The Wives (2024) s01e06 Episode Script

1
You have no idea
what I'm capable of.
What the hell is going on
with Frankie and Charlie?
I think he might be
Sky's real father.
Well, we don't know, do we, Sylv?
Charlie inherits everything.
He'd kill anyone, Sylvie.
He bought a death certificate,
which is a crime.
I thought you said we should
stop protecting Charlie boy.
I'm talking about you.
You're all liars.
Give me your phone!
SCREAMING
Annabelle?
Isn't anyone gonna say anything?
Annabelle?
# 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
I'm under your spell
# Sweet little lies. #
You can't just turn up.
Where the hell have you been?
I don't get it.
You let us think that you were dead.
She let her own daughter
think she was dead.
I'm assuming
some of these are yours.
A whole year you've been missing.
Jesus Christ, Annabelle.
Answer the question.
Where have you been?!
Let's call Beth.
You're gonna have to tell her.
No. It would destroy this family.
Keeping it a secret
is destroying you.
Yeah, but it's not about me,
though, is it, Sean?
If this comes out, then Beth
will be crushed. And the boys.
What about Sky?
How is she gonna react?
Just forget I ever told you.
Come on.
Let's enjoy some
of this delicious food
that you've rustled up.
Erm, got any chilli?
Oh.
ANNABELLE: Are we just gonna
leave him here, then?
You lot can explain that
to the police.
We're gonna tell 'em the truth.
We're gonna say that he tried
to kill us and then you stopped him.
You think I'm gonna stick around?
No, Tash.
You lot'll be telling him that
your sister in law came back
from the dead
and then disappeared again.
No, you can't go.
You're just gonna leave Sky again?
I didn't plan to leave Sky.
I told you my plan to leave Charlie
and take Sky with me.
Or at least I tried to tell you,
but you wouldn't listen.
I bet she didn't pass that on,
did she? 'Ey?
She did, actually.
Yeah. Beth's been tortured by this.
Tortured? Is that what rubbish
she's been telling you?
It's true.
What's true is she was so desperate
to keep the family together and
the business that she set me up.
She text me to tell me
that she would meet me after all,
knowing how much I wanted
and I needed that.
What text?
She never had any intention
of meeting up.
I didn't text you
to arrange to meet up.
I mean, I should have done,
but I didn't.
You're lying.
You lured me out with that message
so that HE could do
Charlie's dirty work.
What are you talking about?
Where do you think I've been
for a whole year, Tash?
That is the point.
We've got no idea.
I've been in hiding.
Because Charlie paid him to kill me.
Now, you can believe me or not,
I don't care.
Why should we believe you?
Charlie wanted me dead.
And you helped him.
No.
Jade.
Jade?
KNOCKING ON DOOR
Yeah?
Blimey. Is Sky around?
Very droll.
Oh, yeah.
I think I studied that one for
O-level. Very boring, as I recall.
Well, O-levels don't exist any more.
Which is lucky for you,
because you failed them all anyway.
HE CHUCKLES
It's good, actually.
It's about a woman who wants
to be financially independent.
Doesn't wanna marry for money.
Oh, well, that's something
you'll never have to worry about.
You have your mum's looks,
so you can marry whoever you want.
You're missing the point.
Is she around, Jade?
Well, if you gave me my phone back,
I could call her.
Nice try.
You OK?
Yeah. I just I thought
Tash would have called by now.
Well, I'm sure she's gonna be OK
at her meditation class.
HE CHUCKLES
It's just sweet
how protective you are.
Sweet? We're not teenagers.
Well, the pair of you act like it.
You both seem so happy together.
I thought you and Beth
were happy together.
We were. We are, I think.
Then why on Earth did you sleep
with Annabelle?
Why are you helping her?
Cos we don't wanna end up
serving life.
We didn't run him over. She did.
ANNABELLE SCOFFS
What is it that we're actually doing
with him? Where are we taking him?
Put him in the back of that, take
him to the cliff and roll him off.
We can't do that!
Well, he'll get swept out
to sea there.
Right. Like yours did.
We're not gonna get rid of him
like some piece of rubbish.
