You left Kel on her own.

Where have you been?

I've gotta be on my toes for a bit, love.

What did you do?

What did you do?

Gary, what the hell did you--

SHE GASPS

Mm... Cheap.

Who is she?

Maybe I wanna screw a bird who don't expect me to mind her kid.

Your kid.

You keep your trap shut.

What could I say? I don't know anything.

I'll change the locks. - HE SCOFFS

We'll have to smash it with a rock again.

You know what, I think I've got it.

Oh, oh... - What's that?

I dunno. Alright. - KELLY LAUGHS

You see how many you can find.

See if you can find the prettiest, prettiest shell, OK?

OK.

I'll be on the bench, OK? Find the prettiest one you can.

SEABIRDS CRY

Cute kid.

Thanks. Thought you lived in Ashford.

Have car, can travel.

Shouldn't you be selling windows?

You trying to soften me up for a set right now?

HE CHUCKLES

Who are you?

Just a friend.

Someone to chat to.

You're undercover.

Slow down.

Look, I know Gary's done a big job, OK?

He's in trouble. - Bollocks.

Talk to me.

OK? Tell me where he is. I can help you, I can keep you safe.

He's away on business. - Ah, come on...

Sports cars and fur coats, it's not rocket science, Joan.

Oi, talk to me. For her sake.

I'm not a grass.

Joan, come on.

Kelly, it's getting cold, let's go home.

Or should we go and get a hot chocolate?

Yeah.

Gary's not here.

He... he hasn't told me anything, I swear.

You're wasting your time.

Get up.

He owes us money, Joan.

- Where is he? - I don't know.

SHE GRUNTS

Where is he?

If I knew, I'd tell ya.

You need to open up.

I said open it.

Wider.

Now close.

In the morning, your brains blown out, imagine little Kelly's face.

He's got a girlfriend, he stays out.

He'll be back in the morning.

Well, let's hope Gary comes home for breakfast then.

Otherwise... it'll be little Kelly who gets it.

DOOR SHUTS

Kelly?

Kelly, wake up, come on, love.

You need to wake up, alright?

We're going out.

But your nose is bleeding.

It's alright. Get dressed.

Good girl.

Where are we going now?

A safe place.

It's OK.

So, you've just been made homeless

and you want to place your daughter in emergency care?

I don't want to, obviously.

Of course.

And there's nowhere else you can go for a bit?

Your parents?

Get hold of my old file, see what I went through as a kid.

What about a sibling?

I've, uh... I've got a sister in London

but I can't take her there.

Is there something else going on, Joan, that I need to know about?

No.

Is Kelly in danger?

No, no.

Not at all.

I just, uh...

I just need... need a bit of a break.

It's OK.

That's what we're here for, to help people in trouble.

And it's only till I find a new flat, and that won't be long, I promise.

A few weeks.

We're gonna place her in a foster family.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't want her in a home.

I was in a home as a kid and...

and it's definitely just temporary.

I... I won't, I won't lose her, will I?

Promise me I won't lose her. - Of course not.

Now, tell me a bit about Kelly.

She, uh...

She loves beans and nuggets.

She'll notice if you sneak any veg in.

She hates scratchy jumpers.

But she's a good girl.

She won't complain.

Look after her.

Of course we will.

There's your bag.

Come here...

Hey.

My mummy...

gave me this ring

so I'd remember her when we were apart.

And look how pretty it is. It sparkles.

I want you to stay, Mummy.

I know.

I know.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Hi. It's time to go.

Come here.

You'll be alright, you'll be alright.

Will you be alright, Mummy? - Course I will, sweetheart.

Come here.

Where's Kelly?

Where's Kelly?

She's in foster care for a bit. She, uh...

I have to keep her safe, where they can't find her.

Why? What's happened?

Gary's got gangsters after him.

Oh, don't you dare bring him anywhere near here then.

It's fine, I've left him. I've left him. I just...

I've got nowhere else to go.

You can sleep on the settee for a few days

until you find somewhere else. - Oh! Thank you, thank you.

You can borrow my clothes.

Help out in the salon...

but none of your bloody chaos.

I mean it, Joan.

Upstairs.

Don't worry. She's a good kid. She'll be OK.

It's the chemicals.

You need to make a fresh start. For you and Kel.

What?

I'm gonna try.

I know.

New hair-do will help.

Aw, thank you.

Just need a little nudge now and then.

She's got an excuse, we've got kids.

She's knackered.

See you, girls, have a good one. - Night.

Fiver, then, please. - End of the week.

You'll get paid like everyone else.

Alright, just the train fare. The foster mum said I can visit tomorrow.

I need you here tomorrow, we're fully booked.

But Kelly's expecting me now.

I'm really sorry, but you should have checked.

Can't just have a day off whenever you like.

You've had your hair cut.

Do you like it? - I like it.

What's she doing? She's walking in, I and who s that? Oh...

Here you go, nice hot drink. - Thank you.

Have you cut Kelly's hair?

Just a bit, we just thought we'd try a change.

She looks pretty, doesn't she?

Do you like it, Kel?

SHE CHUCKLES

I like how you do it, Mummy.

I... I gave her a ring.

