BOBBI: 'We're here today to discuss the murder of Stella's daughter,
'Maisy Tomlinson, on the 10th of December 2018.'
CHARLES: 'Hello, Stella.
'I can't begin to imagine the pain you've suffered from that night.
'I wanna ask if you'll meet me.'
As if we'd wanna be anywhere near that man ever again.
'Set it up. I'll meet with Charles Stone.
'I need you to tell me why you killed my daughter.'
I didn't kill her.
What?
'The people who set me up, they're still out there.
'Now there's another girl from Millfields. She's missing.'
Her name is Cleo Dale! Get him off me!
Cleo Dale!
She's not gone missing, has she? Did she know Maisy?
Yeah, they were pals.
Yeah, I'm sorting it.
'I'm gonna be with you soon, I promise.'
Thanks for coming back.
'I want you to tell me about this missing girl.'
'Her name is Cleo Dale.'
'And what do you think she's got to do with my daughter?'
'This past three years in here,
'I have had nothing but time.
'Time to look for any scrap,
'any explanation, any connection to Millfields,
'to your daughter, Maisy.
'I think Cleo might be that connection.
'I think she's in danger.'
You said you were set up.
That someone sent you to my house that night. Who?
I thought this is what you wanted. I'm here. Yeah, I know.
It was the McKellers.
I used to work for them.
Why didn't you mention that at the trial?
You're from Millfields.
You know that family, what they're capable of.
My boy still lives on that estate. They know him.
What's that got to do with Cleo Dale?
Her mum, she's an addict, she buys off them.
I know that because I sold to her.
What you saying? That they've taken her
cos her mum's got a debt or summat?
I don't know, but maybe.
They're ruthless, Stella.
They take people hostage,
they torture them until their families pay up,
sometimes worse. I've seen it.
Why did you run?
What? Why did you run?
You're saying you're innocent, so why did you run?
Why didn't you stay and try and save her?
I did try.
There was nothing that I could do. She was already gone.
Stella, no-one would have believed me.
I'd just found her like that.
I had to run.
What made you come back?
What changed?
If you know something about Cleo, I can help.
Stella...
HE LAUGHS
Good to be back in the old stomping ground,
i'nt it, duck?
Come here.
So, come on, then. What's got you worrying about this Cleo girl, then?
I went to see Charles again.
What, part of that scheme?
No.
Then why?
She was a mate of Maisy's from the stables.
My mum recognised her from the missing person's profile.
Charles thinks that Cleo going missing
is connected to Maisy somehow.
He said it was the McKellers that set him up,
and he thinks they might have taken Cleo.
I don't know. I mean, maybe Cleo knows something about the murder.
No. Stop, stop, stop.
Babes, you're just clutching at straws.
It's not wise, throwing shade on that family.
Is that why you wanted to come here?
Do you think they work for the McKellers?
No. I don't know, could well do.
Well, no-one's talking about her, Remy. Do the police even know?
Do they care? Yeah, yeah, course.
OK, then, do you know where she's been staying? Yeah.
She's staying at Riverside Lodge.
I spoke to social services.
Cleo's run away before.
Carers are working with the missing persons' team.
They don't seem worried.
'Ere y'are, look, I've got one night off this week.
That's all. Can we just at least try and enjoy ourselves?
Yeah, sorry. Thank you.
HE CRIES GENTLY
Shut up.
HE CRIES GENTLY
All right, listen.
You need to shut the fuck up,
unless you want everyone in here to hear you like this.
You have no idea what it's like in here.
Hey, you wanna cry, you swallow it.
You don't make a sound.

