Red rose, rose red.
Let me speak now--

- [Roch] Let me speak now with the dead. - [Noah] Hey.
- I'm right here. - [Wren yelps fearfully, gasps]
[Roch] Red rose, rose red.
Let me speak now with the dead.
[ominous suspenseful music playing]
[thunder claps]
It was Roch.
She was there. She was just...
[phone chimes]
[Noah] Just... delete it.
Do you not wanna know what happened to Roch?
Do you wanna bury your head in the sand like Ant?
I'm here, aren't I?
[Wren sighs]
But Ant's right.
This is dangerous.
After Roch,
I won't let anything hurt you.
[Wren sighs]
Do you want me to stay?
[phone pings]
It's Ash.
Wren.
Did you post a selfie with the mirror?
[Wren] I couldn't have done.

- Oh no, don't! - No, trust me, Mum.
Look, I've got you. I've got you. I promise.
[unsettling music playing]
[Rach] Oh, thanks for coming.
I'm just really worried about Wren.
Her outburst at the funeral and...
[woman] I understand.
We know how harmful social media can be for teenagers.
There were messages on Rochelle's phone when it was given to us.
[Rach] No, this is more than that.
Wren said there were something on her phone. Something...
We can take the phone and check.
Take my teenage daughter's phone?
[scoffs] Do you have any riot gear?
If Wren wants to surrender her phone, that's up to her.
If she does hand it over, she'd be lucky to get it back at all.
[Rach sighs] Well, thanks for coming.
Anytime.
If anything... anything comes up, just call us.
Thanks.
- [door closes] - [footsteps fade]
[radio plays quietly in background]
[Rach] Morning, loves.
You want summat to eat?
Maybe coffee? Wren, breakfast?
What about Noah? Can I get you anything?
Uh, I'm good, ta. I best head home.
Haven't seen Mum since the funeral, so... Thanks for letting me stay.
Oh, you're welcome.
I'll see you at Vinny's.
- Bye. - [Rach] See ya.
[door opens, closes]
[Rach] You need to make things right with Vinny.
- Wren, what you said in the church-- - I couldn't say nowt. People think--
It don't matter what the mob thinks. It matters what Vinny thinks.
[slams cup down] What about what I think?
[doorbell rings]
Answer that.
[Rach] Who is it?
No one.
Bin's blown over.

Think you best get ready. Come on.
[Ash] I hope he likes lasagna. Maybe we should have coordinated.
Shoulda made an hotpot.
[Wren] It'll all go. You never throw out lasagna.
I've not been here in ages.
Mm.
Roch wasn't comfortable with people seeing her house.
[footsteps approach]
This kitchen's never had so many people in it.
[refrigerator opens]
[Vinny] Tea? Lads, do you fancy a brew?
- [Antony] Mm-hmm. - [Noah] Yeah.
[bottles clink]
[groans] Sorry.
No milk.
I can, uh, pop out and get you some.
[Vinny] No, you're all right.
It's good of you to offer though.
And come over.
We're dead nice like that.
[softly] Vinny.
I'm...
sorry about what I said at the church.
I think you need to know. Rochelle's phone--
It were an accident.
It's what Wren meant to say at church.
It's what we all think.
[Vinny] It's like she's still here.
Her stuff's flipping everywhere.
[sighs]
- Here, help yourselves. - Oh!
Carr's Pasties! [chuckles]
These are mine, by rights.
How "by rights"?
It's, uh, compensation.
For when I used to, uh, buy her free ones.
[Vinny chuckles] She always was good at hustling.
[knocking on door]
[Vinny clears throat]
Okay. [sighs]
Probably another lasagna. Excuse me, kids.
- [door opens] - [Wren sighs]
Ashley told me about last night.
What are you playing at with the mirror?
It's bad enough everyone thinks you bullied Roch without you copying her.
You need to drop it like Vinny asked you to.
Rochelle was on my phone last night. And this morning.
[Antony sighs]
I'm going for a piss.
I'm going. Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid.

