It could still be my hango.

He just wasn't acting alone.

We only think that because of what they did to his body.

So, what if it was a prank?

You know, someone's bored, they get his body,

draw some random symbols on it, but it's not connected.

How bored do people get here?

Well, I'm not saying this wouldn't be a step up, yeah.

I want this to be over as much as you do.

What they did to my hango's body makes it ongoing,

a conversation they want to continue.

We have to ask ourselves why.

Because they've got more to say.

Is, um, Griffith friends with the funeral directors,

the Crowthers?

Yeah, him and Leslie, the dad, they go way back.

Why?

Well, they literally had a dead body stolen

from right under their noses.

Wait, is he really called Leslie Crowther?

You still think it's Griffith, then?

I think he's connected, yeah.

You gonna talk to him?

No point. We've got more evidence.

(sighs)

I mean, good, I just got up too quickly.

Look, what if, um...

what if I spoke to him?

And said what?

I don't know, um...

"Come on, Griffith, uh...

"just... what's going on?"

Yeah, that should do it.

Okay, well, we need to do something, don't we?

So now somebody's making threats against you,

actual threats.

You know, those cops I reported back home?

I was explicitly told if I pursue it,

and then one day I'm on patrol and I need urgent assistance,

none would be forthcoming.

So this doesn't scare me.

If I changed who I am because of some threat,

then they'd win.

I'm gonna go talk to the Crowthers,

see if they've got any CCTV.

Say, we might get lucky, and they're all on video

loading my hand girl's body into Griffith's Volvo.

Do you know what you're doing today?

The kettle's just bottled by me.

Didn't Grace tell you what happened with Silas's file?

No. No, she...

Oh, wait, no, yeah, she did. She said you had it.

Do you find it, then?

I took it from her car when she crashed.

I hid it. That's why it was missing.

Because I didn't want her to solve the case.

Because I don't want her to leave.

Anyway, she's hacked me.

I'm here because I wanted to say sorry. Again.

Bloody hell, Wynter.

I'm not in the true way, I swear.

I know. I know you're not.

How is she?

It's chaos. We're nowhere.

Somebody's made a threat against her,

left a message on my uncle's body.

Right. That's it. You're letting me help.

I don't care what she says.

Help how? Anyway, she's hacked you, so...

You said yourself, you're nowhere.

Please. I want to make it up to her.

Grace thinks there's something fishy about Beth and I as well.

Fishy how?

No-one's seen her.

And she didn't take her laptop. It's in her bedroom. Grace saw it.

Has anyone checked it out? There might be something on it.

No, we'd need a warrant.

We can't even make a phone call to the storm passes and lines are back up.

How about I have a look?

I sneak in, open it up, see what she was chatting about.

You get caught. Sneak in.

I used to sneak into people's houses all the time.

What? I didn't nick anything.

Just have a look around. Make a sandwich, wash some tailie.

You ever sneak into my house?

We're getting off topic.

This could solve the whole thing.

And if I get caught, it's on me.

I'll say you had nothing to do with it.

No. No, look, we can't. It's just...

Sergeant, I am so sorry. Alone.

This is a crime scene. They shouldn't be in here.

Well, as our place of business,

a degree of traffic is inevitable.

Eric, stop laughing now.

I'll introduce.

You don't have any other bodies. Not real ones.

So stay out and lock the fucking door.

Understood.

But I would ask you to moderate your language in front of my boys.

They're easily stimulated.

I'm going to need to see the footage from any security cameras you have.

We don't have any, alas. We never felt the need.

Well, you might want to review that,

given a dead body turned up on the other side of town last night.

Well, Michangel always was the restless type.

Yeah. That would explain why there's no sign of a break-in.

Do you notice this blue tinge here on his underside?

This is called liver mortis.

It's when the blood pools in the lowest parts of the body.

After that comes putrefaction and decomposition.

Death has seasons, you see.

You all right there, Sergeant?

Don't look the full ticket.

Who else has keys to this room?

No-one you wouldn't expect.

There might be a set in your police station.

The doctor's surgery, the vicarage, of course.

I'm going to need statements from all of you.

And the names of anyone who can vouch for your whereabouts last night.

Well, let's not dally.

And your timing's perfect. We've not had our breakfast.

Come to the station. In the meantime, stay out of here, OK?

I really think you should stay.

You look warm. We'd like to spoil you.

Would you get out of my way?

Would you get out of my way?

Please?