DOORBELL RINGS
Hi. Bobbi called.
SHE SIGHS
Wanted to check in after your meeting.
Well, come in, then.
RUNNING WATER
How could you meet with him?
Stella?
Well, I just wanted to hear from him what really happened.
Oh, and did he tell ya?
Well, he said that he's still innocent,
but he did tell me that he was working for the McKellers.
Oh, Stella... And then he told me
that there's another girl missing, who was mates with Maisy,
and he thinks that they're connected.
Are you serious? Yeah, I'm serious.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You're smoking too much of that shit again, obviously.
Shut up.
We both know they didn't find everything.
They didn't find the phone, they didn't find the murder weapon.
Yeah, because he dumped 'em! He knew what he was doing.
How can you be so sure?
There were no other suspects.
And you found him with her!
Yeah, I know that, but this is new information... Stop! No!
You can't ignore it. He's got inside your head!
I don't... Why?
Why are you dragging this nightmare out even longer?
Because I want to know what happened to her. No! No! This stops now!
He's taken enough from us, Stella.
I don't want you to speak to him,
I don't want you to see to him. Just leave him alone!
Look, look, he's using ya to try and get out.
It's either that or he's playing a sick game.
Either way, he's a monster, Stella.
KETTLE BOILING
POURING WATER
Do you want one?
Yeah.
POURING WATER
So, what happened?
What?
News travels fast in this place. We've all heard what you did.
I'd fell out with my girlfriend.
Went out on a bender.
I were off my face. I were driving too fast.
Didn't see her until it was too late.
She were pregnant.
But the only way
that I'll ever be able to look at my little girl in the eyes
and ask her for a second chance is knowing that I've done my time.
I wanna be punished.
This place will do more than that to you.
Let it.
How else am I gonna get forgiveness?
Give it time.
You got plenty of that now.
'I grew up on this estate.
'Must have been hard here, after everything that happened.'
MAN: 'It's my home.'
'I've been to see Charles.
'He said he was set up.
'But I read your interview.'
You called him The Millfields Monster.
So you think he did it?
Charles is... complicated.
How do you mean?
He weren't like other kids.
He'd get so angry.
One minute, he'd be fine,
the next minute, he'd completely lose it.
Like he'd become a different person.
Got worse...
..when his mum died.
He was only ten.
She hadn't been well in a long time. Took things out on Charles.
She was violent?
Towards Charles?
She never took to him.
She'd lash out.
I was away with work.
Do you mind me asking how she died?
She did it to herself.
Cut her wrists.
He was the one who found her.
Then a neighbour spotted him through the window,
covered in his mum's blood.
After that, I always worried.
But I never imagined...
I'm so sorry...
..for what he did to your daughter.
PHONE RINGS
Remy.
'After what you said about Cleo, I had a look into it.' And?
'Well, a week before she disappeared, she called the police.'
What? What about?
'She said she had information she wanted to share
'about Maisy's murder.' What did she say?
'Dunno. They asked her to come in, but she never turned up.'
Right, erm...
Remy, where did you say she was staying?
Who are you? What, are you her mum? No.
I'm not her mum. I'm her friend.
Do you live here? Are you a mate of Cleo's?
Look, I don't suppose you know where she is, do ya?
I'm kinda worried about her.
No.
Do you know where her mum lives? Just so I can get in touch.
Nah. Look, I didn't really know her that well, so....
CHARLES: 'Her mum... she's an addict,
'and she buys off them.
'And I know that because I used to sell it to her.'
Oh, come on, Jess.
Oh, ain't he gorgeous, Stella?
Kelvin's nephew's usually the carver.
He's off sick with a dicky tummy, or you'd have met him.
Sounds like that's best for everybody involved.
He's got curls like a lamb. Dead hunky.
But he's going through a messy divorce... Mum, just...
I'm just putting it out there for when he's back on the market.
You got kids, then, Kelvin?
Er, no.
Er, been a stepdad a fair few times, though.
I bet they've loved coming to the stables over the years.
Yeah.
Do you, erm, keep the girls' addresses on file?
Er, no, love, I don't, no.
You must do, I mean, just in case there's an accident.
You must have to keep it for next of kin.
You can't delete... Stella!
That's enough.
You couldn't just have a nice meal with Kelvin
and make it all about him, could ya? You've got it right on you today.
I'd have told ya if you'd just asked.
Told me what? I know what you want.
SHE SIGHS I know where Cleo's mam lives.
I'm just gonna use the lav, love, all right?
Tell me, then.
I'm worried about you, duckie.
I don't want to encourage this erratic behaviour.
Just tell me.
Well, I will. I just want my dinner first.
DOG BARKS INSIDE
BARKING
Yeah? It's Cleo's mum, innit?
Yeah, what about it? BARKING CONTINUES
I'm looking for her.
What's she done?
Nothing.
She's missing. You do know that, don't ya?
DOG BARKS MAN: 'Shut that animal up!'
Look, I've told your lot. I can't keep track.
She'll be back when it suits her.
'Elaine! Who's that?'
Social.
'Get rid of her!'
Cleo knew something about the Maisy Tomlinson murder.
Did she ever say anything to you about it?
I know you.
You're not from the social.
You're her mum.
And you come round here, telling me how to look after my daughter?
Who was looking after yours, eh?
I'm only trying to help.
That's my number.
Like I say, I'm just trying to... help.
DOG BARKS
'No one's looking for her.
'No one's missing her. She's just some runaway.'
CHARLES: 'If a girl like Cleo disappears,
'people don't ask questions.
'It's good that you are.'
I went to see your dad.
Did he apologise for me?
He told me about your mum.
He told me that you were the one who found her.
It wasn't her fault.
Not really. I can see that now.
She was ill.
But my dad, he ignored things.
He saw the bruises, he heard the things she called me.
He never said a word.
And then after she died, he just never looked at me the same again.
You said your son lives in Millfields, too.
Are they close?
Yeah, Teddy's leaned on him a bit these past few years.
Does he believe you?
Teddy?
Yeah.
You'll have to ask him that.
DOORBELL RINGS
Hi, Teddy. I'm Stella.
Yeah, yeah, I know who you are.
Do you wanna come in?
Just through there.
You OK with me asking you questions about your dad?
Yeah, yeah, course. It's the least I can do.
Was he popular round here?
Yeah, erm, he was a whirlwind.
You know, whenever he was out of prison,
it was just chaos.
Drinking, partying. People kinda gravitated towards him.
I don't suppose you have any trouble with the McKellers nowadays, do ya?
No. I ain't got owt to do with them.
Not since he went down. I've stayed well clear.
Erm, you know, erm, my dad, he's never mentioned the McKellers
in connection with anything.
He's kept us safe. DOOR OPENS
Oh, that'll be my girlfriend home from work. She...
All right, babe? Oh, sorry.
I didn't... No, no, it's all right.
I'm just helping Stella,
answering a few questions about my dad.
Er, this is Grace.
Charles told us about your, er, meeting with him.
Thanks for...
I dunno, it must take a lot to...
Just trying to find out a bit more about what happened.
That's no bad thing.
I'm gonna pop the kettle on.
All right, thanks, love. I'll leave you two to it.
When I spoke to your grandad...
Well, he believes that your dad did do it.
Do you?
What do you want me to say?
He's my dad.
CHARLES: 'So, Stella...'
..what was she asking?
Just everything that you said she would.
And what did you say?
Everything you told me to.
Look, Dad, you know I support you, don't ya?
Yeah, I do. Listen to me.
My hands are tied in here.
You're my eyes and my ears out there.
Do you hear me?
I love you. I'm relying on you.
I just don't want the McKellers getting involved.
Don't worry about the McKellers. Of course I'm worried about it.
I've got it under control.
Yeah, I've heard that before.
Just be careful.
Whatever your plans are, please don't forget us in it.
Look at me. What have I told you?
I've got it under control.
All right.
Dad... Go on, just say it.
Spit it out. What?
Grandad wants to see ya.
Why?
Cos he's dying.
Look, I want you to meet with him, Dad.
Will you let him come, please?
Dad?
No.
Dad, just think... I said no.
I'm sick of this.
It's gonna be me picking up the pieces
if you leave it too late. Grandad dies, and you haven't...
Who do you think you're fucking talking to?
I'll smack you across the fucking face.
I'm your father. You show me some respect.
I said no.
All right.
Go and get us a cup of tea.
Yeah.