- Will do. - Bye.
- [Ash] Love you. - Later.
[phone pings]
You just tagged me and you in a post, saying we spent the night together.
[Wren] You know I couldn't have.
It's using your camera.
Look, the two Jennas have already shared it.
"Slut, slut, whore."
Everybody hates me.
[Wren sighs deeply]
[Jenna 1] Oi, Davis!
- You slag! - Oh, and Wren.
Look at it!
Dirty slut!
[Jenna 1] You slag!
[group continue taunting, laughing]
- [Jenna 2] That's right, walk away. - [cruel laughter]
Ignore 'em.
No. No, we can't be seen together, okay?
The two Jennas are gonna start shit that I can't deal with, so I'm gonna go.
Wren, I'll say something to the two Jennas.
Don't. It'll just make it worse.
They think I stole her boyfriend and made her kill herself.
Stop listening to them, then.
Wren, you've nowt to be ashamed of. Don't let 'em get to you.
[bell tinkles]
[Antony] She deleted it yet?
Nope. We're researching.
Researching?
Red rose? Thought we'd do summat useful until Wren needs us.
Oi, Ant, get back here.
- [bell tinkles] - You know where I stand on this.
- I do. But this isn't just about Wren. - [door closes]
It's for Rochelle too.
None of us should be alone right now.
Can you just hang around with us?
I'll throw in a free chocolate bar.
[pop music plays in background]
Fine, if I must.
[wrapper crinkles]
Well, do I not get one?
Who do you think I am, Willy Wonka?
- [Antony snickers] - [Ash sighs]
[door opens]
- [door closes] - [sighs] Noah!
Are you okay?
Where were ya?
[Noah] Sorry, I was at Wren's.
Maybe drop me a text next time, love.
[Noah] Sorry.
No, no.
No, it's okay.
There's a lot going on.
Come here.
I can't imagine how you're feeling.
Rochelle, she...
she was one of a kind.
[sobs]
[mum] Oh, sweetheart.
[solemn music playing]
[mum sighs]
[sobbing continues]
[solemn music continues]
[sighs]
[phone rings]
[clears throat]
Well, hello there. To what do I owe this pleasure?
Stop posting that Wren's a slut.
She was Roch's best mate. She had nowt to do with her death.
He's pissed off.
Like he could kick someone's head in.
- Oh. - [both snicker]
Me and Jenna are going to Fudge Factory tomoz.
Why don't you come talk to us about it there?
Take 'em down, and I'll think about it.
[both] Ooh-ooh!
[the Jennas laugh]
[phone keypad beeps]
Have you tried Reddit? Or Google?
Brilliant suggestions. You're a bit of a brainbox, aren't you?
Can't believe I didn't think of that. How about I run the shop, and you do this?
[bell tinkles]
[door closes]
What's that?
It's for me vision board.
Some folk are happy knocking around Bolton forever.
[Taz] Diana?
Uh, Lady Diana Spencer to you.
I don't get it.
What's not to get? It's Britain's greatest tragedy.
Oh, thank you. A young girl brought in to bring new blood to the royal family.
All she did was love Charles and her kids. But the world had other plans.
[Taz] Did that include you and her going to Paris?
Where it all happened.
I wish. Not saved enough yet.
You know if you get a Eurostar ticket enough in advance, it's, uh, cheaper.
Yeah. I'm waiting for a special occasion.
People who say that, they never end up doing it.
[bell tinkles]
[Antony's mum] Hiya, love. Just a paper and a bottle of vodka, please.
Antony, hiya. I thought you'd gone into town.
I... I'm... I just...
Actually, I'll just take this.
[mum sighs, clears throat]
Sorry.
Here. I'll see you later.
- Bye. - [mum] Ta-ra, loves.
[bell tinkles]
[Taz exhales sharply]
Do you know her?
She proper reeked of vodka, like cheap vodka.
Did anyone else smell it?
Yeah.
Think I, uh...
think I've gotta go.
- [door opens] - [bell tinkles]
What?
- [Wren] How are the milkshakes? - [Clare] Lovely.
Really?
Mine smells weird.
Here. Have a sniff.
[milkshake bubbles]
[the twins giggle]
- You know you can tell me anything, right? - Yeah.
Mm.
Can you remember what Roch was doing when looking after you?
- [Clare] Like, where? - What, in her bedroom?
Or in the woods?
In the woods?
[Nora] Yeah, we made a big fire.
Rochelle was acting strange.
How?
She was scared by something.
[Wren] What?
[Clare] It was something we couldn't see, and then...
[Nora] At home, you saw...
What? What did you see?
It... it was something by the back door,
but then Rochelle came back, and we played church.
How do you play church?
[Clare] We wore rosary beads. We could play sometime.
Yeah, uh, maybe another day.
[phone chimes, vibrates]
[eerie music playing]
Rochelle's phone did that.
You should throw it away.
But I can't.
- [Clare] Why not? - I speak to my mates on it.
[Nora] Can you speak to Rochelle?
[phone chimes]
[eerie music intensifies]
[music stops]
Drink up.
[knocking on door]
[kisses]
Hey! It's my little ladies.
- Mwah! I hope you were good for Wren. - They were amazing.
- Come on. - Bye, girls.
- [Clare] Bye. - [Nora] Bye.
Thanks, love.
Um...
Listen, I was... I was wondering
if... if you wanted to take some stuff of Rochelle's
so it's, you know, still used.
No.
No, Vinny. I... I'm sorry. I couldn't.
Go on. Please, Wren.
'Kay.

