Adam said he’d be coming in later. Did you get stuff from Annie, Natasha, and Nina? They said you were doing okay. I wish I could change places with you.
What good would that do? It would mean you weren’t the one in here. Why am I in here? I didn’t kill Theo.
I thought he was going to kill me. I was lucky to get out alive. The thing I really don’t understand is Tyrone. He saw me.
He saw Theo. He knows I didn’t do this. Why isn’t he saying that? Why is he lying?
Are you sure? He’s lying. I’m 100% sure about that. Listen, I’m really struggling here.
I didn’t sleep a wink last night because I keep thinking about Summer being locked up because I lied to the police. I’ve got to do something. I have to make it right. Hey, we discussed this yesterday.
I know it’s not easy, but you need to stay strong. Meet me in the Rovers after work. We’ll discuss it then. And don’t do anything stupid.
Feel a bit dizzy. No, no, I’m okay. You forgot your lunch box. Oh, right.
He’s such a mess, isn’t he? Hey, you okay? Yeah, fine. You sure?
Yeah, you? Yeah, mate. No, I think I ran too fast. I’m so out of shape.
Getting old. I’ll be fine in a few minutes. Better get off. Stuff to do.
See you later. I better get off too. Enjoy your lunch. Thanks.
Can I get a kiss? Mwah. So, you’re going to speak to her? I’ve already said I’m going to speak to her.
Today? Yes, today, Ryan. It’s the first thing on my to-do list. Look, if I’d known she was Theo’s ex-wife, I would have said something earlier.
She dropped off the wedding cake hours before. So what was she still doing on the streets so late at night? What? I don’t know.
I’m going to ask her that, aren’t I? Yeah, but not only that, Ryan. What about her kicking off yesterday when she found out Todd’s got Theo’s life insurance? Exactly.
Hey, maybe Christina was right. What if Danielle thought the money was coming to her? Sounds like a pretty big motive. Yes, I do know how to do my job.
Thank you. Sorry. Just can’t believe Summer killed Theo. No.
I need to go to work now. Any more advice? No. Okay.
Have a nice day. You too. Bye. Do you really reckon Danielle killed Theo?
You didn’t see how she was. She’s my number one suspect. It’s funny—lying didn’t switch sides. Oh, what can I say?
I’m a man with an appetite. You going to finish that? Yeah, I am. Got a pretty big appetite myself.
Oh, hi. Join us, sit down. Are you sure I’m not interrupting? No, just bumped into each other.
Quick brunch. Got to go in a minute. Meeting. Always a meeting.
Business makes the world go round. You hungry? Let me get you something. I’m fine.
Maybe a coffee. Anything else? No, I’m fine, sir. Is something going on between you and…?
No. Not really. Not really? What does that mean?
Nothing. But you’re here together having brunch. Okay, for the record, after meeting your dad—well, is it inappropriate? Hang on.
Are you saying you and Idris—? No. No, but we did kiss yesterday. You kissed?
Yeah, it didn’t mean anything though. Well, when I kiss someone, it means something. Okay, but it doesn’t always have to mean something. Your coffee, madam.
Thank you. Now I must love you and leave you. Oh, maybe we could meet up at the bistro later. Yeah, maybe.
Just text me. Okay. Sure you want that? Yeah, I am.
Some girls just won’t share. Oh, this is so bad. Calliou, it was one kiss. Idris has got a bit of a reputation.
More than a reputation. He’s got a bad history with women. Relationships. Well, you don’t have to worry about me.
I can look after myself. I’m on my way in 5 minutes tops. What’s the parking like? Anyone touches my car, I’ll kill them.
Can’t see you. Beautiful flowers. Oh, thank you. Can I interest you in a bouquet for the special lady in your life?
Oh, if only there was a special lady. That’s really sad. I know. But if I was looking for a special lady, how could I do better than a beautiful woman surrounded by flowers?
Very smooth. And if you wanted to buy me flowers, I could offer you a 10% discount. Ooh, beautiful and a business brain. Two of my favorite things.
Wish I could talk more—oops, I’ve got a meeting. Feel free to pop in anytime. Oh, I may just do that. See you.
You’re not on your own. You’ve always got me. Her exact words. And then when she realized I’d overheard, she was so nervy.
I’m telling you, there’s something going on between Tara and Gerry. I think you might just have an overactive imagination. Want to buy me a bun? No, thanks.
They were together for a really long time. By the way she was talking, she’s definitely hiding something. That is so weird. Too right.
No, not that. This. It’s all gone. What?
My troll—Truth Teller. I know they’d gone quiet, but they deleted all their old posts. There’s still a few nasty things up there, but it looks as though the main ringleader has left the building. Oh, that’s good news, isn’t it?
