FIRE CRACKLES

HE COUGHS

Hello?

LIVE WIRE CRACKLES

Come, I've got ya!
I've got ya! Come.

SHE COUGHS

It's all right. I've got you.

Come round here.

You all right, Joelle?

Joelle! Joelle!

Somebody call an ambulance!

No! There's been
a fire at Hair By O.

One of the stylists is in a coma.

Do you know them?

Well, I've met the owner
a couple of times. Odette Dixon.

Not nice?

No, she's a piece of work.

We were on the competition
circuit together, years ago.

It's just, nothing was ever
good enough, you know?

Was always complaining.

Once, I used her
hairspray by accident,

she reported me to the judges
and they tried to chuck me out.

She's just a bit of a
drama queen, you know?

It's all me, me and...

You have a walk-in.

This is Ode.. Odette Dixon.

This is Odette Dixon.
It's really nice to see you.

Ms Dixon, really nice to meet you.
Thanks for stopping by.

Please, take a seat.

Can we get you anything?
Tea? Coffee?

Coffee.

How do you like it? Strong!

Cassius.

Luella Shakespeare.

I remember you.

We were just
talking about the fire.

The police say it's an accident.
And now, the insurers won't pay out

because they say the cause of the
fire has been deemed inconclusive.

But I know it's more than that.

In the last six months,
I've been targeted.

Two of my sandwich boards
have been stolen.

I've had to pay for a huge
delivery that I didn't order.

And then last month,
during the street party,

someone let off a stink bomb in the
salon and I had to close for a week.

Oh, that's terrible.

If it hadn't been for
Cassius and Winston,

I don't know what I would have done.

Winston's our artistic director.

He's the one who pulled
Joelle out of the fire.

He's a total hero
and my best friend.

But I'm telling you,
someone is out to get me.

And I know exactly who it is.

Isobel Harris.

She owns Hair Ado.

I know Isobel.

She doesn't seem like the kind
of person to do that kind of thing.

Then you don't know her very well.

So, why do you think this
Isobel's got it in for you?

We used to run Hair By O together,

but Isobel practically ran it into
the ground and I had to buy her out.

For some reason, she blames me.

But I bet you
she can forge my signature.

And she even poached one
of my technicians, Ruby.

Oh, good technicians, hard to find.

To be honest, I was glad
to see the back of her.

She can barely handle half
a head of highlights

without waving some crystals around.

I know this is all to do
with Isobel.

She's just trying to throw
me off my game.

It's the Grazis this week.

The Grazianos.

Professional hairdressing awards.

Odette won last year.

Her sassy feathered bob was
the talk of the competition.

Yeah, it's a huge deal in
the hairdressing community.

So, well done, you.

Hmm.

So, what would you like us to do?

Find the proof that Isobel
is behind all this

so that the insurers will pay out.

And the girl, was it Joelle?

Presumably you want us to find
some kind of justice for her.

Well, obviously.

I assumed that was implied.

Well, yeah.

Look, I've got some savings to start
the refurb, but I need that pay-out.

Otherwise, I could lose everything.

Your coffee.

Here's the fire
investigation report. Thanks.

Just let me know
if you need anything else.

I'll be looking at swatches
for the refurb in the back.

It's all very exciting!

I'm thinking head-to-toe neo mint.

This place will rise like
a pigeon from the flames!

Pigeon? Yeah.

Actually, could you get
me the paperwork,

you know, the delivery that
Odette said she never ordered?

We usually kept that stuff
in the back,

but everything was destroyed
in the fire. I'm sorry.

Any chance you could get
the suppliers to send us a copy?

What?

You know, the people that...

..that do the...? Never mind.

Well, you know, I'll be in the back.

Oh!
THEY LAUGH

He's a few pennies short of a pound.

You can afford to be
when you look like that.

I bet he brings loads
of new clients in.

Shallow.

It's a cut-throat business, Frank.

You've got to do
what you can to survive.

You can understand why she was
so heartbroken about it all.

You know, winning the Grazis really
would get her back on her feet.

This is where the fire started.

Smoke went through that
vent into the office.

I mean, if this is arson,
anyone could have started it.

Yeah, especially if Joelle left
the place open when she came in.

Isobel's salon's around the corner.

We need to book
Sebastian in for a trim.

Or...

..we could just
send in the expert.

Who? Me! Me, Frank.

This is my world, yeah?

You go and speak to Winston.

OK.

