Don't worry, it's on a USB stick. Bit graphic.
I'm going to tell Rob tonight.
I can't have this hanging over me for the rest of my life.
We have no idea whether she has been coerced into a marriage,
or if she's covering up a sham marriage.
What do you mean, "She's not there"?
- Lucy? - She can't have just disappeared!
They're probably in bed.
Well, they'll just have to get up.
It's your dad. Anything?
Nothing, no sign of her. Where are you?
We're at Mia's house, but no-one's answering.
Did you try the park?
No, Tom and Jamie are checking the park.
I'll have to ring you back.
Yes, what do you want?
It's Kate, Lucy's mum, she's gone missing.
Come in.
I know she's been seeing someone, but he's not from our school.
Does Racerboy mean anything to you?
No, why? Who's he?
Someone who's being messaging her.
Um... Here you go.
Oh, God, what is she doing?!
Who's taking the photos?
Most of them are selfies, but she's tagged Ted McGary in this picture.
Maybe he's Racerboy.
"Can't wait for tonight".
What the hell does she think she's playing at?
Who is this Ted McGary?
I honestly don't know, but I can try and click on his page,
but I'm not friends with him, so...
No, it's just his profile picture, I'm sorry.
Well, that fits. I mean, if he's old enough to ride a motorbike,
that means he's at least 17.
OK, I think we need to move on.
If you hear from her, will you let us know?
Yeah, yeah, sure. Of course we will.
From now on, she's not allowed to put a code in that phone
unless we know it, right?
You shouldn't have told her that you put an app on her phone.
We're all wise after the event, Kate.
Westfield police station.
Hi, it's DS Rob Armstrong.
Can you line up CCTV footage for Springbank Road
and the surrounding area?
From 1900 hours, mate. Cheers.
Oh, that's her.
Where the hell is she going?
She's getting in the car!
Can you rewind? Get the plate number.
Black Volvo. Yankee, Kilo, 02, Whiskey, Romeo, X-ray.
After everything we've told her, she just got in the bloody car.
It's the internet, it's a nightmare.
Have you got an age?
Cheers.
What, what is it?
It's registered to an Edward McGary 11 Alma Road, Bradford.
He's 47.
We have to go there now!
Can you let all units in Bradford know?
Come on, can you just drive a bit faster?!
It's up there.
Is that the same car?
Hello. DS Armstrong, it's my daughter that's missing.
Right, follow me.
- This is Lucy Armstrong's parents. - This is Mr McGary.
- If you've laid a finger on... - Where is she?
I just dropped them off, I haven't done anything wrong.
She's 13! Who's "them"?
Lucy and me son Ted, they've gone to see Little Mix...
They've just picked them up at Leeds Arena.
Thank God! Do you want them to drop her at home or...?
Yeah, yeah, thanks.
How old is your son?
He'll be 16 in a couple of months. Why?
But he rides a motorbike?
A scrambling bike in the woods, he's done that since he was 12.
She must've known we were going to find out,
so she did it for attention.
Yeah, well, she got it all right.
She's going to get a bloody hell of a sight more when I see her.
Never had this trouble with our Liam.
Which is why he's living with us, instead of being at university.
He's staying cos I'm his father and his mother's thrown him out!
Well, we're hardly what you'd call perfect parents, are we?
We need to sit her down and talk to her, and ask her why she did it.
And how are we going to do that? We've got a bloody house full!
Maybe if we didn't have your work colleague sleeping on our sofa...
I knew this would come up. Well, he's looking for somewhere.
Yeah, well, tell him to look a bit faster.
Here you are, love.
So, why didn't you just tell your mum and dad
you wanted to go to the concert, Lucy?
You're going to get so done. They've had the police out and everything.
I don't care. If I were you, I'd go to bed before they get back.
They'll have calmed down in the morning. Pretend to be asleep.
DOOR SLAMS They're back.
Too late. You'll be all right.
Right, madam, you have got some explaining to do.
And the rest of you can clear off.
But it's freezing out there!
- Tough. - You wanted to stay in the tent.
I'll make myself scarce.
Just...
Have you any idea how worried we have been?
All your details are on police records now, for ever.
Why did you do it, Lucy?
Did...? Did you want us to be worried?
Are you going to answer your mother?
I mean, you, you must've planned it all!
I mean, who is this Ted McGary?
I don't care if we have to sit here all night.
He was the only one that liked my video.
Jesus. Right.
So, what kind of video was it?
Show us it.
Now.
If you can't be trusted to use your phone properly,
you are not going to be allowed to have one.
That's it.
My name is Lucy Dickenson and this is the dog I would like
when I leave home.
My parents won't let me have a dog cos they work
and my mum says it's unfair to leave a dog at home by itself.
But as soon as I leave home, I'm going to have loads of animals.
I've already thought of a name for him -
Puddles. I'm going to take him everywhere with me.
And he liked that?
Yeah. His dad won't let him have a dog either...
..cos his mum's allergic to them.
So, how many times have you met him?
Twice. He bought me this ring with his birthday money.
Is that who you were with when you knocked off school?
Do you realise how dangerous that was?
I mean, he could've been anyone!
He could've been telling you he was 15 and he could've been 50.
And wanted to hurt you.
I hardly have any friends online.
Mia has 148.
That's cos she's really pretty, not like me.
No-one likes my posts or photos.
Don't be silly, of course they do.
No, they don't. No-one likes me, except for Ted.

I had no idea she was so under-confident and unhappy.
Do you know she actually said to me, "I feel ugly and lonely"?
Bless her. It's all about having this perfect online life these days.
It's just making matters worse.
Oh, honest to God, it breaks my heart
to think that she feels like that.
All this time I thought she was just being a moody teenager.
Have you decided what to do about the super's job yet?
I haven't had time to think about it.
Whatever I decide,
you, Rick and Anna have got to withdraw your resignations.
No, I meant it. If Judy's going to be Super, I'm not sticking around.
Well, I don't think Judy will get it. I think they'll advertise again.
I thought you really wanted the job.
Yeah, so did I.
So, what's changed?
I've got to give more time to Lucy and my family.
Morning.
Morning.
So, Talia, what have you got for us today then?
So far scheduled, a wedding in the Brotherton suite,
three deaths, six births, a couple of notices of marriage,
a baby naming, plus whatever else comes up during the day.
Who's doing the wedding? Morning.
Me and Jamie. Oh, um, there was a message on the answer machine
for you from a Simon Armitage.
He said it's Jenny's service today and he's asked if you and Rick
can make it to the scattering of the ashes.
I'd like to go if I can, it seems only right.
Well, we'll see if we can find cover and...
Er, sorry, who, who told you to put on the Kristina Kovac
and Amir Mamersia wedding on the board?
It's on the print out.
It's the couple with the immigration investigation.
Yeah, I know, I know,
but it shouldn't have been processed that quickly.
Do you know anything about it, Jamie? No, it's not come from me.
Hiya, it's me.
Everything all right?
Yeah, everything's fine.
She's gone to school.
I've got her phone and laptop, but she seemed reasonably happy.
Well, for her anyway.
Tom's going to wait for her and they're going to get the bus home.
- So, what's up? - You know your ex in immigration...
What? Yeah, don't pretend you don't know who I'm talking about.
Yes, Anne-Marie. Yeah?
Could you ask her to do a quick check off the record?
It's an Amir Mamersia and a Kristina Kovac.
They were a section 39.
Just all the usual stuff.
GROANING Friggin' hell, who's that?
I'll text you all the details, all right?
Sorry, I didn't realise. I wouldn't have opened it if I'd known.
Shit!
