way
it is when you have kids.
From the day they're born.
Not all dads feel that way,
you know.
Well, then they're fools.
What?
She's just, erm
She's lucky, that's all.
Ouch.
Oh, come on, it's barely a scratch.
It's painful.
SHE LAUGHS
No, it isn't.
I have never loved
anyone or anything like I love you.
You talk so much shit.
This is absolutely real, Jade.
Yeah, like my yoga studio.
Which will be real.
Business is struggling
at the moment Newsflash, Charlie.
And I would have told you,
but, erm
You thought I'm only interested
in your money. Huh?
Why didn't you just tell me
the truth, then?
I don't know. Pride, maybe.
I don't know.
Being successful is
how this family sees itself.
I mean, what are we
if we're not successful?
A bunch of fuck-ups?
Like every other family?
Yeah, well, pretty soon,
this bunch of fuck-ups
is gonna be back on its feet.
And then you are getting
everything I've promised.
Have you heard anything from Sean?
No, no.
What about, erm, Ocean whatsit?
Nothing. Jade?
Nothing.
We're sure we trust her, right?
Are we?
SHE BREATHES SHAKILY
Will you sit down?
You're shredding my last nerve.
What if he don't come,
this Ocean bloke?
Yeah, well,
you're assuming it's a man.
It'll be a man, and he'll come.
ENGINE IN DISTANCE
What's that?
Van, van, van.
Right. OK.
So we all remember the drill, yeah?
Yeah.
We're gonna take a photo of him
and his number plate,
and we're gonna say, "We know
all about your sordid little plans."
And then if he knows anything
about Annabelle's death He won't.
Yeah, but if he does,
it's a bonus, right?
Fuck!
Luca?!
He's Ocean Magic?
But First, he's dragging Tash
into God knows what,
and then he's trying to meet Sky
in secret.
Why have you come out here?
Er, meditation?
Don't fuck with me.
I told you to go home.
We know who you are.
We've got your name,
and we've got your number.
What the hell?
And you have arranged
to meet with our niece
here in this remote location.
Are you insane?
This makes no sense. Luca's not
Well, he's not a paedophile.
Then why is he contacting Sky?
Wait, you think I'm a paedophile?
No.
Unless he does know
something about Annabelle's death.
You're not Ocean Magic, are you?
I have no fucking clue
what you're talking about.
How did you know where we were?
I know a lot of things.
He's not Ocean Magic, Beth.
Tell us what you know
about Annabelle Morgan's death.
Put the fucking
BETH GASPS
Let's go and get my bag.
HE EXHALES
I take it
Charlie doesn't know about Sky.
Well, I mean,
he must know that she's not his.
But not that I'm
Look, Sean, you can't tell a soul.
OK?
Yeah, of course.
Thanks for listening, man.
It's been killing me.
What do you mean, you don't have it?
It was in my car.
PHONE RINGS
Give that to me.
Give me your fucking phone!
TASH SCREAMS
And you, too.
Oh, my word. You tracked our phones.
Where is my bag?
TASH BREATHES HEAVILY
It was in the car
when there was an accident.
THEY GASP
Luca, look, if I mean anything
to you at all, please don't do this.
You mean as much to me
as I do to you, Sylvie.
No, we both know
that we had something special.
That's not going to work.
PHONE RINGS
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean
to get you two involved.
Right, Tash, come on.
TASH EXHALES
I brought this man into our lives.
LUCA SPEAKS MALTESE
PHONE VIBRATES
BETH, WHISPERS:
'Jade, we need help.'
GASPING,
LUCA SPEAKS MALTESE
HEAVY BREATHING
You have three seconds to tell me
where that bag is or I shoot you.
I told you, it's in my car.
Two
Luca! Don't do this, Luca.
..three.
The police have it.
The police have got the car.
They've said I can have it back.
When?
Soon. Just, like, a few days, tops.
I haven't got a few days.
Don't do this to yourself, Luca.
You don't know anything about me.
I know that you can choose not to
Choose? You think I can choose?
This is my brother. If I don't
I don't deliver that bag
in one hour, they will shoot him.
W-We can figure it out.
There's got to be a way.
They will kill my brother.
There's always a way. Always.
No!
SCREAMING
Ah!
Jade?
Annabelle.
