Traces (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

That's my mum and dad.
They used to meet at Izzy's to have sex.

We had a pump from time
to time for old time's sake.

Drew's a greedy wee bastard
who wouldn't let her

out of his clutches.

Marie went missing at a festival.
Three months later, she was dug up.

Now I'm asking you to drop this.

Marie got into a row with Jimmy
because she was drunk.

This unknown here keeps cropping up.
I keep seeing the same peak.

Sarah Gordon at SiFA flagged up
issues with the building.

We're looking
at MacAfee Construction.

Prosecuting the company
for corporate homicide.



Be very careful about what you say.

You're poking around in something
someone's wanting to hide.

What if my mum was murdered
on that bed?

Skye said she'd ask Izzy about it,

next thing she's pulling
a knife on us.

♪ Baby, you understand me now?

♪ If sometimes you see
that I'm mad

♪ Don'tcha know that no-one alive
can always be an angel?

♪ When everything goes wrong,
you see some bad

♪ Oh, I'm just a soul
whose intentions are good

♪ Oh, Lord, please don't let me be
misunderstood. ♪

When you look
at someone you don't know,

you take in all their features
at once in a general kind of way.

But then there's this other kind of
recognition,



familiar recognition,

where you know a face so well you
can see all of its irregularities.

What you trying to say?

So, you would recognise that person,
even if they were much fatter

or thinner or grow a massive beard,
because you know that face.

Well, I'm not going to grow
a massive beard.

Or get much fatter or thinner

and I don't have any irregularities,
right?

So you can just think about that.

I hope I did the right
thing telling DI McKinven.

You did.

Marie Monroe might have been
murdered on that bed.

Did Emma say whereabouts she saw it?

- In the box room.
- Well, let's get that headboard then.

Right. And let's be primed to reopen
the case if needs be. Right.

Keep it local. You hang onto it.

I'll tell the review
team what you're up to.

Thank you.

Oh, and Neil, the major
investigation team has gone.

- Where?
- Glasgow. Two shootings.

They never said goodbye.

I just found something
in the original files.

When Jimmy first reported
Marie's missing,

he said they had a slight
disagreement at the

Tall Ships Festival, but Julie made
it sound a lot more serious.

We'll ask him about that
when he comes in.

Let's see what Izzy has
to say about that bed.

How do I know you'll be back?

Because I will. I'll explore
Scotland and I will come back.

I have to come back to get my hat.

OK. You may go.

I've just had a call
from the police asking

if we'll analyse the pills
that killed those girls.

As part of the study?

Well, they know there's a supply
of very toxic drugs in Dundee

just now, and we have the means to
test them, so we'll see.

Keep me posted.

Right, what are we looking at?

Emma's unknown crops up in 18 of
the 35 police seized drug samples

we've analysed so far.

And I think the unknown molecule
might be PMMA.

Do you know what PMMA is?

Louise was just telling me,

it's similar to MDMA
but much stronger and more toxic.

Aye, it can kill you.

It can make your body overheat,
it can cause organ failures.

Lethal stuff.

OK, let's make up our own
standard of pure PMMA and see

- if your molecule conforms with that.
- Cool.

So, I heard from Neil there's been
some developments. Are you doing OK?

Yeah. I mean, I was pretty spooked
by how much he set in motion after

- I first spoke to him.
- Sure.

But I rang him last night and I
think it was right to hand it over.

Good. Are you getting all the
emotional support you need?

What, here?

No, sorry, I didn't mean
here so much as from friends?

Yeah. Yeah, I am, definitely.

Good.

Don't be spooked by Neil.
He's a good man.

We'd like your permission to retrieve
the headboard from your box room.

It's not in my box room.

We've reason to believe it is.

I know what's in my box room,
thank you.

Izzy, I can apply for a search
warrant, I will get one.

It might take longer than you
agreeing for us to take it,

but in the end
the result will be the same.

- We will get it.
- I refuse. Why?

Because it's got nothing to
do with anything.

So what's the problem?

