Original subtitles

We now have three bodies in three days,

all in bags, at various locations across the city.

What do you want?

Make a note of Dr Sophia Craven.

I think there's something awful underneath all this

that I'm just not privy to.

I had a... a client, a young woman,

Victoria Burkeman.

Victoria is a victim of abuse.

- No. - I'm calling to let you know

about another body.

I just own the farm.

Original owners kept the house.

And their names?

Burkeman.

Our other daughter, she's dead.

Did you abuse your daughter, Mr. Burkeman?

No.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Victoria isn't just your sister.

She's your mother, too.

You murdered all those boys with that game you play.

You and all your friends.

Ben's dead. Carl's dead.

She'll be coming for us next.

- Where is she? - I've no idea.

He said there's a police officer involved.

I think it's Lou.

One, two, three, four.

Detective Inspector Louis Stanley,

I'm arresting you on the offence

of misconduct in public office.

I am dying to hear what it is that you found out

about me, you miserable bitch!

How am I gonna tell Joe?

About Lou, or us?

Can I come over?

Sure.

This is what happens when you love someone, Victoria.

And I will love you...

whether you like it or not.

You don't play tea parties, do you?

It's safe to play tea parties.

Victoria, look at this.

Come on.

My mum has this. It's so nice.

It's so nice.

Becky said she did that with the boy from DeWinters.

She's such a liar.

No one's done that.

You okay?

You girls like anything to drink?

No, thank you.

We have tea.

Dinner's in half an hour.

I won't bring the magazine next time, Victoria.

It's okay.

Did you hear?

Sarah said she saw Mr. Drake jogging this morning.

And when he came back in through the main gate,

Sarah reckons that he fell over cos he was covered in mud.

He's so weird. Apparently...

Jesus!

Okay.

It's me.

Look, sorry to be a... a voice note girlie,

but I thought I should explain why I dined and dashed.

That is not what I meant to say at all, actually.

Er, w-what I meant to say was

why I, you know, why I left without...

Look, basically, I woke up

and I thought I should get back to Joe.

And I was gonna call you.

And I've had a bit of a boo-boo in your kitchen,

to be honest, all right?

For God's sake.

I've dropped a glass,

and I've, er, managed to cut my hand.

And I've left a bit of a crime scene in there.

But, er...

And then I left like a twat.

So I've probably woken you up as well,

because I had to slam the door.

I had a really lovely evening with you.

And, er, if it's not too forward,

I'd like to do it again sometime.

Tomorrow night?

So, I'm...

I'm... I'm sorry again. And, er...

So, thank you.

Saying "thank you" is a bit weird, isn't it,

after, er, sex,

so... I'm... I'm not gonna say "Thank you."

I'm... I'm going to say...

I'm gonna say "Speak soon."

Fuckin' hell.

Why are you on the sofa?

Where were you last night?

I worked late.

We were gonna have our dinner, and you didn't come home.

I worked late, I said.

- It was stuff. - God, are you hurt?

Why are you covered in blood?

I... I, er...

I cut my hand at work.

My God.

It's all right, it's all right. Sorry, I'm fine.

Here.

Cheers.

Mum. Gross.

Jesus. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Hey, Joe, don't say "gross" like that.

That's not nice. Breasts aren't gross.

They're just, you know...

Can I go round Freddie's tonight?

- Yeah, sure. - No.

Okay, then maybe not. Er, tomorrow?

I can't. Uncle Lou's taking me to the game tomorrow.

We'll figure something out.

I'll ask you later when you both stop being insane.

What's going on, Jeanette?

Well, let's see. The...

The time's...

Is that really the time?

Is that...

Don't be unreasonable, okay?

I just need to figure stuff out.

Jesus!

As things stand, Jeanette,

I think I'm being pretty bloody reasonable!

- Ma'am. - Thank you.

I'm not that late, am I?

I've been here half an hour already.

Whoa. Your hand.

- Fuck. - What happened?