Maybe the police looking into it scared them off. Or maybe they had a pang of conscience and decided to stop being so nasty. I doubt they’ve got that much self-awareness. They’ve probably just got bored and started harassing somebody else.
Either way, it’s a win for you. It is a win. A massive win. I’ve already answered these questions.
You know I delivered your wedding cake. I do, but your car was seen on Coronation Street much later the same night. Ryan been telling tales, has he? Why didn’t you tell us you were on the street the night he was killed?
You know what? It might surprise you to know that I find it very upsetting being on that street. So I went to see a friend from church who lives nearby. I didn’t see Theo.
I didn’t kill Theo. I was on my way home. Can you give us this friend’s name and address? Yeah, I can.
So I take it you don’t think Summer killed him, then? Investigation’s ongoing. Because if it wasn’t her, then I’d be talking to a gay dad. The one about to pocket a very large amount on life insurance.
How’s Summer coping? She’s fragile and angry at the same time. Worst thing is there’s nothing I can do to help. She’s tougher than she looks.
Now, what can I get you, handsome? A pint, please. In fact, make that two pints. No problem.
I just need to get some change from the back. Hey, what do I want with you? Me? Did you see Summer on the night Theo was killed?
Look, I’ve told the police everything I know and they were happy with that. She said she saw you and you saw her and you both saw Theo in the window of the flat. No, sorry. You do realize she’s in jail accused of a crime she didn’t commit.
Why would she lie? Well, I don’t know. She says you’re lying and I— Hey, hey, look, I can see you’re upset about Summer. I get it, but you need to calm down.
If he says he didn’t see her, he didn’t see her. All right? I’ve come to discuss some car business. If you’d excuse us.
Maybe we should take this outside. It’s Tod now, you! Is he dead? How are you?
It doesn’t matter how I am. What matters is what you’re doing to get me out of here. I’m doing everything I can. And yet I’m still here.
Look, I didn’t do it. Why is that so difficult to prove? Listen, Summer, I’ve spent hours looking at all the evidence. And?
I think we’re going to have to consider all options, including the worst case scenario. You mean I get convicted for a crime I didn’t commit? I’m not giving up on you, okay? I promise I’ll never give up on you.
It’s just— Go on. You’re a young person. If you’re convicted of murder, it’s a mandatory life sentence. If you accept a plea bargain for manslaughter, however, you’d be out of here in a few years.
Look, I can’t do this. I know it’s tough, but you have to. Todd’s right. Summer could end up going down for something she didn’t do.
No, that I know she didn’t do. I very much doubt that’s going to— It might. Miscarriages of justice happen all the time, don’t they? Debbie went to prison for something Kyle did.
That was very different. No, you just got to hold your nerve, yeah? If the police knew the truth, then I’m going to be facing some very difficult questions, and all I’ve done is try to protect you. He will tell no one that I’m lying.
I’ve got to go to the police. I’ve got to tell them everything that really happened. All right, so what would that mean exactly? Someone may be off the hook, but you’ll be the one who ends up in prison.
But just be cool. All right? He’s lying. Why would Tyrone lie?
Why would Summer? Well, he was at the wedding all night, and lots of people saw him there. Maybe he popped down for a minute, I don’t know. But I do know Summer is telling the truth and Tyrone’s hiding something.
Guess what happened to me this lunchtime? Whatever it is, I could not be less interested. I got a grilling from Detective Connor Swain, thanks to our lodger Ryan. Okay, good.
Have my kids not suffered enough? First they lose their dad, and now this. I know Summer didn’t do it. So, one question.
Did you kill Theo? Did you? You’re so deluded. And you’re profiting from a crime.
That insurance money belongs to Miles and Millie, and if you had a shred of decency, you would hand it over. I plan to do exactly that. I’ll believe that when I see it. You don’t sign that money over to my kids, and I promise you, I will make your life a living hell.
Hey, come on. Not having you throwing around threats. I told her she was barking up the wrong tree. The one she should be investigating is you.
So, what did she say? It was a police interview. You’re not going to tell us? She said she was visiting a friend from church.
Oh, I don’t believe that. Do you believe that? She gave us a name and address and times, all right? We’re looking into it now.
Are you happy? She was very wound up. Very stressed. She must be having a hard time, what with the marriage breakup and that fella dying on her.
Yeah. All right, look, can we just give it a rest now? I’m getting in for this at work. Yeah, all right.
I’m not. Adam’s on his way. He should be here soon. Okay.
I’d like to know why we’ve all been summoned. Well, I actually have some good news for once. Oh. Come on, spill.
It would seem my troll has left the building. Yeah? Truth Teller packed their bags and moved on. About time, too.
That is good news. Yeah, you must be so relieved. But why would they stop? I mean, they were getting under your skin.
