01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

You see the message?

-Yeah, we all did.

[Nancy] I think we gonna have to

give them what they want.

I don't have five grand.

We've got savings.

It was for a holiday.

Oh, I feel terrible about this.

I promise you I'll pay you back

as soon as I can.

Me too.

I'll find a way to pay my share.

They want the money left under

Maddox street bridge tonight.

What if it was Tish?

She saw us with Jack.

He bit you?

I hated him.

I'm glad he's gone.

Jack's phone's missing?

We will have to search his room.

Why should I help the police,

if they won't even

let me bury him?

The camera's prehistoric

but it does the job.

I'll have to take

your hard drives.

How's your wife?

[all three] Happy Birthday.

She's a valuable conduit

to the brewery so use her.

I need to tell you something.

There might be something

in Jack's room

that explains what he was

doing in those woods.

It's an invasion of his privacy.

Jack's postmortem

results came back.

He was asphyxiated.

[theme music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[Arwel] Doesn't look

like him anymore.

[Louie] He looks peaceful.

He should have

been a better dad.

[Arwel] The cravat was

a good idea.

Hides the rope marks.

[infant crying]

I better go and check on Jack.

I'm sorry.

Who would k*ll my boy?

We've just paid a m*rder*r.

It might not be the same person.

We've got their number,

we should send it to the police.

Well, if we did that,

they'd find our numbers

in the phone records.

We can't withhold evidence.

At some point they're going to

find out we were in those woods.

Not if they catch

whoever did this first.

We're in too deep now.

If any of this

comes back on us

What if one of us k*lled him?

Don't pretend

you haven't thought about it.

Maybe one of us

went back for him?

In which case,

whose got the criminal record?

-Louie.

-She brought it up.

We can't start turning

on each other.

There were plenty of people

at that party

who could have followed us.

Plenty of people who hated him.

Sorry.

We went to see

the body this morning.

They said it'd be good for us,

that he looked peaceful.

But he was like a waxwork.

Just a thing, you know?

Empty.

Not a not a person anymore.

This is a m*rder investigation.

It changes everything.

If we tell them what we know

they can rule us out.

-You don't know that.

-Cat's right.

We'd be the prime suspects,

whatever happened

it would ruin our lives.

We don't have lives

right now, there's only this.

It will pass.

The best thing for us

to do is to sit tight

and wait for the police

to catch whoever did this.

IT have logged

one of the pub hard drives.

It's a back-up of his PC.

There's nothing

of interest on there

unless you're into g*ng bangs.

My g*ng bang days are long gone.

The second drive

is the CCTV back-up,

-but it's partially corrupted.

-Well, can they restore it?

They're reckon

we'll get something,

it'll just take

a couple more days.

[DS Holland] Have someone on it

round the clock.

Yeah, will do.

Meanwhile focus

on that brewery party

let's nail that timeline.

When you're finished

with their social media

re-interview all the workers,

see if you catch anyone

changing their story.

Yeah.

Max, I need you down

at Arwel Evans' place

with a POLSA team.

-Yeah, I'm on it.

-Oh, and Max?

Anything from Anna?

Nah.

Not really.

Any gossip going round,

any theories?

Nope, nothing.

This case could

put you on the map, Max.

If you play your cards right.

[telephone ringing]

Sorry Arwel.

This is a search warrant.

-His room's been stripped.

-This is how he left it.

[Max sighs] We need to know

all we can about Jack.

I don't know what to tell you.

What's in the barrel?

Rubbish.

Get down there and check it out,

and the bins.

What the hell

are you playing at?

I shouldn't have

snapped at her before.

Oh, she's all right.

Well, I'm not.

Every time Max comes home I feel

like I'm going to lose it.

I mean, I actually

dread him coming home,

how awful is that?

I can't find my car keys.

-Morning.

-Hi.

Listen, um, we'll talk later.

I promised Father Martin that

I'd do a bit of

cleaning for him.

Yeah, I bet you did.

I just need to keep busy.

