01x06 - Episode 6

Post by bunniefuu »

[Max] As of now

this is a m*rder investigation.

Things are going to get crazy.

But this is a big opportunity

for me.

You promised me

this stupid feud was over.

Great, are you taking

her side as well?

-I’m not on anyone’s side.

-You should be on mine.

[Nancy] I used to think

of myself as a good person.

Everyone has doubts

from time to time.

-Show me!

-Max, the kids.

Show me the account!

What happened to the money,

Anna?

And no more lies

because I’ll know.

-[Anna] Why would you do this?

-[Nancy] I can explain.

Richard has lost all our money.

So, you threatened us?

You’re godmother to my kids.

I trusted you.

You girls are

the most important thing

in the world to me.

I will find a way

to earn your forgiveness.

[Holland]

Actually, your husband’s

been very helpful.

He mentioned that you had

a lump sum of money recently.

We’re getting a divorce.

[Max] Whatever you’re hiding.

They’re gonna find it,

and they’re gonna nail you

to the wall.

All of you.

We abducted Jack Evans.

We put him in Nancy’s car

and we drove him to the woods.

It was a stupid prank.

When we left him, he was alive.

[Max] Holland knows

you’re all connected.

[Anna] Nancy won’t say anything.

Tell me

what happened that night.

Who k*lled Jack Evans?

You need to figure it out.

It’s the only way

to make this go away.

You have no idea what your dad

and I have been going through.

-I hate you!

-I hate you!

I’m pregnant!

Who’s the father, Tam?

Jack Evans.

We came to tell you

the night of the party.

And then what?

[theme music playing]

What you doing here?

Waiting.

For what?

For you

to mind your own business.

Might be waiting a while.

See, I own this place.

Is that meant to impress me?

No

but it does mean

I can kick you off my property.

Go on then.

[chuckles]

[Anna] Look at me.

I need you to tell me

exactly what happened.

Tamsin?

What difference would it make?

Just tell me.

Get off, just get off.

[quietly] Get off, get off.

-[Tamsin sniffles]

-[Anna] Ryan

say something.

What do you want me to say, Mum?

That what I’m thinking is wrong,

that this isn’t happening!

Let’s all just calm down

for a minute.

-Just tell me!

-Mum, someone

is going to hear you, stop!

Right, Tam we want to help you

but we need to understand.

I wish I’d never met him.

-Smash it.

-I’ll have a beer.

I’m not playing you anymore.

Come on don’t be boring,

come on, put it in there,

let’s have another game.

[arcade machine jingles

overlapping]

-[laughs]

-Next time, bring Ryan.

I’m not a dating service.

How am I going to ask him out

if I never see him again?

Just text him,

I’ve told you.

-[Jack] Tamsin.

-Wh--

Your name’s Tamsin Price.

Your mum works at my brewery.

-Well done, Sherlock.

-Can I get a minute?

I’ll text you later, all right.

Is that your boyfriend?

No. I haven’t got a boyfriend.

Didn’t take you for a gamer.

That’s why I win.

I’m underestimated.

[both chuckle]

Did you want something?

What would your mum

think of this?

Who cares?

-Don’t you get on?

-Mm-mm.

Same as me and my dad, um

We’re like two strangers

living in the same house.

Still. Who needs parents, eh?

Mm, yeah.

We’ll be running

the world soon enough.

You’re very pretty, you know.

Of course it’s yours,

what do you think I am?

I don’t know, I hardly know you.

We used protection.

Yeah, well,

I guess it doesn’t always work.

Jesus Christ.

Is this about money?

No.

[Jack] How much do you need?

What’s it gonna cost?

To get rid of it.

What if I don’t want

to get rid of it?

You’re not having it.

I won’t be told what to do.

I’m never having kids.

Okay? Not ever.

And I’m not asking you,

I am telling you

to get rid of it.

Stop f*cking crying

and go get rid of it!

Go on!

And I want to see the paperwork!

[Ryan] What will you do?

Bit early for a mid-life crisis.

I don’t appreciate

people bullying my sister.

Oh, I didn’t realise

she had minions.

[Ryan] It’s dickheads like you

that give straight guys

a bad name.

Tamsin will decide what to do.

-Not you. And--

-See, here’s the thing.

I recorded what your sister

and me did on my phone.

Marks out of ten

I’d give her a three.

