.
Sorry to keep you waiting, ladies and gentlemen,
but as you can see we're very proud to announce...
How long have you been in the syndicate? What's your name?
Leanne. Leanne what?
Just Leanne. Are you married, Leanne?
None of your business. What will you spend your money on, Stuart?
Two Ferraris. A nice house for me and my family.
You got a boyfriend?
Any kids? I've got a daughter. Why?
Our readers like to know these things.
What's her name? I'd rather not say.
Big smile, Leanne. Look like you're enjoying yourself.
Where in Wales are you from? The north.
Who are you gonna share it with? My family.
Do they live in Wales? No.
Can you ask someone else a question, please?
Leanne!
(LIVELY CLASSICAL STRINGS)
(LAUGHTER)
Which room is it? Lady Windemere.
It's just down there on the end.
We'll clean your teeth in the morning, sweetheart.
I hope she'll be all right.
I don't know if I should leave her.
It's just like leaving her upstairs in a house. What if she wakes up?
Well...they'll hear her and come and get you.
That's what t'baby listening service is for.
Come on. Just for half an hour. Party's nearly over.
(GENTLE CLASSICAL MUSIC)
(CLICK)
All right? Yeah.
What are you two up to, then? As if I need to ask.
We've just put Stacey to bed. Right.
We have. Don't, Leanne. He's off his face.
Piss off. Anyway, don't bother me what you get up to. I'm not your missus.
All that sniff's giving you brain rot. Tosser.
I'm just going up to bed cos I'm absolutely cream-crackered.
Stacey's in there. She's fast asleep. I'll try not to wake her.
Where's Rodney? I don't know.
He said he was coming upstairs to fetch his camera but he never came back down.
He must've gone to sleep.
We've left the phone off the hook for the listening-in service.
Don't worry. I'll put it back on.
I bet he's still dancing, Bob. Yeah, probably.
We won't be needing the listening-in service.
No problem. I'll cancel it right now.
Have you got any rooms left? I thought you'd booked in.
No, I was gonna drive. But I fancy a drink now.
I'm afraid all our rooms are taken, sir.
But we do have the Bramham Suite.
Yeah. All right.
Denise. Oh!
Oh. Rodney.
I thought you'd gone to bed.
I wouldn't do that without saying good night.
I just rang work to make sure the dogs were settled,
and then I took my shoes off cos my feet were hurting and...
Now I can't get 'em back on. Oh, right. Yeah. Mine do that as well.
I think it's the alcohol.
I've had 'em soaking in t'bidet but they won't go back down.
I was wondering if you fancied a nightcap.
What sort of nightcap?
They've left some sachets of hot chocolate in the room and some home-made cookies.
They're delicious.
I don't mind if I do.
Wow. Bloody hell.
(SHE GIGGLES)
Would madam care for a juniper cherry brandy
or a...Dusky Crow?
Madam wouldn't like to mix her drinks or madam will throw up.
In that case, would madam care for another champagne?
Mm, now you're talking.
Oh. Hiya.
Erm...can I have a bottle of champagne, please?
Yeah, Dom-whatever would be great.
Cheers.
This suite's bigger than my whole flat.
We're millionaires, Leanne.
We're multimillionaires. Multimillionaires!
We won the bloody lottery! I know!
Yes! God!
(LAUGHTER)
Do you know something?
This is the best I've felt since we won.
Yeah. Me, too.
(KNOCKING)
Your champagne, sir. Bloody hell, that were quick.
The suite's our priority.
Good evening, madam. Evening.
Er... (NOTES RUSTLING)
Thank you, sir. Would you like me to light your fire?
In the sitting room.
Through here.
LEANNE: Oh, my God.
(THEY LAUGH)
Imagine living somewhere like this.
And having servants to light your fire.
I can't get my brain around living in that house.
Do you know, I've been all day without a cigarette.
Maybe it's cos you're happy.
I've got two nicotine patches on, though.
It's great about Bob going to South Africa, in't it?
Yeah.
At least he stands a chance now.
You never talk about you, do you?
I've got nothing to say.
I just...lead this boring life.