We put it on a chain, didn't we? So you'd always be close to Mummy.

What are you doing here?

Saw your name on the custody sheet.

I had to see Kelly.

What, by nicking a car?

Ruining your chances of getting her back?

Dumb blonde.

What do you want, Joan?

A normal life.

Get Kelly back.

Then tell that to the magistrate.

Right? Tell him you're gonna get a job and a flat

and you're gonna do everything right from now on.

Like he'll believe me. - Well, I'll write something.

OK? I'll back you.

Why would you do that?

Cos I think it's true.

Just... just don't report me to the social, please?

DOOR SLAMS

I know that I've been stupid, reckless

but it won't happen again.

DOOR SLAMS

I mean, I haven't been in trouble with the law

since I was a teenager in care.

And I love my daughter so much, it would be...

disastrous for her if I were to get a custodial sentence.

And I... I fully intend on getting a job

and a place of my own, to support us. I just...

I just need a chance to prove myself.

Er, where have you been?

Sneaking back in like that.

To see Kelly.

I... I stayed at a mates.

I'm really sorry, I should have called.

I'm sorry, Nance.

But look.

How was it?

Brilliant.

Sad.

I can't have you working in the salon, Joan.

You're not reliable enough.

Find a new job.

Something you're interested in. You're more likely to stick at it that way.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

Dreadful, darling. - Oh, quite frightful, like a skeleton.

Anyhow, where are you headed?

I'm heading into Mayfair. - You're heading to Mayfair?

Actually I do need to look for a present for my mother. Shall we go together?

Oh, let's. I was thinking a piece of jewellery.

A diamond ring or something...

I'm looking for a present for my mother...

Mother.

I'm looking for a very special present for my mother.

Can I help you, Madam?

Yes, I'm looking for a special present for my mother, a diamond.

Absolutely.

Do you see any you particularly like?

They're all so beautiful.

How does one choose?

Would you like some advice?

Yes, how kind.

I want to know the details of what I'm buying.

Of course.

Here you can see our diamonds rings which we grade using the four Cs.

The carat, the clarity, the colour and the cut.

Just there you'll notice what we call the scintillation.

That's the sparkle

a stone, diamond in this case, emits when it's moved

and it's most visible in bright light.

I've come about the job in the paper.

O Levels? References?

No, but...

I'm keen.

Well, I don't need a dolly-bird.

I'm not. I know all about diamonds, the four Cs.

The carats, the clarity, colour, cut...

Tell me about the cut.

Well, the grade of the cut is measured against three different types of reflections.

Which are?

Brilliance, fire and scintillation.

Tell me about the scintillation, hm?

Well, that's the sparkle a diamond emits when it's moved.

And that's most visible in bright light.

So that's why you have the contrast of the bright lights on your cases.

Where did you learn that?

In books.

I'm interested.

I'll give you a month's trial.

We do have a very, very special

emerald and diamond necklace in our collection.

Mrs Asher...

how lovely to see you.

I do hope Joan is looking after you?

She's charming.

I'd love to see that special necklace.

Well, Miss Foley can show you our premier collection.

Joan. I think you're ready.

Tsk. SHE SCOFFS

There's the key. - Thank you.

Would you like to try it on?

Oh, I don't want to take all this fur off.

Let me see it on you.

Stunning.

I'll take it. - Excellent.

This way, Mrs Asher.

Joan, you can take it off now.

You can call me Bernard.

Is there any way that I could get an advance on my wages?

Bernard.

We'll have to see how we get on at the stock take, won't we?

Lock ourselves in, shall we?

Can be tricky, that.

Here you are.

I've already opened the safe.

Why don't we start in here with the premier collection?

Diamond fringe necklace.

How you feeling?

Fine, fresh as a daisy.

Just making coffee.

SOFT JAZZ PLAYS

So where d'you get it all from?

Oh, I've just been doing it for years really.

I know people. People who know people.

Auctions. Furniture sales. - D'you ever buy jewellery?

Stolen? - Why would you say that?

You just walked out of your job at a jewellers.

Wild, crazy guess.

Alright, what else did I say last night?

You're unemployed and homeless.

You've just lost your kid, but you're gonna be rich.

Right, thanks for the coffee.

If I did have something to sell... - What?

Some stones, loose.

I'd need to have a look first.

Why should I trust you?

Got any other options?

How'd you get 'em out?

Grabbed 'em from the safe. Necked 'em, walked.

You've got some balls, girl.

It was an impulse, I've never nicked before.

I mean, nothing big.

Why now?

Means to an end.

You enjoyed it though.

Yeah.

So can you sell 'em for me?

Might take a few weeks.

Why?

Well, I've gotta find you the right fence.

Get you the best price-- - Look, I told you, I've got nothing.

Right? I need cash, now.

So...

would you do a bit more work then?

Get yourself back on your feet?

I mean a job for me.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

A proper job, not necking stuff and legging it.

Yeah, I'll do whatever you want.

I wouldn't promise that.

I'm a hard worker, that's what I mean.

Excellent. Hair of the dog?

Can you face it? - Course I can.

I think you and I are gonna get along, Joan.

It's just work.

Yeah.

And it's just one job.

Yeah, I know.