Hello.

Lu Shakespeare, 12:00.

Well, I never.

Lu Shakespeare!

Isobel!

Are you my 12? I am, yes.

Oh, thanks.

I heard you got your own place
and fancied a bit of a do

and thought I might as well pop in.

Oh, I was so sorry to
hear your salon closed. Come here.

So, what are you up to,
are you freelancing now?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing.

I'm freelancing, yeah.

Are you still using
all-natural products?

Aw, you remembered!

Absolutely, wouldn't
use anything else.

Before you go, I'll give you
some samples from our range.

Now, would you like a glass of
prosecco? All organic, of course.

It's a bit early, I think.

Well, I tell you what, I'll have a
little glass waiting for you after

we get you washed. All right?

Just a little one.

Yes.

So, I had to force the
office door open. It was locked?

Nah, nah, the door handle
sticks when you shut it

and you can't open
it from the inside.

It's never normally closed,
to be honest.

It's a nice place... it's a VERY
nice place you've got here.

Oh, you think so? Thanks, man.

I've just had it redecorated,
as it goes.

I think that the way you
present your home

and yourself is an important
reflection of who you are.

Never underestimate the
power of a good upholsterer

and the right haircut.

What... eh? Couldn't agree more.

So, there was definitely no-one
else in the salon that morning?

No, no-one else was in yet.

And the front door,
locked, unlocked? Unlocked.

You lot look like a close bunch.

Yeah, yeah, we're close.

Everyone's mashed up about Joelle.

I mean, we all love her,
you know what I mean?

You don't know of anyone who might
want to hurt Odette, do you?

No way!

Odette's good to her staff,
especially Joelle.

I mean, they're really close.

What about Isobel?

They've hated each other
for years, man.

PHONE RINGS

Oh, I'll be back in a sec.

CAMERA CLICKS

Hello.

Ah, yeah...

Look, I'll call
you back in a bit, yeah?

Sorry about that.

Eh, listen, you don't think
Isobel started the fire, do you?

Isobel? No! No way. She'd
never do something like that.

Not even with the competition
coming up?

She's just not that kind of woman,
you know what I mean? Really?

Look, I've just known her long
enough to know what she's like,

and she's not like that.

Sorry about that. Oh, no, it's fine.

It's nice to see
you doing so well.

Oh, we've been really
busy recently. Yeah?

I saw Odette's place on my way in.

Oh, it's awful, isn't it?

That poor girl, Joelle.

She's friends with one of
my girls, Ruby.

Oh, really?

Did you see anything?
No. I wasn't in.

It's going to take them
months to reopen, you know?

Wonder if any of their
clients will come here?

Oh, I'm sure they'll come over
if they're interested.

Anyway, what about you?

Would you ever go back
into a salon?

I don't think so. It's all that
pressure to find new business

and the competition between salons.

It's, you know,
it's tough out there.

Well, you know what it's like.

Oh, you need topping up.

Oh, no, I shouldn't...

OK.

There you go.

Thanks, good job I'm
not driving, isn't it!

What do you think?

Yeah, yeah, that's great. Thank you.

Good to go.

Ooh, that's gone
straight to my head!

Can I tempt you back into a salon?

Because I am looking for a
senior stylist.

Oh, no, I'm glad to be out of
it all, to be honest.

WHISPERS: I bet Odette was
a nightmare.

Well, you have no idea!

I do actually, cos I entered the
Grazis one year

and I was next to her
in the prepping room. Really?

Yeah, I ran out of hairspray,
borrowed some of hers and she...

Went completely mad?

She just screamed the place down,
tried to get me disqualified.

Oh, that is so Odette.

How did you two end up
going into business together?

Well, we trained together.

We became friends.

And... it was great to start with,
before she started treating me

like a servant
instead of a partner.

She could be a terrible bully.

It got that bad that, well,
I begged her to buy me out.

And then she took me to
the cleaners. No!

Erm, you know that I'm entering
the awards this year, don't you? Oh.

And it's cost me a fortune,

putting all my stylists
on different courses,

but it'll be worth it just to see
the look on Odette's face

when I win.
Because this year is my year.

I mean, don't get me wrong,

it is terrible
what's happened to Joelle.

But her salon burning down, well,

it's just overdue karma.

Could you just e-mail me a
copy of the purchase order today?

Tomorrow?

Thank you so much.

Sometime this week.

DOOR OPENS

Bit big, isn't it?