Don't give me that. I bet you have blokes after you all the time.
I haven't.
I can't remember the last time I went out with a fella.
What happened to Stacey's dad?
He was a bit of a nutter.
We used to have these big rows.
Slightest thing would set him off.
He'd shout and...
I don't really want to go into it all.
Were you scared of him?
Yeah, I suppose I was.
Bastard.
Does he ever ask about Stacey?
I'm not in contact with him any more.
We're better off without him.
Too right.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret of mine.
Go on.
I've decided that...
I'm not gonna let you move away.
Really? Mm-hm.
Why?
What you gonna do?
I dunno. I'll think of summat.
Like what?
Like...
..make you fall in love with me.
You don't have to make me do that.
What?
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that.
What did you mean? No, I was being stupid.
I shouldn't have said anything. Just forget it.
I don't want to forget it.
Please don't move away, Leanne.
I have to.
Why?
Why? Leanne, where are you going?
Leanne!
Why did you suddenly race off? Cos the only reason I'm still here is you, Stuart.
Stacey?
Stacey, where are you?
Denise?
Stacey! Stacey!
Leanne? Stacey! It's Stacey. She's gone.
I thought Denise was... They're not in the room.
She won't be far. Stacey!
I thought you were back in the room. Is Stacey with you?
No. No? Oh, my God. Where is she?
Where's she gone?
I don't know. Rodney asked me if I wanted a nightcap...
Why didn't you tell me, you stupid idiot? I'd never have left her like that.
I'm sorry. I didn't think.
Where is she?
Stacey!
Have you seen a little girl? Fair hair. This big. No.
Stacey!
Have you seen a little girl? Nobody in here, love.
Oh, God, no.
She can't have got far. We'll find her.
Stacey!
Oh, please, God, don't let them have taken her.
Who are you on about? They know I've got money. I won the lottery.
They've kidnapped her... They haven't. Leanne.
Nobody knows you were here. She might've fallen into the lake!
Stacey!
Excuse me.
We've got your daughter.
Oh, my God, Stacey, where have you been?
We found her wandering down the corridor.
I woke up and I couldn't find you.
But you're all right now, aren't you? No thanks to you!
Peter tried ringing your mobile but it just rang out.
Oh, God. I must've left it...
Thanks for looking after her. That was so good of you.
Oh, God, I shouldn't have left you. I don't know what I was thinking of.
I'm sorry. Come on. Let's get you back to bed.
What can I do?
Nothing. She'll be all right in the morning.
Yeah, but I feel like I've really let her down.
It's not your fault.
She trusted me.
Where am I gonna sleep tonight now?
Well, you'll have to sleep in my room.
It's all right. There's a sofa.
Come on.
I'm sorry I left you.
It was only for ten minutes. I promise you I'll never do it again.
It's all right.
You get some sleep now, my little angel.
(SIGHS)
Forgot to give you this. It came to t'shop.
(KOCKING)
Phone.
Cheers.
Are you all right?
I am now.
No-one's gonna take your daughter, Leanne.
How do you know? Cos I do.
You can't carry on living your life thinking that.
I'm going to bed now. I'm tired. See you in the morning, Stuart.
(BELL TOLLING)
Morning.
I thought you'd be having a lie-in, with not being at work any more.
No, I want to get back home, get things sorted.
What are you doing up so early?
Work. Saturday.
It's Denise's last day.
She's having a drink afterwards. I won't be going.
Right.
I'm going to ballet when I get home.
Oh, aren't you lucky! Can I come? No, silly. Big men don't go to ballet.
That's where you're wrong, because I do a mean pirouette. Look.
How are you getting back? I've ordered a taxi.
I can give you a lift. No, it's all right. It's coming now.
Morning. Morning.
Hiya. Morning.
I'm really sorry about last night, Leanne.
Can I give you something towards the room? No, it's fine.
You're still mad with me, aren't you? Sugarwell Hill, please.
I'll ring you, yeah?
Cheers. Keep the change. Thank you very much.
Come on, Stacey. Come on.
Stop looking at him.
Is that man following us? Come on, Stacey.
Who is he? I don't know. Stay there.
