Wild Cherry (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

1
- They snuck out and I didn't want to
worry you.
- You should have told me.
- The girls asked me not to.
- Of course they did,
but you should have told me anyway.
That's what a real friend would do.
- We need to find out who the snake
is.
- Then cut her head off.
THEY LAUGH
I know he's sharing photos from the
catalogue and putting them online.
- Who is?
- You're in love with him.
The catalogue's got out of control.
The photos weren't supposed to be
this extreme.
This morning, the force
have launched a murder probe
after the results of
Iris Milanovic's postmortem.
What did you say about that night?
Did you tell them that you made
Iris' life hell every day?
I got a text from Iris
the night she died.
Are you talking about blaming
K Rizz for everything?
We're lucky nothing worse
happened to our girls.
Sorry, I don't know why
I'm telling you this.
- We should be talking about Allegra.
- I want to be here for you too.
- What's happened?
- Just because they're rich,
- it doesn't mean they're better
than everybody else.
- You're rich.
I know.
I need you to let me in.
I haven't been honest with you
about Grace's dad.
- I found Iris' phone in my bag.
- What did you say to the police?
- I didn't say anything.
- What did you do with the phone?
You did this, Sadie.
My name is Sadie.
Or Gigi.
I know.
I've been lying my whole life.
I used to stay home
making up stories
and playing with my dolls
because I wanted to be
like those perfect women.
I didn't go to school much.
I was too busy looking after
my baby brother.
As soon as I was old enough,
I knew I had to hustle.
Hey, waitress, put it on my tab.
It's Gigi.
No-one was going to give
me a chance,
so I had to take matters
into my own hands.
Playing by the rules
doesn't get you anywhere.
Are you Gigi?
From Los Angeles?
Yeah. Gigi.
But let's get out of here.
This place is a dive.
I couldn't afford to have morals.
And Freddie didn't ask
too many questions.
I mean, why would he?
He had someone to take care
of him and his kids.
And I didn't want to go back.
In Richford Lake, I had the life
I was always meant to have.
Just like those perfect women.
"You have such a lovely home."
But I found out that these women,
they were just like me.
They were wild.
# Dear daughter
# Do you miss me?
# I can hear your voice humming
# Dear daughter
# Where are you now?
# Ask me for a lullaby. #
If you could just stand here
and look straight
into that camera for me.
Allegra Lonsdale, Grace Gibbons,
you are under arrest
on suspicion of murder
in the case of Iris Milanovic.
Why are they taking so long?
It's been 12 hours.
This is ridiculous.
They can't keep them here
like criminals.
They took some photos,
they're not murderers.
What is it?
What exactly happened that night
of the party?
- What do you mean?
- What time did they get home?
How were they acting when
you caught them?
Like normal teenagers sneaking home.
No.
We told them to lie about K Rizz,
we must think they're guilty
of something.
You're not seriously considering
they might be involved in this?
Morning.
Where are they?
We're not releasing them just yet,
we have a few more questions.
This is a complete waste of time,
you should be talking to K Rizz or
interviewing real suspects.
We let K Rizz go.
He has an alibi and it checks out.
We'll call you if anything changes.
I suggest you get some sleep.
Here you are.
Allegra
..we know K Rizz
isn't behind this app.
Why did you lie to us?
Why did you pay him
thousands of pounds?
What was the money for?
I wanted him to post me
on his account.
So I could go viral.
You like creating content?
Do you remember recording this
video for the app?
INDISTINCT CHATTER
Is that you in the video?
Yeah.
Yes.
I'm going to skip to 4:33 in.
I don't know. She said maybe.
Iris, Iris
..withdraw the catalogue or else
we're going to slice you up.
Stop pissing everyone off
and just come here.
Iris.
Coming for her at the party -
is that what you meant?
So, she's being questioned
but not yet charged.
I'm glad you've come to me
with this.
I don't want to be here.
Why exactly are you here?
I don't know.
I'm desperate.
I know that Grace is a good person.
She's bright and careful
and thoughtful.
But she's not the same innocent girl
I thought she was.
She's changed.
She is your daughter.
Nature versus nurture.
You don't want her to be
anything like me.
Am I so bad?
You weren't good to me.
I was just a young woman to be used.
All the disappointment.
