Original subtitles

What did you think of Joe? You took him on.

As a favour to his father.

[Cat] You're happy to campaign against his son now?

We can't move on because of you.

- I'm sorry. - You're sorry?

- [Cat] Remember the sister? - [Caryl] Who disappeared?

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Wyn Pritchard.

- Shelley. - You used to love my bedroom.

Didn't you, Dad?

My father, that day, he was there.

Joe!

Get up! Sharon!

[smoke alarm blares]

Mam's not answering the phone.

The fire's out. Parry told us not to panic.

They got there quickly. She'll be OK, right? You ready?

Just give me two minutes to fill this up for you.

- You could be there for hours. - No, we'll manage. It's fine.

Why won't you let me come with you?

There's no need for everyone to lose sleep, is there?

OK? Right, I'll let you know how we get on.

Greta needs my support right now.

There's something you're not telling me. I can feel it.

- Speak later. - Gaf.

Don't start keeping secrets from me.

[door closes]

[officer] OK, Shelley, if you'd like to begin

by telling me why you're here.

I want to report my father, Wyn Pritchard,

for historic sexual abuse.

[theme music plays]

[man over police radio] This is Oscar Bravo 74.

A neighbour reported seeing a man

matching Pritchard's description

entering the property.

Over.

When are you gonna leave us alone?

He saved her. If it wasn't for him, then...

If it wasn't for him, what? Sharon would be a grandmother.

We'd all be living happily ever after.

He can burn in hell for all I care.

Here, Greta.

Should I be concerned by your presence, Miss Donato?

I know how it looks, but Joe didn't start that fire.

And you know that because...?

I was with him.

Look, he's starting to remember things about Ela's last day.

Sorry. How do you know my brother?

Are you Shelley?

So why didn't you phone us?

I don't know. Look, I was just giving him a lift.

And he saw Sharon's house and the smoke...

He broke the conditions of his licence again.

- And saved her life. - All right. That's enough.

Take a statement. And a word of caution.

Make sure you disclose everything.

And as far as Ela Roberts goes, from now on,

leave the police work to us, all right?

Yeah, well, no offence, but you haven't made much progress

in the last 18 years, have you?

Shelley. Um...

Cat Donato.

It seems he's quite good at attracting trouble.

[ambulance door closes]

[siren wails]

[message alert tone]

...son to Gwilym and Eirwen Pritchard,

in a bedroom on Bryn Du Farm.

[Shelley] Was that my bedroom?

[Wyn] Shelley.

[Shelley] Is that where you took your first breath?

You used to love my bedroom. Didn't you, Dad?

[Wyn] Shelley! Shelley!

Shelley.

Shh.

It's OK.

I thought you were dead.

I know.

I know.

Here she is, a phoenix risen from the ashes.

Look, you're still here. That's the only thing that matters.

I'm so sorry, Mam.

I should never have left you there on your own.

- You could have died. - But she didn't.

She's gonna be fine. Aren't you? Just fine.

At least they've caught the bastard. I hope he dies.

I hope they throw him back inside

and drop the key down a drain.

Why don't you go and get us a coffee and something to eat?

I'm starving. Go on.

Sorry. I thought I'd seen the bastard off.

I thought I'd scared some sense into him.

Got that wrong, didn't I?

You and me both.

So what happened? Do you remember?

I remember seeing the bottom of a wine bottle.

[chuckles]

- Gaf.... - Mmm?

Gaf, that morning,

when she ran away,

why didn't we run after her?

It's not our fault.

Isn't it?

[phone rings]

I've gotta take this, OK?

- Hi, Sali, love. - How's she doing, Gaf?

- Yeah, yeah, she's awake now. - She'll be all right, then?

Yeah, hopefully, hopefully, you know.

The sooner all this is over,

the sooner we can get back to normal.

Oh, normal sounds amazing.

I was thinking, maybe we could plan a little trip,

you know, when this is all over.

Yeah, yeah, well, you know, one thing at a time, eh, love?

Yeah, just think it would be nice to do something for us.

Maybe we could even renew our wedding vows, but in Majorca.

What do you reckon?