It stops me thinking.

Is that your birthday jumper?

Yeah, yeah, I've been

meaning to ask

where it's from 'cause

they left the security tag on.

Oh, God. I'm so sorry,

I'll take it back.

I can do it.

No, they'll need the receipt.

-Honestly, it's no trouble.

-Aww thanks.

How's Arwel?

He's losing it.

He, um, wants to hold a memorial

at the house

'cause the police

won't release Jack's body.

Will you come?

Of course.

We've found a melted laptop

in the bins.

Remains of paperwork,

photos, belongings.

You're wasting time on me

when you should be out there.

What you've done will seriously

impede this investigation.

Jack wouldn't want you

picking through

his life like magpies.

He's private.

Arwel Evans, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of perverting

the course of justice.

You do not have to say anything

but it may harm your defense

if you do not mention

when questioned something

you later rely on in court.

Do you understand?

Wouldn't you do

the same for your boy?

Protect him,

even in death?

If I was you, I'd want justice.

[cell phone rings]

[controller keys clicking]

[knocking on the door]

[knocking on the door]

-You're supposed to knock.

-I did.

And I do your washing Ryan,

I know what goes on in here.

Mom I'm busy like,

what do you want?

Do you know

how to trace a phone, like,

find out where it is,

just from the number?

-Why?

-It's a girl at work's

getting prank phone calls.

I want to know who's doing it.

And you've got the number?

-Yeah.

-[sighs]

[keyboard keys clicking]

There's GPS tracker apps.

They're probably behind paywalls

but if she's desperate

then I guess

Yeah, I think she is.

Can you send me the links?

Are you spying on Tamsin?

This isn't about Tam.

-Are you spying on me?

-[chuckles]

Get over yourself.

I'm getting a lock

for that door.

Whatever.

Follow me please.

[DS Holland] Oh, Max.

Evans has called his lawyer,

they're coming down.

What do you think?

Um. I've known him for years.

Pretty straight, but, um

-I don't know.

-Well,

it's best you

don't do the interview.

I got to duck out

for twenty minutes

and deal with something.

Okay I'll keep you updated.

Oh, good work, Max.

[tag pops]

Oh sh*t.

[approaching footsteps]

Sundays are a day of rest.

I don't mind.

God's orders.

You know when

the first lockdown happened,

it got me thinking.

I realized that

I'd just been marking time.

Not

not really living. And

and what an insult

that was to

to God.

And to all those people

who don't have that luxury.

And so I swore that

once lockdown ended

I would change.

And then I didn't.

So, I've been praying

for help

for the courage to change.

I want my life

to count for something.

He heard you.

You know sometimes it's hard

to see the bigger picture.

God has a plan for all of us.

I used to believe that.

I used to think of myself

as a good person.

Everyone has doubts

from time to time.

Nobody's faith is

ever truly unwavering.

-Even yours?

-[laughing]

Especially mine.

-You're home early.

-[door closes]

I was thinking

take out for dinner,

pizza or something?

-Sure.

-The usual?

-I guess.

-Garlic bread?

Whatever you want.

What's wrong?

Are you having an affair?

-What?

-I just needed you to tell me.

Of course, I'm not,

what are you talking about?

-Are you leaving us?

-What?

No.

You need to be straight with me.

I am.

Max what's going on?

You withdrew our savings.

-No, I didn't.

-I got a text

One of those automated messages.

I thought it was a mistake

so I checked online.

-You emptied the account.

-I moved it.

Where?

Another account

with a better interest rate.

-Show me.

-Why?

-Show me the account.

-Don't you trust me?

You just lied to me so,

no, not right now.

-Show me!

-Max the kids--

Show me the account.

What happened to the money,

Anna?

And no more lies

because I'll know.

Well, say something!

I lent it.

To who?

A friend got into trouble

she needed money.

What kind of trouble?

She couldn't pay

her mortgage.

Who?

It doesn't matter.

A girl at work.

So, you gave her our savings?

