(GROUP SINGING IN WELSH)

IRENE: We found traces of sodium
hydroxide in Cefin's eyes.

Likely your killer wore
a protective suit and rubber gloves.

My killer?
Most certainly.

James wouldn't speak to me.
Not even his name.

I found one of
your poles at the scene.

You need to stop playing
at being detective now.

For your own sake, alright?

You gotta investigate
both cases Bull.

I know why you don't want
the cases to be linked.

It would make you wrong
about Jackie Ellis's sister.

I know that was a big thing,
when you accused her.

(HEARTBEAT MURMURS)

All this with Cefin
and his accident.

It reminds me of
when Nessa disappeared.

That's why you were in the woods
that day, you were with Cefin?

She wasn't there. No one was.

The woods were empty.

All the Bevan cousins
are fucking lying.

Everything we thought we knew
about Nessa's last moments,

well they're not true are they?

I think there's waste buried
up at the old quarry.

On my dad's land.
Come on then. Get in.

This could be
our primary crime scene.

Boss. How did you find this place?

Co-ordinate with
the Environment Institute.

I've asked them to test the waste
for sodium hydroxide.

I want you to scour
every last inch of this landfill.

We need to know
if Cefin found his way up here.

(SOMBRE DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(CHILDREN CHATTERING)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(HONKING)
Kath!

So you and your family have done
everything correctly so far.

You've listened to
the flood warning,

and you're evacuating.

Now, it can be very scary,

so it's important we learn some
skills to help us all stay calm.

First, we take a slow, deep breath.

Then we pretend like we're blowing
a bubble when we breathe out.

(CHILDREN PLAYING)

We found a hair on Cefin's body
so we want to know if it's James'.

So Cara has agreed to let
you sit in as a teacher.

She thinks it might help,
but it's not your interview, OK?

So if I need your input—
You'll give me a nudge. Got it.

We might not get many more chances
with James so I'm sort of...

sticking my neck out
a little bit here.

Does the Super know I'm in there?

No. Let's keep it that way shall we?

Open wide. There you go.
And one, and two.

There you go, easy.

Now listen, er, whilst we're here,

we were just wondering
if we could er...

ask you a few questions
if you don't mind.

Can you remember where you and Cefin
were after school on Thursday?

It's alright, you're not in trouble.

(SNIFFS)

So you left here,
the two of you at 3:30,

and then you got home at five.

So what we don't know is what
happened in between those hours,

and we were just wondering if you
could share a few details with us.

What d'you reckon? Hmm?

James?

(LOW TENSE STING)

It's quite painful talking
about him isn't it?

But it might help us find out
what happened to him.

Why don't you tell Detective Bull

something that he doesn't
know about him?

Anything. Something silly?

Cefin was having nightmares
and he wanted to make them go away.

You told him how to make them
go away.

Yeah I tried.
He was having these dreams,

and I said to him

that if you faced up to whatever
it is you're afraid of,

that maybe the dreams would stop.

What was he scared of?

The Black Sow.
Huh?

I didn't think it was real,
but he did.

Wait, did you and Cefin- Did you
try and find it or something?

I didn't go. Only Cefin did.

Where- where did he go?
Where was this Black Sow?

James, you need to tell us
where he went. Come on.

James?
I wanna go.

Where was this pig, James?
That's enough, Jackie—

Cara, please, it's important.
Let him tell us.

(LOW, TENSE MUSIC)

D'you remember, at the beach,
when you told me that sometimes

you and Cefin would go and play
at the farm after school.

Is that where he went?
To go and find the sow.

Did he go to Solomon's farm?

Good lad.

(WAVES CRASHING)

(MUSIC ENDS)

So what's this black pig
he was talking about?

It's an old Halloween myth.

It's not Halloween.

It comes out at night, hunts and
it captures the last kid standing.

Bit old for fairytales, in't they?

Anyway, look,
at least we've got a location now.

Have they found anything
at the quarry? Like his wellies?

Cefin's wellies. No?
No.

Look, um... Cefin's family.
They won't want to be questioned.

So tread carefully.

Likewise, when you speak
to the cousins.

Yeah.
Good. Thank you.

(KNOCKING)

Hey Jim. Alright.
No, don't drink it, don't use it.

There's a boil water order.

What's this about the water?

Precautionary measure,
they're saying.

Until they test for contamination.

There's a landfill's
been uncovered down at the farm.

There isn't a landfill at the farm.
Not that we know of?

It's at the old quarry apparently.

I'll call my dad.

(DOG BARKING)

Officers?

Ned Bevan?

Bryn. That's Ned.

We were just wondering if we could
have a quick word, if that's OK.

Is your father around too?

He's about. Why?
Is this about Cefin?

