[bunniefuu]

STELLA: 'She was a mate of
Maisy's from the stables.

'No-one's looking for her.'

Do the police even
know? Do they care?

Grandad wants to see
you. Why? Cos he's dying.

You called him The
Millfields Monster.

ERIC: 'One minute, he'd
be fine, the next minute,

'he'd completely lose it.'

You're nothing like
me! Nothing like me!

REMY: 'After what you said about
Cleo, I had a look into it.'

And? 'A week before
she disappeared,

'she called the police. She
said she had information

'she wanted to share
about Maisy's m*rder.'

Who are you?

I don't suppose you know
where she is, do you?

I'm kinda worried about
her. I didn't know her well.

JAMAL: 'Who's that?' CHARLES:
'That's Karl McKeller.'

I hope for both of our sakes,
Charlie, that you'll stop talking.

You've got a fella
on the go. Who is it?

'It's Kelvin. Owns the stables.'

I've still got this.

I thought it might help
you in looking for her.

CLEO: 'Maisy, what
are you doing?

'If he finds out we've been in
here, we're in so much sh*t.'

CAR ALARM BEEPS

LAUGHTER FROM VIDEO ECHOES

'Maisy, get out of the way.'

LAUGHTER FROM VIDEO

'Cleo, come here, come here.'

'Maisy, what are you doing?'

LAUGHTER FROM VIDEO

CLEO LAUGHS

'What are you doing?'

LAUGHTER ECHOES 'Quick.
Someone's coming.

'Maisy, come on, come on!'

Stella?

What are you doing in here?

Can you stop shining the...?

I wanna talk to you.

About what?
LAUGHTER FROM VIDEO

'If he finds out
we've been in here,

'we're gonna get in so much
sh*t.' 'He won't even notice.

'I can't do it.' 'Maisy,
quick, someone's coming.

Shh! Maisie, come on, come
on!' 'sh*t. Let's go.'

Look, I had no idea what the
girls were getting up to.

You knew summat was
going on, didn't ya?

What?

No.

Course not. Look, I'm
as shocked as you, love.

Are you telling me you do not know
what is going on on your own land?

I hardly spend any time in
here. Look at the state of it.

Look, I'm sorry, love. I'm...

I don't know what to say.

No, cos you're full
of sh*t, aren't you?

DOOR CLOSES

Teddy?

'You all right?' Yeah. Go on.

It's Grandad.

He's gone.

'Dad?'

Yeah. Thanks for calling.

Er, the funeral's
gonna be in a few days.

Erm, if you're
allowed, will you come?

'You can ask for permission.'

Where was he? 'I was
with him, Dad, at home.

'He died in his sleep. It was...

'Yeah, it was peaceful,
like.' Good boy.

TEDDY CRIES

Dad, you should come to the funeral
cos you'll regret it if you don't.

'I'll let you
get on.' No. Dad!

'Dad!' I've gotta go.

Can I just have
a minute, please?

JESSIE: Our Janice got me that.

It's not my cup of tea.

Well, it's kind of lovely.
And what about this one?

How much for the
stallion? Make it a fiver.

It's daylight robbery.

David Dickinson'd twist
his melon for some of this.

You all right, darling?
Yeah. Nice to see ya.

Oh, just got one on the
hook. I'll see ya in a bit.

How you doing?

Yeah, I'm all right.
Where's Kelvin?

He's getting us a drink.

He told me, love.
About the video.

Must've been a proper
shock, seeing that.

Bet your head's scrambled.

Ta, love. Here you
go, love. Hi, Stella.

You all right?

Sorry. I didn't know you'd be
popping by. Do you want one?

Yeah, I'll have
a coffee, thanks.

How long do you say
you'd known him?

I didn't. You never asked.

Since he took over the
stables. About five years back.

Oh, right. He knew
Maisy well, then?

Don't, Stella.

Please, for me.

He didn't know. He's
got nowt to do wi' it.

Mum, it happened on his land.