We'll get it back.

When?

-I don't know.

-Why are we

subsidizing someone

else's mortgage?

She was about to be kicked out.

What would you have done?

I don't know, none of my friends

have ever asked me

for four and a half grand.

It was just sitting there.

That's not the point.

You didn't even ask.

What would you have said?

That presumably

she's a grown woman

who shouldn't have

got herself into that mess.

You just gave away

our money and lied about it.

I know I'm sorry,

I should've asked you.

Well, it's a bit late for that.

-Hi.

-It's all over the news.

They're saying it's m*rder.

Come in.

-[keys jangling]

-[lock clicks]

[door shuts]

We might've been the last people

to see him alive.

Cat what happened that night?

I don't know. Uh. You went

back inside and we went home.

And that's it?

That's it.

Well, where was Jack?

I guess he went back inside.

He didn't though.

I was watching for him.

You were drunk,

how can you be sure?

I'm sure.

Cat I need to know

what I'm covering for.

[scoffs] Nothing.

I don't know what happened.

Anyway,

what are you doing here, huh?

What's this really about

sudden attention,

being nice, the cakes?

What do you mean?

No one does

something for nothing.

That's pretty cynical.

Have you come into

any money recently?

Sorry what?

Have you?

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

That night,

after we left the party

I went back, to see

if you were okay.

Only you weren't there.

I went home.

Cat what's going on?

You can trust me.

I made you those cakes

because I wanted to.

Because I like you.

If you don't want

to believe that

fine. I'll go.

You're really talented.

This one's beautiful.

Why's she so sad?

Don't know.

There's a memorial next week

for Jack.

Yeah, I saw the email.

-Will you be there?

-Why would I?

Oh, we're going for Louie.

And I'd like it

if you were there.

[Tamsin] We're gonna

watch telly.

[Anna] Sure.

I'm not angry at you.

I'm angry at them for

putting you in that position.

You bailed out a mate

and I get it.

But we've worked hard

for every penny of that money.

I saw my parents' struggle

and I never want to

end up like that.

Your friend needs

to take some responsibility.

[phone ringing]

[phone vibrating]

[sighs]

Yeah?

[Dylan] Louie,

it's Dylan Williams here,

I'm a solicitor acting

on behalf of your brother.

What's happened?

Arwel.

They've released me

"pending further investigation."

Whatever the hell that means.

Why did they arrest you?

I burned Jack's belongings.

Why?

Arwel why would you do that?

Because I want this to be over.

[rumbling thunder]

Right.

Okay, boss.

Thanks for the update.

[Holland] Keep chasing those

nerds for that hard drive.

Will do.

-See you tomorrow.

-[Holland] All right, bye.

Any news?

Nothing I can talk about.

Oh, you scared

the sh*t out of me.

I'm so sorry.

We don't keep secrets.

We never have.

[objects clattering]

Can I help?

Oh no, just browsing, thanks.

[security alarm blaring]

[shopkeeper] Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Hey.

Excuse me.

Can you open your bag please?

How come Arwel

wasn't at the party?

How would I know?

And why you asking?

I thought you might've

heard something.

Right so I'm just your

interview subject, am I?

I'm not a mind-reader.

Fair enough.

Guess I'll see you later then.

[door opens, closes]

What's going on

with you and Dad?

-Nothing.

-That's not nothing.

[cell phone ringing]

-Hi Louie.

-Hi Anna.

First off don't panic.

[Anna] Max wait.

What are you doing?

I'm going to the station.

Louie's been arrested.

Have you seen her?

No one's telling me anything.

What's going on, how is she?

She's being interviewed.

Tell them it's a mistake she was

returning that jumper for me

they left the tag on.

She's admitted to theft.

Well, she's grieving,

she's not thinking straight.

There's more going on

with Louie than you realize.

-What do you mean?

-Look there's no point waiting,

she's gonna be a while.

Seriously, go home.

sh*t.

She won't say anything.

I told them I'd pay for it

but they wouldn't listen.