This time last year, he had a bag
over my head. Knocked me out.
And then when I came round,
he put a gun in my mouth.
Right. And you expect us to believe
that was all under Charlie's orders?
Can we just? Let's get him
in the van, all right?
And then we can decide
what we're gonna do.
Can you hear that?
Someone's coming. Open the door.
Come on!
Open the, erm Open the van.
ALL GRUNTING
Oh, my God,
I've got a dead body on me!
Shut up, Tash!
Got blood on me! Got blood on me!
It's all right.
Right, act normal.
Act normal?
You just mowed someone down.
SYLVIE: Thank God it's her.
Is that?
PANTING: Jade, this is Annabelle.
Annabelle, this is Jade.
Oh, I know who this is.
Charlie's mistress.
The last in a long, long, long line.
And you're the dead wife.
Ocean Magic didn't turn out to be
quite the nonce we were expecting.
And you seriously thought
we looked alike?
Well, she's changed her hair,
to be fair.
Yeah, not being alive
will do that to a person.
And yet here she is,
alive and kicking.
Why are you here?
Don't you think
you should be answering that?
You called me.
I heard a man's voice.
Yeah. So, we, erm
we had a visit from Luca.
He wanted his bag back from Tash
And he had a gun.
What? So where is he?
Well, I thought he was gonna
shoot me, and so, erm
He's dead?
For fuck's sake, you lot.
So, shall we say a few words or?
HE SPLUTTERS
He's not dead.
He's not chuffing dead!
So now what?
Hospital?
There's gonna be a load of
questions if we go that route.
So, what's the alternative?
We leave him here to die?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
He's not my problem.
I've got stuff to do.
What kind of stuff? What about us?
I didn't come back for you lot,
Tash. I didn't even plan to see you.
Right, so what is your plan, then?
Go to the police.
No, no. You're not going anywhere.
12 months you've been gone.
And there isn't one day
where I haven't thought about you.
Not one day
where I haven't had this
this sick feeling in the pit
of my stomach.
And now you wanna leave
without telling us
where the fuck you've been
or what's going on?!
I told you what happened, Beth,
but you just didn't wanna listen.
No, you told me some fairy story
about me and
You wanna park this for ten seconds
so we can get out of here?
Agreed. Standing around and shouting
is not gonna help, is it? Right.
Right, now, we should go back
and just work out
what we're gonna do.
And you need to come with us.
ANNABELLE SCOFFS
No, because the only person who can
back up your story is in this van.
Do you believe me, Sylv?
We have thought for a while
that your death was suspicious
and Charlie might have something
to do with it, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. But not that he hired
a hit man to do it.
That actually makes more sense.
How?
Cos all that's required of
Charlie is to hand over hard cash.
Exactly. It's just cleaner
all round. Yeah.
Yeah, we tell her nothing, though.
Charlie's going down,
and she's not stopping him.
OK. There's nobody around.
You should try and talk to him.
No.
Yeah. Yeah.
See if he'll tell you anything.
Like what?
Like who paid him to kill Annabelle.
Isn't that a job for the police?
He might be dead by then.
Jesus, Tash.
Just go on, and give us your keys,
please.
Yeah, Sean might be in ours.
Plus, she really needs a shower.
What? I've been living in a van
for three weeks.
Leave it on the latch.
Mm-hm.
INHALES
AND EXHALES DEEPLY
You look in shock.
Oh, I just
I don't know what to think.
Do you trust her?
What? Annabelle?
No. Not as far as I could throw her.
Well, she's not gonna talk
while I'm here.
Call me if you need me, yeah?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Don't just accept any crap
she tells you
just cos you're relieved
she's alive, Beth.
Luca.
Luca?
LUCA GROANS
I need to help my brother, Sylvie.
They will kill him.
OK, if you
if you tell me what I need to know,
I'll consider letting you go
to your brother, OK?
Who paid you
to kill Annabelle Morgan?
I don't know
what you're talking about. Fine.
Have it your way.
I'm sure your brother will survive.
Please.
A name, please.
I didn't go through with it.
Name.
I wasn't given a name.
I was told he wanted her dead.
They will kill me
when they know she is alive.