Well, that don't
make him guilty.

So, you don't know
anything about it?

That stuff that happened was
out of hours. Not on my watch.

Anyway... where did you
and Paul think she were?

Do you know, after everything
that I've been through,

I thought, for once, you might
just back me, your daughter,

instead of some fella.

That's not fair.

Anyway, you're one to talk.
What's that meant to mean?

Don't think I don't know about
these meetings with that monster.

He's got ya pointing your
finger at everyone but him.

What are you now,
Charles Stone's puppet?

You're pathetic. Piss off.

What's gone on?

Someone took it all.

Who? What did you do?

I didn't do nothing.

Look, Jamal...

You humiliated me out there.

Made me look weak,
and they all saw it.

And they're taking the piss now.

Did you ever have any involvement
with, er, the stables in Millfields?

Did you deal there?

No. Why? Have you
heard something?

Listen, us meeting like this,
people are taking notice.

I'm risking a lot just
by talking to you.

You can't keep me in the dark.

Maisy and Cleo were mates. They
went to the stables together.

HE SIGHS

Did you know they
were mates? No.

I'd never met her.

They were doing
drugs together there.

How long were you working
for them? The McKellers.

Most of my life.

Started hanging around with them
when we moved to Millfields.

And their family sort
of took me in, you know.

How did your dad
feel about that?

He wasn't around.

He was a lorry driver.

So he'd spend weeks
away on the road.

And when he was home, he'd
just sit in his chair, asleep,

till it was time to
be driving again.

He seemed so weak to me.

I wanted him to be strong.

I wanted him to be a man.

He passed away last night.

He came here. I saw him.

This whole thing, it
took its toll on him.

He died thinking I was guilty.

You can't blame him.

It was an open-and-shut case.

Your DNA was
everywhere. I saw you...

They were only looking for my
DNA. They already had their man.

Let me ask you this.

When you came to court that day,

did you have any doubt
whatsoever that it was me?

They screwed us both, Stella.

They've robbed me of my life,

and they never found the
person who k*lled Maisy.

Erm, you said it was the McKellers
that sent you, so which one?

I just got a message
with the address

and the make of the car on it.

Honestly.

That's it. It could
have been anyone of 'em.

They all use burner phones.
They do it for protection.

So there's no paper
trail, no trace, nothing.

You think Maisy was
buying off the McKellers?

I never said that.

You didn't need to.

She ever get into any
trouble? Anything like...

No.

I'd have known about it.

You didn't know about Cleo.

DOOR LOCK BUZZES MAN:
Time's up, folks.

Stella...

..I've got a phone in here.

Right.

Means we can talk, outside
of this room. Privately.

Time's running out, all right?

If you find something,
you need to tell me.

Thanks for coming.

JESSIE: Shovelled so much sh*t.
God, you should have seen it.

KELVIN: Do you know what?

Charlie's really
playing up these days.

Oh, he's been odd.
Have you put him vegan?

What? No. What
you feeding him?

Oh! What you doing here?

I asked her to come
over. Sort this out.

Kelvin, you don't have to
do anything. Jessie, please.

Gotta tell you something,
and I wanted you both here.

What's going on?

I can't stand you two
fighting cos of me.

And I don't wanna
lie to you, love.

Then don't.

Yeah.

Yeah, well... we're going
back a few years now.

I caught some lads in the
caravan late one night.

They were just
messing about. Who?

I didn't see. I shouted
at them, they legged it.

I went in after, and I saw
they'd been doing drugs.

Thought they might be selling. I
don't want to hear about drugs.

Jessie, please.

I-I-I really didn't
know what to do.

Go on.

The next day, I get a donation
for the community riding school.

I know what for.

To not say owt.

You know I don't ask a
lot of those kids to pay.

I just wanted to keep
the stables going.

Truth be told,
Stella, I was scared.

Scared to try and
move the lads on.

Who did you get the money from?

I can't risk telling you.

Oh...

Come on, Kelvin, spit it out.

