[FRIENDS CHEERING, CHATTERING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING FADES OUT]

[CHRISTINE] Any day now.

[LISA] Any day now what?

Till someone proposes.

[FRIEND, MUFFLED] Earth to Leese.

- [NORMAL] Earth to Leese.

- Sorry. What was that? [CHUCKLES]

We were just saying you're

the next one down the aisle.

- Oh, no. I don't know about that.

- If you don't want Veggie, I'll have him.

Well, you're basically married

anyway. What's stopping you?

Nothing. It's just not the right time.

Plus, Veggie would probably want to get

down to his ideal tuxedo weight, so

- [CHUCKLES] It's just Lisa being Lisa.

- Ah.

You know what she's like. Has to make

everything so complicated. [CHUCKLES]

Ooh, did I tell you

I saw Penny from uni?

- Mmm.

- [FRIEND 2] Spill.

- [FRIEND 3] Nose job, fillers, one boob.

- [FRIEND 2] Shut up.

- Oi! Lisa Osgood, where are you going?

- Just the loo.

Okay. Well, hurry back,

'cause it's your round next.

Okay.

[FRIENDS CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

[SIGHS]

Hi. Hi. I'm Lisa Vedge.

I am [CLICKS TONGUE] I'm Mrs. Vedge.

[PATRON IN CUBICLE 1 LAUGHS]

- Vedge. Mrs. Vedge.

- [PATRON 1] Get out while you can!

[PATRON 2] Don't listen to her, Lisa

Vedge! We're all rooting for you!

[PATRON 1] If taking his name makes

you sound that unhappy, love

- Oh. I I Yeah.

- I'd get out now.

- [PATRON 2] Hey

- Uh, sorry. Yeah.

[PATRONS CHEERING, SHOUTING]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

- Hello?

- I don't feel good.

Lisa? Where are you

calling from? Where are you?

London. Somewhere.

- Okay, that's a good start.

- Oh, yeah. I'm on a street phone.

A street phone?

Like when the phone is in

its own little greenhouse.

A pay phone? Why are you

calling me from a pay phone?

Exactly.

Not exact Okay, I'll

repeat the question.

Why are you calling me from a pay phone?

I lost my phone.

And the worst part about it is, I

just don't even know where I lost it.

Wait. But you remembered my number?

Yeah, obviously, Danny.

- [INHALES DEEPLY]

- Danny!

- Yes. Talk to me. What's going on?

- Okay.

So, you know it was my

mate Gemma's hen night?

- Sure.

- I might have had just

a little bit drink Drank too much.

- And then

- [GRUNTS, EXHALES SHARPLY]

I might have just

passed out for a little bit.

But when I woke up, they

all must have thought

that I went home, because

they all just left without me.

- Have you called Veggie?

- Yeah.

But Veggie I mean, nothing

wakes him up when he's asleep.

- [CELL PHONE RINGING]

- [SNORING]

Look, focus for me please.

Where exactly are you now?

Okay, I'm being honest,

right? Here's the thing.

I just don't know.

Okay, okay. That's fine. Don't

worry. Let's narrow it down.

- Where was the club?

- Mmm. Yeah.

- It was in Hoxton.

- [DANNY] All right.

- How long have you been walking for?

- Between 20 minutes

and an hour and a half.

Okay. Have a little look around.

Any street signs near you?

Can you just, like, hold a second?

Lisa?

Lisa?

Danny, what was I doing again?

- Okay, look. This is how we're doing this.

- Okay.

I don't care if you have to

steal it from a pensioner.

You're gonna get yourself

a phone, drop me a pin.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- What's a pin?

- [CLICKS TONGUE] It's where you are.

[SIGHS]

- I don't see it.

- Well, okay.

Look, I just wanna help you get home.

So can you please do

this one thing for me?

[LISA] Yes Maybe.

- Great.

- Probably.

That'll do. Okay.

Can you believe that?

- [AL] I've had this shop since 1996.

- [LISA] What?

- He's had this shop since 1996.

- Yes, I heard that bit. Uh, where are you?

I told you, I'm in Al's shop.

- Of course, Al's.

It's like I was supposed

to come to Hackney

so that this moment could happen.

- Do you know what I mean, Danny?

- Sure.

Okay, so two buses home from there.

- First one being the 253.

- Oh, 253.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- Hello.

- [INHALES SHARPLY] Hi.

- That doesn't look like home.

- No.

- Bit of a mix-up on the old bus front.

- You got on the wrong bus?

No. I got on the right

bus in the wrong direction.

