Como estas, bambino?

Hey!

Oh...

So, he said he was home with Kate?

No hard for him to sneak out.

And if he did, where would he go?

Taylor Gardens?

Or the other place.

I don't know where.

Best case?

Carl leads us to the "other place" himself

and we'll find something resembling evidence.

When will you arrest him?

Well, we're building a case.

For now, that means everything carries on as normal.

Including you.

Do you think you can do that?

Marmite or marmalade?

You should not sneak up on people like that!

I, erm, I made you a coffee.

Ah, nice. Nice.

- Thank you. - It's OK.

Stay! Stay... You can keep tabs through the window.

Just give yourself a minute.

OK.

Right, come on then, love! You're gonna be late.

Chloe's mam's picking you up.

Oh, is that Greg?

We're hearing a lot about, uh...

...time has passed.

The chances of finding Gemma alive...

But she's alive.

Tomorrow's her 30th birthday.

We were supposed to go to my restaurant to have dinner.

Now...

Poor Mr Sullivan.

I wanna say this...

Hey... Pancakes for lunch.

Ooh, pancakes. My mum used to make me pancakes.

Is she dead?

Your mum.

Yeah. She died when I was a little bit younger than you.

Were you sad?

Yeah. I eventually realised that if you miss someone,

the best way to keep 'em with you

is to live in a way that would make them proud.

- Does that make sense? - Yes.

Right, come on, then. Chloe will be waiting.

Here you go...

Ah, I love crocodiles!

It's an origami fox.

I made it just for you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Right, come on, then. Don't forget your coat.

Love you. Bye.

Is that what you really think?

That... That Gemma's dead?

I'm sorry.

Oh, for God's sake.

Yeah, you forgot your lunch.

Zoe Sterling? Orla Bowers.

From Child Social Services? I've left several messages.

- Er, come in. - Thank you.

- Er, take a seat. - Oh...

Caitlin's at school. Sorry, what's this about?

We've received an anonymous referral from a concerned individual.

There was evidence submitted

depicting a situation where you were intoxicated.

What evidence? What did I do?

I'm sorry, I can't disclose that at this time.

This is the first of a few conversations we'll have.

We all want what's best for Caitlin.

We've already spoken to St Isaacs and...

Her school?

What, you can do that?

Apparently, Caitlin's often late. And on more than one occasion,

you appeared to have been drinking prior to picking her up.

Oh, come on. We all have a drink.

There was support, too.

A Ms Gemma Hillman was very positive about you and your care for Caitlin.

Like I said, our priority here is to safeguard your daughter.

I would never hurt Caitlin.

We're not saying you would.

But you'll appreciate we do need to investigate this.

Did you hear all that?

Yeah.

I don't know what I've done.

We had a wine. Maybe two...

But you'd know, wouldn't you?

If you did something really bad. You'd know, right?

Of course. Of course you would.

But you didn't, right?

I don't know. I've had blackouts.

Hardly ever, but sometimes.

What is it that they think I've done? She said there was evidence?

Hey, hey. Relax. Relax. OK?

She said it "depicted" something, OK?

What does that mean?

I dunno. A photo, maybe. A video.

Who would've done this to me?

Oh, shit. The pancakes.

I gotta go.

Morning.

She forgot her lunch.

Did you get my text about tomorrow?

You're the only one that's not replied.

Er, yeah, I did. It just feels a bit weird, to be honest.

You know, with Gemma still missing.

I know, but that's why it's so important

we go ahead with the birthday dinner.

I mean, to walk away from it is... it's like saying she's gone.

That we've given up.

- But we're her friends, right? - Of course.

So, we don't give up.

Not while there's hope.

It will really help Greg, too.

Er... Yeah. Yeah. OK.

Thanks, Zoe. I knew I could count on you.

Right, I better give Einstein her pancakes.

Oi!

Sorry. I forgot.

It's all right. You'll need it if you're gonna cure the common cold.

I'll take that, love. Someone'll steal it if you bring it in.

Martin to Stella, come in?

Martin to Stella. Carl is on the move! Come in.

Oh, my... Stella?!

You OK?

Were you sleeping with her?

Hey, hey, hey!

Did you kill her?

We know Gemma didn't drive, but she had registration documents,

and in Carl's name?

Yeah. It was the log book that got him interested.

But it was the key that really got his attention,

I just don't know why.

The headmaster did say he saw Gemma in a white BMW.

Let's see what DVLA says.

Meanwhile, CID are looking for the actual motor.

These two know something and they'll both be at the restaurant tomorrow.

Sir, I think I wanna run surveillance on the birthday dinner.

A mobile operation?

Do you wanna...?

- I'm just gonna grab a coffee. - Sure.

How are things with Sarah?

Fine, boss.

When me and Siobhan, um...

Back in the day...

You know how civilians don't get it?

Well, she didn't get it.

She kicked me out.

Even now, I have an unpleasant physical response

to the sight of a travel tavern.

But we made up.

Put a real pep in me step, yeah?

- I thought maybe that you and... - No.

No, sir, Sarah and I are very much the same.

Still separated.

You hear about Pavel?

- Where is he? - He's gone off radar.

CID are on it. They'll root him out.

Martin, if you want it, it's yours.

Mobile surveillance at the birthday party.

Thank you, sir, I appreciate that.

If Carl's got any I's to dot

regarding Gemma, bit of stress might prompt a move.

Nothing like a room full of people

toasting a girl you've just killed to get the pits pumping, eh?

She's just over there.

Yeah. I think.

Blood and pus are going to ooze out of her body,

they're going to start eating the eyeballs, the worms will,

and then they'll start eating the flesh.

Stop it!

You can't be upset about it now, Gemma's dead.

Hey! What's going on?

She's speaking about Gemma, saying that she's rotting in...

What?

- ..worms and things. - That is totally inappropriate.

She shouldn't be saying things like that.

I was just explaining the decomposition rates.

That's enough stories.

By now she'll be bloating, internal fluids leaking from her body.

- Stop it! - Oi, get away from her!

Why am I not surprised?

Right. So it was you then.

You called them.

What are you talking about?

Mum.

Mum, can we go?

Yeah.

Are you OK?

- That's Fiona's car. - What, the red one?

- It's electric. - Wanna take a look? Ooh.

- It's so shiny... - Yeah.

OK, I'm gonna go inside.

Hey. You can't just go around keying people's cars, OK?

Listen, if social services found out...

It was Fiona that called them.

I just...