- ...something that might make money. - [phone vibrates]
[woman on TV] Or not.
Just walking past the shelves of bric-a-brac,
I spotted this...
It's Dalton.
Just looking at the delicate flower pattern on it,
it's really pretty,
and it's just ten pounds.

[app pings]
[TV] We're gonna head back,
and see if either of them think they might be able to get a good price
- Let's head back to the green team. - [message sent whoosh]
- [app pings] - [TV] Charlie, we'll come to you.
You found this lovely little china doll.
It's in pretty good nick, so that's given you...

[eerie music intensifies]
[eerie music fades out]
[footsteps approaching]
[Roch on phone] Wren? Are you there?
[Wren breathes shakily]
[Roch] Wren, why you not fucking talking to me?
Wren, you come all this way and say nowt.
[chuckles] Talk to me, you dickhead.
Wren.
Wren!
- Wren? - [Wren whimpers]
[Roch] Wren.
Wren. Wren.
- Wren. - Oh, Roch.
[Roch] Wren.
- Roch, I'm so sorry. - [Roch] Wren.
- Wren. Wren. Wren. - I'm so sorry.
[church bell tolls]
Sorry I'm late.
I had a job interview.
[Wren sniffles]
You know, I used to come here when I was a kid.
My grandma'd bring me here.
We never sat this far forward though.
Why?
She never felt good enough.
It's really rubbish, Wren.
It's my fault.
No.
[Wren sniffles]
And I would know.
Why'd you do it?
[Rick] It's funny because people think...
that fights are these big things.
They are not.
You can finish 'em in a moment.
I just wish mine had ended differently.
Me too.
I hurt Rochelle.
But you didn't kill her.
[Wren sniffles]
I ignored her.
The whole town thinks it were my fault.
[Rick] Wren,
people love to blame.
In my case, you know, they have a right to.
But with you,
they're just looking for a scapegoat.
Don't let 'em get to you.
And if they do...
think, Wren.
Think...
before you do something you might regret.
What's your gut tell you?
It's not my fault.
[unzips pocket]
[sniffles]
[scoffs]
[chuckles wryly]
Why am I not surprised?
What?
I downloaded this app,
something that I think had something to do with Rochelle's death.
But... it's hidden itself.
Try the screen-grabbing thing next time.
[Wren sniffles]
You believe me?
Yeah, why wouldn't I?
[Wren sniffles]
Hey, Ash. I'm heading to the Fudge Factory to make peace with the two Jennas.
Speak later.
[indistinct background chatter]
[sighs]
[Taz] Mm.
- You lost? - [Ash] I wish.
- Look like you've been for a jog. - Wren needs us.
Um, Dadaji, can you give us a lift?
[in Kashmiri] Is that Ashley? The gobby one from the shop?
[in English] Um... yeah.
She needs me. They all do.
They kind of see me like their leader, so...
What are you on about?
Very well.
Let us go forth and help your friends.