You know what they say - the bigger
the hair, the closer to God.

Yes, yes...

It's very, um...

..Dolly Parton.

Is it? Is it, really?

Hmm.

Oh, then maybe it's all right.

So, Isobel is determined to
win the awards this year.

And she hates Odette, nearly
as much as Odette hates her.

Did she have an alibi?

All she would say is that she
wasn't around when the fire started.

So that's a no then.

You can't claim for that
on the expenses, you know?

They're free samples.

I couldn't get anything on Ruby,
though, she was with a client.

Sebastian, when was the last time
you had your hair cut?

I go every six weeks and have a
protein treatment every eight.

I'm always camera-ready.

Oh, perhaps you might
consider another trim?

Huh, not for another five years.

We should book him in for an
appointment with Ruby tomorrow.

Fine, but nothing too drastic,
I had new headshots done.

You're going to love
the organic prosecco.

Come on, you. I'm taking
you out for a late lunch.

I can't have you all dolled up
with no place to go! My treat.

Oh, that's nice!

Yeah, they've got two for one at
the Mucky Mallard till five.

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman.

So, what are we doing today?

Colour? Or how about some curls?

Mm, I thought I would
just have a trim.

You booked in with me
and I'm a technician.

Unless you want to see someone else?

No, no, no.

Um, just nothing too radical.

OK.

I'd go for the curls.

They are all the rage at the moment.

You will look amazing.

OK, well, fabulous.

Would you like a glass of prosecco?

Um...

..eh, you know,
what I would really like

is a fresh juice, if you have any.

We have this new
vegetable press range.

They're delicious.
Spinach and beetroot?

Sounds wonderful.

Thank you.

MESSAGE TONE
Oh, Sorry.

Oh, don't worry,

I can spend hours online in a thread

about the finer points
of the sonnet.

I probably post way too much,

but I just find the community
really supportive,

especially with everything
that's going on at the moment.

Oh, hang on!

The vibrations of the crystal

directly affect the
nutrients in the juice.

Oh.

Mm.

You can really taste the difference.

It's very... gritty.

Lovely.

You know, the last place
I got a cut was Hair By O.

It's terrible news about that fire.

I heard one of the
stylists was injured.

Did you see what happened?

No, I was on a
colouring residential.

But I can't believe it was Joelle.

We worked together
at the salon for years.

How is she?

Not great, she's still in a coma.

I go and see her every day
after work.

They say talking really helps.

You must be very close.

We are.

And it's the least I can do for her

after everything she's done for me
over the past few months.

Mm.

Oh, nice sofa!

Those candles are
about 50 quid each.

They're all over the place.

The smell gave me a headache.

Odette must be paying him well.

I'd be surprised if he could afford
all this on a stylist's salary.

Where's he getting the
money from then?

Let's see what he's up to online.

Maybe he's moonlighting.

You'd be amazed how much a
hairdresser can earn on the side.

And Odette would
definitely not like that.

He was pretty defensive
about Isobel.

Erm, why did you leave Hair By O?

I just fancied a change.

Must have been hard saying goodbye?

Not really. No?

Well, to tell you the truth,

my fiance left me for
another woman at the salon.

Couldn't really stay on
after that, could I?

"Oh, what men dare do."

Cassius and I were supposed to be

getting married this
weekend, actually.

That's awful, I'm so sorry.

Me and Joelle were supposed to be
going travelling in a few months,

you know, just to get
away from it all.

She's desperate to get
out of here too.

Oh, erm, and why's that?

Well, she doesn't get on well
with anyone at work.

Winston, the artistic director,
absolutely hates her.

A few days before the fire,

I saw him screaming at
her outside the shop.

Cassius literally had to
tear them apart.

Winston said the staff never
usually close the office door

because it gets jammed.

He had to force it open to
get Joelle out.

Do you think someone
shut it on purpose?

Well, if they did, they must
have known the door stuck.

Which means the salon might
not have been the target.

It changes everything.

We could be looking
at attempted murder.

Who would want to hurt Joelle?

Oh, hello, everything all right?

Fine, thank you.

SHE MOUTHS

Erm, did you try the prosecco? No.

Did you find anything out?

Yes.

You'll never guess which gorgeous

but two-rollers-short-of-a-set
stylist Ruby used to be engaged to.

Cassius?

Yes, that's why she left.

And also, Winston and Joelle
apparently had a huge argument

a few days before the fire.