That wee lassie, Emma,
who I cared for, who I trusted,

has insinuated herself
back into my daughter and me's life

because she means to make
a murderer out of me.

It's not enough that I'm dying.

I have to be a murderer as well.

Oh, I can't deal with this.

I can't deal with... Oh.

There's
something up with my medication.

The thing is, Izzy, we're looking
at an unsolved murder,

18 years ago.

Physical evidence is very hard
to get.

And here is something
from that time.

You were the last person to see
Marie alive.

She was going home.
She texted me, "I'm going home."

I know. I've seen your phone
records.

She wasn't murdered on that bed.

Then why are you so reluctant for us
to get a hold of it?

We did loads of coke on that bed.

Who's we?

Me, Marie, Drew.

- Is that what you're worried about?
- Aye.

Izzy. There's no way I'm going to do
you 18 years after the fact for a five-two.

- Are you serious?
- Trina. Back me up here.

Possession of drugs? No way.

Is Izzy faking it?

Do you mean how bad
her illness really is?

Aye.

Well, she loves to tell us she's
dying, but she looks all right to me.

Oh, I'll see what I can find out.

Can you see her killing Marie?

We don't know how Marie was killed.

They never established
a cause of death.

But, you know, it's not
so hard to kill someone.

Dismembering and burying a body,
that's hard.

Whoever did it had the wherewithal.

You need privacy and you need
physical and mental strength.

Or you need someone to help you.

True. Then that would mean two people
who've kept a huge secret for 18 years.

18 drug samples containing PMMA.

And all those 18 drugs
samples are MDMA.

Right, so PMMA has been added to
MDMA in the making of these pills.

Why?

To give 'em a better
buzz, so they sell more.

This is my clandestine lab.
Production, the MDMA itself is made.

Filtering, drying, mixing, pressing.

Does this all happen in one place?

They use separate places,

so if they're raided,
they don't lose the whole lot.

Smart.

There are five different
recipes for making MDMA,

so the key to understanding more
is to extract their impurities.

That tells us the recipe, which
tells us the method of production.

Which would help the police find
the people that made them.

It would help them know the kind
of factory they're looking for.

Handy surface for cocaine maybe.

Give us a sneak preview
with the old UV, then.

Well, that's a good start.

Get the guys in the lab to swab
it for everything.

Semen, obviously. Drugs. Blood.
See what they can find.

And ask them very nicely
to be speedy.

- Hello, Emma.
- Hiya.

I was just wondering if you got
a hold of the bed from Izzy's?

Yes.

What tests will you do on it?

You know I can't tell you that.
Bye, Emma.

We should be set to do an GCMS

run of these overnight
to extract their impurities.

Bobby's ready.

Can you trace a pill by the logo?

No, because lots of different
factories use the same logos.

Well, what if there's a flaw
on the thing that prints the logo,

so there's a flaw on the logo?

Can you trace a pill like that?

That's ballistic profiling. Some
people set store by it, I don't.

Why?

I don't think it's
scientific enough.

We need to dive inside the tablets
to see what we're dealing with.

Appearances deceive.

Look at this lot.

They all look different, but
they all contain the same compounds.

They all look like ecstasy tablets,

but they all have PMMA mixed
in as well.

That's why they're so dangerous.

I know you don't want to talk to me,
but we have to meet up. It's urgent.

Don't do any pills. There's some
really bad ones in Dundee just now.

I'll do exactly what I want.

Right?
I don't need any advice from you.

I want us to stay friends.

- The police came and took the bed.
- I know. I'm sorry.

The whole street was out gawping.

I didn't tell them
that you threatened me with a knife.

Are you wanting a thank you now?

I had to tell them about the bed
cos it might be evidence.

My mum's my hero.

I know her inside out.

There's no way she had anything to
do with your mum's murder.

No way. So how can we stay friends
when you think that she did?

I'm trying to get to the facts.

Skye, you and me are innocent
in this, we were children.

- Please can we not fall out?
- Fuck off.

I mean it, we're done.