It’d be a shame

if I had to upload it somewhere

for people to see.

[grunts]

f*ck. [pants]

You need to work

on your technique.

[Ryan grunts]

[pants]

You tell your sister

to do as I say.

Oh, wow.

Little brother’s turned on.

[whimpers]

Is that what you came here for?

Huh?

You want a taste?

[grunts]

Tell her.

[Tamsin] I told you

not to interfere.

I need Mum.

I can’t do this on my own.

You can’t tell her now,

she’s at the party.

So, I’ll just take her outside.

He’ll be there.

I need to do it now.

Wait. I’ll come with you.

[Cat] Get his gear off,

few photos,

Jack Evans goes viral,

and Arwel comes back.

[Louie] Cat that’s terrible.

I love it.

[Nancy] Girls

I really don’t think,

-this is a good idea.

-[laughing]

What the hell are they doing?

[Nancy] We’ll all be fired,

you do realise that?

We saw you drive off,

and we followed.

And then what?

[suspenseful music playing]

[owl hoots]

[Jack] Take me back

or you’re dead.

[Cat] Well, I’m going.

[Anna giggling]

I don’t know about this.

[Nancy] Oh, come on,

I need a wee.

[car engine starts]

[Jack] Hello?

Who’s there?

[Tamsin] And then we found him.

What happened?

Tam?

Tam?

-I swear to God--

-What do you think happened?

Well, look who it is.

[laughs]

She's brought her minion.

[Tamsin]

Why’d they bring him here?

I don’t think your mum likes me.

No-one likes you.

She did this.

And those other b*tches.

And I’m gonna fire

the lot of them.

Come on, let’s just leave him.

[Jack]

Take me back to the party.

Tam, come on.

Or we could just have

our own party here,

the three of us.

Your brother,

he fancies me, you know.

Tam, come on.

You got rid of it yet?

Well, have you?

I want to talk to him,

on my own.

-What?

-I’ll be right behind you.

I’m not just leaving you

with him.

He’s pissed,

I’ll be fine. Just go.

-Two minutes.

-Mm-hmm.

Shout if you need me, yeah?

My hero. [laughs]

You wanna see something?

[grunts]

I recorded a little video.

You can send it

to whoever you like,

I don’t care.

I’m keeping the baby.

Okay.

What does that mean?

Your body, your choice.

But you think about that.

‘Cause you’ll be tied to me

for the rest of your life,

and I will never let you

forget it.

I’ll make your life

a living hell.

And I will turn

that kid against you.

And ruin your family.

Don’t talk about my family.

[laughs]

It’s gonna be so much fun,

f*cking you all up.

That kid is gonna wish

that he was dead.

[laughs]

[dramatic music playing]

[sobbing]

[twig snaps]

Tam, did you k*ll Jack Evans?

I had to.

[both straining]

[grunts]

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

[gasps]

[Jack grunts]

[exhales]

[crying]

[Tamsin] I’m sorry.

[crying]

[Tasmin breathes shakily]

-You all right?

-Let’s go.

[somber music playing]

[Ryan] Give me his phone.

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

I’m taking you to the hospital.

Why?

Because you need

to be checked out by a doctor.

I’m fine.

Please don’t argue.

Ryan, can you take her

to the car.

Tam, come on.

I’ll be out in a minute.

What can I do?

I honestly don’t know.

We’ll get through this.

How?

I don’t know, but we will.

[phone ringing]

[phone ringing]

-Max.

-[Max] I found something.

CCTV

of Tamsin and Jack.

Can you meet me at the hospital?

The what?

Is everything okay?

No. It’s not okay.

[heartbeat over ultrasound]

There we are.

-You have options.

-I know.

-You have to be sure.

-I am.

Tam, did he force you?

Promise me?

He was nice.

For a while.

I don’t want this baby

in prison.

Why didn’t you tell me?

I didn’t know where to start.

It’s like,

if we didn’t say anything

maybe it never happened.

[doorbell rings]

Cat.

I don’t understand what you did.

But I think everyone

deserves a second chance.

Wanna watch some telly?

[chuckles]

What would you like to watch?

[Cat] It doesn’t matter.

[TV playing]

[Anna] Our daughter’s a m*rder.

I don’t know what to do.

[tense music playing]

Is Nancy okay?

For now.

The police seem convinced

that she’s responsible.

Is she?