- We got you this. - [Noah] Thanks.
Leave Wren alone.
Straight to business.
Rochelle's funeral was sad.
Oh, really sad, but you looked so handsome.
Bet you wanted to look your best for Rochelle.
[both] Mmm.
- Me and Rochelle weren't-- - How long were you two together?
- We weren't together. - But you kissed.
That wasn't a real kiss.
What happened with Wren last night? Were that real?
I slept on the floor.
Wren ain't a nun.
- She moves fast. - People with no shame do that.
[chuckles] "No shame."
She's being a weirdo. Why does she post about the two of you and Rochelle?
A like's a like. She's sly.
Just like her dad.
- [Jenna 1] Killing must run in the family. - She didn't kill anyone.
Her dad did. Tommy Lostock, me auntie's neighbor.
- Neighbors, man. - Basically family.
Definitely. And if it weren't for Rick, he'd still be here.
- And if it weren't for Wren... - Enough.
...Rochelle would be.
Leave her alone. That's all I'm asking.
Noah?
- What you doing? - Here we go.
Look, I'm here to just say, can we not keep doing this?
We're doing nowt. You're the one being a drama queen.
- Why do you post weird shit? - I get that that's confusing.
Confusing? More like mental.
- Stop it. It's not Wren's fault. - Noah, I can talk for myself.
[snickers]
[Wren] Look, it's not me. It's...
I'll take the posts down. Just, please... I miss her.
[notification alerts overlap]
[Wren on phones] Roch, I'm so sorry. Roch, I'm so sorry. Roch, I'm so sorry.
What the fuck is this, then?
- [message alerts ping] - [video plays over and over]
I'm sorry.
Roch, I'm so sorry.
[Jenna 1] Are you at her grave?
You know what? I... I didn't post that.
Wren, you said you'd message us if owt happened.
She's using Rochelle's death to get likes. This is what I'm on about.
Why are you sharing this? It's sick. She should be locked up.
It's not her fault. It's Red Rose!
- [Ash] I think we should all chill. - [Jenna 1] You need putting in your place.
- Why do you have to be like this? - [boy] It's kicking off.
[Antony] Wren, can we talk outside?
[door opens]
Wren, I'm sorry. I should've been there, and I know--
But look, you're here now.
It's fine.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- Oh Jesus. - Fucking hell.
Don't look back. Just ignore them. Whatever you do, ignore them.
- [Jenna 1] Oi, Davis! - They're idiots.
You bustle in, telling me what's shit yet, then go post that?
You are a sly little bitch who backstabbed her best mate.
- [Ash] Don't! - Ciaran said you did this to Rochelle.
- How d'you like it? - [Wren] Stop it.
- [Noah] Leave her alone. - [Jenna 1] She didn't leave you alone.
- We didn't do anything. I slept-- - With Wren. Yeah, we know.
I feel so fucking sorry for your mum.
I mean, first your dad and now you.
Psycho must just run in the family, eh?

- I'm not your mate. - Just delete it, you lanky glass of milk.

Go!
- Stop. - [boy 2] Dickhead.
[tense music continues]
[Wren exhales sharply]
[exhales sharply]
- She's speaking to me. - That's not Rochelle.
What is it, then?
[Taz] I found something.
Please be relevant.
A girl called Alyssa.
She, uh... she's done similar stuff to Rochelle,
with the same hashtags and all,
but some of the accounts that liked Alyssa's posts
also liked Rochelle's posts.
Her timeline is normal, then she starts posting weird shit like Rochelle.
- Summat changed. - [siren wails]
Why would she kill herself?
I don't think she did.
I'm sorry it's not... good news.
No. Thanks, Taz.
It's important.
I just wanna help.
[Wren sighs]
[phone pings]
Guys, look.
- Oh God, Manchester. -"Come with me if you want to live."
It's a quote from Terminator. A goodie says it.
It's a sign. I don't think this is Red Rose.
I'm really quite confused.
[hesitantly] What should we do, Wren?
[Wren] Tomorrow, we're going to Manchester.
[Roch on phone] Wren, you there?
Oh, I know you're there,
and I thought you should know...
I did it
because of you.
Whatever you are, you are not her.
[Roch chuckles] Of course I am.
Don't you know a Dickhead when you hear one?
Yeah.
And you're not.
[Roch] If you don't think I'm Rochelle, then why are you still talking to me?
'Cause you're gonna tell me what happened to her.
[Roch] I did what I was told, and you will too.
I'll be seeing you very soon
in the garden.
Good night, Wren.
Fucking hell.
