Thirteen

It's not Ivy.

Whatever happens, I'll be here.

I'm getting married.

He's taken another girl.

Why take Phoebe?

Maybe he plans to hole up,

recreate what he had with Ivy.

Everything's changed, except me and you. I love you.

Ivy, wait!

You don't want us to find him, do you?

You walked up to him, your abductor, and you took his hand.

This was ours.

She's lying to us and making a fool of you.

- (GROANING) - Be quiet.

I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to hurt you, Ivy.

I'm not going to hurt you. Just take me to my daughter!

- No! Em, no, wait! - (SCREAMS)

- It's your fault that she's... - (SCREAMS)

I'm sorry...

Ivy?!

You're safe. You're safe.

Speak to me, Ivy.

Are you OK, Ivy?

You're sure you're not hurt?

How about you, Em?

Phoebe's father has been taken to the station.

I'm sure it's a small comfort, but we'll make sure he's charged.

No.

That man deserves to be punished.

He is being punished.

Where are you going, darling?

Bath, that's what's needed.

I'll go heavy on the bubbles, I promise.

I thought he was going to...

Hey, hey, hey...

You were very brave.

I think it's how you like it.

On the hot side of hot.

I'll leave you to it.

I'm sorry.

Just shout down if you need anything.

Christina, please...

I trusted you.

Why was Ivy left alone out there?

It was a...lapse of judgment.

She...

She was upset.

Upset, how? What had you said?

Ivy asked to be taken to Tim Hobson's on the way home.

It doesn't matter what she asked. You shouldn't have left her.

- (PHONE RINGING) It's not so easy to explain.

That's not us done with this, Tim.

Not even close.

- Hello? (ON PHONE) What went on tonight, Tim?

- Is she OK? - Not really. Did something happen?

Ivy...

She, erm...

She had things she wanted to tell me.

What kind of things?

- What's he... What's he saying? - (BEEPS)

What kind of things, Tim?

Personal...things.

I had to tell her, I'm...

...I'm married.

And it took you this long to tell her?

Sorry, I...

Shit!

I should have asked about...

It's not your fault.

- I'm the one who pushed the whole Tim thing. If Ivy had known...

My poor, poor baby.

(MUFFLED) Thinking that there might have been a chance...

I want you removed as our FLO.

I'm sorry I let you down.

We've, erm...

We've a number of brilliant liaison officers.

We can set up a meeting and get you someone you're happy with.

- I don't think we want anyone else. - You lot, what use are you, exactly?

Mrs Moxam, believe me, we understand you feeling frustrated.

A little more than that.

Any more interviews, they take place here.

It all comes through us now.

- With due respect, there's a missing girl... - We understand.

We'll contact you when we next need to speak to Ivy.

- I mean, if we... - If we give them space...

- Sorry, you go. - How gentlemanly of you.

It's a missing girl investigation.

If we're not careful, it will become a murder investigation.

- We need total access to Ivy at all times. - Which we'll have.

A little...delicacy was required, that's all.

It strikes me this is good for one thing.

Oh, yeah?

It reminds us that Ivy's still a victim in all of this.

Tim...

Ivy didn't know who I was.

I've hurt her.

After everything Ivy's been through...

...I've hurt her.

Ivy's our strongest lead to finding Phoebe.

I'm relying on you both.

Be Ivy's point of contact.

Better yet...

be her friend.

I'd... I'd hate to appear less than professional, sir.

A ten-year-old girl has been in the care of a rapist for two days.

Your qualms, Elliott, don't really interest me.

We do whatever it takes to bring Phoebe home.

Promise me you won't do anything like that again.

You could have been hurt.

- I was fine. - You could have not been.

For me.

You're my girl.

Come in.

Couldn't sleep?

Do you want to sleep in here tonight?

You'll be OK on the sofa?

That's me all set, then.

Sorry.

You've nothing to say sorry for.

You're my sister and you come first.

I've found Craig another duvet.

What he had was just too tragic.

He's a good man.

It might help you sleep.

I haven't slept for years.

I remember.

I can't stop thinking about Robert Tarl.

- Do you think we should have talked Ivy round to a charge? - No, I don't.

I mean, I'm angry. I'm furious about what he did. But...

...at the same time, I can't help feeling sorry for him.

A father is meant to protect, you know?

To feel, and that.

And I know how that feels.

Angus...

...don't.

The pull-out will wreck your back eventually.

Get in with me tonight.

Em.

Thanks.

You slept?

I slept.

Well done.

- I just need to grab my work stuff. - No, Ivy, stay put.

- I'll see you at the restaurant later, yeah? - Yeah, sure. Great.

My coffee tastes good this morning.

I was joking. You don't need to get me a coffee every day.

I like getting you a coffee every day.

- You look like you're going somewhere. - We're going somewhere.

Eloise Wye is in the interview room.

We need to know the truth about what happened the day Ivy was abducted.

I told Ivy to meet me outside the corner shop.

- Why not at your house? - Because we were bunking.

Why, then, when you didn't show, did Ivy begin walking to your house?

To find me, no doubt.

Was it your idea to go to the arcade that day and skip school?

So where were you?

I had this friend two years above - Sarah.

I thought she was beyond cool

and she said to come and bunk off with her.

But Sarah said that Ivy couldn't come.

Said she'd cramp our style.

But Ivy was meeting you at 9am at the corner shop

and when you didn't show,

she assumed you'd been held up at home and went to find you.

- Yes? - Yes.

Mark White worked at Sunbridge High.

Did you know him?

That man worked at school?

- Did you know him? - No.

Did Ivy?

What?

Maybe she talked about him or mentioned an older man?

She didn't know him.

He did work there.

I understand, after everything,

you wanting to protect your friend.

But if Ivy was in any way involved with this man....

Involved with...?

You mean, like...?

Care in the community, this is!

Ivy had barely even kissed a boy. And you think...

You're way off the mark.

I think I've got something on the Carol White front.

A neighbour from way back,

who seems to know something about the kidnapper's background.

Great.

We'll get down there. Nice work.