Come on. He's coming.
Quick! Come on. Come on.
That's £8.10, then, please.
I didn't think any of you'd still work here.
It'll only be me after the end of today.
We finish at t'end of t'month, so I'm gonna stick it out.
£1.90. Cheers.
So, Leah's left, has she?
Who?
Sorry. I think you know her as Leanne. Oh, right. Yeah.
Why? Do you know her? I'm married to her.
I don't think so. Nearly nine years now, mate.
Only, she was called Leah Powell back then.
I saw her in the newspaper, celebrating your win.
Yeah, well, this ain't her. It is.
She made a good job of changing her image, but I'd know her anywhere.
Well, I don't think she wants to know you.
It's amazing how people come out of t'woodwork.
I'm not looking for money. I just need to make contact.
I sent her a letter here but she hasn't got back.
You got a number or an address? Like I'm gonna give it.
She's 35 minutes late. Are you gonna sack her?
My number's on the back.
Ask her to give me a call, please. It's important.
Cheers.
If I weren't so short-staffed, I'd ring Denise and tell her not to bother coming.
She's doing you a favour. She's got nearly four million.
She could've just walked but she didn't.
I don't care how much she's got in the bank.
What did he want?
Just some bloke asking for Leanne. Not another one?
A bloke last night asked where she lived. You didn't tell him?
Did I hell! I don't know her number.
I just said, "The flats at top of Sugarwell Hill." I wasn't sure which.
You are such a wanker. I beg your pardon?
Let me get this straight. You told a complete stranger where an employee lives?
Well, she's not an employee any longer.
You've worked for Right Buy U for 20 years? 22.
Ever ask why you haven't been given a store to manage?
I'm more useful to them as a floater.
Yeah - one that won't flush down t'toilet.
(PHONE RINGS) I think you'd better take that back.
You owe me an apology! What's up?
Where are you? Excuse me. I'm talking to you.
I said...
You walk out of this shop, you needn't bother coming back!
We've got to go. What's the matter?
Someone's looking for you. He came into t'shop. You just missed him.
Me car's round back.
I'm a little bit late and they're short-staffed. Yes. I'm sorry. I won't keep you.
I just wanted to say that I knew that you were upset
and I didn't want to take advantage, that's all.
No. I would've loved to have taken advantage...
I'm sorry. I'm not very good at these things.
Are you saying that you like me or you don't? Of course I like you.
I just didn't want to appear too forward, that's all.
I'm sorry if I've made you later than you already...
No, it's all right. It's my last day.
I'm having a drink after work in The Bridge and you can join us if you like.
I'd like that very much.
I'll see you after seven.
Where you gonna go first? I'm gonna go in there.
Yeah? Have fun.
(PHONE RINGS)
Amy?
I can't deal with her right now.
She'll want to bollock me for not coming home last night.
So who's the man outside your flat? I've no idea.
Think it's anything to do with your husband?
What husband?
His number's on t'back.
He wants you to ring him.
Don't lie to me, Leanne.
If nothing else, I'm your friend. You can tell me anything.
I'm not ringing him.
Don't, then.
What do you think he wants? Money. To get me back.
I don't know.
Do you want me to ring him? No.
I just want him to go away.
I didn't want to go public about the win
and have my picture plastered all over the papers.
Well, it's too late now, innit?
That's why I've got to leave here.
Are you gonna run from him all your life?
You don't understand. No, I don't.
There's something you're not telling me.
Is it Stacey? What do you mean?
Has he got visiting rights?
He's got no rights. He doesn't care about her. He's her dad.
No, he's not. But I thought...
You thought wrong.
That's part of the problem.
Sorry, I... I didn't mean to...
Look, I'll take you to our house and then I'll go and get your stuff.
I can go in a hotel. I'd rather you'd be with me.
I mean, it's better you're with people in case...
What will Amy say? She won't be happy. I mean, she never is.
I'll just buy her another handbag.
Hello? Anybody home? I thought you were at work.
Oh, hello, love. Hiya.
You remember Leanne from t'shop? Course I do.
This is her daughter, Stacey. Hello, sweetheart.
Hello.