Now, will you let me go, please?
Sorry. No can do.
Sylvie
You should not have threatened
to kill my sister-in-law.
Mm.
Hey.
You've been ages.
I had a lot to think about.
Come to any conclusions?
Cos I've been thinking,
and I think we should get married.
You already asked me that.
No. I mean, bring it forward.
Let's get married right now.
Come on.
We've all had such a shit year.
We deserve a bit of fun.
Why don't you just throw a party?
It's a big thing, babe,
for Sky as much as anyone.
You know, she misses her mum.
And so do I.
But she's not coming back, so
so let's get married.
Let's find you your yoga studio,
and let's live happily ever after.
What if we can't, babe?
Of course we can.
What if you can't sell this place
or you can't sort out
Annabelle's estate?
What are we gonna do then?
What if she walked
through that door right now?
Who would you pick -
Annabelle or me?
But I already made that choice
when she was alive.
You wanted the truth.
Yeah.
Did we get it, though?
At least she's still alive.
Is she, though?
SCOFFS
That's not Annabelle, is it?
Not the Annabelle
I used to know, anyway.
I think we've all changed.
And I'm definitely not
the same person that I was
this time last year.
Yes, you are.
No, I'm not.
I feel I feel tougher.
Like I don't let things
flow over me like I used to.
CLATTERING
What did he say?
He admitted he was paid.
Lucas said they wanted her dead.
Well, do you buy that?
Do you buy he doesn't know
who the actual person is?
Yeah, I think so. I mean,
he's not the Godfather, is he?
He's just low level,
paid to do a job.
Wow.
Well, isn't this cosy?
You guys all living
in each other's pockets.
We've always been a close family.
You used to be a part of it.
What about Jade?
Taken her into the fold, have you?
Yeah. Cos we like her.
Cos she's clever and she's funny
It doesn't matter to you
she was shagging Charlie
when we were still together?
Look at you, taking the moral high
ground. Didn't you shag my husband?
What? He told you?
No.
You won't believe me,
but Annabelle made the first move.
Yeah, that was my reaction.
And I said no at first,
but, you know,
she she made out like it was
some great adventure.
Charlie's wife, though.
To be honest, I think
that's the main reason I did it.
Yeah, everyone everyone acts
like he's some second coming.
You are not jealous of Charlie.
He always gets what he wants.
So, why did Luca let you go?
Lost his bottle?
I paid him off to let me disappear.
Then you staged your own death
and let us all grieve for you?
Let Sky grieve for you?
Well, there wasn't much choice,
Beth.
He said he'd kill her
if I ever surfaced.
Oh, my God. What would you have done
if someone threatened
your boys like that?
I'd have gone to the police.
He said that he had people
on the inside. Corrupt people.
Yeah, I buy that.
Charlie got your death
certificate last week, like,
years ahead of schedule.
You. You think that the world
works the way you've been told
because nothing bad has ever
happened to you. Nothing bad?
I've been held against my will
in a cellar.
I've had a gun shoved in my face.
And I found out
that my husband's a liar.
Well, then you should understand
why I did what I did.
Erm, everything went OK?
Erm it went.
Yeah. I'll be off.
Are you Sky's dad?
What are you talking about?
Yeah. I've always felt like
something wasn't right, and
Beth, come on.
No, but I'm asking you now
to tell me the truth.
Are you Sky's dad?
So So my Our life,
my whole life has
..been a total lie, hasn't it?
No, just
..just this one thing. But I swear,
everything else is real.
EXHALES SHAKILY
SOBS
Do you need to be somewhere else?
The police station.
No, no. We're gonna wait for Beth.
We don't even know
if she's coming back.
She wants to know the truth
as much as any of us. More.
What if Jade tells Charlie
that I'm back?
You seem very sure it was Charlie.
Well, who else could it be? You
said yourself you had suspicions.
What the actual
We went through all of the people
that we thought could be involved.
OK, so, we've got Charlie for,
you know, obvious reasons.
And then Frankie because he's spent
his entire life cleaning up
after Charlie.
And he's Sky's dad.
Yeah. Yeah, we didn't know that
at the time.
Good point, Sylvie.