I had a disagreement with a kitchen knife, that's all.

Hey...

I feel like maybe you should lay low today.

Lou's pretty popular, so...

"Lay low"?

When all the Burkemans are now either missing or... or dead,

and you want me to lay low?

I don't think so.

Fine. Well, the team will still be down

at the Burkemans' house, if you like.

But I'm gonna keep going with the fights.

I'm gonna see if I can trace

any of the boys' last known movements.

Well, there's evidence of Victoria Burkeman

on that property somewhere. They've not kept nothing.

They've what?

They've...

They've got something, Mike. It's a double negative. It's...

God. Don't worry about it. Crack on.

All right? Thank you.

Hello?

Mr. Dwyer?

Hello?

Okay. Okay.

Hello?

- Jeanette? - Yeah, yeah. Give me a second.

Give me a second.

Jeanette? Jeanette, are you still there?

They're here, Mike.

There's more of them.

The boys.

Fuck me. What a mess.

How are you holding up?

How the fuck did we miss this?

We did a sweep, Jeanette.

Martin Ryan just over there,

Victoria Burkeman's house over there,

and a freezer full of dead boys.

How the fuck did we miss this?

We did everything we could.

Wasn't good enough.

We weren't good enough, Mike.

How many's that?

Four that we can see.

They're heaped on top of one another,

but the team's still photographing the scene,

so it's a bit more than four.

Fuck.

You think you've seen some shit in this job, but... yeah.

First impressions?

What, other than "yikes"?

"Yikes" is an understatement, mate.

Quite. Well, at first glance,

these bodies are consistent with our other victims.

We're already full at the mortuary,

so we need to set up an emergency mortuary here.

I need another couple of pathologists

just to get through them as quickly as possible.

Yeah, I'll get Verity's sign-off.

Yeah, well, all of that is just...

It's just for who we've got in here.

Over there...

Dwyer's not frozen, so I'll do his PM first.

Let's treat him as a separate crime scene.

I will go as fast as I can,

but I am not cutting corners

just because we think we're too clever.

We can take him to the mortuary

as soon as they finish photographing.

- Where will they go? - To be exterminated, Mike.

They've eaten human flesh.

They'll be gassed, I imagine.

Are you vegetarian?

- Me? No. - Then why do you care?

- Are you okay? - Yeah. Never better.

Well, I mean, you're bleedin'. Ri...

Well, I'll be sure to let you and Lou...

and Mike know when I have something.

- Okay. - Jesus, I'm sorry.

Jeanette!

- Yeah. - Jeanette, are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay. I...

I just wish everybody would stop asking me if I'm okay.

So, you know...

Do we know if the boys died here?

No. We haven't searched any of the other barns yet.

Well, come on, let's do that, please.

This country does not care.

Nobody cares.

I want every square inch of this place fingerprinted.

All of it.

Tyre tracks, footprints, all the forensics.

Everyone.

Any single shred of evidence, I want it collected.

- Do we have CCTV? - No.

Fuck, we needed to find this place a week ago

is what we needed.

Victoria was trying to point us to this place.

This is what it wa... This!

Jesus, this!

I need Peter Drake and David White

in protective custody, okay?

While Victoria is out there, those men are in danger.

What about Mary Burkeman? Is she in danger, too?

Is there any trace that she could be here, too?

She would have positioned her body

front and centre if she was dead.

Mary Burkeman's alive somewhere.

She's alive.

Mike!

We're needed back at HQ.

You better keep up. You better keep up.

Keep up, keep up!

Stupid cow.

Er...

A slight shock to the system, I'm sure.

But I'll bet stumbling across a farm of dead bodies trumps it.

Er, yeah, and... and all of this is, er...

A new order.

I don't need to tell you how big this is.

It's bloody enormous, and of national importance.

- So, in come the big guns. - Who?

Me!

You are going to talk me through your findings

ahead of a press conference tomorrow.

You and Mike will stay on the ground.

