Chapter Text
Callum asks, "What's his problem?"
"Bigger fish. Apparently."
Ben flops down onto the sofa and throws up his arms in frustration.
Callum comes over and sits next to him on the sofa. He puts his cuppa down, reaches his arm over Ben's shoulders, and says, "Come 'ere".
Ben leans into Callum as he strokes his arm.
After a pause, Ben says, "Our name used to mean somethin' and now look! Even Sharon is taking us to the cleaners. I mean...if we roll over any more, Callum, we might as well be sleepin' on the floor."
Another pause and then he continues, "somethins got ta be done."
Callum looks down as says, "yeah, well...leave Sharon to Phil."
"This aint about Sharon. Since that job went wrong, no one wants to deal with us. We have got a grass and everyone knows it."
Ben sits up towards the edge of the sofa as he gets energized.
He turns towards Callum and continues, " I'm gonna find out who tipped off the police and I'm gonna find out who planted the bug in the Arches...and I'm going to do it today."
Ben stands up, kisses Callum, and hurries off.
Last scene of the episode:
"It was Ian" Callum tells Ben who made the 999 call.
First Ben looks shocked. Then angry. Then sad. Ben sits on the edge of the chair and says, "I knew he was mad I didn't let him come. But, I...I didn't think he would ever do this."
Callum walked over and hugged Ben tightly, partly because he knew he felt betrayed and partly to hold him still before he ran off to find Ian.