Where's Amy? Gone back to bed. She's been throwing up.
She came in at five this morning, plastered, and she set the alarm off and woke us all up.
I'll just get the little one a biscuit.
Our Jamie's here. So I gathered.
Come through.
Hey, get your own house, you pillock.
Don't want me own house, shithead. I've got a pad above a club.
What are you doing in my dressing gown? I was in t'pool. Didn't want to drip on your floor.
Ey-up, Leanne. How you doing? All right.
She's staying here for a bit. Oh, yeah?
Her flat's flooded.
Good do last night. Bob was on form.
Yeah? Considering. Say thank you.
You were off early. Debbie were doing me head in.
Hey, cowboy. Hope you've been good for Nana.
Apart from waking up in t'night - and that weren't his fault.
If you hadn't set the bloody alarm. We could've been robbed.
You did it on purpose. You knew I were coming back...
What are all you lot doing here? Shall we go into t'room?
I've been phoning you all morning.
What's the point of having a phone if you don't use it?
I was serving. I'm more important than the bloody shop.
What are you still working there for, anyway?
I might not be now. I've just been sacked. Oh, hallelujah.
It wasn't cos of me, was it?
Why would it be to do with you?
You did me a favour. I just needed an excuse...
Excuse me. I asked a question.
I asked Stuart if he'd help me. Do what?
We need to talk in private. It's a bit difficult. It's like a drop-in centre.
I think I'll just go. No, you won't. Mam, make her a brew.
Come and sit down, love.
She's always a cow when she's hung-over.
Amy.
I'm not stupid. I never said you was.
So why didn't you come home last night? I wanted a drink...
You didn't even ring me. I knew you were out.
If I find out you've been messing me about. I'm not.
What's she doing here, then?
I said she could stay for a bit.
In case you haven't noticed, I live here too.
Her husband's found out where she lives and he's hounding her.
You know something? You're a crap liar. I'm not lying.
Look.
He came into t'shop, looking for her.
He wants to get back in touch with her.
His number's on t'back. She looks completely different.
So...if he doesn't know how he can get in touch with her,
how can he know where she lives?
Jimmy told him.
Look, it's just till we get her sorted.
What's that mean?
I'm gonna go and get all her stuff...
..and if it's all right with you, I'm gonna bring it back here.
Do I have a choice?
Course you do.
Are we going to ballet, Mummy? I'm not sure, darling.
Maybe. Oh, please.
I always wanted a little girl to take to t'ballet but I got two boys instead.
Cheers, Mam. I like your gun.
Is it real?
No, but he's got a better one than that.
Go get the one Auntie Joan bought you for Christmas, Jack.
So what you bought with your money so far?
Oh, um, nothing, really.
A few clothes. That's all.
I'm gonna buy a house when I get settled.
Every week I think about what I'd spend the money on if I won.
Yeah, I used to do that.
It's weird. It's more fun thinking about what you're going to spend the money on
than when it really happens.
It must be nice having two rich sons to treat you, though.
I haven't seen a penny off either of them yet.
Said I'd pay for your holiday and get you driving lessons. What more do you want?
I'd best get off, then. Have you got a door key?
Drop me at St Michael's. I can take Stacey to ballet and check the train times for tomorrow.
Don't wander round Headingley on your own. I'll be all right.
You could pick us up after and I've got my phone on me.
There you go, look at that. You'd think that were real, wouldn't you?
I thought I'd taken them off him. He wanted them back.
I don't like him having guns. JOYCE: All lads play with guns.
Guns! Try having one shoved in your face.
AMY: Stuart, he were just playing.
What are you making a big thing of it for?
It's just a toy.
Bang, bang.
Bang. Bang.
Got you.
As you can see, he's white and about your build.
Thousands of blokes are thin like me.
I'd know if it were my own brother! I'm sure you would.
STUART: Swear to God, come two years, my brother will be stone broke again.
He sunk a million into t'lap dancing club,
he's got a Ferrari, a Porsche... and he's back on charlie.
Is that why he was in trouble with the police? Yeah, but other stuff.
He's always in debt to someone.
You don't think he had anything to do with the robbery?