Your team is doubling.

Mike can assist you indefinitely

while another officer takes his desk.

You have priority status.

Anything I should know?

Yeah. Eva needs to erect

an emergency mortuary at the scene, ma'am.

There's too many bodies to process

and they need doing really quickly.

- Fine. - I'll let Eva know.

Very good.

And on we go.

And on we go.

Fuck it.

No.

Come in.

Harriet, is it?

Yes.

Great. Let me take your coat.

Thank you.

Lovely. And, do take a seat.

Wow. You've got a beautiful office.

Thank you.

You found it all right?

Yes, thank you.

Good. Would you like some water or anything?

- No, thank you. - Okay.

All right.

Now, is there anything in particular

you'd like to discuss with me?

Anywhere you'd like to start?

These sessions, they can be overwhelming to begin with.

Thank you...

Yes, they... they can, rather.

I suppose, well, for the most part,

I'm fine, really. I'm...

I'm fine.

I hadn't really thought

that I needed to, or that I ought to.

Er...

Er...

My daughter died.

She died a very long time ago,

but I never spoke to anyone about it.

And I think I'd like to.

I... I want to...

talk about it...

Well...

They never found her body. But, er...

I know she's dead.

How do you know?

I can feel it.

She's not here.

She disappeared from school.

She was never found. But I...

I know.

May I ask, Harriet, why now?

Something happened.

Not one thing.

Lots of little things, actually, and...

I think I need a place to scream.

Well, you can scream here.

And plenty of people have.

You're very kind.

I shan't...

But there's a bit of me...

in here.

And... and that bit...

that bit hasn't stopped screaming.

I still see her.

My husband sees her, too.

I... I know he does.

And I think he'd rather we...

we stopped.

In your own time, Jeanette, but today would be nice.

I'd like to run through the events of today.

We've now got

one dead male, Vincent Dwyer,

and seven dead young men,

likely to be asylum seekers.

This brings our current known total up to 15.

Peter Drake has agreed to come in for questioning,

but David White's whereabouts is currently unknown.

We have to find him.

Also missing is Mary Burkeman.

We've, er, no proof of life in the last 24 hours, but I...

Given the time and the... the care

that Victoria has taken with the other bodies

and positioning of them, I...

I think if Mary was dead, we would know about it.

And what of Victoria?

Still nothing.

What about the psychologist?

What about her, ma'am?

Did she have any valuable insights?

Yeah, she certainly did, yeah.

Victoria was repeatedly abused

throughout her childhood by her father and by others,

quite possibly Carl Lowry and Vincent Dwyer.

So, she remains our prime suspect in their murders.

- But not the others? - No, not the others.

I've explained... Er...

The PMs have already established

that the boys killed each other.

They were made to fight.

But in the positioning of the bodies,

Victoria has been communicating with us.

She has been indirectly alerting us

to what has been happening.

What's wrong with Crime Stoppers?

You see, she's opera...

She is operating in a very specific way.

It's her way of talking,

and we have just not been listening.

Any forensic evidence from the new scene?

Yes, there's prints, but they're not processed yet.

But, listen to me, please list... listen.

We need to find Victoria and Mary Burkeman.

We... we just...

As a priority, we need to do that.

We... we have to find them. We have to find them.

There you go.

We're... we're waiting for confirmation.

Well done.

If Lou was here, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Let's have a look at it.

You need anything else from me, you let me know.

Thank you.

Absolute joke.

- Jeanette? - Er, sorry, Mike.

Any of you fuckers got anything to say to me,

say it to my face, not muttering behind your hands.

Do you understand?

Good.

Ma'am, have you heard any more about Lou?

You don't half pick your moments, Jeanette...

Please. Please, Verity, please.

He fessed up.

County lines.

Selecting vulnerable young men via that gym

to run his little scheme.

Sleeping with a witness.

Taking bribes.

Need I go on?

Was he involved in these fights?

It... it looks unlikely.