Roman McKeller.

I really don't think it was
a big operation, Stella.

Just some lads looking
to stash their gear.

Selling to young
teenagers at your stables?

How long ago did it stop?

A few years back. Not long
after that night I caught them.

Was that before or after
my daughter was m*rder*d?

Not long after.

I'm so sorry, love.

Stella... Stella!

DOORBELL RINGS

FRONT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Paul?

So, you didn't know that she
was... taking drugs and having sex?

Of course not. She was 14.

I've never heard
anyone call her Misty.

So you're investigating
our own daughter now?

Just come round here,
let yourself in,

just rummage through her stuff.

To be honest, Paul, I
didn't think I'd be welcome.

Where's Meera?

She's gone to stay with
her parents for a few days.

I would've let you in, you
know, if you'd have asked.

Course I would.

I always wanted to go
through her things with you.

What do you mean?

You just left, Stella.

I know.

I'm sorry.

It's OK. I get it.

We both dealt with things
differently. We always did.

I'm not saying mine
was the right way.

Our daughter was out there,

getting up to... God knows what.

How did we miss it?

How did we not see
that she was acting up?

She must have been...

..so unhappy.

I did.

What?

Paul, what you on about?

There was an incident at
school. And they called me in.

What incident?

She got into a fight with
Aashna. It got physical.

They had a fight?

What was it about?

Dunno.

She wouldn't say.

And what, you just let that go?
Why didn't you say anything to me?

I was scared to.

SHE SIGHS

I think she'd found
out about me and Meera.

f*cking hell, Paul,
are you joking?

How? How did she know?

She borrowed my phone once.

I wasn't thinking.

I'm so sorry.

Why wasn't I enough, Paul?

Stella... I wasn't
enough for you.

You'd pulled away from me.

You were never home.

You chose to work when
you didn't have to.

And we both knew we
were growing apart.

No, that's not fair.
That's not true.

I couldn't make you
happy any more, Stel.

Maisy was the only reason
we were still together.

And I think she knew it.

Hi, Aashna.

Hi. You look smart.

I got some work experience
with a friend of my mum's.

It's marketing stuff. Didn't
think I'd stick it out.

Look, thanks for...
meeting with me.

I just wanted to ask you
some things about Maisy.

I've heard that you two had a
falling out before she died.

I just wondered if you'd
seen this girl before.

No.

She was a mate of Maisy's.

I heard they were
doing drugs together.

You and Maisy ever do that?

I won't say anything.

I saw her taking drugs.
Pills at house parties.

Do you know where she got them?

She can't get in
trouble any more, so...

Her boyfriend.

What was his name? She
never said his name.

Was proper secretive about him.

That's why we fell out.

What happened?

She flipped, attacked me.

I didn't think she'd react that way.
I'd never seen her like that before.

Why would she do that?

Because I told people.

That she was going out
with a drug dealer.

DIALLING TONE

CHARLES: 'Yeah. I'm here.'

Erm...

..Roman McKeller.

'What do you know about him?'

Why?

The drugs the girls were
taking at the stables...

He's connected with it.

'He paid the owner
to keep quiet.'

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'm sure.

'Can you hear me?'

Yeah, I'm here.

It's just he runs things.

Big things.

And it's just kids
messing around.

Doesn't seem like the kind of
thing he'd get involved with.

Well, it's the only
connection we have between us

to Maisy and Cleo.

Do you think he
might've been the one

that sent you there that night?

Again, it's just not usual.

That's more of a
middle man thing.

But, yeah, it's possible.

How do I get to him?

You don't.

It's too dangerous.

Just tell me where
to find him, Charles.

MUSIC: 'The Only One I
Know' by The Charlatans

You all right, Stella?

'Ey up, Roman.

Didn't think you knew me.

Everyone does. After what
happened to your lass.

I was hoping we
could have a chat.

Yeah. Let's get a drink, eh?

What's your tipple?

Erm, I'm all right, ta.

Oh. Cracking buffet, though.