What, at the shop? Yeah.
No.
He's an idiot but he's harmless.
I don't mean he did it, but he could've told someone we had money in the safe.
He wouldn't do that to me. He left first, said he was going out from work.
When Denise went round, he was still in his uniform.
He changed his mind, I think t'lass rang him.
Why didn't he tell the police that?
I don't know.
Do you want me to wait for you?
No, it's all right. I've got to explain to the teacher she won't be coming again.
I'm not going to ballet any more?
We'll find you another ballet class, sweetheart.
Where shall I meet you? Back here in an hour.
Right, I'll go get your stuff and drop it off at t'house.
Thank you.
It's all in the hall by the door -
two big suitcases and some bags.
Everything else, just leave.
So you were all packed up, then?
Yeah...I'd given notice.
I was leaving, anyway.
Come on.
Where are you going with that? I'm putting them in t'sauna to dry.
You're not. Put them in t'tumble drier.
It costs a fortune! T'sauna's already on.
I don't want them in the sauna.
Please yourself, put them where you like. But she's running out of vests.
I'm making some soup if you want some.
Great.
What are you still doing here?
That's a nice way to talk to your future brother-in-law.
I'm checking me and you are cool. Why wouldn't we be?
(TEXT ALERT)
That's a first.
Dumped by text.
Thought you said Debbie weren't your girlfriend?
Obviously she thought she was.
Is she pretty? Not really.
She had great tits, though.
That's her dan... Better not show you that one. What is it?
Nothing. Come on. Is it dirty?
No comment.
Nothing you could show me would shock me.
Oh, I think this would.
Really?
Yeah.
It's your old man.
Stuart?
I'm kidding.
Let me see.
No.
Give it here, Jamie, I'm serious. Don't drip on my phone!
What are they doing?
I'm saying nothing.
Excuse me... is it possible for you to drive me to Scotland?
Or Cornwall, if it's easier.
Wherever you want, love. Get in.
Not now, tomorrow morning, if that's OK.
This is my mobile. Cheers, thanks.
Scotland! (CHUCKLES)
When did Stuart drop all this stuff off?
JOYCE: About ten minutes ago. You were in the shower.
So, if I pass my test, are you going to buy me a car?
You've got two sons, Mam.
If I pay for your lessons, our Stu can get you a car.
Our Stuart's been good to me.
I've got my own room, I can have anything I want.
I don't have to pay rent.
Yeah, cos you look after their kids. You're a cheap nanny.
Anyway, I've put into t'club now, so I need me money.
I'm your mam and I've had a lot to put up with all these years,
bailing you out of trouble, having me doors kicked in.
What do you want - a medal? I want a car!
When I was getting ready to move here, I was clearing everything out.
And I found something at the bottom of your wardrobe.
Porn DVD? Drugs?
What are you talking about?
Be careful, little ears.
I thought it were a shoe bag for your posh trainers at first.
Then I looked carefully and it dawned on me what it was.
A cash bag.
Right. I'm off.
A little red Mini with a hood would be nice.
You can pay for the tap separately or pay for them together. Which would you prefer?
If I give you 80 now, can I give you the rest next week when I come in?
Sure. I'll make a note of it.
All right.
Sorry to interrupt. Do you know where Stacey is?
She went five minutes ago with her daddy.
What? He said you'd asked him to pick her up.
Why didn't you check?
She seemed very happy to go with him.
What's the matter? Where's Stacey?
He's taken her - Gareth. He's changed his number. Where's that photo?
I don't know. I gave it to Amy.
What for? I need it! Just ring her.
I knew something like this was gonna happen.
He can't just take her. We should ring t'police. No, I don't want that.
It's against the law. You can't take a kid.
How did he know she was at ballet?
No idea.
(RINGING TONE)
(PHONE RINGS)
Mam, can you put Amy on?
All right.
It's our Stuart. He wants to talk to you.
What do you want?
Have you got that photograph? What photograph?
The one I showed you with t'number on back.
What do you want it for? Just give me t'number.
Why should I? Cos I'm telling you to.
You lied to me. What you on about?
Are you with her?