Thanks for taking me on as a client.

Will the trial be in the same court
me and my dad appeared on petition?

No, culpable homicide is
automatically High Court.

What's the maximum sentence?

Well, it's unlimited,
but I can't imagine

you're looking at more
than five to ten years.

- Jesus.
- If you're prosecuted.

- If I am is it definitely jail?
- Almost certainly.

But that's a long way off.

And I'll be seeing the fiscal
in the morning and I'll remind him

just how young you were
when that building work took place.

- Will I tell you what I did?
- No, no, thank you.

All I need to know is what
the Crown case is against you.

And I'll do everything
I can to get you out of this.

No, no, look.
I don't want to get out of this.

I want to face my responsibilities.

OK.

Michelle was 19.

Bashir was 22.

She was saving to go to uni,
he was training to be a teacher.

Now they're both dead
because of that fire.

Those families are never,
ever going to get over it.

OK.

My dad, I mean,
he set this company up from nothing,

and entrusted it to me.

I don't want to drag him down,
I want to protect his reputation,

so, no, I don't want
to get out of this.

- You may change your mind.
- No, I won't. OK.

I'll do everything I can to sort
this in a way

that sits comfortably with you.

We can take some
of the responsibility

and limit some of the damage.

Can't I just plead guilty now?

The Crown'll most likely refuse

until they know
what your dad is doing.

- Can I contact the families?
- Absolutely not.

And if they contact you,
stonewall them,

because anything you say can be
passed along to the prosecution.

And don't discuss this
with your dad.

All you need to do is try
not to worry.

Because if you're going to be
worrying about it,

you'll be worrying a long time.

Solicitor wouldn't let me
tell her what I did.

She just wants to consider
the evidence.

Right.

We were booked to build
a bathroom next week.

Guy rang this morning,
said he'd found another builder.

Must have read it
in the paper that we were charged.

- Did you see it?
- No.

DI McKinven took the bed from
Izzy's.

That's good.

Listen, I found something out
a couple of days ago

and I didn't tell you in case it
freaked you out,

but it should do the opposite.

Professor Gordon wrote the fire
report on Secrets nightclub.

Your boss?

Yeah. And she doesn't
care what people think.

She only deals in facts,

so I can guarantee that that report
will be balanced and factual.

But from what you've said,
whatever you did or didn't do

when you refurbished that building,
that's just one part of it.

Honestly, you couldn't have a better
person write that report.

- Have you seen it?
- No.

Can't tell you anything about it
except that it'll be fair?

Thanks for coming in at short
notice, Jimmy.

There's something
we'd like you to clarify.

When we spoke to Julie, she said you
and Marie argued at the Tall Ships.

We did.

In the statement you gave, when you
first reported Marie missing,

you didn't state it as strongly.

No.

Why?

I didn't want people thinking
we were brawling in the street.

Right.

If you're wondering was I trying to
protect myself from suspicion...

...I probably was.

But don't worry,
plenty of suspicion came my way.

But why do you think that was?

Because it's always the husband.

Would you tell us about the row?

We'd been building up to it.

I didn't much want to go to
Tall Ships.

I wanted to see the ships,

but I...

...I don't like crowds.

Anyway, we got there and it was

really full-on,
you know, sensory overload.

Marie was in her element.

We hooked up with Izzy.

And after a couple of hours, I said
to Marie, "Come on, we've done this.

"Kids are tired, let's go home."

She said, "They can stay with me.

"They haven't got school tomorrow.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
Lighten up, go home."

I said I wasn't going to leave
the kids with a drunken mother.

- Did the kids hear all this?
- No.

Well, how drunk was Marie?

Was she unsteady on her feet?

No, she was just, you know...

...disinhibited.

Dancing.

Singing.

What are you thinking?

She had a new dress.

Pink.

It was very becoming, the way it
fitted her.

It showed off her shape.

There was some pretty rough-looking
men in that crowd.

Stripped to the waist, swigging from
the bottle, tongues hanging out.

Watching Marie dancing.