I just want it to be right.
Otherwise, it's muggings here that's gonna get hurt, in't it?
How can you be so sure?
Because you chose him.
I'm sorry.
I was an idiot.
We were just kids, Remy.
I know, but...
..I thought that you thought that Paul was, I dunno...
..better than me.
Dunno why. He's a right arrogant prick.
Thinks his coke habit's OK
because he does coke in a dinner party
rather than in a pub toilet.
Well, he did knock that on the head when I got pregnant.
What?
Well, I caught him picking up not that long back. Did ya?
When?
Oh, forget I said it.
I mean, I didn't say anything cos, you know,
you and Maisy and that, but he's always been a cokehead.
Right, so where did he pick up from?
It's not really... It was the McKellers, wasn't it?
Everyone's shifting coke in Notts these days.
You what I mean? And, yeah, of course,
most of it goes through the McKellers first.
DOOR OPENS
What are you doing here?
I was hoping we could have a chat.
I've been learning some things tonight,
about you buying drugs off the McKellers.
Remy told me everything. About what?
About your coke habit. About him catching ya.
He's always had an agenda with you, ain't he?
SHE SIGHS Who are you to talk, anyway?
Fucking state you used to come home in after a night out.
Charles was working for the McKellers.
He was sent to our house that night.
And now I find out that you've been buying drugs off them?
I picked up off a kid in the street. I didn't even know he was a McKeller
until the fucking super cop turned up.
Well, you can't be messing with these people.
So, what, did you owe them money or summat?
What are you suggesting?
Ah, you know what, I'm not even entertaining this.
Is that why you didn't want me seeing Charles?
Because you're hiding something?
You really wanna go there?
You'll really throw shit at anyone else, won't ya,
to try and escape the truth?
You were two minutes up the road,
getting pissed,
rather than being at home with Maisy that night.
You're a fucking liar. I'll find out the truth, Paul.
Best out of three?
Go on, then.
We could put a bit of a wager on it, make it a bit more interesting.
Nah, nah, nah. That's a mug's game.
Come on, man. Some of the others do.
That lot invited you to play?
Yeah. Listen.
You get into debt in here,
even for a few bits from the canteen, you're done.
Right? You're done. Leave all that lot well alone.