I'm trying to help her. What's she saying?
I've looked on the internet.
There's things you should know about the lovely Leah.
I need that number, Amy.
Tough.
What's happening? Has she gone to get it? It's all right.
(PHONE RINGS)
That's my phone. Stuart? Yeah.
Yeah.
Leave it to me.
Right, madam.
You either give me that number or I'll tell our Stuart you were messing around
with someone in t'pool at five this morning.
Do you know what?
I'm a brilliant ballet dancer.
(CHUCKLES)
I didn't know you were my daddy.
You were only two when you left.
When's Mummy coming?
Looks like she's here now.
Mum!
How many times have I told you never to go anywhere with someone you've just met?
He said he was my daddy! Are you mental?
What are you doing? Stuart, get off!
Why are they fighting? Stuart, get off him! Leave him alone!
Don't look, just don't look. But he took Stacey.
No, she took Stacey!
Please don't, not in front of... Don't, please.
I don't care what you did!
That's all in the past.
I've been trying to contact you since I saw you in the newspaper,
cos I need you to sign these divorce papers.
My girlfriend's pregnant.
We want to get married before the baby's born.
You're gonna have...
You're gonna be a father?
Yeah. So, you see, it wasn't my fault.
I never said it was.
Will someone tell me what's going on?
There's a man that's been hanging round the flat where I live.
Yeah, that's someone my solicitor's been in touch with up here.
He's been looking for you for a week to serve you the papers.
Who told you where Stacey was?
Some woman rang me, I didn't catch her name.
If you'll just sign the papers, I'll go and you'll never see me again.
Oh, cheers.
Bye-bye, Stacey.
You're not gonna be my daddy any more?
I was just a pretend daddy, darling.
But you know what?
You're really lucky.
Cos you've got a great mummy to look after you.
Have you told anybody where...
No, no. Not a soul.
I don't get it. What did you do?
Can we go and see the butterflies?
Yes.
Why not?
We tried for two years for a baby.
We had IVF and everything, it was just...
It just didn't happen.
So we decided to foster first.
And if that went well, we were gonna try and adopt.
You and Gareth? Yeah.
They explained things to us and...
I thought I could handle it.
We talked about it.
We thought we could give a child a break and help the parents.
So was Stacey adopted?
They rang us on the Monday night
and told us they had a brand-new baby that needed fostering.
The mother was an addict. She already had three children she couldn't manage.
We collected Stacey from the hospital the next morning.
What I didn't bank on was just the feeling I got when they put her in my arms...
She looked up at me and I just...
It's all right, you don't have to tell me.
I'm sorry, I do.
I have to tell someone.
I can't keep this to myself any longer.
We had her for nearly two years.
We nursed her through teething, croup - everything.
It was three weeks before the final hearing
and we'd been told, if it went well, we'd be able to adopt her.
And then just...
Just out of the blue, the birth mother asked to see her again.
I couldn't give her up.
The morning I knew they were coming to take her,
I just grabbed some things and I left.
Without Gareth?
He couldn't do it.
I've been on the run ever since.
Mum!
It's on my finger!
What the bloody hell's going on here?
That's all my stuff!
What's all Leanne's stuff doing on t'drive?
I don't want them in the house. Now, Stuart.
What's up? This is Phillipa Fenton,
a social worker from the Family Unit.
Why's she here? Do you know where Leah Powell is?
No idea who you're talking about. He's talking about Leanne, little Miss Perfect.
Her name's Leah Powell, she took someone's baby - she's a kidnapper.
We don't know that. That's what it said on t'internet.
Don't believe her, she's making it all up.
It's the truth. And another thing, I don't want that bitch near my kids.
Can I speak? What if she kidnaps Daisy or Jack?
Do either of you know where Leanne... Leah, or whatever, is?
LEANNE: I'm here.
Was your former name Leah Powell?
Yes.
I'm arresting you, Leah Powell, on suspicion of child abduction.
You don't have to say anything... I don't believe this! Jesus Christ!
Are you happy now? Got what you wanted?
You have no idea what you've just done.
We've contacted the South Wales Police and they're on their way.
In the meantime, accompany us down to the station.