(SPEAKS WELSH)

What's all this got to do
with Cefin?

You were both working on Thursday,
were you?

At the farm, is that correct?
Yeah.

Yeah?

We need to speak to everyone
that was here that day.

You won't find any culprits here.

(SPEAKS WELSH)

Culprits, Mr Bevan?

Yes, whoever's responsible
for dumping their muck on my land.

Er no we're just here to talk about-

What about Cefin?

Well, Mr Bevan,
we've got reason to believe

that after school on Thursday,

Cefin came up to the farm to visit.

Ah well, you'd be misinformed.

Because he didn't say hello
to his Taid did he?

Eh? Every time he comes here,
he says hello to me.

So, he wasn't here.

Well, regardless,
we just wanna speak to everyone,

including yourself who was working
on the farm that day.

Do you have any idea
what this family is going through?

Do you?

We just want everything
to be normal. Alright?

And we just wanna locate
a crime scene.

Well you won't find it here
will you?

Doesn't matter how many of you
buggers are crawling over my land.

Listen, listen to me now, listen.

If you don't co-operate,

then we have far less friendly ways
of going about this.

Alright, alright,
put the handcuffs on me then, eh?

Come on!

Dad.
Eh?

Dad!
Eh?!

Dad.
You bugger!

I wanna know what each and every one
of them was doing that day.

Did you see the gloves?
Heavy-duty protective wear.

Just like the pathology report.
Yeah.

Oi!

This er...

This waste nonsense,
how long is it gonna take?

Well I'll let the Environment
Institute fill you in on that.

Why? Are you worried it
might impede on business?

Are finances a bit tight
at the farm at the moment?

Finances are fine, thank you.

You're not involved in any er...
illicit business ventures, then, no?

Cefin could've come and gone
and we'd have never known.

It's a big place.

One man we haven't spoken to is
August Antonov. Your farmhand.

He isn't working today.

(KNOCKING)

Is there anywhere else he could be?

Dunno. Pub?

OK. Cheers.

I'll stay and ask around here, Boss.

OK.

(LOW, TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Hello?
Hi Carys-

(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Hiya.

Hiya.

Taking a little break from
crime-solving are we, detective?

Are you August Antonov?
Yes?

Yeah? I wondered if we could have
a quick word, in private,

if you don't mind?

No?

OK, we'll do it here that's fine.

So I understand that you've been
working at Solomon's farm?

You've been employed there for the
last four years. Is that correct?

No... Sorry, no English.

No English? OK.

In your time working there,
did you ever come across...

Cefin Hill.

Hmm? Did you ever see him
there at the quarry?

No English.

I think you understand perfectly
well what I'm saying, come 'ere.

Now listen to me.

I can make things very difficult
for you.

I mean that.

I've come to reassure everyone
about the rubbish

in the old quarry.

We're doing everything we can to um,
clear it up.

And what if it's in the water?
Your rubbish?

It's not our rubbish.

We had nothing to do with it,
we didn't even know it was there.

It's outsiders coming here,

sticking their noses
into our business.

Stirring up trouble.

C'mon.

(RAIN PATTERS)

Excuse me.

DC Deng.

Victor Antonov.

Um, the man that lives
in the caravan over there,

August Antonov,
is he a relative of yours?

Why?

I'd just like to have
a word with him.

Always some problem with my cousin.

Problem? What kind of problem?

It's been a long day, I'm sorry.

Um, August,
he- he wanted to come forward

about Nessa Taman's disappearance.

Do you know anything about that?

He would not tell me about this.

What's his relationship
with the Bevan family like?

They treat him very well,
you know? These Bevan lot.

Very generous people.
I wish I worked for them.

And yet he complains all the time.

He isn't happy working at the farm?

He's ungrateful.

When you say "generous" um...
How generous are we talking?

Put it this way, I send back money
to my family, it is never enough.

August sends money back to family,

they buy a brand new
fucking kitchen.

(LOW, TENSE MUSIC)

(ENGINE REVS)

Eddie!

Eddie!

I need to talk to you!

(ENGINES REV)

I wanna talk to you!

Look, I know it was a long time ago,

but I need to ask you something
about the day Nessa disappeared.

You're not a police officer anymore,
Jackie.

Alright, no problem.

I'll er, just ask one of
my former colleagues to bring you

into the station, shall I?
You can talk to him.

There's nothing more
to say is there?

We were playing
in the woods that day.

But you weren't though, were you?

I think you were somewhere else.

We were playing in the woods.
Like we said.

You're up, Alf.
Yep.

See I spoke to Kieran Benbow, Eddie.

You see he was
in the woods that day.

And he says he didn't see
anybody there.

Well he must be wrong.