That's not why he's here.

How you doing, then? Yeah, I'm all right.
You been behaving yourself?
I'm keeping my head down.
Keeping busy with visitors, more like.
Listen...

I know I'm your mum, and I'm meant to be just on your side...
Well, then, try it for a change.
But how you've been accusing Paul
of having anything to do with our Maisy's murder
is just beyond me.
What world are you living in, gal?
I actually think there might be some truth
in what Charles is saying.
You're not choosing to believe him over Paul?
I've always just let you be,
because it was a terrible, terrible thing what happened...
..but Paul lost his girl as well that night.
I think, sometimes, you forget that.
'I'm sorry for showing up like this.'
MEERA: It's fine. Paul'll be back soon.
'I'm... questioning everything.
'Completely paranoid.'
To be honest, Meera, I'm losing my fucking mind.
I knew summat was up with Paul before Maisy died.
He was just acting odd,
shady with his phone, he was late home.
And now I know that he had dealings with the McKellers.
Paul might not even know.
What if they tried to take Maisy that night
to get money out of him? Stella...
This has to be why they were targeting our house.
Stella, stop.
You're so far off.
Paul was with me that night.
We'd already started... a relationship.
I was at the hotel when you called to tell him that Maisy'd died.
We're about to start a family.
I don't want any more lies.

Stella was getting... Well, thinking all sorts.
I had to tell her about us.
I'm so sorry.
You let me believe that I was the only one
that let Maisy down that night.
How could I tell ya? Our daughter had just died.
I was calling you for hours, Paul, and now I find out
that you were shagging your boss?
You were hardly perfect either, Stella. I never pretended to be.
But it all makes sense now, don't it?
How you was able to stay living in this house,
how you moved on so quick.
It still weren't enough, was it? After we were fucking there
only two weeks ago.

I need you to take responsibility

Please. That the only reason you came?
Charles, please.
I know I let you down.
Yeah, you did.
Should have done better by you with your mum.
But I just need to hear you say it.
You've got that in you, haven't you, son?
Admit to me
that you killed Maisy Tomlinson.
You know, you broke my fucking heart.
I love you, Dad.
Bye.
How'd it go? What did your dad say?
What happened? Charles?
Shut your fucking mouth!
Do you hear me? Keep your nose out of my fucking business!
Sorry, mate, I was just...
You're not my fucking mate! Get that into your head!
You're not my fucking mate!
You're a fucking child killer!
You're nothing like me! Nothing like me!
Thanks for meeting. Yeah, it's no trouble.
I wanted to talk to you.
What I said about your daughter, I...
It's OK, honestly.
No, it's not.
I'm sorry, all right?
What that man did to your daughter, I...
You knew Charles, then?
I wouldn't say knew him, but he sold to me, yeah.
Always thought he was a scumbag, but when I heard what he did...
I just...
I dunno how you do it, love.
Get out of bed every morning.
Sometimes, I don't.
Look, we all make mistakes. I'm not here to judge ya.
I'm guessing you didn't call just to apologise.
I've still got this.
Cleo's tablet. I've unlocked it.
I thought it might help you, you know, in looking for her?