- That pain.
- Things were different back then.
I am a shit mother because
of the shame I carried with me.
Because of the way you made me feel.
If you need this to go away,
I can make it go away.
I can pay people
to do almost anything.
But I want something in return.
I want to get to know her.
No.
We don't need you.
You are disgusting.
What happened all those years ago,
you made me feel invisible
and ashamed.
But that wasn't on me,
that was on you.
Whatever she's done,
I will get her through this.
Grace is me.
She's mine.
AMERICAN ACCENT: What the fuck
are you doing here?
You've really outdone yourself
this time, Sadie.
Got a whole town thinking you're
some sort of guru.
a fucking hater.
I never lied to anyone.
If people think I'm a life coach,
that's on them.
So, what? It's got nothing to
do with you scamming everyone, nah?
Oh, what do you want from me,
Jacob?!
Hey, we're family
and you just left me.
Don't you dare come in here.
I didn't know where to find you.
I didn't have no-one.
- I had to do mad shit
just to survive.
- Yeah?
Well, you don't even want to know
what I had to do.
I'm your sister, I'm not your mum.
It's not my job to look after you.
And I deserve to be here
and have nice things,
just like all these other bitches.
Aren't you sick of not having
anything?
Nah, I don't want any of this shit.
Not if I can't be myself.
Do you really think Allegra
likes you?
Don't be so naive, Jacob.
What the hell is going on?
AMERICAN ACCENT: Ernothing.
He came to see me
to talk about Allegra.
- I'm her brother.
I'm her brother.
She's not from America.
You're not American?
OK, just hear me out.
Maybe I told a few lies.
- So, I'm not American
- You lied to me.
To everyone.
You've been talking to my child.
Are you even a life coach?
- No, but I'm your friend, Juliet.
- Oh, my God!
Last night, you came to my house.
Did you put something in my bag?
- I didn't put anything in your bag.
- Who the fuck are you?!
And what are you doing
with my daughter?
- Juliet, I would never
- I'm calling the police.
Fuck Fuck.
You know what,
go ahead and call them.
Cos it weren't me.
Allegra told me a lot of stuff.
All the girls did.
Do you know she trashed
K Rizz's house that night?
Your daughter is violent.
You think you can get her out of it
cos you're posh and rich?
You're no better than us.
I welcomed you into my life.
Did you fuck my husband?
Maybe you should have been
nicer to me.
If you don't get the fuck out of
here tonight, I'm telling everyone.
ENGINE REVS LOUDLY
Why aren't you at
the police station?
I've been calling you,
you don't answer.
What the hell's going on?
It's over, Raef.
What is?
We are over.
I'm not talking to you when you're
like this. I'm calling your father.
Call him. When you're done with
that, you can go and pack your bags.
What, and leave you
to look after the kids?
Our daughter is in
the police station, Juliet.
Maybe you should have spent
more time with her
instead of writing a stupid book.
God forbid I tried to have something
for myself after all these years.
- You slept with Gigi - with Allegra's
life coach.
- That was your idea!
No. After I left,
I know you fucked her.
That's the line, is it?
We are so far past that.
So I made a mistake, whatever.
I've made a few mistakes.
- But don't try and play
the innocent with me.
- What?!
I did it once,
because I needed someone
to touch me.
That's what all this is about,
isn't it? Your need.
Your constant need for attention
because you didn't get it
from daddy.
Wow, you're cruel.
You hate your life so much,
you can't help but drag us all
into your shitty misery.
I don't hate my life, Juliet.
I hate being with you.
Yeah, your life would be
so amazing without me.
You've got no money. Seriously,
what do you have? Nothing.
- Your career is over.
- Fuck you, Juliet.
- No, fuck you!
You are a joke.
You are the embarrassment
to this family,
not me, not Allegra.
I see you.
I really see you now.
I want you out of my house.
Mum.
What's going to happen to Allegra?
I'll fix it.
I promise.
Were you aware that
Allegra transferred money to K Rizz?
No.
Do you think Allegra lied to you
about a lot of things?
We know Iris told the school about
the video and you were mad at her.
We know you were angry with Iris
that night.
- Did you follow her into the woods?
- I would never hurt Iris.
And it wasn't just about the money,
it was about more than that.