No.

I couldn’t represent her

if she was.

Out of respect for Arwel.

He was a good friend

but I never pretended

to understand him.

I don’t think anyone did.

But I know

he thought very highly of you.

The houses and their contents,

his investments.

And the brewery.

In the event of his death

Arwel wanted you to have it all.

No, thanks.

Sorry?

I don’t want it.

He doesn’t owe me anything.

It’s not about repayment.

I just don’t want it.

Louie the assets alone would

make you financially secure.

When you combine that

with the income

from the brewery

You’re not listening to me.

Arwel worked hard,

his whole life,

to build something

to leave a legacy.

This is your opportunity

to be a part of all that.

That’s every photo,

every document,

every last memento

I ever had of my family.

I want to erase our legacy.

I want it gone, just like Arwel.

And just like Jack.

[Ryan] Dad what

are you going to do?

You can’t tell the police.

[Max] I don’t know.

We could leave.

We could pack up our stuff

and we could move somewhere,

move countries.

-That’s a stupid idea.

-Ryan.

-Well, it is!

-I’m trying to help.

-Well, that’s not helpful.

-Why are you snapping at me?

Because you’ve dragged

our whole family

into a f*cking nightmare,

that’s why!

Ryan, stop.

We’re deciding

what to do together.

We’re not turning on each other.

Why aren’t you saying anything?

I’m still getting my head round

what you’ve done.

They’re going to find out

what happened.

And they’re going

to come looking for you.

-Max.

-I’m not sugar-coating it.

You’ll be charged with m*rder.

A good lawyer might

get it reduced to manslaughter

but that’s still a prison term.

I don’t know maybe there’s a way

of spinning it

using the pregnancy.

Maybe we tell them that

he attacked you in the woods

that he forced you

into having sex,

and it was self-defence.

-You want me to lie?

-You want to go to prison?

Would that work?

Depends how good the lie is.

If it wasn’t watertight,

if she wasn’t convincing.

[doorbell rings]

It’s the police.

-[knocking on door]

-No, Mum.

Take Tam upstairs

and stay there.

[doorbell rings]

-Tam, come with me.

-[whimpers]

Hey, Tam, come on.

Let’s go upstairs.

We have to protect her.

Can we come in?

I need to ask Max

some questions.

In private.

Shall we go through?

I didn’t want to do this

at the station, Max.

But I have to ask you

some questions about Anna,

and the night

of the brewery party.

Okay?

Sure.

-Tam, sit down.

-I don’t want to.

You’re doing my head in,

just sit down.

That's a nice picture.

Where is that?

Snowdonia?

How long is this going to take?

No idea.

Our family used

to go camping up there.

My Nan got chased by cows.

-What are you doing?

-I want to listen.

-Dad said to stay in here.

-I’ll be quiet.

-No, Tamsin.

-[crashes]

-Um, do you want to--

-Yeah.

I’ll go.

Did you notice any change

in Anna’s behaviour

after the night of the party?

No, not really.

Don’t you think

that’s strange, Max?

I mean, her boss was m*rder*d.

What the hell?

-Tam won’t sit down.

-What’s happening?

I don’t know, you need

to stay here and be quiet!

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Obviously, she was upset.

Did she talk to you

about Jack Evans?

-Of course.

-What did she say?

I knew he wasn’t liked.

-By Anna?

-By everyone.

You know all this,

how is it helping?

That’s private.

Everything all right up there?

Yes, yes thanks.

Do you remember what time

she got home that night?

Around twelve thirty,

quarter to one.

So, you were awake then?

Obviously.

And how did she seem to you,

what was her demeanour?

She was drunk.

Said the party

was pretty average

she got undressed

and went straight to sleep.

Did she seem upset, tense?

Not at all.

And tell me

about her relationship

with Nancy Clarke.

They’re like sisters.

They’ve always been close.

Have you noticed any shift

in their relationship

since the party?

None whatsoever.

Anything else you can

think might be helpful?

Don’t you think I would’ve said?

I don’t know, Max,

that’s why I’m asking.

No.

Do you mind if I use your loo?

It’s upstairs on the left

don’t lock the door, it sticks.

Did you find anything?

The arcade.

No-one recognised him.

She doesn’t know about that,

right?

Course not, she’d freak.

From now on,

you stay out of this, Max.

I won’t cover for you again.

Shh, shh.