Kind of men who think
women are only good for one thing.

Eyes were on her.

That's what goes round in my head...

...whose eyes were on her?

Daniel MacAfee.

My daughter's dead, thanks to you.

Her son is dead, thanks to you.

Have you anything to say
for yourself?

I hope they lock you up
and throw away the key.

Julie told us she heard a rumour
Drew smuggled drugs onto the rigs.

Uh-huh.

I spoke to the oil company,
the party line is that they've

never had a problem with
drugs on the rigs.

The unofficial story is that in the
'80s and '90s, they did.

It was dealt with and there's never
been a problem since.

Apart from a blip in 2002.

A few workers were believed to
be in cahoots with security

in smuggling in coke.
Nothing proven, five men left.

Drew Cubbin was one of them.

He's not worked on the rig since.

- You got the names of the other four?
- Of course.

And one of them caught my eye,

Vincent Keir.

Did an SID check on him.

He was charged with a violent rape,

but when it got to the High Court,
the verdict was not proven.

Was he on the rigs when
Marie went missing?

No, he was at Tall Ships.

Well, let's get him in. And Drew.

Maybe Drew and Vincent were in
on it together.

Once you've scattered your items,
establish a base line

by fixing your long measuring tape
into the ground.

Let's call this Point A.

This should be where zero
is on the tape.

Run the tape through
the middle of the scattered evidence

and fix it at the other end.

The terminal end is Point B.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What's this?
- It's a crime scene.

Right.

It's part of the MOOC.

I'm sorry darling, it's just a bit
much coming home to a crime scene.

Oh, my God, I, I didn't think,
I'm so sorry.

It's quarter to,
I'm going to get changed.

Are you going to get changed?

- Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- We're meeting my dad there.

We picked you up for possession
of drugs on Sunday, the 12th of August 2001

at the Tall Ships Festival.

You were released for report
two hours later.

Why the trip down memory lane?

Can you remember where you went
next, Vincent?

- Oh, aye, straight back to the festival.
- How come?

Best party this town's ever seen.

Ships coming up the Tay,
with sailors pouring off of 'em

and drugs pouring off of 'em,

and lassies pouring on 'em.

Everyone was steaming.

There was fights with the lassies
going off with the sailors,

folk falling in the water.
It was wild.

You'd have loved it.

You worked with
Drew Cubbin on the rigs.

Aye, we were roommates.

You and Drew and three others were
suspected of smuggling drugs offshore.

Now, just so you know,
nothing you say about that can be

used against you cos you've not been
cautioned at common low.

Not much to say, hen.

You pile a load of men in the middle
of the sea with no drink

and no women,
they will find a way to have fun.

Nothing was proven.

Nothing was proven. I really don't
know why we're talking about it.

What did you do after
they let you go from the rig?

I went travelling round Europe.

- Any particular reason?
- No.

You and Vincent Keir were roommates.
Did Vincent know Marie?

No. I mean, he would have met her.

Yeah, because you
and Vince were friends.

We shared a room...

...years ago.

Did you know Vincent was at the
Tall Ships the day Marie went missing?

No. Where's this going?

What sort of a relationship did
you have with Vincent?

- Volatile. Where is this going?
- Why was it volatile?

Because that's the only
type of relationship Vincent can do.

He's all bear hugs
until he loses his temper.

Then things turn nasty.

You know, you'd look OK if you
cracked a smile, wouldn't you?

- Did you see Marie at Tall Ships?
- No.

Now, she was a lassie
who knew how to smile.

Awful what happened to her, God rest
her soul, but, no, I didn't see her.

- Do you know Izzy Alessi?
- Izzy Alessi.

Friend of Drew's, friend of Marie's.

She was at Tall Ships too.

Name maybe rings a bell, but no.

Can you remember where you
were that evening?

No. Did Drew know you were at Tall
Ships? What's going on?

Am I in the frame for killing Marie,
is that what's going on here?

Hey, stop writing in your book, pal.

It's Drew you need to talk to.