But
I don't know why I'm here.
I would never hurt Iris.
We know you were making
a lot of money from this.
- Were you sharing photos
beyond the app?
- No.
- Well, it was supposed to be a
secret.
- A secret worth killing for?
- I think things got out of hand
and you went too far.
- What? No!
It wasn't like that!
Unless you have anything to charge
my client with,
I'd like to call an end
to this interview.
Interview ended, 15:34.
PHONE BUZZES
Lorna.
Are they out yet?
I have to tell you something.
What?
I found Iris' phone.
What are you doing?
- Someone put it in my bag
- Put it away. Put it away!
Afternoon. We've not charged them
but they have bail conditions set.
- They haven't done this.
- We do have reason to believe
these photos have been shared
beyond the app.
What?
Parents don't want to believe
these kinds of things
about their children,
what they're capable of.
You're required to answer bail
back here.
It's OK.
DISTANT CHATTER
GRACE SIGHS
Do you think maybe Iris
knew something,
that's why she was murdered?
What if this phone has something
to do with Allegra?
Why would she hide it?
I have to go back and hand it in
to the police, don't I?
What? You can't.
Allegra's your daughter.
You have to get rid of it.
Think about it.
I am thinking about it!
It's all I'm thinking about.
You can't, OK? You can't!
I have to tell you.
I was trying to protect
Grace was the one
..the one who found Iris' phone.
She found it and then she freaked
out and she passed it to you.
You were going to let me
think it was Allegra?
I would have told you.
I wouldn't have let you
go to the police.
- You weren't doing this for me!
- The fact of the matter is
..Grace said she didn't do it.
And I don't know who
to believe because
I think somehow they're
SHE SIGHS
Oh, God.
They're both involved.
When Allegra came home that night,
her clothes were wet.
Oh, no.
What if they both did
something to her?
If they lied about the app,
what else are they capable of?
The police said someone
was sharing our photos online.
And Iris said you were
in love with an older guy.
OK, maybe this guy did something
to her because she found out.
If it's not you and it's not me
- ..then who is it?
- I don't want
to be talking about this.
So you would rather be
accused of killing Iris?
What about Noori's boyfriend?
But wait, he lives in America.
It must be Jocasta.
Jocasta never mentioned a boyfriend.
But it could have been a secret.
Maybe that's why she gave us all
drugs when we took the photos.
Grace! Allegra!
I found this in my bag.
Grace?
I don't know where
it came from either.
I'm sorry. I panicked.
Grace, if you tell us, we can help.
Tell you what?
You don't actually think?
What is on this phone, Allegra?
I don't know!
Mum, we haven't done this.
You have to believe me.
Jocasta has this boyfriend
and we think he's the one who
did something to Iris.
We need to speak to her.
She'll be at Frances' party.
We'll take you to speak to Jocasta.
Not to Frances' party,
that's insane, Lorna.
What else do we do?
Maybe someone knows something.
Thank you.
I mean, we can't just turn up.
We need time to think.
We are those delusional mothers.
# My darling, what can I say?
# You make life so bright and so gay
# Oh, my sweetheart,
you make colours out of grey
# Oh
# You're the rainbow in
the grass so green
# Red roses, most wonderful
I've ever seen
# Without you, what would I be? #
MUSIC FADES
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you.
My goodness.
I just want to say thank you so much
to all my dear family and friends
for making me feel so special.
I also want to send
my thoughts to Yelena
and our much-beloved Iris.
I am so proud of the way we have
all stuck together as a town.
- Are people staring at us?
- Thank you.
Please try to
enjoy yourselves tonight.

# In my soul, in my mind,
in my heart, I know #
She's there.
# There's a spark inside me
that's making me glow
# Yes, it is
# I'm moving in the right direction
# Doing good, beyond perfection
# Never been so sure #
Did you invite?
Frances, hi.
It's really lovely to see you
both enjoying my party
but I'd like you to leave right now.
We all know Allegra and Grace
are out on bail.
I can't believe
you've turned up here.
You don't seriously believe our
daughters are murderers, do you?
- That's not for me to decide.
- Frances, don't.
They've been running a sexting ring
and profiting off it.
£100 a month.
- Our girls have been accused
but you're involved too.
- Excuse me?
It's not my family.