Right what's going on here then?
Kath not with you today?

Look, why are you here, Jackie?

You're asking us about Nessa, but
Cefin's murderer is still out there.

Look I know she was your niece.

But we're not the bad guys.

(SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I can't help you.

The day Nessa disappeared,
I know that you guys weren't...

You weren't in the woods.

Kathie, I'm not here
as a police officer, OK?

But I am here as your friend.

You told me that Cefin's death
made you feel guilty.

Why?

Was it something to do with Nessa?

Fine.

Fine. We weren't in the woods
that day. OK?

Is that what you wanna hear?
OK. Well I wanna hear the truth.

We were playing on
an old tractor near the quarry.

I wanted to say something, Jackie,
really I did.

Everything with Cefin it...

...put things into perspective,
y'know.

So you were at the tractor,
the six of you with Nessa and—

And we used to...

...mess with her.

Mess with her?

Dare her to do things
that we know she didn't wanna do.

And 'cause she wanted to fit in,
she'd go along with it.

I was, well, we thought it was funny
at the time but it was cruel.

It was, I know.

I'm sorry, Jackie.

Anyway, Nessa said she was gonna
tell our parents about it.

And so, er, we...

We...

We threatened her.

And it- it didn't mean anything,
we weren't serious—

Threatened her how?

You threatened her how?

To hurt her.

And I promise...
I promise you, we didn't.

Jackie... we just left her alone,
y'know? And then...

And then she was just gone.

(LOW, TENSE MUSIC)

You need to take me right now
to the spot where you last saw her.

Right now.
OK.

(LOW, TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Er we- we used to be able to
jumpstart this with a screwdriver.

I'm sorry I lied.
(MUSIC FADES, ENDS)

Which way did she go
after you left her?

We didn't stick around. Sorry.

I heard the police have been all
over the farm...

...asking questions about Cefin.

Kathie...

Jackie we'd never hurt
one of our own.

He wasn't there that day.
We'd have heard from him.

He'd have said something.

Well you know the police can
only work with what they have.

James said Cefin was
at the farm that day.

James said...?

(SIGHS) Kids lie, Jackie.

We lie.

(LOW, TENSE MUSIC)

(OMINOUS STING)

What does that look like to you?

I don't know.

I thought it was a beekeeper suit,
but what if I'm wrong?

What if it's a hazmat suit?

What if I've been joining
all the wrong dots?

What dots?

Did Nessa ever say anything to you
about playing in the old quarry?

About the waste? Anything!

I know that it is hard to talk
about her, she was your niece,

you loved her.
Did she say anything-

No, she didn't say anything
like that to me.

Well could you ask your brother?

Jackie, they might not want
to be disturbed by this.

No, I know it's disturbing,
but it's important, isn't it?

Look, we all put this behind us
for a reason.

Yeah, I found Cefin. I found him.

I can't put it behind me.
I know. I know.

But it doesn't mean you have to drag
up everything to do with Nessa.

It might not have anything
to do with her.

This isn't your responsibility
anymore, Jack.

- Right.
- I'm sorry, but don't
you remember what it was like?

You were sat right here,
in tears...

...drunk...

...desperate for a way out,

anything to stop thinking about
the case, to- to be able to grieve.

I stuck my neck out for you
and got you that teaching job.

Please don't undo
all of our hard work.

(GRUNTS)

You OK?

(MUSIC FADES, ENDS)

Are you sure you didn't get
a look at their faces?

And they didn't say anything to you?

Er, no. I think they were looking
for something, I dunno.

Is there any tension between you
and anyone in the town

that you can think of, maybe?

I mean, it is my job to tell them
it's not safe to live here.

I tell them not to drink
their own water, so...

It's just one of your measuring
poles was found at the crime scene.

People are looking for a scapegoat.

What? You mean Cefin?

They think that I... What?
Had something to do with that?

Perhaps.

How could they think that I...

How could they think that I could
do something like that?

Hang on do...

What... Do you think I did it?

I think you've got a solid alibi —
No, no, not as a detective now OK?

As an actual human being.

Do you think that I am capable
of doing something like that?

Look, if there's still rumours
flying around,

then there is a chance,
that they could come back tonight.

So have you got anywhere else
you could stay?

Er...

No I... no.

Not really, no.
OK.Yeah.

No visitors after hours.

I know hanky-panky when I see it.

He'd like a room please.

(DOOR LOCKS BEEP)

What was he scared of?

The black sow.
Huh?

I didn't think it was real,
but he did.

(KNOCKING)
Hey, did you and Cefin,

did you try and find it
or something?

I didn't go.

Jackie's downstairs.

How could I... How did I not know?

That they were lying about Nessa?

I can follow it up.