There's a new farm shop opened
just off Mansfield Road.

You should try these
sausages. Spicy, mind.

I'm all right. You sure?

Yeah, thanks.

Mmm.

I heard you were
back in Millfields.

Yeah, on and off.

Are you keeping tabs on me?

Just in a neighbourly way.

I also heard you were
visiting Charles Stone.

What you doing that for?

He, erm... reached
out through a scheme.

It just helps people
to deal with the past.

So, you've forgiven him, then?

It doesn't work like
that. How does it work?

Erm, you just get
to know the person

and then... it helps you try and
find out why they did what they did.

Oh, aye. So what
have you found out?

That you knew
each other. Mm-hm.

Apparently, your family was good
to him, and you gave him work.

Yeah, only menial jobs, though.

Not for want of trying - he
was always sniffing round.

Sounds like you're
not very fond of him.

Oh, he's desperate to please.
Willing to do anything, volatile.

How?

He'd take things too far.

That famous temper of
his. He'd lose control.

Like he did that night.

What kind of work did
you have him doing?

What the f*ck are
you up to, duck?

Hmm?

Visiting with him.

Where'd you think all
that's gonna lead ya?

I'm just trying to find
out who Charles Stone is.

He's the man who
k*lled your daughter.

What more do you need to know?

Come on, I'll see you out.

Lee, go inside,
help with your nan.

Go on.

That's my eldest.

Thick as f*ck, always has been.

Still, he's one of us.

PINS CLATTER Nice
one. Go on, Jaden.

REMY LAUGHS

Auntie Stella! Hey.

Hey. You all right?

Hi, Auntie Stella! Aw.

Could've made a bit more
of an effort, couldn't ya?

She ain't even got
any reindeer horns on.

Here y'are, gives 'em here.

Oh! Boys, what'd you reckon?

Ah, she looks like a...
Even More Christmassy!

Like a reindeer.
Ha-ha! Don't she just?

Thank you. Who's winning?

I am! Good lad.

Jaden looks more like
you every day, don't he?

Yeah, he does, lucky bugger.

THEY LAUGH

Checked in with the
missing persons' team.

They've managed to find CCTV
of Cleo's last sighting.

Right. And?

Well, she got into a red
Golf. All of her own accord.

So, it's someone she knows?

Looks that way.

Can't see the driver, and I couldn't
get a good read of the plates.

What did you find out
about Lee McKeller?

Oh, he's, er, couple of cautions
for possession, but got no record.

He definitely knows
her. He was in her room.

He's gotta have something
to do with it. Maybe.

Maisy's mate told me that she was,
erm, going out with a drug dealer.

Stella... Listen,
I was the one

who identified Charles, yeah?

I wanted him put away
for as long as possible.

The police told me they'd
do everything it took,

it was a high-profile case. What
if they ignored other suspects?

Don't tell me that's
not a possibility.

What if I've put
away an innocent man?

Charlie.

All right, Roman?

Surprised to see you here.

You haven't left me much choice.

So is that why you've
put your Karl in here?

He won't be here much longer.

My family has a reputation.

We don't like to be
linked to a child k*ller.

So whatever game you're
playing, you'd better stop.

I'm not the one
playing games, Roman.

Sorry to hear about your dad.

Your Teddy's got
no-one out there now.

No-one looking out for him.

This has got nothing
to do with my boy.

You know that's
not how this works.

Roman, please.

Don't make me do this.

Oh, Charlie.

Oi.

Come here.

Oi, leave him alone. You what?

Put it back.

I'm not asking ya.

I'm f*cking telling
ya, put it back.

You didn't have to do that.

I'm not gonna watch
people bully you, am I?

Listen, Jamal, about before...

I shouldn't have done
it, all right? I'm sorry.

It's just sometimes, my...

You know?

Come here.

I'm sorry.

All right? I'm sorry.

MAN: Stone.

Permission's been granted
for your dad's funeral.

Let's go.

Can I come in?

I'm just heading out.