Really? Didn't Winston tell
you he loved Joelle?

He said they all did.

Why would he lie?

Oh, check this out.

"Friday night dream team.
No bad vibes allowed."

Oh, and no sign of Joelle.

No, but she posted a comment here,
"Thanks for the invite."

And Winston's replied, "When you
deserve one, we'll invite you!"

Ow!

It was liked by Odette,
Cassius and Winston.

Winston liked his own comment!

So, where was Ruby during the fire?

She said she was at a
hair-colouring course.

Couldn't this have just been
a little tiff at work?

Er, no, Frank.

This is public humiliation.

Joelle has got over 700 friends and,

as far as I can see here,

not one of them is anybody
that works with her.

So something's going on.

What's the big deal?

Social media is an
extension of yourself.

If they hate her online, there's no
way they're chummy in real life.

Get with the programme, Frank.

That's what I've got you two for.

I still don't understand why Joelle
is working there

when everyone hates her.

Ruby checked in for her
course online.

There's lots of photos of her
at bars in Newcastle. Aw!

Which means Isobel is literally the
only one without an alibi.

What about Cassius?

Why would he hurt Joelle?

Why would Isobel?

I'm just saying,
we have no proof it's her.

Unless Odette was right
and Isobel's not what she seems.

We must be missing something.

I think we should talk to Winston

and see what this argument
with Joelle was about.

Look, sorry, guys, I haven't got
long, I'm actually on my way out.

Yeah, we don't need long, we just
wanted a quick word about Joelle.

Someone saw you arguing with her
a few days before the fire.

Yeah, so?

Well, you said that everyone
loved her,

but that's not quite true, is it?

Well, sometimes it gets a bit,
you know, stressful at work.

Doesn't mean
we hated each other.

We've seen your social media.

OK, look, you're right,
I did not get on with Joelle.

She found out I was moonlighting

and made me give her my best clients
in the salon

or she'd tell Odette.

Private clients are against
salon policy,

and Odette is zero tolerance.

So she was blackmailing you?

She was making my life miserable,
man!

But that doesn't mean
I wanted to hurt her!

So, who did?

You know what?
You need to talk to Cassius.

Cos I saw him arguing with Joelle
just a few weeks' back.

Oh, another argument.
How convenient.

What about Isobel? You were quick
to jump to her defence yesterday.

OK, look,

no-one knows, right, but, um...

Me and Isobel,
well, we're together, innit?

Please don't tell Odette!

Look, guys, I've really got to go,
but I promise you,

even though I didn't get on with
Joelle, I did not start that fire,

or have anything to do with
the other incidents at the salon.

And neither did Isobel.

You need to speak to Cassius.

He's not as innocent as he looks,
you know.

Thanks.

Mm!

Why are you wearing a hat indoors?

I had to go undercover for our
new client from Hair By O.

Has Odette Dixon hired you to find
her sandwich boards?!

You've met her, then?

I've been on that case
for three months!

She calls me every week asking
if I've found them.

Oh!

I don't suppose
there's anywhere you haven't looked?

Or anywhere you could look again?

Just it would be so helpful,
and I would be REALLY grateful.

Only if you show me
what's under your hat.

A-huh!

HE GROANS

No! No, no! Leave it there!

And mind the floor!

Oh! You just can't get the staff.

HE CHUCKLES

We were, um... looking for Cassius.

Why?

We've got some new information
about the fire.

We think you might not be
the target. It could be Joelle.

What's that got to do with Cassius?

He was seen arguing with her
a few days before.

Oh, don't be ridiculous!
Cassius wouldn't hurt a fly.

Ask Joelle.

Well, she's still in a critical
condition. Didn't you know that?

I haven't had time to visit.

Putting the salon back together
is a full-time job.

If you hadn't lost your place,
you'd know that.

I... decided to sell, actually.

Oh. Did you?

Well, he's seeing suppliers
in London,

so he won't be back until tomorrow.

You need to stop wasting time.

Isobel is behind all of this.
She's had it in for me for years!

And... I saw her giving money
to Joelle a couple of weeks ago.

So focus on her.

Now, if you don't mind,
I've got deliveries to sort out.

This is getting ridiculous.

So, Odette saw Isobel
giving Joelle money.

And Winston saw Cassius and Joelle
rowing a few days before the fire.

Oh, and Winston is also secretly
going out with Isobel.

And Joelle was blackmailing Winston
about his private clients.

