## Episode Transcript and Timings

I can't believe Eve's been on the prom committee this whole time.

0:00:04 0:00:07
Has she been the Dixi killer all along?

0:00:07 0:00:10
I keep playing the song we did with Isla, we're supposed to be besties.

0:00:10 0:00:14

1. If I know I've got me and my lot

0:00:24 0:00:28

1. I say why not

0:00:28 0:00:31

1. Bring this big bad life on?

0:00:31 0:00:33

1. Face whatever

0:00:33 0:00:34

1. As friends forever

0:00:34 0:00:37

1. The hurt has hurt us

0:00:37 0:00:39

1. We hurt together

0:00:39 0:00:41

1. Sometimes they get under your skin

0:00:41 0:00:48

1. You can't laugh it off

0:00:48 0:00:51

1. So you shout it out

0:00:51 0:00:53

1. Weighs too much for one

0:00:53 0:00:55

1. So you share it out

0:00:55 0:00:58
ALL: # No question, my besties and me

0:00:58 0:01:00

1. About as close as we can be

0:01:00 0:01:02

1. We tell each other everything

0:01:02 0:01:04

1. And I mean everything!

0:01:04 0:01:06

0:01:06 0:01:09

0:01:35 0:01:37

1. I can face stuff

0:01:37 0:01:39

1. Fight like I know I should

1. We share that feeling

0:01:42 0:01:44

1. Cos we believe in

0:01:44 0:01:47

1. No-one outside

0:01:47 0:01:48

1. Who could be brought in

0:01:48 0:01:50

0:01:51 0:01:56

1. My besties and me. #

0:02:57 0:02:59
THEY LAUGH

0:03:01 0:03:03
Well, that was then. This is now. My whole world's turned upside down.

0:03:06 0:03:11
Morning, it's Shari.

0:03:13 0:03:15
And as you may have gathered, I'm not getting ready for school right now.

0:03:16 0:03:20
SHE SIGHS

0:03:23 0:03:24
Six missed calls from Eve.

0:03:24 0:03:26
So, thanks to everyone who tried to help me decide about Eve.

0:03:30 0:03:33
Turns out you're not giving up on her yet.

0:03:33 0:03:36
Cos she can't have done it, can she?

0:03:37 0:03:39
She's been with me through all of this.

0:03:39 0:03:41
She's the one person I tell everything, always has been.

0:03:41 0:03:45
But, I keep thinking back to every time we've talked in the last few

0:03:47 0:03:51
weeks, and wondering if all that time she was hiding something from me.

0:03:51 0:03:56
Makes me feel sick.

0:03:58 0:03:59
And sad.

0:04:00 0:04:01
And then it makes me feel like I don't know anyone.

0:04:01 0:04:05
How could she do this?

0:04:05 0:04:06
It just can't be her. It's ridiculous to even say it.

0:04:08 0:04:12
But there is so much evidence against her.

0:04:14 0:04:16
Number one, she's the best techie I know,

0:04:17 0:04:20
so she would know how to hack Dixi.

0:04:20 0:04:22
Number two, she knows what trout pout means.

0:04:22 0:04:26
Number three, she's off the grid.

0:04:26 0:04:27
She barely goes on Dixi, which is the ultimate cover.

0:04:27 0:04:31
And number four, she lied about being away at her dad's

0:04:31 0:04:34
when she was actually working on the prom committee with Murdo.

0:04:34 0:04:38
Maybe she likes Murdo.

0:04:39 0:04:41
But still, why wouldn't she tell me if she was on the committee?

0:04:43 0:04:46
It's just so horrible, having all these thoughts about my best friend.

0:04:48 0:04:52
We braved the roaring rapids at Waterland together.

0:04:53 0:04:57
We're the sports day's unbeaten three-legged egg race champions.

0:04:57 0:05:01
And no-one even comes close to our Halloween costumes.

0:05:01 0:05:04
RINGTONE

0:05:04 0:05:06
Oh, I can't stand it any more. I have to find out if Eve did this.

0:05:06 0:05:10
The thing is...

0:05:10 0:05:12
-Shari, it's 20 to eight.

-..I have no idea how!

0:05:12 0:05:14
Shari! You'll be late. Shari?

0:05:16 0:05:19
Sweetheart, are you all right?

0:05:19 0:05:20
Eve just called on the house phone,

0:05:22 0:05:24
she says she hasn't heard from you since yesterday afternoon.

0:05:24 0:05:27
Everything OK?

0:05:27 0:05:29
I don't want to go to school today.

0:05:33 0:05:36
It's prom tonight.

0:05:36 0:05:37
I don't want to go.

0:05:38 0:05:39
Darling, if you and Eve have had a fight,

0:05:39 0:05:42
I'm sure all you need to do is talk to one another.

0:05:42 0:05:44
You've been best friends since you were little.

0:05:44 0:05:47
I promise, whatever it is, by tomorrow you'll be

0:05:49 0:05:51
laughing about it together.

0:05:51 0:05:54
-SHE SOBS

-Sweetheart? What's wrong?

0:05:54 0:05:56
You know, you feel a bit hot.

0:06:01 0:06:04
Maybe have a sleep this morning

0:06:04 0:06:05
and we'll see how you feel this afternoon. I'll call school

0:06:05 0:06:08
and tell them you might come in later.

0:06:08 0:06:11
OK.

0:06:11 0:06:12
You've got to be better for prom,

0:06:12 0:06:13
you've been looking forward to it for ages.

0:06:13 0:06:16
And I've been on the net, looking for hairdo videos.

0:06:16 0:06:19
I think we can make you look really glam.

0:06:19 0:06:22
Thanks, Mum.

0:06:22 0:06:23
-I'm sure I'll feel better later.