What about Stacey? That's why Phillipa's here.
I don't want to leave her. Mummy!
We can take her to a residential care home... I don't want that.
Have you any relatives nearby? I don't have anyone.
We can look after her. No, we won't.
It's not up to you. Me and Mam will do it.
You'd choose her over me and your children? I'm not choosing anyone!
You make me sick!
Is that all right if she stays with us?
PHILLIPA: We'll have to do some police checks.
My mam's a dinner lady and has had that done.
Stacey, would you like to stay at... Stuart.
..Stuart's house for a little bit, while Mummy helps us answer some questions?
It won't be for long, darling. Are you having a sleepover?
I don't know.
I might be...
(STIFLES SOBS)
You can stay in Daisy's room.
She's got fairy lights.
Want to come and have a look?
I'll see you soon.
Always remember...
I love you.
She'll need a solicitor.
Is that Peter? I met you last night at your dad's party.
Joyce Bradley. I'm Stuart, I used to work with Bob.
She was a dinner lady...
JOYCE: Stuart! Hang on a minute. I'm up here!
What's going on and who's she?
I'll tell you in a minute. Will you look after Stacey while I take this call?
Sorry, I was talking to my mam.
I had your number on my mobile from when you rang about the party.
My friend needs a solicitor and I don't know anyone else.
Come and see what we've bought.
She needs one straightaway. We've got money to pay for t'best.
It's a Welsh case, it's nothing to do with us.
What if the police don't arrive till morning? She's distressed at not being with the child,
the child is distressed at not being with her mother.
What if she bolts again? She's a lottery winner, she can get on a plane and fly anywhere.
She hasn't got any previous or ever been in any trouble.
She's gonna get Section 47(3) bail, anyway.
Fine. It's their call, not mine.
Look, I like the girl.
I feel sorry for her.
You're gonna keep her in a cell overnight.
You've changed, Amy. And you haven't?
The Stuart I fell in love with would have never shagged someone else.
I ain't shagged anyone! Don't give me that.
Jamie has a photo of you two sneaking into a hotel room.
He's just trying to mix it between us.
Anyway, you were the one that didn't come in till five this morning.
You mean while you were out shagging the child-snatcher?
I don't want you in this house any more. Tough.
I'm not going anywhere.
This is as much my house as yours.
If you don't want to be with me, you can piss off!
Remember, you don't have to say anything.
In fact, it's probably better if you wait for my colleague.
He's a specialist in child custody. It's not really my field.
But...
Leanne, I've decided we'll start the interview when the Welsh team get here.
I'm afraid our accommodation's a bit grim.
For now, it's all I can offer you.
We will try and get you out tomorrow.
That will depend on the CP and Inspector Owen.
Can I speak to my daughter? She's entitled to a phone call.
Please.
He's not answering his phone.
He shot off early, didn't even say ta-ra.
Cos he knows I'll kick his head in!
What's he done now? Causing trouble, as usual.
He took a photo of me and Leanne at the hotel and showed Amy.
(PHONE RINGS)
Hello?
Are you all right?
Yeah, just a minute.
(TV OFF)
Stacey, it's your mam.
Stacey?
Stacey, it's Mummy.
Are you coming to Stuart's house to pick me up?
I might have to stay here for a little bit, Angel.
But...
Stuart and his mummy will look after you till I get back.
Your pyjamas and your toothbrush...
are in your wheelie case, OK?
Your reading book and your DS are in the front compartment.
Can you hear me, Stacey?
Are you still there?
Don't be cross with me, sweetheart.
Stacey, I want to be with you.
I'd give anything to be with you now but...
..I can't.
Mummy's got to go now, OK?
Don't forget to clean your teeth.
And I love you.
I love you too.
I got it.
Night-night, pet.
Night.
Thank you.
Will you watch 'em while I go out?
Don't go looking for our Jamie. I won't.
It's Denise's leaving do. I have to let her know what's going on.
Come here, Jack. Give us a cuddle.
Goodnight. It'll be all right, Stacey.
I think it's bedtime, kids.
Don't worry. We'll try and get you an interview first thing in the morning.