Okay. Well, that's easy to do.

- Where are you now?

- [BLOWS] Where am I again?

Bermondsey.

- Bermondsey?

- Jamaica Road.

Okay. Where in Jamaica Road?

- In a launderette.

- What's the name of the launderette?

- Launderette.

- It's Launderette.

- [DANNY] Is it?

- [LISA] Yeah.

Oh, this is Lena.

She is a lifesaver.

She lent me her phone.

Hi. Hi, Lena. Uh, thanks

for looking after her.

Oh, don't worry, sweetheart.

She brightens up this place.

- All right.

- Thanks, Lena.

- I'm gonna book you a cab.

- [LISA] Oh, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no. You

can't yet. You can't yet.

You see, there's a dryer, and we are

trying to work out what's inside it.

And I think it's a giant man-pillow.

Lena thinks it's a big bunch

of bras. We've put money on it.

- How much?

- 150 quid.

[GASPS] Lisa, no. I think Lena's

trying to take advantage of you.

- What? No. Of course she isn't.

- [DANNY] Yeah.

- You need to leave immediately.

- [LISA] No, I can't leave.

What if I'm right?

I am starving though. Maybe

there's a kebab house nearby.

How can you be starving?

You've done nothing but fill your

mouth full of cookies all night.

[LISA] I know, right?

Pippa brought them to the hen party.

And I don't know, I must've

just stashed them in my bag

before I passed out.

Pippa brought cookies to the hen party?

- Yeah.

- Don't panic. They're cannabis cookies.

[CHUCKLING] No, they're not.

Lisa. Who brings a tin of

biscuits to a hen night?

Pippa just really likes to bake. I

just don't think you really know her.

[CHUCKLES, SIGHS]

Oh, my God.

Danny, do you think they're Do

you think the biscuits got me stoned?

Yes. What are you doing?

Stop eating the biscuits.

Well, I'm sorry. They're

just very moreish.

- How many do you think you've had?

- Five or six?

- [DANNY] Five or six?

- Maybe seven.

- Okay, so eight then.

- [LISA] I think it's probably about ten.

[DRYER BEEPS]

[GASPS] Lena. Lena, it's stopping.

[BREATHING HEAVILY] What is it?

[LENA] I think it's a

puppet. It's got a beak.

[DANNY] Who washes a puppet

at two o' clock in the morning?

Oh, my God. You're so right.

And what are they doing with it?

At that time? That's just

really creepy, isn't it?

Shall I hang around and

see who it belongs to?

Definitely not. No, you need to

go home. Just wait there until I

[DOOR CHIMES]

- Lena Zurawski?

- [POLICE RADIO CHATTERING]

I'm arresting you on suspicion

of possession of a class B drug

with intent to supply.

- It's medicinal.

- You do not have to say anything.

But it may harm your defense if

you do not mention when questioned,

anything you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may

be given in evidence.

[OFFICER 1] Could you stand up, please?

Do you have any sharp objects on you?

[OFFICERS CHATTERING]

Yeah. Sorry, sir.

I'm Danny Uh, sorry, Daniel Gibson.

Um, believe it or not,

there's a perfectly innocent

explanation for all of this.

Yeah. Um,

and the exp explanation

is that I was actually drugged

- by my friend's baking. No.

- Nick her.

And it wasn't even my fault

No. [STAMMERS] Please. Danny.

No, that's exactly what it is.

- Honestly. I'm a witness.

- [LISA] Danny, can you help me?

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BREATHING SHAKILY]

- All right, Daniel?

- Yeah. Listen.

Adam, I need you to drive me

to a launderette in Bermondsey.

I love a road trip, but

my car's in the chop shop.

Clipped a rickshaw and a person.

are you going outside?

- Yeah.

- Mate, that is brilliant.

- [GASPS]

- I I No. Actually, I have to.

- Lisa needs my help. So

- Right. Okay.

- Well, I am gonna order you a cab.

- No, no.

If I wanted a cab,

I'd order myself a cab.

- What's the problem with a cab?

- I'll be in a car with a man I don't know.

What if he talks to me?

Right. Okay. Sorry, dude, but

what other option do you have?

You can borrow my bicycle if you like?

Th-Thank you, uh, David, but I don't think

that's gonna get me there quick enough.

[STAMMERS] You could

take the basket off.

Right. Why does that make it faster?

I don't know. I've never

taken the basket off before.

- I'm gonna go back in

- [ADAM] No. Come on, mate. Right.

Breathe. [INHALES DEEPLY]