Oh! [chuckles]

Hello.

Hi.

There’s an atmosphere in there,

I don’t like it.

Yeah, there’s a reason for that.

The girl’s pregnant.

I saw the paperwork,

it’s dated today.

Maybe that explains everything.

Maybe.

What did they say?

Max!

-[Ryan] Dad just tell us.

-Go upstairs.

No. We’re part of this.

They’re going after you

and Nancy as the prime suspects.

She knows something’s wrong,

it was obvious.

And you two smashing

sh*t upstairs didn’t help.

It was an accident.

I don’t want to think

about this anymore.

Can you guys give us a minute?

[exhales sharply]

That evidence you found.

You have to destroy it.

I need time to get

my head around this.

We don’t have time.

[Nancy] I don’t think

we ever truly know one another.

We stumble through life

like clowns,

wearing our personalities

like masks.

Hiding our secret desires

and darkest thoughts

behind a performance.

Behind habit and obligation.

And if we saw each other,

if we bared our souls,

I think we’d go mad.

Our truths would turn families

against each other,

would tear

lifelong friendships apart.

I’ve come to realise

that it’s the absence of truth

that holds us together.

That’s a cynical world view,

Nancy.

Truth should never be

regarded as destructive.

My marriage

died a long time ago

but neither of us

had the guts to admit it.

So, I looked to you,

to the church to fill that void.

And when faith wasn’t enough,

I started to fantasise

about you and me.

Time and time again,

like a teenager.

And you can look

as shocked as you like,

I know it wasn’t

all wishful thinking.

That’s my truth.

What’s yours?

I’ve spent so much of my life

focusing on the wrong people.

But now I have clarity,

and purpose.

I’m taking charge again.

Control is an illusion, Nancy.

He makes the rules.

Don’t you want

to break them sometimes?

Well, don’t you?

Very much.

Our actions reveal who we are.

Everything else is a facade.

We won’t see each other again.

-What’s going on?

-Gov’s called a briefing.

-What’s happened?

-Dunno.

Gareth’s looking for you.

If you’re worried about

what people

-are thinking--

-I’m not.

So, what’s going on?

Oh, here they are.

Not in prison yet?

f*ck off, Mandy.

Tick-tock.

What’s there to think about?

You’d be set for life.

If we have a life

after all this.

I don’t want it.

But the brewery’s been

in your family for years.

Yeah.

Our name on every sign,

every barrel, every bottle.

Every day a reminder.

Maybe it amused Arwel,

maybe it’s his way

of punishing me.

For what?

This is not about you, you know.

Get your head out of your arse

and think about everyone else

who works here,

this is their brewery to.

They’ll be fine,

someone else will buy it.

Yeah, some big corporation

will swallow it up.

Rip the heart

and soul out of the place

and install some robots.

What good will that do?

I can’t base my decision

on other people.

Then base it on you.

Do you want

to spend the rest of your life

shut away in that house,

shoplifting to make yourself

feel better,

or do you want

to make a difference?

This is a chance

to do things the right way

to be the right kind of boss.

Plus, you’d get to sack Mandy.

[laughs]

If you want to forget

your family, fine, do it.

Choose a new one. Choose us.

Are you getting emotional?

[laughs]

Pfft. No.

Now stop slacking off

before Gareth gets in a tizz.

Tish?

Are you serious about Cat?

Yeah.

You had a boyfriend.

And now I have a girlfriend.

She’s not as tough as

she makes out.

[Tish] I know.

If you hurt her, I’ll k*ll you

with my bare hands.

Yes, boss.

Have you seen Tamsin?

-Isn’t she in her room?

-She left this.

[exhales sharply]

[phone ringing]

-Yeah?

-She’s gone, Tamsin’s gone.

What do you mean, gone where?

I don’t know, she’s taken

her backpack and some clothes.

Jesus Christ.

It’s ringing out.

Try Nancy, then Harri.

No, don’t call anyone else.

I’ll call in a favour and

get a live trace on her phone.

Hey, mate, as quick as you can

if you can do this.

[Tamsin] sh*t.

[exhales]

[groans]

[exhales]

Stop.

She’s near the woods.

Somewhere

between the golf course

and Four Oaks Farm.

She’s heading

for the train station.

Go get her,

I’m right behind you.

I can’t talk about it.

I thought we were friends.

Don’t do that.