You don't even know
that Jocasta has a boyfriend.
And who is this guy?
You don't know because you're not
the perfect mother you
think you are.
Hang on, how dare you accuse Jocasta
and try and use her name
in all this?
Jocasta doesn't have a boyfriend.
Well, let's speak to her, then.
Do you have any dignity?
Turning up here like this,
accusing my family?
Daniel, if you would just listen.
- Grace and Allegra
- This is how desperate you are.
You come here and do this
at my birthday.
Shame on you.
We should go.
- We know you're lying.
- I'm not!
Just tell us, Jocasta, we know.
I'm not sharing anything!
I don't even have a boyfriend.
Then why were you so upset about
photos and people seeing them?
Because everyone was laughing at me.
What the fuck?
Why would I lie about
having a boyfriend?
Fuck it.
I just miss her.
We all know you loved Iris.
Why didn't you tell her?
I didn't realise.
She thought I was in love
with some guy.
I wish I could have told
her the truth. Now it's too late.
After we spoke to the police,
Noori was upset because
her boyfriend wouldn't meet her.
She told me.
I thought he lived in America.
I was always jealous of
you and Iris.
She knew her own mind,
she didn't feel that
..pressure.
We all felt that pressure.
I'm sorry.
I
PHONE VIBRATES
It's Jacob.
Now? Get rid of him.
I have to leave tonight.
But I want you to come with me.
- What?
- There's nothing for me here.
And you said it yourself,
didn't you?
You hate how your family are.
I don't want them to charge you.
But it wasn't me.
But you can't trust the police.
They'll want someone to go down
for what happened.
Let's just leave.
Allegra's not answering either.
That couldn't have gone any worse.
What are we doing here?
This is so out of our control.
We should have just
told the police.
We have to accept
that they're going to find what
they're going to find.
I was with them when they
came home that night
..whatever time that needs to be.
Could you do that?
Iris is Yelena's daughter.
What about ours?
PHONE VIBRATES
SHE SIGHS
Hi, Steven.
Yeah, I'm coming back.
What?
You know I'd do anything for you.
- It'll be fun. We can be, like,
outsiders.
- Outsiders?
Oh, come on.
Don't be such a princess.
I'm not being a princess,
I just don't want to be poor.
- Hey, come on.
I don't want to fight.
- No.
I can't live like you.
I
I guess my sister was
right about you.
Thank you. Can we turn the
music off now, please?
APPLAUSE
Our darling daughter has
prepared our favourite song
to sing to you tonight.
- We couldn't love you more.
- Aw!
# Baby, I'm yours
# And I'll be yours
# Until the stars fall from the sky
# Yours until the rivers
all run dry #
I'm going to find Grace now. Bye.
Steven's at the police station.
Why? What's happened?
He was looking into
We Are But Demons Who Dream.
- That text that Iris sent to you.
- It's a chat room
for some very sick people.
Someone's sharing photos of
the girls on there.
All of our kids are on it.
- Why would Iris text you that?
- I don't know.
The site is registered
in Richford Lake.
And this doesn't make any sense
but it's registered to this house.
Jocasta.

The girls were right.

Is Daniel
..your boyfriend?
He loves me.
Please don't say anything,
I didn't mean to.
Grace.
Grace!
Grace!
I'm worried about you, Grace.
I want to talk, huh?
Can we talk?
It's you.
You're the older guy.
Come on.
Let's have a conversation, huh?
I don't want to talk to you.
Grace.
LAUGHTER IN DISTANCE
Grace!
Oh, my God.
That's Daniel.
- Oh, my God.

Please don't hurt me.
I'm not going to.
I just want to make sure you're OK.
You're Jocasta's dad.
Why?
SHE BREATHES RAPIDLY
HE CHUCKLES
You and I have always
Always had a bond, haven't we?
I let you work at my clinic.
I supported you.
- No!
- Get off me!
- Will you stop?
Just stop!
Hey!
- Get the fuck away from my daughter!
- I'm not
I'm not doing anything.
- I'm not
- We know.
- We know. We know about the
chat room.
- No, no, no.
- If you'll let me explain.
- What the hell are you doing?
- What are you doing sharing
photos of teenagers?
- No, no, no!
- No. That's not what happened.