You’d think they’d turn up the heat. I think they had an attack of conscience. I’m not sure any troll has a conscience. I did think maybe the police had tracked them down, but then surely they would have told me.
Well, whatever the reason, I think it’s worth celebrating. Oh, did I hear the word celebrating? Yes, you did. It’s always worth celebrating the death of a troll.
Could we have a bottle of your Crémant d’Alsace, please? So not quite champagne celebrating, then. Just a sparkling water for me, please. No problem.
Anything else? For now, yeah. What? Ugh.
I think I may have spoken too soon. What? What is it? Hey, Betty, get what you want off the menu.
Look, another account. Just as nasty, just as vindictive. What? How has that happened?
Take no notice. She’s all bluster, that one. Did I miss something? No, you didn’t.
Thought you two had done a runner. Sorry. You see what you two planned? Yeah, please.
So, what was the big meeting all about? When did my business become your business? Car stuff. So, did the fresh air refresh your memory?
Look, just leave it, yeah? Seems to me like you’re just happy for an innocent girl’s life to get wrecked. What’s this? Someone was on the night of the murder, but he says he didn’t see her, and I’m not quite sure how that’s possible.
Oh, that is weird. How is that possible? I didn’t see her. What is so weird about that?
Well, what’s weird is that she saw you. Right, well, maybe she saw someone, but maybe it wasn’t me. Or maybe you’re lying about something. He’s definitely lying about something, and he’s not that good at— Come on, Ty.
Tell us what you were up to that night. Well, maybe you should tell us what you were up to that night, eh? I don’t need this. Look.
I think I’ve killed Carl. I hit the jack and the car fell on him. Look, go back to the wedding. I’ll sort it.
Go. Help. I am sorry about that. I covered for you.
It’s okay. I have to get someone out of prison. I just have to. Look, just give it time, yeah?
Right now everyone is all worked up. You can ride this out. Everything will calm down soon. I know you say that, but what if it doesn’t?
However bad it feels now, it’ll be a lot worse if the truth comes out. Well, how could it get any worse? Look, I know you’re just trying to help me out. Let me tell you how it can get worse.
You go to the police, you tell them what you did to Carl, you get charged for attempted murder, you get locked up. Then what happens to your family? Your wife, your kids. You’ll be throwing your life away.
I guess it was too good to be true. Is this the same person or someone else? It must be someone else. Why would Truth Teller become the sequel?
Well, maybe to hide their true identity. What’s up? Just surprised at Leanne getting so cozy with Idris. I told her what he’s like.
She’s a free agent. Well, she doesn’t know Idris. I saw Ali clocking us. Yeah.
What’s all that about? Well, she did mention your reputation with women. Oh, wasn’t aware I had a reputation. Well, she didn’t go into detail, but she did hint you had a number of failed relationships.
Oh, well, yeah, that’s not completely unfair. How about you? Well, I don’t judge people till I get to know them. No, I mean, have you had a number of failed relationships?
There are people around here who say I’ve got a similar reputation. Oh. You know what? We should be proud of our reputations.
Really? Yeah. See, no matter how many times a relationship fails, we keep coming back for more. We never give up on the hope that this one will be the one.
Yeah, I like it. Yeah? Yeah. However, it is more difficult to get to know someone when a disapproving cousin is giving us the evil eye.
Yeah, but maybe we should go somewhere a bit more private for a nightcap, like back to mine. That sounds like an excellent idea to me. Well, come on then. Let’s go.
Oh, Tia, bit of an odd one, but I don’t suppose you’ve seen anyone suspicious in here, have you? No, not really. Reason I say is because there’s this post—it says, “I can’t believe he hasn’t had his kid taken off him yet. ” So I’m thinking it could be someone in here that’s seen us together tonight.
I’d doubt it. I certainly haven’t seen anything that’d suggest that. I can’t believe this is legal. No one should be allowed to conceal their identity online.
That’s the act of a coward. Oh, Dad, don’t get angry. Not with your heart issues. Yeah, Dad, Tracy’s right.
This is my problem. Stupid to think it’d gone away. It will be. Just give it time.
These things don’t last forever. Yeah. Anyway, I should be focusing on getting myself ready to go back to school on Monday. Not going to let them win.
Hiya. Hiya. Right, tea will be about 20 minutes. How’s your day?
Yeah, okay. You sure? You look like you’ve had the worst day ever. Has something happened?
No. No, no, I’m just tired, that’s all. You were all over the place this morning. Are you still fretting about what Summer said?
Look, love, I know you feel bad for her. Maybe she got it wrong, didn’t she? Yeah, that’s all. It’ll be really scary for her right now, but it’s going to be all right, isn’t it?
She’ll be okay. Don’t you think? Yeah, but— Yeah. Fingers crossed she’ll be okay.
Yeah. Come here.