Are you off out on a shift?

Yeah.

I just wanted to let you know
I've finished things with Kelvin.

If I'd had known... what he
was allowing to carry on,

with me taking our Maisy there,
I'd... I know. Mum, I know.

I didn't have a clue either.

She kept all these
secrets. A boyfriend.

I mean, did you know about that?

I thought we were closer than that.
Turns out she told me nothing.

You kept plenty from me
when you was younger.

It's normal. Everyone
goes through it.

It's part and parcel
of growing up.

Stuff you and Remy was getting
up to, thick as thieves,

I can only imagine.

Yeah, but what she was getting up
to was more than growing up mum.

Me and Paul let her down.

Don't be daft. You
were brilliant parents.

No. I should've ended things
when I knew it weren't right.

Can't have been easy, living
in that house with us.

You were just doing what
you thought were best.

You wanted to give her
what you didn't have.

A bit of stability.

You haven't made many
of my mistakes, love.

No, but I made plenty
of my own, didn't I?

Look, what I said the other day,
that weren't fair, I'm sorry.

It was, though.

I've always had rotten
taste in blokes.

Kelvin made you happy, though.

Yeah.

Thought I got a good
one this time round.

Come here.

My world.

You're doing all right, duckie.

BELL TOLLS

TEDDY: 'My grandad
lived a simple life.

'That doesn't mean that
it weren't a special one.

'He was a decent,
hardworking man...

'..working long hours to
provide for his family.'

These days, that's pretty rare.

And to me, that's a hero.

We didn't see him as
much as we'd liked...

..but these past few years,

I really don't know what
I'd done without him.

I'll miss him every day.

We all will.

Cos he was the very best of us.

A few moments with my son? Please.
OK, we'll give you a few minutes.

Come here.

All right? Come here.

That was beautiful, all right?

It was beautiful. He'd
have loved that, hm?

You'd have done him proud.

I'm proud of ya.

I need you to listen to
me very carefully, right?

You do exactly what I tell
you. Do hear me? Yeah.

You hear me? Yeah.

You gotta leave.

What? You gotta get
out of Millfields.

You and Grace, you gotta go home,
pack up and get out tonight.

It's not safe for you no more.

This is the McKellers, ain't it?

This is what you've
been doing with Stella.

Teddy, it's complicated.
We can't just leave.

We got jobs, friends,
Grace's family.

Dad, I've never left
Nottingham. I know.

But you're gonna have to now.

Just for a bit. Just lay low.

Dad, you promised me.

You promised me that
you'd handle it,

that you'd keep
control. I am doing.

You're not. Not if this
is what it comes to, Dad.

Listen, all I've ever done
is try to protect you.

So do that now.

Stop.

Dad, please, just stop.

Please.

I'm sorry, son, I can't.

I can't.

Dad, what's gonna happen to you?

Teddy... Teddy...

Son? Teddy!

'Ey up, Lee.

You've been following me.

Look, I need to talk to you.

You know I lost my little
girl, everyone does,

but, erm, her
mate's missing now,

and I can't just let it go.

You know Cleo, don't you?

Look, I've lived on this
estate my whole life.

All right? I know
everyone, and they know me.

Yeah, I get that. So what
were you doing in her room?

There you go.

Did you know Maisy? Ask a
sh*t ton of questions, you do.

You gave 'em drugs, didn't ya?

Who the f*ck do
you think you are?

You know, you lot are all same.

You act like we're scum for selling,
but you're the f*ck buying.

If you're giving 'em to
little kids, you are scum.

Misty wasn't a little kid.

CAR ALARM BEEPS

How'd it go, then, Charlie?

Huh?

Yeah, all right. Yeah?

You kept your mouth shut, yeah?

You didn't speak
to anyone, did ya?

I know you wouldn't. Cos you
know you're done if you do.

Huh?

You're f*cking dead, Charlie!

CLICK

Argh!

SHE SIGHS

Charles, it's me.

I think I know who took her.