Hello? Hello? Gaf?

[bleeping]

Shelley.

How is he?

- Getting better. - Great.

Um, somebody filmed you last night.

They sent me the video.

Llanemlyn never disappoints.

Tell me about it.

So what do you want to ask me?

Well, what if Joe wasn't solely responsible for Ela's death?

What if Wyn was somehow involved?

Joe remembers him being there,

at the caravan, the day of the murder.

Is it possible that your father was abusing other girls too?

Well, he is a sadistic pervert, so...

My brother was 14 when I got away.

Just a boy, really.

Too young to protect himself.

I hate to think what happened to him after I left,

what led to him killing that poor girl.

So help Joe give Ela's family what they need, an ending.

- [car approaches] - [dogs bark]

Is there something I can help you with?

We've just arrived at the property.

Wyn Pritchard, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of sexual assault of your daughter.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence

if you do not mention when questioned something which...

- There's no need for... - ...you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be taken in evidence. Do you understand?

[phone rings]

[Nina] Hello?

Yeah, speaking.

No. We always take allegations of sexual abuse seriously...

Your mum's pretty intense this morning.

- Who's she talking about? - [door closes]

Joe Pritchard's father.

Nice family.

Listen, we need to think about heading back.

I need to start prepping for that pitch I've got on Monday.

I might stay on a couple of days.

I'm just feeling really tired.

You would tell me if you were starting to feel low again?

It's not that. I'm fine. It's just the baby.

I just need to rest.

Um...

Izz, I know something happened here in the past.

I don't know what, and you don't have to tell me.

But I've been thinking lately...

maybe if you faced it, dragged it into the light...

You've been so stuck.

And I was... well, I was thinking that...

I'm sorry. I don't even know what I'm talking about.

You get your rest, OK?

I've got your back, whatever you wanna do.

Here.

And then, after that... I don't know.

I must have passed out.

What you did was exceptionally reckless.

You're lucky you're not dead.

Am I?

Do you know if our father's been questioned yet?

He's been arrested and interviewed.

- And? - He's been bailed to return.

They'll need to speak to you about it as well, Joe.

What about Joe? What's gonna happen to him?

He's already been recalled to prison

for breaching his licence.

He'll be taken into custody later today.

But it wasn't his fault.

Best person to speak to is his probation officer.

Tegwen.

Ah, Carwen. Is the boss around?

Just a little something to say thank you

for her speech last night.

She's not in today.

Well, I'm sure if you phoned her

and told her that I need to speak with her, urgently...

I'll email her to give you a call.

Best I can do. Sorry.

[door opens]

Well, well, look who it is.

They're beautiful. Must have cost you a fortune.

Grand gestures, that's what he's all about.

Just come to check on my friend.

[Gafyn] Yeah, well, it's peace and quiet she needs right now.

Bit of moral support is what she needs, I'd say.

It's what she's always needed.

Why don't you two get off home? You must be knackered.

No. No, no, no, we're fine, fine.

[Sharon] I'm gonna need you later on.

The doctor said they might not keep me in much longer.

Come on.

Gaf. Thanks.

Can't turn my back on you for a second, can I, you nutter?

You know me. If I do something, I do it big.

For a minute there, I thought I was gonna be

a bloody pallbearer.

Sorry.

I thought that was it.

No more.

OK?

Sharon...

I know you like your independence and...

and all that.

But you know they say no man is an island?

Well, no woman is an island, and...

I just don't think you should have to

do this on your own any more.

Shar...

I love you.

I love you and I wanna be with you.

You silly bugger.

I mean it.

I know.

You're just gonna have to give me a bit of time.

That's OK, cos...

I've got all the time in the world for you.

[door opens]

All right, love? I was just gonna have a coffee.

- Do you fancy one? - No, thanks.

Hey, she's having a hard time of it. You know that.

I just wish she'd let me in, Gaf.

I'm a really good listener.

People always say that about me.

Yeah, but this is not about you.

No. No, it never is, is it?

Oh, don't be soft. Come on.

Do you know what?

- You're just as bad. - Hey?

What exactly is going on with Sharon?