- They're just kids. It's sick.
- You're sick!
- No, no, no. Look.
You go back to the party.
Let us deal with this.
You groomed Iris.
No. No, you've got it wrong.
We all trusted you and you were
sharing photos of your own daughter.
Look, I told you I made a mistake,
but we just talked.
I only looked. I'm not a
Who killed Iris?
I didn't hurt anyone!
HE SCREAMS IN RAGE,
JULIET SCREAMS
- Get off her!
- Crazy fucking women!
LOUD THUMP
Daniel.
He's not breathing.
Try again, Mum. Please.
- He's dead.
- He can't be.
He's bleeding
but he's going to be OK.
SHE BREATHES RAPIDLY
JULIET GROANS
What are we going to do?
SHE RETCHES
We need to think, Lorna, and fast.
I didn't get rid of Iris' phone.
I can't!
Pull him down. Pull him down.

What's happening?
What's going on?
We need to speak to your husband.
What?
Daniel?
He's here. I'll call him. He's
He's here somewhere. Daniel?
Daniel!
Daniel!
What is going on?
We need you to come to the station
whilst we locate your husband.
What?
- HE CLEARS HIS THROA
- Please.
Jocasta.
Please make your way out, guys.
Good night, friend.
Ma'am.
Something you should see.
I don't know how
we got to this, Juliet.
I'm scared.
We had to.
He was threatening our girls.
He was grooming Iris
and he killed her.
That poor girl.
That's why she sent that text,
she was trying to tell someone.
No matter what you
do as a woman or a girl,
you always come up against
the world.
Is anything ever in our control?
Yes.
We took it back.
We took it back, Lorna.
At what cost?
We're just like them now.
Give him the car keys.
Stay away from my daughter.
All the evidence from
digital forensics is back.
Looks like
Daniel Frederick's our guy.
And the phone had traces
of Iris' blood on it.
Just need to find him now.
You didn't really think
those teenage girls
could be capable of murder, did you?
I don't put anything past
teenage girls.
BELL RINGS
TOILET FLUSHES
Everyone thinks it was Iris.
But it wasn't.
I know it was you,
giving Daniel access to
the Catalogue.
He asked me to, and I
I'm sorry.
That's Jocasta's dad.
I know.
Why would you do that?
He never even kissed me, but he
He made me feel special.
We'd drive around talking for hours.
He was using you to get photos.
No, you don't get it. He loved me.
- I know.
- He said I was beautiful.
I know. It's not your fault.
I didn't mean to.
SHE SNIFFLES
I didn't mean to.
I didn't mean to.
You didn't mean to what?
It was an accident. I
What was?
Noori?
Ikeep doing all these
stupid things.
I put Iris' phone in your bag.
- Like
- Why would you do that?
- I'm sorry.
- Why did you have Iris' phone?
Noori, tell me.
The night of the party,
I followed Iris to the woods.
I
She thought it was you who was in
a relationship with Daniel.
You can't tell anyone.
We have to protect Grace.
He's Jocasta's dad.
Iris, wait.
I'm sorry,
but I was so mad.
And I didn't want Iris to ruin it
and tell on him, so I
I
So, what?
What did you do, Noori?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Noori, what did you do?
DOOR OPENS
DOOR CLOSES
Hey.
- What's wrong?
- Hey. Um
Nothing.
Do you think they'll
ever be friends again?
I don't know.
# On the path with my
restless curiosity #
Here's my beautiful fiancee.
Freddie!
This is my brother
..Kyle.
Hello.
It's, er, great to meet you.
It wasn't about what these
women did or didn't do.
It was about how they
were made to feel.
This is a different
kind of video for me.
I lost my friend.
# I'm floating on a moment
# Don't know how long #
How they chose to react when
things were out of their control.
# ..no-one can stay
- # All going to nowhere
- Nowhere #
The secrets they kept.
# All going, make no mistake #
I want to feel better.
# All going to nowhere, nowhere #
Every little choice,
the things they all did.
- # But all we have is here and now
- All going to nowhere #
This fucking fire inside of them.
# All we have is here and now
# All going to nowhere #
The fury, the rage.
We all felt it.
- # All we have is here and now
- All going to nowhere #
I always knew they were wild.
And now, they knew it too.