Of course.

You try and get some rest, though.

Hiya.

You all right, then?

What?

Last night. My hangover.

I'm OK, thanks.

Listen, we need to talk to you about Berth and Prosser.

Think there might be a link to Kai.

So, need to have a look at her laptop.

Probably going to be a password.

You two are pals, so thought you might know it.

Did she have a favourite colour, favourite number?

Who has a favourite number?

I do.

73. Look at it written down.

It's got a bit of everything.

Is she policed now?

Oh, God, no. No, she's just helping out today.

And only today. I made her promise.

I don't know where when.

I don't want to get anyone into trouble.

Look, no-one's going to get into trouble.

Griffith might get into trouble.

Swifty forever.

Swift as in Taylor Swift, then I.E., then a number four,

then ever, all one word.

Swifty forever.

It's in the line.

Was.

How do you know saying Griffith would get in trouble would do it?

You wouldn't understand.

She's a young woman in a world of garment-faced men.

It's exhausting.

Why are they interested in Beth all of a sudden?

I don't know.

Something about Kai?

I don't think it's anything to do with...

this.

You need to rest.

Five minutes. You're exhausted.

One minute.

Why is everyone wearing masks?

Seems to be a characteristic of St. Jory...

that the longer they're cut off from the mainland,

the weirder they become.

It's been two days.

But a lot of them are morons.

Good, you're awake. How are you feeling?

Fine, thank you.

- Embarrassed. - Don't be daft.

Drink some of that. It'll sort you right out. And...

You wouldn't be falling over if you started having breakfast.

You heard the lady.

That's really sour.

Are you OK?

I, uh...

I stopped taking my medication today.

Why?

I don't want to spend what time I have left

lost in a fog of nausea and fatigue.

So I'm leaving my fate up to the gods.

I really hope they can hear you.

Sometimes on St. Jory it feels like we're cut off from them, too.

Hiya. Griffith?

Oh. Great, you're in.

I'm making lunch for Min.

You, um...

You got a minute?

Hmm.

Look, um...

What it is, is, uh...

I know you and Grace got off on the wrong foot.

I know she can be a bit... stubborn.

But that goes for you, too, Griffith.

Do you think I killed Kai?

Take your time. Christ, Matt.

What? Um... No.

No, I... I don't.

I'd be the one defending you.

I'd be the one saying, "Bastard."

It's like... you didn't like him.

That's where it gets weird.

He was just a kid, you're a grown man.

Maybe you just didn't care that he was missing.

There's all these gaps.

Gaps?

Is it?

You need to change.

And it's not just me who thinks it.

Ella does not.

"I could be body-snatched," she said.

I protected this island for 30 years.

When my Simone had her heart attack,

I was back at my desk by the end of the week.

When Bethan...

I was back at my desk by the end of the week.

There, write that down.

It should fill those gaps nicely.

But there's stuff that does make sense about Bethan now as well.

Tread carefully, lad.

We don't want to find ourselves somewhere we can't get back from.

If someone asked me, "Where were you on the blah of the blah?"

I'd be like, "I was at home."

I was. I don't know, at the pub.

I'd want to help.

And look, ask for Bethan.

If it's just a coincidence, then great.

Just have a go.

Look, no-one's doubting what you...

Griffith, there's stuff of legend. Ask anyone.

But there's questions.

About decisions you made, about where you were.

I won't dignify them.

I'm sorry, Griffith.

I didn't get them in a raffle.

30 years graft.

You know what else 30 years gets me?

The right to say, "Move on."

Nothing to answer.

And for that to be that, 30 years means I get heard.

30 years means I get heard.

I'll tell you what 30 years has got you, Griffith.

Ignoring what's right in front of my eyes.

It's got me making house calls behind my sergeant's back,

begging you just to have a conversation.

You want to be heard, but don't want to talk to her, fine.

Then talk to me.

But you're not you any more.

You're her.

I can smell her on you.

[sniffles]

I tried.

I really did.

[footsteps]

We've, er...

We've got something to show you.

"We"?

She's not part of this any more, didn't she tell you?

She's just people now.

My hearing's just fine, though, so no worries there.

We think we've got a motive for Griffith.

Don't, um... Don't freak out, but...

Winter saw some emails on Bethan's laptop

between her and Kai.

Bethan's laptop is in her room in Griffith's house?

Do you have a warrant I don't know about?

You said you wouldn't freak out.

I don't... I don't think I did say that.