There's nothing going on with Sharon.

Everything's fine. Nothing to worry about.

I am not stupid, Gaf.

And I could actually help.

I know, love, I know.

Well, there is something you can do if you wanna help.

Of course, yeah. What?

Could you get the spare bedroom ready?

It looks like Sharon's coming out of hospital tomorrow.

You know, the one with the bed, next to Greta's.

She can't go home. The house is badly damaged.

Hello?

Hello?

[door creaks]

[Wyn] Snooping again?

Just... looking for answers.

You won't find any here.

Shelley seems to think otherwise.

Shelley's a silly little girl.

She likes the limelight too much.

Joe told me that you were there.

At the caravan, that day that Ela died.

Where you interested in Ela the same way you were interested

in your own daughter, Mr Pritchard?

It's time for you to go.

Right.

Is that what you do?

Scare people into getting them to do what you want?

- Threaten them? - I don't need to scare anyone.

People around here respect me.

They know how much I've done for them.

Well... they certainly know

what you've done now.

[Shelley] It's gonna be OK.

No, it's not.

Look, I know it's hard to believe...

I'm rotten inside.

You're not.

I'm a weirdo, a fuck-up.

No. That's him speaking. That's his voice, not yours.

Joe, you're not a bad person.

- I know you. - Knew me.

I know my brother.

- I murdered someone. - You just saved someone.

I took a girl's life.

Whatever happened, it's because of him.

Because of what he did to us.

To you.

You never had a chance.

You off out?

I've made up the spare bed.

I'm going to see my parents.

I might stay for a couple of nights.

OK, what's this about now?

Cos Sharon's coming to stay? Look, you know what she's like.

I just wanna keep an eye on her,

stop her from doing anything else stupid.

Like what?

- It doesn't matter. - More secrets.

I'll see you.

[types text]

[message alert tone]

I know about the diary, Greta.

Who told you?

[sighs] Sali.

If I could just read it,

then it might explain why she was at the caravan.

She had no right.

It might help put the pieces together.

You are the last person on earth I'd trust with her diary.

- It's just... - She hated you.

- And your weird mate. - OK.

Does... Does Sharon know about the diary?

Because I'm sure she would want

any bit of information to be out there,

if it helped.

The nurses were so good to her

until she caught one of those bugs.

C. diff. Is that right, now?

Sounds like it's short for Cardiff.

Anyhow, after all those ops, it was the bug that got her.

She dropped dead, just like that.

Well, at least you didn't have an operation.

Anything we can get for you, love?

No. No, thank you.

- Oh, police. - Oh, right you are.

We'll be in touch, the group, talk about the way forward.

See you soon, OK?

Bye, love.

Bye, now.

I hear they're letting you out. You've done well, considering.

I've been through worse.

Do you smoke, Sharon?

No, not really. Well, not unless I...

The fire investigation crew couldn't find

any residue of an accelerant.

I was upset. Maybe I had a fag or two.

Both you and Joe Pritchard were found

between the fire point and the exit point,

which suggests he was telling the truth,

that he went in to save you.

[Greta] She's probably done me a favour.

There's no way back now.

Don't blame yourself.

You were just looking after your mam, protecting her.

Was I?

I don't know. I just wanted it to be normal.

I wanted us to carry on as if nothing had happened.

As if Ela never existed.

The diary could have helped.

[Rhys] It's not too late to make things right, is it?

[sighs]

No.

It's not.

Dad's gonna go mental when he finds out.

I'm behind you all the way, babe.

I'd like to talk to him.

No. Sorry. He needs rest.

So do I.

I promise I won't do anything.

There's a policeman out there.

It's OK.

Give us a minute.

You probably think I'm gonna thank you.

Well, I'm not.

Why should I thank you when you dragged me back

into this nightmare?

I need the truth.

Just tell me the truth.

I can't.

It doesn't work like that.

And getting the shit battered out of me won't help either.

I'm not proud of what I did.

I don't even recognise myself any more.

But you wouldn't wanna live up here.

Not many people could bear what goes on up here.

Things have been coming back to me recently.

From the caravan.

I see bits.