I see why you left, it's exhausting!

I know, I know.
We're not all like this, though.

This lot are just giving us
a bad name.

But if Joelle WAS the target for
the fire, who's behind the sabotage?

Because all those other incidents
were definitely aimed at Odette.

We're looking at two suspects.

That purchase order arrived.
Finally.

You haven't got a copy of Odette's
signature, have you?

But of course.

Oh, that's a good copy.
Yeah, but it's not quite right.

Look at the way Odette's written
her phone number.

The fours don't match.

There are two types of fours -
open and closed.

Most people, like Odette,
write an open four.

But these are closed. See?

Right. So we need a sample
of Isobel's handwriting,

see how she does her fours.

Shall I make another appointment?

See if you can find out anything
about her relationship with Joelle.

I've licked that.
SEBASTIAN GAGS

Er... yeah. Those ones...

Hello! Oh, hello again!

We're not open today, I'm afraid.
It's, um... competition day.

I know! Huh! I was just hoping
we could make another appointment.

Oh, yeah. When were you thinking?

Oh, 14th?

14th... Er... 11am?

Yes, perfect!

You couldn't write that down for me,
could you?

Oh, yeah, of course!
I'm bound to forget.

11am, 14th...

There you go, love.
Good luck! Thanks.

Murderer!

What are you talking about?
Joelle's dead, and you killed her!

What?

She died, earlier this morning.

I am so sorry. That's awful.

Odette, if there's anything
I can do...

It's too late,

and you've gone too far!

What you talking about?

You're so jealous of me,
you tried to burn down my salon!

I am not jealous of you,
and I didn't burn down anything!

Well, you would say that,
wouldn't you, murderer?!

Take that back! Make me!
Let's just have a minute outside.

I'm going to report you
to the police!

Get out! Go on, get out!

I practically had to pull
them apart.

Ruby must be devastated.

Yeah. You know,
Joelle was only 28 years old.

Her death could make this
a murder case.

Did you get anything out of Isobel

about why she was giving Joelle
the money?

No, I didn't have time.
I've been looking into Cassius,

and something about him
just doesn't add up.

For starters, there's the age gap.

Oh, don't be so old-fashioned.
MESSAGE ALERT

OK. He's got a juvenile record.

What for? Ah-ha!

Get ready to offer me
a big pay rise.

Viola's found the sandwich boards.

And guess where they were?

Dumped in a skip at the end
of Cyprus Mews.

And who lives there?

On Cyprus Mews?

Cyprus Mews? Are you going to
give us a clue, or what?

It's Isobel. Oh! Oh, no!

Sorry, Lu, it's a match.

Oh!

Do you know where she is?

She'll be at the competition.

MUSIC BLARES

This is fantastic! It's ridiculous!

They'll have a competition
for anything nowadays.

This is a very prestigious event,
Frank.

I used to love being a hairdresser.

It's not all about blow-dries
and gossip.

The right haircut
can change your life.

I mean, it hasn't changed yours yet,
but...

Shall we?

Hi! I still can't believe
that she's a killer.

Why - because she gave you
organic prosecco?

No, because we have
no obvious motive!

Oh! Hello, Lu!

Have you decided to enter
the competition after all?

No. Um... you know how I said
that I was a freelancer now? Um...

Well, this is my business partner.

Oh! Are you a hairdresser?

Oh! No, I'm a private investigator.

Sorry, I-I don't understand.

I'm a private investigator now.
Sorry.

Um... Odette hired us to find out
who's been sabotaging the salon.

Do you want to just have
a little chat outside?

No. You can speak to me here!

Fair enough.

So the thing is, we know that it
was you that sent the delivery

and stole the sandwich boards.

We compared the handwriting
on the purchase order.

And the missing sandwich boards
were found on Cyprus Mews,

which is your street.

You've been targeting Odette's salon
for months, haven't you?

I knew it!

And you killed Joelle! No, I didn't!

And I didn't burn down
the salon either.

OK, the rest was me.

But I have an alibi for the fire.

Then where were you?

I was... having... Botox.

Well, Little Miss Au Natural

holding back the hands of time
with artificial enhancements?

I only have a little bit
now and again!

Why were you giving Joelle money?

She saw me planting a stink bomb,
and...

Well, she threatened to tell Odette.

What a hypocrite!
I can't wait to tell everyone!

Hey, you're one to talk.
You've been getting Botox for years!

I have not!
I'm just blessed with good genes.