-Good girl.

0:06:24 0:06:27
I'll get you a nice drink. Apple juice and lemonade?

0:06:27 0:06:30
-With strawberry sauce on top?

-Yes, please.

0:06:30 0:06:32
I do feel awful, you know.

0:06:41 0:06:43
I wasn't lying.

0:06:43 0:06:45
I feel worse than I've ever felt, ever.

0:06:45 0:06:48
Worse than when I swallowed six bugs,

0:06:48 0:06:50
getting my Brownies Wildlife Explorer badge.

0:06:50 0:06:52
Mum's right, I need to speak to Eve.

0:06:54 0:06:57
I'm not going to run around, going undercover or anything.

0:06:57 0:06:59
I'm just going to ask her. Simple as that.

0:06:59 0:07:03
After school.

0:07:03 0:07:04
Before prom.

0:07:04 0:07:05
I don't know what to think, LemonCalmGirl

0:07:11 0:07:13
and PeachPeachyLobster.

0:07:13 0:07:15
Eve has been my bestie since... forever.

0:07:15 0:07:17
I'm going to find out the truth tonight.

0:07:17 0:07:20
Hi, and welcome to Lana's prom make-up tips.

0:07:21 0:07:25
Let's start with foundation.

0:07:25 0:07:27
The important thing is to apply it gently and smoothly.

0:07:28 0:07:32
Don't use too much. Don't... Oh!

0:07:34 0:07:36
SHE SPLUTTERS

0:07:38 0:07:39
Hey, it's Shari. This is getting ready for prom.

0:07:44 0:07:47
I'm feeling a bit better. A bit.

0:07:47 0:07:49
And I'm going to go and speak to Eve straight...

0:07:49 0:07:51
Shari, stop moving your head!

0:07:51 0:07:53
Sorry.

0:07:53 0:07:54
Straight after my mum's finished my hair and I find my shoes.

0:07:54 0:07:58
It's all a bit hectic here.

0:07:59 0:08:00
-Mum, where's my tie?

-I hung it up on your chair on Tuesday.

0:08:00 0:08:03
-Wait, I remember, it's in the garden.

-What?

0:08:03 0:08:06
Why, Sid? Why?

0:08:06 0:08:08
-Oh, Shari, keep still!

-Sorry.

0:08:08 0:08:10
It's been really weird, not talking to Eve all day.

0:08:11 0:08:13
She's texted me a lot. There's all this evidence against her.

0:08:13 0:08:18
But, I need to talk to her face-to-face.

0:08:18 0:08:20
RINGTONE

0:08:20 0:08:22
Oh, she's texted again.

0:08:22 0:08:24
Oh, Mum, what's the time?

0:08:24 0:08:25
-You've got a while.

-Yeah, but I need to go to Eve's before prom.

0:08:25 0:08:28
I know! I know!

0:08:28 0:08:30
In the video it said use a paddle brush, is that just a normal brush?

0:08:30 0:08:33
Found it!

0:08:33 0:08:34
Shari, Eve just texted me to ask if your phone is out of battery.

0:08:35 0:08:38
-She's texted you?

-Yeah.

0:08:38 0:08:40
-She said she was worried.

-Oh!

-Shari!

0:08:40 0:08:44
But, Mum, I need to go right now.

0:08:44 0:08:45
-Mum, it looks perfect. Thank you so much.

-You're welcome, sweetheart.

0:08:47 0:08:51
But don't move around too much or it might fall down.

0:08:51 0:08:54
Oh!

0:08:57 0:08:58
-Hi, Shari. Wow, you look lovely. Nice hair.

-Thanks.

0:08:58 0:09:03
Well, are you ready?

0:09:03 0:09:04
I was going to bring my bike, but then I realised you might be

0:09:04 0:09:07
wearing a nice dress, so I put up some funds to get us a taxi.

0:09:07 0:09:11
Um, no, Zane, I can't.

0:09:11 0:09:13
Oh, don't worry. I'm paying.

0:09:13 0:09:15
No, I mean I can't go to prom with you in the taxi.

0:09:15 0:09:19
I'll have to meet you there.

0:09:19 0:09:21
Oh, OK. That's cool.

0:09:21 0:09:24
-It's just, it's about...

-The Dixi murders.

0:09:24 0:09:26
OK. I know that's important to you.

0:09:26 0:09:28
-You think it's important.

-Yeah, it is.

0:09:29 0:09:31
-Thanks.

-You've not got long. You'd better hurry

0:09:33 0:09:35
if you want to solve the mystery and get to prom on time.

0:09:35 0:09:38
Oh!

0:09:39 0:09:40
SHE KISSES HIM

0:09:45 0:09:46
Totally just kissed Zane!

0:09:52 0:09:53
But, I'll think about that later. I'm coming, Eve.

0:09:53 0:09:57
Whatever happens next, I just have to find out the truth, once and for all.

0:09:57 0:10:01
I'm an Eve's road and it takes exactly 18 seconds from here.

0:10:01 0:10:04
That's it.

0:10:07 0:10:08
That's the final piece of the puzzle.

0:10:08 0:10:11
Now I know who did it.

0:10:11 0:10:13
Now I know everything.

0:10:13 0:10:15

1. I'm with her and it's all fine

0:10:25 0:10:28

1. The girl with the sunshine eyes

0:10:28 0:10:32

1. Does she even realise

0:10:32 0:10:35

1. All she has to do is smile?

0:10:35 0:10:39

1. And I'm flying for a while

0:10:39 0:10:42

1. Reaching brand-new heights

0:10:42 0:10:44

1. Seeing brand-new sights

0:10:44 0:10:45

1. Bathing in the light

0:10:45 0:10:49

1. I'm finding in her eyes. #