Fragments.

And Ela?

Do you see her?

Told you I never trusted him, didn't I?

- Who? - Wyn Pritchard.

Must have heard his daughter's back,

making all sorts of allegations.

You were right. Hey...

Did you know that Ela kept a diary?

What diary?

Well, Greta's had it this whole time.

- What's in it? - I don't know.

She won't let me near it.

I'm half tempted to tell the police,

you know, force the issue.

It's not really your place, though, is it?

But what if it tells us something about her last day?

Yeah.

Look, give me half an hour to set up here.

- I'll meet you by the square? - Yeah, all right.

Shame he's not a builder.

Any sign?

Junior?

Junior, where are you?

Puss, puss.

[kitten meows]

[kitten meows]

[Dai] Well, I'll be damned.

I've been looking for him for hours today,

and he was there all along.

You just needed to know that me and Ela were safe.

[meows]

Didn't you?

I'm home, cariad.

I'm home.

Ela?

Upstairs is fine, apart from a bit of soot.

This room and the hall are gonna need a bit of work, though.

Come on, girl. We shouldn't be here when it's like this.

You all right?

Shar?

I've lost her.

She's gone.

Caryl?

Oh.

Oh!

And this is their school photo from last year.

They're good kids.

You're gonna like them.

No. I don't expect to meet them.

I want you to meet them.

I'm sorry I left you.

I had to go.

I don't think I would have survived otherwise.

But I've always felt so guilty.

It wasn't your fault.

No, but I need you to know... I meant to come back.

I thought about it so many times.

What do you think happened that day at the caravan, Joe?

Did he have something to do with it?

He was looking for me.

- Calling my name. - When?

After Ela came to the caravan.

After I...

I ran into the woods.

And what happened then?

I've tried. I... I can't remember.

It's OK.

It'll come.

I made you a cuppa. It's real sugar instead of sweeteners.

How are you, Sharon?

You two need to stop worrying about me.

You need to move on, look after yourselves.

No, I'm here for you.

Whatever you need to do, I'm behind you, OK?

Why don't I take Sylvester Junior down here?

And you, upstairs, a lovely bed all made up for you.

Now, are you sure there's nothing else I can get you?

Get some rest.

We'll be downstairs if you need us.

[Nina] I thought you were in bed.

Have you managed to eat anything?

Any news on Joe Pritchard?

Well, he's still in hospital,

but hopefully back in prison soon.

Must be difficult for the mother.

Sharon Roberts?

Bringing it all back again.

Well, it's difficult for everyone.

You just have to carry on.

What about Wyn Pritchard?

I'm not getting involved.

He's not my problem any more.

Isn't he?

Mam, I'm scared.

Izzy, I have got to go into the office.

Get some rest. Have a bath.

You'll feel a lot better after that.

All right, boys.

[children chatter and yell]

I could have been killed!

[door opens]

[Shelley] Not much down there.

A couple of crappy sandwiches.

Do you want egg or cheese?

She wasn't dead.

Caryl...

[knocking]

You want the truth about my son and that girl?

Answers for your story?

Take this.

[door opens]

I'll talk with Nina. Now.

Mr Pritchard, I'm sorry, but she's not in.

Then get on the bloody phone and get her down here!

- She's not here. - No?

Then maybe this will help.

No! No, please.

There she is.

Councillor Vaughan.

Thought you could avoid me, did you?

Avoid my calls?

It was never going to be that easy, was it?

We... had a deal.

Wyn, don't.

One day...

the truth will out.

- [gunshot] - [Carwen screams]

[thud]

[Cat gasps]

[phone rings]

Hi. It's Shelley.

You need to come to the hospital now.

The police are coming back to arrest Joe,

but he's remembering things.

He says that after he left the caravan,

Ela was still alive.

She was arguing with another girl.

We need to get him out of here now.

This is where we hid from the bastard.

He's got away with it, hasn't he?

He'll never have to answer to anyone now.

I'm sorry.

Look, I'd better go and get you some warm clothes and blankets.

I'll be as quick as I can, right?

Where was he, when he shot himself?

Nina Vaughan's office.