To be fair,

you should've done that

before you walked out

the shop.

Have you done

this kind of thing before?

No, never.

[knocking on door]

Max, this whole thing

is a mistake.

Can you give us a minute?

Ta.

What'll happen to me?

Well, it's your first offense,

you'll probably get off

with just a fine.

-"Probably"?

-The maximum sentence for theft

is seven years.

But it won't come to that.

I'll have a word

with the management,

explain what you've

been through.

Thank you so much.

But first I need your help.

Can you think of a reason

why Arwel would

destroy Jack's belongings?

No.

Pretty much everything

Jack owned,

Arwel chucked on a fire.

He's not coping.

I don't know what else

to tell you.

His flight landed

the afternoon of the party,

but he didn't go.

Do you know why?

Have you asked him?

He said he was tired.

Well then

It was the brewery's centenary.

Was there tension

between him and Jack?

I can't speak for my brother,

you'll have to ask him yourself.

Louie

do you have any idea

who might have been

in the woods with Jack?

No.

The investigation team's

been going through

the brewery accounts and

they've found something strange.

Regular cash withdrawals

from the main account

over the last 12 months.

Reported as "working expenses".

Over 40 grand's worth.

Any idea what they are?

[Louie clears throat]

Yep, they're

staff events.

The Christmas parties,

birthdays

That's a lot of money

on decorations.

I noticed the withdrawals

started around the time

Arwel retired

and you started helping out

with the accounting.

Was Jack aware of

these withdrawals?

Does your boss know

you're asking me about this?

It's not a formal interview,

I just wanted a chat.

-Between us.

-Trying to earn brownie points?

-Did Anna lend you money?

-Anna?

I know it was someone

from the brewery.

Four and a half grand.

Ring any bells?

Your face says it all.

-[knocking on door]

-[handle clicks]

Her brother's outside.

With a lawyer.

I want to see Louie.

My colleague hasn't

finished her interview.

I've been instructed by

Mr. Evans

to represent his sister

so I'll sit in, thank you.

Who cares about

f*cking knitwear?

I'll pay for it.

I'll pay for ten of them

just let her go.

It's not up to me.

This family has been

through enough.

Your superiors

won't even let me bury my son.

I have to hold a memorial

without a body.

I'm sorry

but in a m*rder investigation

we can't release the body.

Louie's grieving her nephew.

All I'm asking is for you

to show some compassion.

[sighs]

-Are we going or what?

-[Arwel] Oh.

"Thanks for getting me out

of the police station,

-Arwel." [clears throat]

-Yes, thank you.

You promised me

you weren't doing this anymore.

Dylan can get you off

a shoplifting charge but

but he can't work miracles.

All right,

can we get going please?

And if you needed money

you only had to ask.

Was this about Dad?

I understand if you feel like

you were owed something.

That's not what happened.

So why steal from the brewery?

Did Jack find out?

Oh, please tell me you

didn't have anything to do

-with what happened. No, no.

-Fine, I'll walk.

Please no, no.

I'm sorry.

All right. It's just

It's all

The police will want

to interview you

about the accounts.

And I'll make sure Dylan

sits in with you.

He says they'll get a warrant

to search your house so

if there's anything in there

you don't want them to find

Why would you do this for me?

[sighs]

Because we're family.

Hey.

What happened to Louie.

Arwel took her home.

-Did they charge her?

-No.

I sorted it.

Thank you.

I know what's going on.

You gave her that money.

You do realize

we'll never get it back?

I need to go round.

Can you pick up Cat

and meet me at Louie's.

Yeah.

[knocking on door]

I saw her

in the upstairs window.

-You've tried phoning?

-Yeah, she won't answer.

[knocking on the door]

What are you doing?

You'll break the window.

Louie!

Open the bloody door.

[Louie] Leave me alone.

Louie we just want

to make sure you're okay.

We're not leaving

until you speak to us.

Come on love.

I can't.

[Anna] Louie?

Hey. It's us.