You need to ask him why he was
sniffing around Marie years

after she was married to
another guy.

You need to ask him why
he left Dundee as soon as he could,

but not too soon as to look
suspicious.

And if he sent you after me,
it's an act of desperation

and if you two had
a brain between you, you'd see it.

I said stop writing.
Are you listening to me, pal?

- Daniel.
- You all right, Da?

Good to see you.

- Hello, Emma.
- Hello, Phil.

- Drink?
- Aye, let's get a bottle.

So what do you actually do all day?

Well, I do exactly the same
thing over and over

- so it doesn't sound very...
- Try me.

I put samples into a GCMS,

which is a machine used to separate
mixtures of chemicals.

And what does GCMS stand for?

Gas Chromatography
Mass Spectrometry?

Oh.

And how does that work?

Imagine a long pipe
lined with treacle.

OK.

- That's the column inside the GCMS.
- Right.

And imagine a load of balls
being sent down the pipe.

OK?

And the balls are the
molecules of different sizes.

OK.

The balls travel down the sticky
pipe and become separated by size.

And what sticks first -
the big balls or the little balls?

Come on, Emma, we're banking
on you for sanity here.

The little balls stick the longest.

The big balls come out first.

I'm having that on my grave.

It's a pretty incredible machine.

Tell him what you're analysing.

Street drugs. Seized by the police.

Fascinating.

And what's your line
on drugs, do you partake?

You certain have done
and probably still do. Exactly.

This is an interesting
angle for Emma to have,

you know, the science of it.

Sorry, Emma,
don't feel you have to tell me.

No, no, I will.

Well, it's
definitely made me more aware.

Yeah.

Definitely made you more aware.

So, where in England are you from?

I'm actually from Dundee.

Are you?

- Moved away when I was seven.
- Why?

It's OK.

I lost my mum.

- Hell of a thing she went through.
- Still going through.

Coming back to Dundee's thrown
a lot of stuff up,

stuff she's just finding out.

They never convicted anyone.

- What was her mother's name?
- Marie Monroe.

How did you two meet?

I met her at Paradox.

Eyes across the dance floor.

It was nine o'clock in the morning.
She left her bag behind.

What were you doing there
at nine o'clock in the morning?

I went to check the work we'd done.

See if there were issues similar to
the Secrets refurb that

needed sorting out, which I've done.

Dad. I'm so sorry.
I've really let you down.

Hey. We agreed. No work tonight.

So what, you saw this damsel in
distress looking about for her bag?

Nah, she was outside. She come up
and ask me for help her get in.

There's a fish tank in the ladies.

Fuck.

Daniel?

Daniel.

What is it?

Nothing.

What do you want?

Company.

Come here. Come here.

I'm here.

I'm all yours.

I love you.

I love you too.

I dreamt I dug you up.

You keep visiting me.

I am fighting for you, Mum.

I am.

Emma rang me yesterday,

asking if I'd found a
certain piece of evidence.

And we had it in our hands.

She's determined. And impulsive.

Yeah, well,
it could get her into trouble.

That's why we need to look
out for her.

We can be her secret parents.

- Where's her swimming kit?
- She left it on the bus.

- Can you come to parents' night?
- Mm, no.

- Where we going on holiday?
- Rome.

Anyway, sounds like you're making
progress with Marie Monroe.

Well...

...I just want to find out the truth,
same as Emma.

I went to see the fiscal this morning.

Right?

Your father's solicitor saw him
yesterday, he got there first.

Is that a problem?

Well, it can be
a bit of your game of poker.

How do you mean?

You said you wanted
to protect your father.

You didn't want to drag him down.

That's right. Daniel, your dad
doesn't want to plead guilty to anything,

even though he was the company
director at the point of investigation.

He wants his name
left off the indictment.

Well, he must have his reasons
for wanting to do that.

Oh, he does.
He's putting the blame on you.

He's not out to protect you.

- He's trying his luck.
- Hey.

You don't know him and you're
pitting us against each other.

We need to change our strategy.