Is it Anna?

Is it?

Holland’s is convinced

the four women

are covering for someone.

We’re arresting them all,

tonight.

And she wants

to question your kids.

Max, don’t do anything stupid.

[tense music playing]

[Ryan] Tam! Tam, wait!

[breathing heavily]

Tamsin!

Stay here, call your dad.

-[Anna] Tam, wait!

-Just leave me alone!

-They’ve gone down here.

-Take a torch.

[breathing heavily]

[pants]

Anna!

Where is she?

I don’t know, I lost her.

-You, okay?

-[Anna] Yeah.

Tam!

[grunts]

Tam! f*ck’s sake, Tam!

-[crying] Just let me go!

-Go where?

-I don’t know!

-What?

So you’re just gonna keep

running forever?

On your own?

Cos that’s not a plan!

Tam, listen to me.

We’re a team

okay?

Tam, we just want to talk.

Listen to me. [pants]

If you run, they’ll know.

They’ll know it’s you

and they won’t stop looking.

You’re all better off

without me anyway.

-That’s not true.

-It is.

Look, Tam,

if we just go back to the car

and then we can go home.

Then what?

We just pretend that

none of this ever happened?

Yes! Yes!

-[Tamsin] It’s too late.

-Look, Dad, tell her.

It’ll be okay, won’t it?

We’ll figure something out.

-Dad?

-I don’t know.

[phone ringing]

[groans]

It’s the station.

They’ll be wondering where I am.

[Anford] Max, Max,

where are you?

-Max, are you there?

-[hang up tone]

There’s a way out of this.

I tell them it was me.

-No.

-They’re already coming for us,

it’s only a matter of time now.

If I confess,

and get a good lawyer--

[Ryan]

No chance. Dad tell her.

Maybe I can make a deal?

It’s me or her.

-It won’t work.

-We can make it work.

Nancy’s car is on CCTV.

Stop it!

Please stop talking like that!

[Anna] Nancy will play along.

They all will.

It's not enough.

Tam told us

where Jack’s phone is.

-That’s the proof.

-No, Mum, no.

If I do this,

Tam’s off the hook.

We say I confessed

that I ran

and that you arrested me.

Then you’re in the clear too.

This is insane.

[Anna]

They’re not going to let this go

until someone confesses.

[Tamsin] Dad tell her, stop it.

[sobs]

I’m doing this.

And I need your help

or it won’t work.

Max.

[somber music playing]

Anna! Anna!

There has to be another way.

Can you think of one?

Mum, please.

Please. [crying]

[Anna]

Look after each other.

Promise me.

Okay.

I love you.

[emotional music playing]

What the hell, Max?

I’ve been calling.

I know.

We’ve got a confession.

What?

From who?

I need you to repeat

what you told me outside

for the recording.

I k*lled Jack Evans.

I used a plastic bag

to smother him

while he was intoxicated.

Then I took his phone.

Your divers will find it

in the reservoir,

where I disposed of it

the following day.

This wasn’t planned.

I acted on the spur

of the moment, out of anger.

He’d mistreated my colleagues,

inflicting months

of psychological

and physical abuse,

it had to stop.

Pretty drastic solution.

I’m not proud.

But I am ready

to accept responsibility.

Nancy,

why are you telling us this now?

Because my actions

are affecting innocent people

who don’t deserve

to be drawn into this.

I want to be very clear,

Detective.

I k*lled Jack Evans

and I acted alone.

[phone ringing]

Anna?

[somber piano music playing]

You can’t do this.

It’s done.

Take this.

Hello?

[Anna] Nancy?

Hiya.

Nancy

why-- why are you doing this?

Why do you think?

Yo-- You have to take it back.

You have to tell them it was me.

I-- this isn’t

We all have to pay

for what happened that night,

in our own way.

But Tamsin

she’s got her whole life

ahead of her.

And she’s going to need her mum.

I can’t-- I can’t let you

I won’t be able to live

with myself.

Then that’s your penance.

And it’s enough.

It’s funny, you know.

I feel more free now

than I have in years.

Go home, Anna.

Help Tamsin through this.

Look after Cat for me

and Louie.

Tell them not to worry.

Tell them I’ll miss them.

But I’ll miss you most of all.

Nancy? [sobs]

[inhales sharply]

[sobs]

[uplifting music playing]

[music continues]