Pfft! Yeah. She's only 41!

Cassius, me and Odette
were in the same year at school.

You know this, you came to my 50th.

Work it out! Twit!

It's a good job he's so pretty.

Let's take this outside. Fine!

Well, at least
they can agree on something.

Why are you defending her,
after everything she's done?!

Isobel and I are in a relationship.

You're together?!

Watch out. Are you serious?!

This woman is a liar
and a cheat and a murderer!

There she blows.
I did not murder Joelle!

You said you didn't sabotage
my salon, but you did!

How can I believe anything you say?!

Have you lost your mind?

I think maybe we should all take
a break, maybe five minutes?

Bit of fresh air will do us
all good. What's going on?

After everything
I have done for you...

Look, Odette, I really think
you should calm down!

No-one's talking to you, Ruby.

No-one's EVER talking to you.

What did you just say?

No wonder Cassius left you.

A man like that needs a real woman,

not some silly girl
talking about the stars

and waving crystals around.

Well, that's not very nice!

God, you really are a complete cow!

I couldn't have put it
better myself!

Can we just focus on
the competition, please?

You know what? You're right.

I'm not going to let you
distract me,

because I know that's exactly
what you want.

And YOU need to decide
where your loyalties lie!

I-I'm sorry!

So let me get this straight -

Joelle was blackmailing Odette,
Winston and Isobel?

Busy girl.

I'm sorry. Oh!

So, if none of them
burnt the salon down, who did?

Cassius, can we have a word?

I need to get this done.

We want to talk to you
about your criminal record.

Not here, all right?

Outside. Two minutes, darling.

Just because I made some mistakes
when I was younger

doesn't mean I killed Joelle.

I had nothing to do with it.

But you were seen arguing with her.
INCOMING CALL

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Look...

Hello?

What?! OK, calm down!

Well, we hadn't finished,
but carry on!

What do you think that was about?

HE SIGHS

You are supposed to be
my best friend, Winston.

Doesn't that mean anything to you?

Of course it does!
I'm here, aren't I?

Oh, they're at it again.
And you think that makes me

forget what you did?! You have
broken my heart, Winston. Broken it!

Odette, enough!

Excuse me?!

Look, I didn't know what Isobel
was doing, OK?

And I'm not saying it's right,

but ever since you hooked up
with Cassius, you've changed!

And after everything that's
happened,

all you can do is squabble!

And you're forgetting that Joelle
is the victim in all this!

I mean, sure,
she's not exactly a saint,

but she didn't deserve to die!

It's not my fault
she got caught in the crosshairs!

Wow!

I don't even recognise you any more.

You treat people like garbage.

You don't care about anyone
but yourself!

You know what? I quit.

I can make a living off my private
clients. Private clients?!

Fine! I've been carrying you
for years, anyway.

And you miss this, do you?

What you doing?

I still don't think Isobel did it.

That door didn't jam itself shut.

But, then, if she didn't, who did?

You know who I feel sorry for
in all of this? Me!

Caught in the crosshairs
between all these hairdressers.

Have you seen Cassius? Er... no.

When you were rowing, you said that
Joelle got caught in the crosshairs.

What did you mean by that?

Joelle wasn't meant to be in,
it was supposed to be Cassius.

He always opens up.

And now I can't find him anywhere

and his model needs to be onstage
in five minutes.

Cassius was the target. What?!

But where is he now?

And where's Ruby?

I saw her leaving a while ago.

Yeah, cos she's got more motive
to hurt him than anyone.

I think I know where they might be!
Let me know what you find out.

Are you not coming with us?

Of course not.
I've got a competition to win.

Wow!

LIQUID FLOWS

What are you... what are you doing?!

What about the baby?!
I'm not pregnant, you stupid idiot!

I just said that to get you here.

It's your fault Joelle's dead!

You and Odette!

If you two hadn't been so selfish,
none of this would've happened!

Well, now... now you're going to pay.

Ruby, stop! We know you didn't mean
to kill Joelle!

Don't make things worse
for yourself.

I haven't done anything wrong!

So, if I call the hotel
in Newcastle,

they'll confirm you didn't arrive
until after the fire, is that right?

I thought Cassius would be there!

He's always there in the morning!

And then... and then after Joelle
died, I knew I had to try again!

For her.

This is all his fault!
He deserves this!

And then, when he was moving out,

he came round for some drinks

and then... and then... and then
one thing led to another.