So what, you asked to see them and Griffith was like,

"Sure, why not?"

No.

Then I'm confused, because it sounds like

you accessed them without anyone's permission.

Is that what you did?

Look, let me just tell you what they said.

Owen.

Is that what you did?

Okay.

Did anyone see you?

We, um...

We think Min did.

You have jeopardised this whole case.

You understand that, don't you?

You have fucked it, all of it.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I have to report you.

How am I here again?

Why does this keep happening to me?

We did it because we were worried about you.

You had an actual death threat.

We had to do something.

No, don't tell yourself this was a courageous thing.

You did it because you have a crush on me.

And you did it because you want this case over with,

because it makes you sad.

He was all we have and now we can't go near him.

The only way, the only way I'll get Griffith now

is if he literally hands himself in.

You... You can both see him too, right?

(DISTANT EXPLOSION)

This is an informal conversation I am participating in of my own accord

because of my eagerness to find out who killed Kai Preeto.

And obviously anything Winter or Owen may have seen on my daughter's laptop

is inadmissible.

I don't know what they found. I wouldn't let them tell me.

By entering my house under false pretenses,

they have committed burglary.

And accessing her laptop without consent is a breach of data protection.

I am deciding whether or not to press charges.

Let me know if you do. I'll help.

So where do you want to start?

Your vendetta against Kai?

Being AWOL for two hours while he lay dying?

The half-arsed search? Stonewalling my inquiries? You choose.

If you had enough to arrest me, you would.

But there's nothing to eliminate you either.

I keep throwing you ropes. I keep saying, "Explain this, explain that,"

but you never do.

What eliminates me is the lifetime I spent sat in that chair.

I don't care. It doesn't count.

But it should count!

A man's words should matter!

Why are you even here? To tell me that?

I know what your plan is.

I wish to God I had a plan.

You want my pension.

I don't want your pension.

You want to ruin me. You want to cancel me.

I want to find who killed Kai.

And if that wasn't you, then surely some part of you wants that too.

Let's start at the beginning.

Why was there no investigation into Bethan's disappearance?

Because I knew she'd gone to the mainland.

She packed a bag and took some pictures of her mother.

And a week later, I took her laptop to a place in Swansea and got it opened.

And there was an email from Kai Predo, wishing her a safe trip.

She'd deleted everything else, so he must have sent it after she'd gone.

And there was the whole thread underneath it.

He'd arranged it all for her.

Booked her ferry ticket, set her up with a new phone, email, new bank account.

And that is why you hated Kai?

Because he helped her leave you?

So when you found him in Lucy's garden, it was your chance to get your own back?

You knew that he had a crush on Lucy, so you told him she was sleeping with his dad.

Well, you know what happened then, don't you?

Kai and Ian had a massive row. He ran away and then he died.

Sorry I interrupted your flow.

The next day, Ian turns up at the station because Kai hadn't come home.

But then the Widow's Whale landed, so there wasn't anything we could do.

Wait a second, you were missing during the Widow's Whale?

I wasn't missing. I stayed at home.

Because it was Min's first one, so I wanted to make sure she was alright.

Then I ran out of drink, so I told Min there was a cow loose and went to the pub.

The pub was closed.

Laurie was there. She had the flu.

So she hadn't gone to the hall with everyone else.

So I sat with her for a couple of hours.

Doing what?

Talking, drinking. Ask her.

Oh, I intend to.

So what happened after the storm cleared?

Ian wanted everyone out looking for Kai, but it was my belief he'd gone to the mainland too.

Anyway, me and Owen searched the island.

Most of the island.

We didn't find anything, and so thought that was that.

In hindsight, that was an error.

So in this email thread, did Bethan say where she was going?

Hmm.

It's not relevant.

It's called policing, Griffith. I need to check that out too.

She's at university.

Leeds.

Doing a degree in sustainable fashion, whatever the hell that is.

She's using her mother's maiden name.

Boyd.

That's pretty definitive.

This wasn't just some teenager spreading her wings.

She erased any connection to you.

Why?

She didn't like me.

That happens.

Parents and their kids.

It's not always like a story.

After her mother died, it was just the two of us.

Perhaps I could have been softer.

And she was called Simone.

She...

Er...

I think that's why Kai and Beth got on. They had this in common.

I'll get your thing for Lucy, then.

I don't have a thing for Lucy.

I don't mean a sexual thing.

She was your last link to Bethan, just as she was Ian's last link to Kai.