You were naive and inept,

but you shouldn't be prosecuted
for culp hom.

One thing we can try and do is
keep your name off the indictment.

How?

If you give evidence
against your father.

- No way.
- I know it's hard. It's not hard. It's insane.

You're standing there telling me
my dad's fitting me up.

He's looking out for himself.

No-one else.

Not even you.

She's suggesting you're washing your
hands of the whole Secrets thing

and, well, screwing me over,
basically, and I just want to come and...

- Ask me if I'm screwing you over?
- No. No, I just want to.

Ask me.

- Dad, are you screwing me over?
- Uh, no.

Did you push to get your name
left off the indictment?

Yes. And so, should you?

- What's your solicitor called again?
- Clare.

Clare should be telling you
the same thing.

It's fine having these noble
feelings,

but the Court's a different place.

It's not about justice.

It's about making sure
someone takes the blame.

If you're the guy who says,

"These two deaths are something to
do with me,"

it'll be everything to do with you.

They are something to do with me.

Shuggie Brock is to blame for this,
and he's dead.

That's why they're coming after us.
We're the scapegoats.

- We did nothing wrong.
- Come on, Dad, we...

Did we kill Ian?
Did we start a fire?

Did we lock two people in a room
next to the fire?

No.

No, knew Shuggie Brock
knew he was to blame

and he jumped off a bridge.

That's justice done right there.

That's how you see it?

That's how it is.

OK, well, I can't say I did nothing,
and I want to make amends.

You'll be eaten alive.

Making amends is saying you
were wrong.

We're tied in this together.

If you were wrong, I was wrong.

You feel bad about the families, I
get it, but you've got a family too.

I don't want to go to jail, son.

- I don't want you to go to jail.
- Do you want to go to jail?

No.

Then stop nailing
yourself to the cross.

Come here.

- I love you.
- I love you too, Da. I've got your back.

For the purposes of the Court,
we did nothing wrong, both of us.

- No grey areas, OK?
- OK.

Uh-huh, on Izzy's bedside tables

the lab found traces of
coke, speed and cannabis.

Right.

The semen on the headboard
belongs to five different men.

One of them repeatedly.

But there's a DNA match
for just one of them.

And it's the guy we already knew
slept with Marie in her bed.

- Drew.
- Aye.

Not a trace of blood.

What have you got?

Still trying to dig up
stuff on Vincent and Drew.

I spoke to Izzy's doctor.

She's as ill as she says she is.

It's chronic bronchitis.

You get exacerbations, flare ups,
which damage your lungs.

It's progressive and hers
is progressing fast,

and that's all I've got for now.

No, the biggest pain in the arse

is that they didn't find
Marie's body for three months.

Could have been kept
somewhere before it was dumped?

Her murderer had
a load of time to tidy up.

- Oh, I love this.
- We went old-school.

This shows all the impurities
associated with all five recipes.

And that's all of our 18 samples

and whatever impurities
showed up in them.

And each acetate shows one
distinct impurity family.

So, no good. Same with three others.

This one...

That's your family of impurities.

What's the recipe?

According to the database, it's the
recipe used for the cold production.

- Oh, that's great.
- Why?

Well, I've only ever seen drugs
coming out of Europe made

that way and it changes what the
police are looking for.

Cold production uses freezers,
there's very little smell

so a factory could easily go
undetected.

The police aren't
looking for freezers,

so this is really important
information.

I can't wait to tell them.

This is very exciting, well done.

- Clare.
- Oh, hello.

Oh, that's quite a turn around.

Fine. We'll fight it all the way.

- Fine. I, I thought you might be...
- Ah.

You want to keep your liberty.
That's normal.

- I take it you've spoken to your da?
- Aye.

And I'm really glad I did.

OK. Oh, and she's been spoken to.

Whoa, whoa,
I didn't want her spoken to.

- I just thought I should tell you.
- You did right to tell me, Daniel.

We need to keep things civilised.
She'll not be accosting you again.

I'll be in touch.