-[Louie] Go away.

-Open the door.

Louie open the door

or Cat will kick it in.

I'm okay.

You don't look it.

We just want to check on you,

we're not here

[door closes]

What's all this?

It's brand new.

Stolen?

What? All of it?

How long have you

been doing this?

Years.

On and off.

You ever been caught?

You can hardly move in here,

how do you live?

Do you sell it?

No.

Then what's the point?

Louie.

If the police find this--

Yeah, they're getting a warrant.

We need to get rid of

everything right now.

But there's shitloads.

Do you know anyone?

Oh, yeah, that's right,

because I'm the criminal.

-Well, do you?

-No.

-Well yeah, maybe.

-We can't involve anyone else.

We

we'll just have to move it.

Where?

The brewery sheds?

Oh, too risky,

the police are all over it.

-Jesus Christ, Louie.

-I'm sorry.

You could hide it

in our garage,

as long as it's just

for a day or two.

It's full of junk anyway.

How do we move it

without Richard seeing?

He'll be in bed by nine.

-As long as we're quiet.

-You sure that's okay?

We'll need to borrow a van.

My neighbor's got one,

and he owes me a favor.

-We can't muck about.

-Right come on,

I'll give you a lift.

[sobs]

Can you stop?

I don't know.

Why didn't you ask me for help?

Because I like it.

We were sitting in the church

at my father's funeral

listening to the eulogies.

The lies about this "good man".

And

There was a woman next to me

I'd never seen her in my life

and she was crying.

Properly sobbing, you know like

she wanted the attention.

And her

purse was sticking

out of her coat.

It was red.

Fake leather.

Gold clasp.

And I took it.

I saw her looking for it

at the wake.

She was panicking and

she was shouting at the staff.

And I stood right next to her

with the purse in my pocket.

And I felt powerful

somehow.

In control.

It can't stay here long.

Don't worry,

we'll sort something out.

Thank you.

Come on. Let's go.

[phone chimes]

Have you seen my cufflinks?

Anna? Cufflinks.

They're in the drawer.

[door opening]

Dad's ready to go.

You look nice.

Can we get this over with?

Stop it, you'll mess

your tie up.

There'd better be food.

I'm starving.

I'll see you inside.

[Louie] We can't keep paying.

[Nancy] I don't think

we have a choice.

[Cat] We can't ignore it.

And I can't keep lying to Max.

All I do is lie. I'm sick of it.

-It's okay, love.

-It's not okay. I'm not paying.

Anna. What are you doing?

Louie's not feeling well.

-It's starting.

-I'll be right there.

-We'll talk about this later.

-No.

I'm done.

Thank you for coming.

I'm not going to stand here

and pretend Jack was perfect

or popular.

But he was my son

and I loved him.

Jack had his struggles.

We all know that

But I I'd hoped

that handing him a business,

and responsibility

like my father

did for me, it would've

helped him find his

place in the world.

But it wasn't to be.

In the end Jack followed

his own path.

He was fiercely unapologetic

about who he was.

He burned fast

and bright.

Excuse me.

But whatever mistakes

he may have made

I don't think any of us can say

that he deserved this.

If we have to be here

You probably shouldn't do that.

Shut up, you nerd.

Have a drink.

You, okay?

I need wine.

I'll get it.

You came.

You asked me to.

What happened to your eye?

Nancy been knocking

you around again?

Just me, being clumsy.

-You fancy buying a brewery?

-You're not serious?

Thinking about it.

Arwel it's been in your

family for generations.

Well, maybe it's time

to cut ties.

Draw a line

under the whole thing.

I'm not looking for any

extra investments right now.

Suits like that

don't come cheap.

That portfolio of yours

must be doing all right.

We're comfortable.

God that sounds tedious.

Come on Richard,

there's always room for growth.

Nancy's been telling me

to scale back.

And she's in charge.

Well, if you change your mind

you know where I am.

Least the weather held off.

Christ.

If we're gonna be

discussing the weather

I'm gonna need a top-up.