I thought he'd leave Odette
and come back home!

But, then, when I went to work
the next day, she sacked me!

SHE LAUGHS

That salon was my life!

Those people were my family!

I-I always looked up to Odette!

She... she was my mentor,
she was my friend!

But she just took Cassius away
without a thought.

She can't be allowed
to get away with this!

SHE SOBS

I didn't mean to hurt Joelle.

This is the only way
to make things right.

No, wait! If you do this,
there is no going back.

And you're not a murderer,
you know you're not.

I am! I killed my best friend!

But I'm not going to prison
for them!

Stop and think about
what you're about to do.

I have no choice!

Yes, you do! You do, Ruby!

Please!

Joelle wouldn't want this.

Please!

I understand.

I understand that this business,
it... it gets to you, doesn't it?

You know, half of the stylists,
they're like Odette,

and there's all that backstabbing
and gossiping and the competition.

It... it wears you down, doesn't it?

I know.

Look... when I first started out,

something terrible happened to me,
too.

I had this regular client,
Mrs Peaseblossom.

And she... she came in every week
for a set.

And there was this one time
that she came in,

and I put her under the dryer,
like normal,

with a cup of tea
and a magazine and...

I came back to check on her
and... and she was dead.

I mean, I didn't kill her,
she'd had a heart attack, but...

everyone else around me just seemed
to think it was a big joke,

and they... they started to call me
the, um... the Angel of Death.

But it wasn't your fault.
I know. I know.

But... but the name stuck.

And... it got so bad that I just...

I started to dread
going into work every day.

Cos Mrs Peaseblossom, she was such
a sweet little lady, she really was.

And I just don't think they realised
how upset I was.

Or maybe they just didn't care.

They got bored of it eventually, but
I think what I'm trying to say...

What I'm trying to say to you is

that I... I do know, I know
what it's like to feel alone

and like no-one's on your side.

No-one was, except for Joelle.

I know it feels like that,

but... honestly,

this world of Odette and Cassius,
it's...

It isn't everything.
I promise you, it's not.

Please, just give me the matches.

No-one needs to get hurt.

They killed her! I know. Not me!

Yes. It was an accident.

She was my best friend.

I know. I know that.

It's OK. It's OK.

I'm sorry about Mrs Pleasebottom.

Peaseblossom. Peasebottom.

Blossom. Blossom? Blossom.

Pleasebossom?

Pease... Blossom. Exactly!

Thanks.

You all right?

Yeah, yeah.

Did Joelle know about your one-night
stand with Ruby?

Yeah. Ruby must have told her.

So she was blackmailing you
as well?

She made me give her all my tips.

Hang on. So, Joelle
was blackmailing everyone?

I told you, it's a
cut-throat business, Frank.

Cheers.

How long do we have to stay?
Oh, stop it! It's a party!

Oh! Welcome!

Oh, thanks so much for coming!

Look who we found outside.

It's organic.

From your prickly neighbour.
Thank you.

Look, I-I'm sorry.
I know I've been awful.

But if it makes you feel any better,

Cassius has dumped me,

the salon won't be ready for months

and half my clients have gone.

But none of that matters now.
I just...

I just want to make it right.
I can't lose everyone!

And I miss you.

Both of you.

Wow!

An actual apology.

I didn't think you were capable.

I am. I need you both in my life.

I'm... I'm so, so, sorry
for what I've done,

for... how I've treated you.

That's big of you,
to come over and say that.

Well... if you can forgive,
then... so can I.

Let's get you a drink.

THEY CHUCKLE

SHE COUGHS

Mm! It's actually quite nice.

I think it's time.

Oh!

Oh-ho-ho-ho! Wow!

It's really... it's really, um...
On trend!

Can you fix it? Yeah.

'Course she can.
She's the Angel of Hair.

WINSTON TAPS GLASS

Um... I just want to say,

um... it hasn't been an easy
few weeks,

but... now that
we're together again,

we'll support each other,

come what may.

To a fresh start.

A fresh start. A fresh start.

ALL: A fresh start.

Well, they look like
they're going to be all right. Mm.

What about you? You're not thinking
of a career change?

Oh, no!

Good.

Because we don't want to so without
our resident Sherlock Combs, do we?

Sherlock Combs.

Sherlock... Combs.

Oh! Ha-ha-ha!

SEBASTIAN GROANS

I think I'm right
where I need to be. Yes.

I'm going to...

Thank you.