He'll be charged,

and the courts won't like it.

He'll probably end up doing time.

- Well done. - Please.

Answer me truthfully. Are you all right?

No.

But yes.

Aren't we all?

And change that top.

You stink.

Rightio.

She's gone. She's gone.

Victoria.

You don't know.

You don't know.

What... What don't I know?

You can't...

You can't know.

What?

No one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.

For he had often been chained hand and foot.

But he tore the chains apart

and broke the irons on his feet.

No one was strong enough to subdue him.

Night and day among the tombs and in the hills,

he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

When he saw Jesus from a distance,

he ran and fell on his knees in front of him.

He shouted at the top of his voice,

"What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the most high God?

In God's name, don't torture me."

Victoria.

Er, for Jesus had said to him,

"Come out of this man, you impure spirit."

Stop it. Stop it.

But then Jesus asked him,

"What is your name?"

"My name is Legion," he replied.

"For we are... many."

Yes, I can help you.

I can help you.

It's all right.

It's all right.

She's gone.

Who's gone?

Who's gone?

It's not just us, you know.

Jeanette?

What?

Are you okay?

What's happened?

It's been a long day.

Okay.

Can you at least go some way to explaining?

Mum.

Baby boo.

Hi.

Go back to bed, Jo Jo.

I'll come and say goodnight, er, in a bit.

Now.

I love you.

So, you're not gonna tell me what's happened today?

I need a bath. Want a bath.

And then we'll talk, okay?

Hello.

Victoria was here.

She was here.

She broke in and...

Well, she's left, but she was here.

She was here in my office, Jeanette.

Can you come here? Can you come now?

Wait. What did she say? Tell me everything.

How long ago did she leave?

I don't know. I dunno.

Sophia, you need to stay calm.

How long ago did she leave?

Er, I think...

I think about ten minutes ago. I don't know, I...

Okay, don't panic.

She scared me.

She's never scared me before.

She... she's frightened, and she's terrified,

and she scared me this time.

I'm on my way.

Care to explain any of that?

- It's work. - It's work.

It's the psychiatrist.

- She's work! - No, Jeanette!

You need to tell me what's going on, right now!

More people are dead, okay?

And I've just had a sighting of my prime suspect.

We will talk when I get home. Do you understand that?

Jesus!

I... Kaboo.

Kaboo!

Hello, David.

Yeah, I'm listenin'.

Go to BS 7-8 Romeo Bravo,

flat seven, code 1-9-5-9.

Right, er, on my way. I'll wait to hear from you.

Good.

And we need to talk about control.

What is it about control

that you'd like to discuss?

I'd like to play the shopping game.

All right, we can do that, David.

David?

Today, I went to the shop,

and I bought... an egg.

Today, I went to the shop,

and I bought an egg and some bacon.

Today, I went to the shop,

and I bought an egg,

some bacon, and...

a silencer.

It's your turn.

The number you have dialled is not available.

Today, I went to the shop,

and I bought an egg, some bacon, a silencer...

and a tea set.

Thank you for humouring me.

Gary, pass us that spare bit, will you?

That's it. Just take the weight.

Hold it steady.

Just a sec. That's right. Okay.

Now, take the weight of it.

Shit!

They've been bloody clear about where it was to drill.

Now you've botched it right up.

Okay.

Get some multipurpose from the van, right?

What the fuck have you...

- Now... - God.

Now look, it's not that bad, all right?

I did say the tomb may well be empty.

But I was very clear, it must not be disturbed.

It is sacrosanct.

Please, could you just... just step away?

What's up, mate?

What is it? You all right?

Give it here.

Christ, that stinks.

Well?

What's in there, Bo?

Shaun?

Please, could you just let me look?

Can you swim?

It can be fun, you know?

I need this gone.

I need all of this to stop.

Cos at the moment, this just feels endless.

It is death after death after death.

Victoria!

- No! - We believe you are

in imminent danger.

Thank you for the session.
