LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
Owen is here to see you, Clarence.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
What is up? Could i interest you in a glass of Shandy.
OWEN JARRETT:
At this time of the day, no, but Jeff's facing a 53, and he needs us to help i count on you.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
God, we haven't had one of them in ages.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
What's a 53.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
It's our code for provocation because when one is threatened or attacked by anyone, we go into action, tell me where to be, and i will.
OWEN JARRETT:
I've had to explain it to Sugden and Helen. They thought it's something strangers in the night do. We need to be alert at the pub at half 7. It could turn ugly very fast.
(Owen exits)
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
You're not going to get hurt, are you?
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
We look after and out for each other, Jeff had his daughter taken from him, so it's my obligation to put it right.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
I fear for you sometimes, Clarence.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
The kids don't know my past, but I'm not an old lady. I can defend anyone when the chips are down. I need to protect my friend.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
Did you forget about your dad and mum coming through.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
I can handle this. Anyway, i thought you were supposed to be helping the Wimbledon search party for the elusive evidence that may or may not surface calling yours truly out of retirement.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
I am going to, he's just went to the Sugdens Café. Do you actually know what happened to Krista.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
No one has told me yet. Is there a dark underbelly you're gonna tell me... something i should know.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
Freedom hasn't been a formality for her. She's been taken from Hereford to Doncaster to Carshalton.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
Apart from freedom of movement, jesus, she has done as many miles as i do in a week and a half, so what did they do.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
The way the stories been told is that during the day, she'd be shackled to the wall neck wrists and legs, and during the night, she'd be handcuffed to the bed in a soundproofed room.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
These people are a wild bunch of paedophiles. I need to train this is of the utmost importance, how could they do something like that.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
Where are you going?
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
I'm going for the boxing bag. It's in the shed.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
Don't...please Clarence.
CLARENCE SCUNTHORPE:
I need to train. Believe me, i know that I'm the weakest of the bunch, and i need to bridge that gap if not for me then for Jeffrey.
LUCY SCUNTHORPE:
Lord, give me strength.