Unlike Ian, I never wanted to screw her.

Oh, take that moral high ground where you can, Griffith.

You didn't kill him, but you sent Kai to his death.

So?

Got everything you want?

No, but who does?

Step outside for a minute, please.

Well?

It wasn't him.

Shit, really?

Yeah. Griffith totally hated him, but he didn't care.

He was just a kid.

He was a kid.

He hated him, but he didn't kill him.

While Kai was dying in the shelter, Griffith was in the pub with Lurie.

Wait, do you want me to double-check that?

No.

Actually, yeah.

Still an arsehole. Let's make him sweat a bit.

Where does this leave us?

Right back at square one.

Well, I meant us.

You and me.

Oh, he is all we bloody need.

Something I can help you with, Delanne?

Somebody tried to steal one of my boats this morning.

Dragged it as far as they could to the water.

Then tried to smash the bow away.

We're a bit pushed at the moment, but I'll come by later, yeah?

No, it's fine. I'll take a look.

Go ahead, Delanne. I'll meet you there.

You, uh, okay to talk to Lurie?

Wait, is this boat thing really worth the bother?

Think about it. Why is someone trying to leave the island now?

The storm's taking over.

The storm's taking over the island now.

The storm's still between us and the mainland, right?

It's really dangerous.

They must be desperate.

Why? Are they connected? Have they been threatened to?

You didn't answer my question.

About what happens with you and me.

Oh, we're not going to laugh about this one day, if that's what you mean.

I need you to stop coming here.

That's twice now you've jeopardised the investigation.

Do it again and I'll arrest you.

It's fine. I came here to say goodbye.

Listen, you're right. First time was a dick move.

But second time? No regrets.

I did it to keep you safe.

It's great you have this massive boner for the law.

But be careful you don't wake up all alone one day and realise,

"Oh, shit. The law just wasn't that into you."

Catch you on the flipside, dickhead.

Right, you can go home.

Owen's going to talk to Lowry.

I'll let you know if there's anything else we need.

And if it all checks out with Lowry, which it will?

I don't know. Go about your day.

I think I'll stay.

Why? I need to talk to Dolan.

I want you to tell me to my face.

Come home, Griffith.

I'm fine.

You go, love. You've not had any lunch.

Has this ever happened before?

People aren't usually daft enough.

The weather's still mud over the water.

That's why I reported it.

Someone's looking to get droned.

Did anyone else from the island

disappear around the same time as Kai?

Uh, none that we heard about. Why?

Well, if someone's trying to leave St. Jory now,

perhaps they did the same a year ago when Kai disappeared.

Yeah, but how will we find out, though?

It's obvious. There's CCTV footage

of the tourists getting on the ferry last year.

Every time we've looked, we've been trying to spot Kai.

We didn't think to check if someone else

was trying to leave the island.

How did it go with Lowry?

Uh, yeah, uh, she confirmed Griffith's story.

He was with her for the two hours,

complaining about how no one speaks clearly on TV anymore.

How did he take it?

Well, I haven't told him yet. I'll see him later, if you want.

He wasn't here.

Well, he made a whole thing of being told face to face.

Grace and Owen were busy, so...

Why don't I take a quick look, eh?

Ah. Oh-ho.

Yeah, yeah, just finished an old building like this.

I swear to you, I have absolutely no idea

how that bag got there.

Like, as I said, like, Griffith, he went into the storeroom,

then suddenly he turns around, and he's holding this backpack

that I-I-I've never seen before.

And then what happened?

It just sort of came for me.

I didn't mean to hurt him.

And then he handcuffed me.

So you sawed his hand off?

Yes.

No, I said I didn't know at the time.

Okay, so sometime after he asked you for it,

he told you who it was for?

Look, look, Kai wasn't stupid.

He was 13.

He knew that it was never gonna -- gonna come to anything.

I'd like to reconsider that now.

What are you all doing here?

We know you've arrested Douglas.

We know he killed Kai.

And then today, he killed Griffith.

Well, we have someone in custody.

That's all I'm willing to say right now.

You'll do your best, I'm sure.

But the law, as you understand it,

is fundamentally flawed.

Thank you for the pep talk.

Go home.

In my grandfather's time,

the islanders devised their own form of trial and sanction.

So, in order to ensure justice is done,

we will deal with Douglas ourselves.

Well, you don't have the authority.

But we do.

This is our island.

And we are the true way.