Sorry.

It's all right.

You look nice.

Hey, where's your sister?

I don't know.

[sighs]

Thank you.

I need to speak to my sister.

Sure.

-Let's go inside.

-I don't want to go inside.

Now, please.

You're looking at me

like I'm the enemy.

-You burned his belongings.

-I wasn't thinking straight.

No, you're smarter than that.

Louie

-what's going on?

-It all makes so much sense now.

And the thing is I knew--

In here. I knew.

But I kept telling myself

it couldn't be true.

You're getting worked up.

Have a drink.

Oh, I read about it.

Abuse, repeating itself

down the generations.

I don't know

what you're talking--

Oh yes, you do.

How many times

have I covered for you?

How many scrapes

have I got you out of?

And what do I get in return?

When I need you.

I get this

this hysteria!

Yeah, but I know

what I did was wrong.

I feel sh*t about it

every time I steal

I feel sh*t about myself.

But I can't stop.

Is that what it's like for you?

I need to know you feel remorse.

I need to know

you're not like Dad.

You're still letting him get

to you, after all these years.

We should have talked about it.

We never talked about it.

You should have seen someone.

I get it.

He's the reason you stole

from the brewery.

No, I didn't steal

from his brewery.

I'd have resented me too

if I were you.

But it was Dad's choice,

not mine.

We both know

why Dad left everything to you.

The same reason he hung

himself from those rafters.

He couldn't deal with

what he'd done to you.

Yeah.

I knew.

[sniffling] I let it happen.

'Cause I was glad it wasn't me.

He tried it once.

He came into my bedroom

late at night.

I screamed the house down.

And over the years

I thought I'd dreamt it,

like it was a nightmare

and then I realized.

He hadn't stopped.

He'd chosen someone else.

He'd chosen you.

That brewery was

the least you deserved.

And just so you know

Jack took that money.

I tried to talk to him

but every time I mentioned you

he'd fly off the handle.

God it all makes

so much sense now.

[sniffling]

You have no idea

what I went through.

You were meant to protect him,

to break the cycle.

I wanted my brother to salvage

this f*cking mess of a family!

You're deluded.

You don't know

what you're saying.

You burned his things

to protect yourself.

Was there a diary? An email?

Is that why you tried

to buy him off?

Or was that guilt talking?

Please tell me there's guilt

in there somewhere. Please God.

God you're just like Dad.

You've always been

an embarrassment to this family.

And now, you're a thief

and a fantasist.

I should've let

the police lock you up.

It should be you

in that morgue,

not him.

It should be you.

[line trilling]

-Mom, we've got a problem.

-[gasps]

-How much has she had?

-I don't know.

-How much, Ryan?

-I don't know!

I found her like this.

She just needed

to sit down for a bit.

Were you watching her?

-Weren't you?

-It sinks.

Let's get her home.

Come here, come on.

Thanks Nance.

I'm so sorry.

Can everyone just back off.

You're making me feel worse.

Ryan, can you get a bucket.

She needs water.

What?

Don't look at me like that.

You made

a fool of yourself today.

Taking after my mom.

I know who this is now.

I wish she was happier.

It's an old drawing.

I stopped doing self-portraits,

started on these.

I really like this one.

I could never

get the pose right.

Will you draw me one day?

Like Rose from Titanic?

I love that film.

Me too.

Don't tell anyone.

You secret is safe with me.

Sorry.

Why?

[gasps] What?

Just popping out.

Tam's asleep

but keep an eye on her.

Okay.

[Max] Anna?

Where you going?

Cup of tea with Louie.

I'll be half an hour.

[cell phone ringing]

-Hello?

-Hey, it's me.

We've retrieved an image

from the pub's CCTV.

Can you see Jack?

-No, but there's a vehicle.

-Email the photo.

[phone buzzing]

This is Arwel Evans,

please leave a message

and I'll call you back.

It's me.

We need to talk.

You need to see someone

you need help.

[Louie] Please call me.