Or I can stay out of it.

But with Nessa last seen at the
quarry can't we link the cases?

There's no evidence
that Cefin was there yet.

All I ask is that you leave
the detective work to me,

that's all.

And you should look after
yourself now, anyway.

Given you're—

How do you know?

It's the way you hold yourself.

How you've been moving.

It's in the details.

Well no one else around here
has spotted it, so—

I'm the only one who knows?

Oh Jackie.

What about the father?
Does he know?

Bloody 'ell.

Look I don't want
to keep interrogating, but-

You're not gonna get a
name out of me.

Oh he's not much of a catch
is he then, this fella?

Listen, I think it's less about
the father, anyway innit?

It's more about the mother.

I know you.

You're doubting yourself.

Well I don't exactly have
the best track record

when it comes to protecting kids.

Yeah, alright.
Self-pity doesn't suit you.

It's true.

You didn't fail those kids.

And you're not gonna fail this one.

You should tell the father though,
before he guesses.

Everyone deserves a chance.

Goodnight, Jackie.

(MUFFLED WEATHER REPORT)

Storm Alvin looks likely to hit the
Western coast of Europe

in the next 48 hours,

bringing heavy outbreaks of rain
and hurricane level winds.

Wind speeds over the Atlantic
are currently 80-90mph

and they could build in power
over the coming days,

causing widespread disruption
to Western coastlines.

The storm is pushing low pressure
systems across the UK and Wales,

causing temperature fluctuations,
high winds

and disrupted weather patterns.

These will increase in the coming
days and storm warnings

are likely to go out in coastal
areas as wind speeds rise...

How's your eye?

Stings.

Weather's all over the place.

Clear skies one minute,
snow the next.

Never a good sign.

Hi Miss.
Hi, Gryff.

Go inside now please.

It's definitely Nessa?

I mean,
she's been there three years...

...and we're still waiting for
confirmation from the lab but yeah,

we can say with some confidence
it's her. Yeah.

Does Lydia know?

She does, yeah. We told her
this morning, first thing.

Her and Devnand.

Did you apologise to her?

I just had to inform her, y'know.

All this time, she's been buried
under that landfill.

She was, yeah. Yeah.

Why didn't we find her?

She's been right there.

Three years she's been there.

Listen, I know it might not
seem like it now-

She's only small.

She was only small.

Listen, this is the worst thing
in the world,

and it might not be what you-
Fuck!

(MUFFLED SCHOOL AMBIENCE)

Eric?

Hey. I just heard about Nessa.
I'm so, so sorry.

I know you're probably busy but—

Yeah, no, I've not arrested anyone

in connection
with your break-in yet-

Oh no that's not what I came
to talk to you about.

OK, if you wanna talk about...

...You and I. I don't like talking
about one-night stands.

They happen. It's fine.
Can we just...

Can we just leave it at that?
Is that OK?

Er, it's- it's about the er,
the landfill.

Yeah, you asked me to determine
how long ago

the waste had been down there?
I did, I did, yeah.

And from what I've seen so far,

I don't think this place
has been touched in years.

What about the contaminants?
And the er...

'Cause there was like,
there was like the red stuff-

That's leachate.
Ah, OK.

That's called, it's er scrap iron,
other material that contaminates

the water and then
it filters through the soil.

Uh-huh.
And er...

We haven't found sodium hydroxide.

OK.
Right. Yeah, well er-

Thank you.

With no sodium hydroxide confirmed
at the landfill,

we have to pursue the idea
that he was drowned

somewhere other than the quarry.

Perhaps there's another waste site?

I'll speak to August Antonov.

I think he's being paid
for his silence.

He may know more than he's saying.

What is it?

We've got two deaths,
three years apart,

and both of them can be traced back
to the illegal dumping

of industrial waste.

We have to acknowledge
the connection between the two.

And we have no choice but to pursue
both cases as one investigation.

OK?
OK. Er well...

I'll request the station
send over everything else

they have on the Nessa Taman case.
Do that, yeah, thank you.

Um, the mother... Lydia.

I know she wasn't prosecuted,

but is she still a suspect
or have you closed that door?

I mean as much as anyone can, yeah.

Insufficient evidence.

How did she take the news
this morning?

As you would expect, y'know?

Especially given
I was the one who told her.

And you?

Are you doing OK?

I just got an email from the lab.

The hair found on Cefin's body,

it's only a "partial match"
for James.

It's a male relative.

And James's only male relative
in Morfa is his uncle.

Dylan Rees.

(VOMITS, SPITS)

(TOILET FLUSHES)

Well, if Dylan's home tonight
then I'll take a sample from him.

And we can get it
to the lab tomorrow.

Can I help?

I'm here to confess.