Tom's on there
because he disappeared the night
that you were killed.
Luca must know more
than he's told you.
And Sean is on there because
we owed you a load of money,
and you asked for it back.
I needed it, Tash. I wanted
to take off, so I needed it back.
You're loaded.
Most of my money is invested.
I'm not a cashpoint, Tash.
There's nothing to say
the police are gonna believe
or listen to any of this.
I mean, you just rocking up
and going, "Here I am."
Obviously,
I'm not just gonna rock up.
You know the detective
who was dealing with the case,
Officer Caesar?
He did some interviews about it
on the telly.
I've contacted him to meet.
So what? Did he move on,
or did they just shut the case?
No, he's still around.
KNOCKING ON DOOR
I've just got back to ours.
As soon as I saw that was there,
I knew you'd be here playing Cluedo.
HE GASPS
We didn't have an affair.
It was nothing like that.
Just a one-off thing, you know?
And
It meant absolutely nothing.
Look, I have regretted doing this
every single day of my life since.
Have you never regretted anything
in your life? Huh?
All I can do is stand here
and beg for your forgiveness.
This is my mistake, not yours.
No, I know how that sounds. Look
Look, OK. I'm pathetic.
Yes, you are!
You are completely pathetic.
In fact, you're one of
the most pathetic men I've ever met.
Frankie
Shit, man, you had everything.
You had a wife who loved you,
you had two gorgeous kids.
You've got a company handed to you
on a plate by your own parents.
What more did you want?
All right.
The business never made me happy.
Right.
But shagging your sister-in-law,
that did, did it?
Sneaking about behind my back.
Behind Behind Charlie's back.
That made you feel like a big man,
did it?
It wasn't like that.
Well, I'd ask you what it was like.
I don't want to know.
It was just a one-time
Just shut up! Shut up!
Beth, come on.
OK, look.
So, we were at
one of those diabolical parties
that my mum used to throw
every Christmas Eve, and
and we were smashed and knackered.
It just happened, OK?
It just happened.
Well
I hope it was the fuck of your life,
Frankie.
I can barely remember it. I
This is gonna blow up everything.
It's gonna blow up all our lives.
Mine, Charlie's, your mum.
The kids, the the boys!
Come on. You don't have
to tell everyone else.
We don't have to ruin everything.
No, Frankie.
This HAS ruined everything.
Beth, come on.
Please, just Beth.
This is insane.
It's beyond insane.
We need to show you something else.
Luke is our only witness.
We're gonna take him to the police
and let him tell them everything.
How do you know
he has anything to tell?
Because he told Sylvie that he was
paid by someone in the family,
this family, to kill Annabelle.
He said that?
Yeah.
Are you sure he's not just making up
any old crap? Why would he lie?
Because you've got him locked
in the back of a van. Listen
Don't be shedding any tears for him,
all right?
He had a gun to our heads.
A gun?
Yes, a gun. He's a hit man.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
We should have told you years ago.
I wanted to.
Why didn't you?
I kept asking myself,
what good would it do?
Would you even want to know? Or
would you rather carry on thinking
that Frankie was a great husband?
PHONE BUZZING
Sylv?
He's gone.
'Where could he go in that state?'
We don't know.
You've locked the doors, right?
Yes, definitely.
And you've looked for him? We've had
a scout around, yeah, but
Oh, for God's sake, find him, Sylv.
I'm taking Shergar to the police.
PHONE RINGS
Franco.
Charlie.
How's your mouth?
I've had worse.
Listen,
have you spoken to Beth or Sean?
Should I have?
No. No, no, no, no, not at all.
I just, erm
Look, I just wanted to say sorry
about before.
Do you wanna talk about it?
Look, what would Mum have said?
"Don't turn it
into a three-act drama, Frances."
Please, Charlie.
'Look, erm'
Look, I promised Jade and Sky
that we'd go out
and do something fun together.
'Why don't you and Beth tag along?'
Well, Beth's
gone off again with Sylvie and Tash,
so
Bring Sean, then.
Well, there's Frankie now.
Says he wants me to meet somewhere
with him and Charlie.
"Fun activity for Sky and Jade."