I want to ask you something.
You do the MOOC right?

- Yes.
- Is your user name Emma Bunny?

- Yeah.
- Thought that, was you?

You ask really good questions.

Thank you.

I love the MOOC. I had a crime scene
all over the floor last night.

That's great. Nice.

I genuinely didn't expect
to see you.

I was just near the campus
and curious to see where you work.

- Can I give you a life somewhere?
- No, I'm all right, thanks.

Jump in a minute, I'd like a word.

Jump in.

Have you seen your father lately?

No.

I wonder what other secrets he's
been hiding from us about Marie.

You've been cavalier with people.

You're causing a lot of trouble.

And I take my hat off to you.

I do.

The man who killed Marie is
still out there.

I want to know who he is.

And I want him to pay for it...

...as much as you do.

So if I can help in any way with
what you're doing,

you let me know.

Don't give up.

Don't worry, I won't.

Nice hat.

- Thanks.
- Never seen you wear a hat.

Well.

Emma seems fine to me, I, we
had a talk and she was chipper.

Yeah. I just worry I'm not giving
her as much support as she'd like.

Just be her boss,
that's all you have to do.

She's totally over her mother's
murder being in the MOOC,

so you should forget about it too.

Her mother's murder
wasn't in the MOOC.

OK. It almost was.

Janine, you didn't hear any of this,
right?

Any of what?

The rule of the soil site is just to
take ecological samples

to characterise the immediate
and surrounding environment.

Hi.

Hello. You gave me a fright.

I thought no-one was in.

I'm sorry, darling, I didn't see
Daniel's car parked outside,

so I assumed no-one was in.
I'm so sorry.

No, you're fine.

I just came to drop
this off for him.

Primitivo and Bardolino.

He loves his Italian red
and he needs a bit of cheering up.

I didn't know you had a key.

I didn't know you'd moved in.

So, what do you think of the place?

Yeah, it's great.

Good.

I love it.

I'm parched.

I like it cold.

Ice Cold In Alex, do you know that
film?

- No.
- It's an oldie.

Mm. Boy wonder needs to fit a new
washer on this tap.

That's a builder's cliche.

You're building
the Taj Mahal for other people

and your own doors are hanging
off their hinges.

Hmm.

Daniel was telling me how you met.

Very romantic.

- Not really, I mean...
- Not the setting.

You asking him for help and him
finding your bag and...

...him finding your bag
and you asking him out.

- He asked me out.
- Oh. I got that wrong.

No, I did ask him for help
and he did find my bag,

but then he gave me his card.

His business card?

Very suave. And so you looked at his
card and thought,

"That's my man."

No, I chucked it in the bin,
actually.

- I thought you rang him?
- Yeah, I did.

- Later.
- Oh, but how did you have his number?

Oh, because I fished the card out
again.

- Sorry, I'm annoying you.
- No, you're not.

It's just like it's an exam
or something.

Sorry, darling,
I didn't mean to annoy you,

it's just I always like hearing how
people met, you know?

The circumstances
and the coincidences.

I met Daniel's mother at school.

Hmm. Have you met Daniel's mother?

- No.
- I'm sure you will.

We grew apart, unfortunately,

but Daniel has a good relationship
with her.

- You want to ring someone?
- No.

I thought you were reaching for your
phone.

No.

- Well, I should get going.
- OK.

I'm so sorry about your mother.

- That you lost her in that way.
- Thanks.

- Awful.
- Yeah.

I remember it being in the news.

I don't want to talk about it.

There's no need to take that tone.

Well, you're making
me feel uncomfortable.

- I apologise.
- And I'd like you to leave.

Oh, just hang on a minute. I'd like
you to leave! Hang on a second.

- I'd like you to leave!
- Will you calm down and listen?!

I will leave, I want to, and I will.

As soon as we sort this out,
cos you're going over the top here

and I need to explain myself
and set you straight.

No, no, no, get away from me.

Help. Help.

- Emma.
- Help!

Emma, come away from there. Emma.

No.