You should be out by lunchtime at the latest.
Seems like DCI Owen's driver put his foot on the gas. She's here.
We'll continue with the interview if that's all right.
It's up to you. The sooner we get it out of the way, the sooner you're back with Stacey.
Let's not jump the gun and raise her hopes. It might not be possible.
What do you mean? What?
They may decide Stacey should be returned to her natural mother.
She doesn't even know her! It's not in the interests of the child.
We can't second guess what's gonna happen.
I'm part owner of this place. I'm really after some quality.
You, outside! I'm talking. What you doing?
Did you show Amy a photo of me and Leanne on your phone? Did you?
Don't know what you're talking about. Show me your phone.
What for? Cos you're a lying bastard!
That's why!
You do anything like that again and I'll kill you.
I've told you three times.
I went to Swansea station...
..and I got on the first train that was leaving.
Even though you knew what you were doing was wrong?
You don't have to answer that.
I thought what I was doing was right.
Stacey always got upset if I had to leave her.
Even if it was with my husband.
She's a Mummy's girl and I just...
I knew she'd scream the place down.
I couldn't stand to just...
OK, my client has been answering questions for over an hour and a half.
It's clear there was no premeditated intent.
It was a moment of maternal instinct to protect the child she had nursed
and nurtured for the best part of two years.
Right now, we have a distressed child.
It'd be in the best interests of all concerned to return the mother as soon as possible.
I would like to suggest bail pending further investigation.
I just wanted to explain why she was so wound up last night.
I'm glad you did.
That explains it all, dun't it?
Why she wouldn't leave Stacey with anyone else
and why she always kept herself to herself.
She's gonna need as much support as she can get right now.
Yeah.
Are you sure I can't get you another drink?
It's all right, my mam's got t'kids. Best get back.
Thank you.
I just wanted you to know, you know, before you found out off anyone else.
If you need any help at all, I'm only doing two days a week at the dogs' home.
Can I ask you something?
Of course you can.
Did you vote for me to get t'lottery money?
Of course I did.
It were me and you that started t'syndicate.
Honestly, Stuart.
(MOBILE RINGS)
..basically a difficult one, she's been accused of abducting a child...
Stuart!
Leanne. Come here.
Are you all right?
I think so.
I'm so sorry, Leanne.
It's me that should be saying I'm sorry for all the lies I told you.
Oh, no.
I understand why you couldn't tell us the truth.
But we'd have been there for you, wouldn't we?
100 per cent.
Don't you think I was a terrible person?
We'd never think that.
We're your friends.
I just don't understand how you managed for all of those years.
I just took one step at a time.
I rented a flat and only went out when I had to.
What did you do about work?
I've always worked from home or somewhere they didn't ask questions.
Didn't Bob ask your National Insurance number?
I made it up.
You made it up? I expected him to get back to me but he didn't.
My giddy aunt!
Wait till he finds out about that!
So what's gonna happen?
I'm out on bail.
Will you take me to see Stacey? Of course.
Hi, mate. How's it going?
These are your bail conditions, Leanne.
You're all right getting home? I'll take her. The car's outside.
Thanks for everything, mate. No problem.
I'll be in touch when we get a date for the magistrate.
I'll give Nigel Crawford your details - the best barrister I know.
I can't thank you enough. Don't be silly, it's my job.
I'm glad Stuart got in touch. I didn't know anyone else.
Next time you see my dad, put a good word in.
Of course. Did he get his flight all right?
Yeah, they'll still be up in the air.
I'll keep you posted. See you later.
Bye.
I've got to report to a police station every day till the court hearing.
Our Jamie had to do that. I'll come with you.
I've got to go now, cos Rodney's in t'car, waiting.
I'll call you. Yeah, do.
Bye. See you, Denise.
So Stacey can stay with you?
For now, yeah.
I had to give them an address I could be bailed to so I gave them yours. I hope that's all right.
Yeah, of course it is.
Mummy's back, my little angel.
So you've chosen her, have you?
Stuart, did you hear what I said?
I don't want to talk to you right now.
Well, I want to talk to you.
I didn't stay for a sleepover after all.