Not sure a "fun activity"
will make Jade forget
that Annabelle
is back from the dead.
She knows?
Surely she's told Charlie.
No, she hasn't.
Well, not yet, anyway.
I bet she wonders how the hell
she got involved
with this family's mess.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't you go and see
Frankie and Charlie?
Keep them busy
while we try and find Luca.
Don't say anything about Annabelle,
though.
Why does everyone always think
I'm a leaky bucket?
You trust Jade
more than you trust me?
Excuse me. I can keep a secret.
# Bursting out of my cage #
Come on!
# Sick and tired
Of sitting still #
Behold, the field of dreams! Ha-ha!
Choose your weapons.
# Feel the belt tightening #
Well done!
# Do not blink #
I'm the champion!
# That little voice keeps telling me
This is not OK
# Got my ammunition
What will be, will be
# Knock 'em dead
Knock 'em dead
# Knock 'em dead #
We need to stick together.
You and me, Sean.
We are.
Why else do you think I'm here?
For the love of mini golf?
We can't let this family fall apart.
No, I'm not gonna let that happen.
Or the business.
We have to do whatever it takes
to save it.
All three of us together.
Will Charlie agree to that, though?
Well, he'll have to.
Whoa!
You know,
you didn't need to come with me.
Oh, I want to know the truth,
whatever that is.
And Sky deserves to know the truth.
Probably best if I go
and speak to Caesar first.
Just in case it doesn't go
how you're hoping. Yeah?
OK.
How do you think
Charlie found out about Luca?
Dunno. I mean,
you don't put it out there, do you?
"For the right price,
I'll kill your wife."
Just glad that Sean
didn't get dragged into it all. Mm.
You OK?
I just suggested to Sean that
I want him to join the business.
Erm
Things are a bit tricky
at the minute. Yeah.
All the more reason for us
to look out for each other.
Look, stuff happens.
But we're brothers.
OK? Nothing can change that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Er?
Beth Morgan?
Hi.
You contacted me
about Annabelle Morgan?
Yeah.
You don't believe
she had an accident, do you?
It's tragic
but, yes. Very likely an accident.
Really? Then why are you here?
And why is she over there?
Be honest.
You let him go, didn't you?
I did not.
I didn't!
Not very good at this hour.
Good at what?
This detective stuff.
Hm!
Mm! Is that him?
He's about 16 years old, Tash.
Not gonna find him, are we?
Not sitting here like this,
we're not.
Right, let's go, then.
You'll give a full statement?
Yeah.
But you'll need to get
Luca Vella picked up.
That will be pivotal.
Yeah, but he's done a runner.
We'll find him soon.
This is a small place,
and everyone knows who he is.
What if Luca won't talk?
If it's that or go to prison
for life, he'll talk.
What if he doesn't know
who paid him? It's what he said.
He knows.
I'm gonna tell Mum about Jade.
OK. Are you sure you wanna do that?
Well, we're getting married, so
You can't.
Well, I've got to.
I've got no choice.
I mean,
even if she does pull her usual,
I'll have to tell her at some point.
I mean you can't get married.
Because you're already married
to Annabelle.
Sean, come on.
And she's not dead.
Annabelle's not dead.
Sean. Sorry, this isn't funny.
I'm not trying to be funny.
Could you find me all the files
on Annabelle Morgan?
Why are you saying this?
Because she's the one
that's been messaging Sky.
The girls went to try
and find Ocean Magic,
but it turns out that
Annabelle's dead.
She's going to go to the police
and tell them that you tried
to have her killed.
No, this is crazy.
Hm?
You mean this, don't you?
Could you confirm your allegation?
Yes.
Luca Vella abducted me
under the instruction of my husband,
Charles Morgan.
Did Mr Vella say that?
No, he didn't need to.
Charlie was the only person
who wanted me dead.
And why have you come
to this conclusion?
Because I told Charlie
I was leaving him.
And he didn't want that?
No, he didn't want to lose my money.
I'd bailed out the family business
many times over the years,
and if we were divorced
then that would no longer
be an option.
The only way he could have access
to my money going forward
would be if I was dead.
I mean, who would believe
that I would try
to have Annabelle killed?
I mean, I loved Annabelle.
No, no, you
..you had an affair, Charlie.
What?
If it wasn't for Annabelle's money,
the company would have gone tits up.
But that doesn't mean
I tried to have her killed!
No, but the police
are gonna ask some questions.
I mean, they can't just ignore them,
can they?
Can they?
I don't know.
You're supposed to be the lawyer,
Frankie.
Back home.
But I don't know how it works here.
I've gone through his bank accounts
and found nothing unusual.
That's because you've been looking
in the wrong place.
So, you see these payments?
They have been made
to the same supplier. Right?
That supplier doesn't exist.
The account was set up by Charlie
so he could take money
from the company.
And I'd take a wild bet
that on the night I disappeared,
a huge sum was taken out.
You should check as soon as you can.
In the meantime, pick up Charlie
before he gets wind I'm back.
Jade.
What's up?
We have to go back to London today.
Why?
Well, police want to talk to me.
It's about Annabelle.
I can't explain right now,
but you just
you need to trust me and know
that I haven't done anything wrong.
Erm Call the airline, babe.
Yeah, that's who I'm on hold to
right now. Good.
Hey. Yes. Hello?
Right. And what about tomorrow?
Right.
HE GROANS
Don't panic.
Don't panic. Erm
What about a boat to Sicily?
There'll be way more flights
from there. And the port's not far.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You're a genius.
Er, Sky?
How about a boat trip?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah?
CHARLIE LAUGHS
SOFTLY: OK. Come on.
PHONE RINGING
HE SCOFFS
OK. OK.
PHONE RINGING
All right.
PHONE RINGING
Beth. We know about Annabelle.
How?
Well, because Sean told us.
How did Charlie react?
He's in a right state,
and he's leaving now.
And he's taking Sky with him.
What? No, you can't let him.
Don't let him.
I'll go with him, and then I'll text
you wherever we end up, OK?
Oh, there you are.
Oh, come on, let's go. Right.
Why do we need these?
Plenty of time for questions later.
Yeah.
It's done.
All I want to do now is see Sky.
Charlie's taken Sky.
What? Where?
To the port.
Why didn't you tell me? You're not
allowed to just swan in there.
I've been calling.
I have called, Annabelle.
Yeah, we're on our way.
That's great. Thanks.
Caesar's not far behind.
As quick as you can, please.
I'm gonna kill him.
Hey, you've got your passport.
Do you want me to keep it
with the others?
Jade?
Jade?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Charlie
No, no.
I can't.
You can't leave me. Not now.
Hey.
Hi.
Here we are, look.
Look at that boat.
Let's get you to Sicily.
Look
Charlie, stop.
There's something I need to explain.
Sky.
Your dad will always look after you.
You know that, don't you?
Why is everyone being so weird?
I know he's not perfect, but
you can rely on him.
And that is worth
its weight in gold.
Thanks.
Wait. You stay here.
I need to see her.
What? No.
Sky'll panic when she sees you.
She thinks you're dead,
for God's sake. Just
She's gonna know soon enough.
But not here, right?
Not in front of people
like some freak show.
Let me just bring her to you.
Charlie! Charlie. Charlie.
Let them go, Beth.
You're not doing this.
Sky needs it.
That's not our call to make.
Charlie. You're not doing this.
Let's go!
I know what this is,
and this is a dreadful idea.
What?
This is just a boat trip, Beth.
You're just delaying things, and
you're dragging Sky into it, too.
What's going on?
I'll explain everything soon.
Charlie. Charlie, look at me.
We know you love Sky, but this
this is not the way
to deal with what's happening.
I haven't done anything wrong, Beth.
Just tell them. How do you think
it looks, running away?
Wait, what are we running away from,
Dad?
Look, if you haven't done anything,
then you don't need to be scared.
Why would I turn myself in
to a bunch of people
who don't believe me?
If you tell them the truth,
they have to.
Come on,
you're not that fucking naive.
Who won't believe what?
Can someone tell me what's going on?
I've got this.
Get in the boat, Sky.
Charlie.
Charles Morgan?
Get in the boat with your dad now.
No, Charlie,
please don't make things worse.
How could things get any worse?
Let's go.
No, no, no. Whoa, whoa. No.
That's not necessary, please.
Charlie.
Charlie, just do the right thing.
Think of Sky.
OK. Yeah.
Come with me, please.
Wait. Wait, no.
Dad, what have you done?
Don't worry. I haven't done
anything. Beth will look after you.
Don't worry.
No! Dad!
It's OK.
I'll be back.
It's all right. It's OK.
# Let's be quiet for a moment
# Watch the shapes begin to fall
# Keep your head above the system
# Keep your eyes towards the floor
# We don't need another picture #
It's OK.
# We just need another road
# It's a quieter existence #
It's OK.
# It's the people we don't know
# It's the people we don't know. #
Charlie.
All right.
Yeah. I'm so sorry.
No, no, it's it's taken so long
to organise, and I just
I've been chasing them every day.
It's just
How are you doing?
You'll get out of here soon enough.
OK?
I'm not getting bail on a conspiracy
to murder charge, Frankie.
It's all gonna come out
in the trial.
Yeah.
Unless everyone accepts
whatever Annabelle says.
Not everyone's gonna do that.
I signed those papers
that you wanted me to sign.
They should hand them to you
on your way out.
OK. Good. Just, erm
But that's only
until we get you out of here.
And once we've done that,
it's all back to you.
Not sure I really care
about any of that any more.
I haven't heard from
Sky or Jade. Are they OK?
Well, you know, obviously
it's a lot for Sky to take in,
but, erm
you know, we're doing everything
we can to support her.
She's OK.
I have done
some really shitty things.
But I love her so much.
No-one doubts that.
I mean, after Annabelle
I wasn't the best dad I could be.
I got it into my head
that Sky needed to move on,
when, actually, I think it was
it was me that needed that.
Charlie, it's OK.
No.
It's not OK.
Cos I let her down
when she needed me most.
And now I've lost her.
Listen, I know
I know it feels like it's over,
but it's not.
It's not over.
Trust me.
Thanks for coming.
So, I've just been to see Charlie.
How was that?
Not good.
He signed the business over to me
while he's inside.
Right.
So, you've got
everything you ever wanted.
Not like this, Beth.
You know, he wrote to me.
He's absolutely adamant
that he didn't do anything.
Really?
Yeah.
Do you think he did?
I mean,
I'd like to think he didn't, but
I mean, the evidence, Beth
The police took my phone.
They checked it.
There actually was
a text to Annabelle
the night she disappeared, and then
it was deleted straight away.
So, you think Charlie sent it?
I mean, he did come round.
He was all upset
about Annabelle leaving, and
Do you remember?
That's why you suggested
a session at the tennis club.
Not that he ever went.
Otherwise engaged.
You Morgan boys never did
take your wedding vows seriously.
I don't actually know why I came.
Sorry.
I love you.
You know, what we have
It's worth saving.
Just one stupid mistake,
16 years ago. And it
..it's not me.
Can't wait to see you.
'Same.
'Love you. Gotta go.'
Oh
OK, bye. Love you.
Walk down to the sea?
Yeah.
Erm Let me get my flip-flops.
Shall I bring towels?
We could have a swim.
Er, yeah. Why not?
OK.
Finish the job I paid you to do
last year.
And then?
You leave Malta.
Never come back.
Come out now.
Hey. Let me.
You don't want to lose it.
My little creature.
Hi.
Hey. You OK?
Yeah.
You look gorgeous.
Thank you. Hi.
Hiya.
You've made an effort.
Hi.
Hiya.
Right. So, where is it we're going?
And do not say The Pink Flamingo.
You're all coming?
Of course.
She's even got a night off dating.
We are honoured.
I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Hey.
Beth
I hope you don't mind
that I invited Frankie along.
I did not want him sitting on
his own for his last night in Malta.
Sure.
We're having a big night, then?
We are dancing till three.
Till dawn.
Who's Dawn?
Have you seen Beth's drunk dancing?
Oh, fuck off, Annabelle.

# 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
Tell me I'm under your spell
# Sweet little lies. #
