Since when did you drop out of Honours Maths?

When you were out sick, for weeks.

I caught my Dad sleeping with someone else.

You're gonna have to tell Con eventually, you know?

You actually think you're gonna meet your dream girl!

- Shut up. - That's not true, is it?

Now we can get to know each other, fully.

They're some fucked up family

and they're gonna put us on the hook for everything.

Detectives are keen

to speak to three teenagers from Ireland.

I slept with someone else.

Everything that's happened, it's not your fault, okay?

Oh God!

Go!

Aargh!

At first glance, Ashdale is a typical English village,

but 300 years ago the people of this town sacrificed some of their own

to save Britain from the spread of the plague.

They quarantined themselves,

shutting the town off from the outside world

and though hundreds died,

thousands were saved.

Each year the townspeople march from the parish church

to the old village to commemorate their ancestors' sacrifice,

burning straw dolls on a ceremonial pyre,

symbolising those who died.

Being from Ashdale and embracing that heritage,

it's about playing our part to keep the Devil from the door

And each year they add to the pyre

a symbol of something they wish to purge from the world.

Well, it's the centenary,

so we're keen to make a big statement with our symbol this year.

Something that speaks to society's problems.

With everyone doing their bit,

this is the town that kept out the Black Death

and gave itself life.

Open up!

This is stupid.

Hello? Anybody in there?

There's obviously no one here. It's the middle of the night.

Why's it closed? I thought they'd have people working shifts.

If you were running a huge manhunt for psycho killers,

would you run it out of here?

Okay, well, we'll have to get in somehow.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

What else are we gonna do? If we wait outside, we're sitting ducks.

Yeah, sitting ducks holding a drill.

At least try and hide it, will you?

Yeah, where?

What, in me kacks?

Come on, let's try around the back.

There has to be another door.

You have to find a weak spot.

Okay, just give me a shot, will you?

I know, I know... Billy, I know what I'm doing, come on, give me a shot.

You're not even using the sharp bit!

I just don't wanna break it!

Look, give me the thing, will you...

What?

They're not gonna sweat a window when we show them what we found.

Do we really have to listen to that all night?

Welcome to my world.

Can we not just wake them up?

Oh no, she was very clear on the phone.

No check-in after 10pm.

What time does the station open?

The detectives won't be there until nine, so...

Are you alright?

After earlier?

I-I'm fine.

Hm.

I've been saying the same thing for ten years.

It doesn't make it true, does it?

I knew that...

I knew all along.

I'm not stupid.

The more you know...

...the more you don't want to know.

Get some sleep now, big day ahead.

Everything okay?

Bit of a nasty kerfuffle.

Speak when you're spoken to.

I were...

b-barely there, I-I didn't even see anything.

Joe's out looking.

Suited and booted.

He has his radio.

If anyone sees them anywhere, we'll get them.

What then?

You don't need to worry about that.

That's for the senior members of the family.

Now, say your prayers and get into bed.

Dad?

We need to eat something.

Well, I need a drink.

What are you doing? Don't mess with anything.

There should be something here about those bodies...

I mean, what was that?

They're not gonna leave murder files lying around, are they?

These people are missing. It should be big news, posters, the lot.

There has to be something here.

What are you doing?

999.

We can't wait till morning.

Right.

Have you thought about how you're gonna explain all this?

Emergency. Which service do you require?

Hi, er, hello, yes.

Um, I need the police to come, right away.

Certainly, Sir. What's your emergency?

Er, well, we just need to talk to them.

We'll explain everything when they get here.

- Tell them about the bodies. - So, it's not an emergency.

- Is anyone hurt? - No, we're fine.

But it's very urgent.

Okay. So what's the crime, Sir?

No, you see, we actually haven't committed a crime.

We're totally innocent.

We're in the police station in Ashdale and we just need someone to come.

So, you're in a police station, calling the police

to get them to come to the police station.

Is this a prank?

No, no! We know who the killers are.

We found loads of dead bodies in a slurry pit.

Okay, very funny.

Go sober up and please keep this line free for real emergencies.

No, just send a car, please!

Alright. You'd better not be wasting our time.

Thank you.

We need clear heads when they get here.

Hello, you've reached the Power household. We're not in...

They'd sleep through a nuclear blast.

Do you wanna try your place?

What was it like?

When she left?

I was just confused.

I didn't know what to say to Billy, so...

I didn't say anything.

Can I ask you a personal question?

It's a bit late for that.

Do you find me attractive?

It's... it's just...

Frank never comes near me anymore.

It's-it's as though I'm invisible.

You are a beautiful woman.

I don't think that's the problem

What-what do you think is the problem?

Tell me.

You know, this week has shown me

you two really love your children.

But you do not love each other. Not anymore.

I'm...

Would you just give me one second?

Would you hold on? It's okay.

Maur...

Look, I'm sorry.

- No, it's okay. - I shouldn't have said anything.

No, it's fine.

Do you know, you and me, we should just get off with each other and get even.

He wouldn't even care.

You know that's not true.

You could kiss me right now,

it would not fix even one thing in your life.

It's Baltic in here! I need some heat.

You'll waste the petrol, Frank.

Five minutes, Maureen, that's all I need.

Get in, Abe.

Nothing.

Not one thing.

Five people missing, it should be national news.

Maybe it goes deeper.

Maybe everyone's in on it.

What's that?

It's her, it has to be.

Her name's Kate.

Fangoria Fangirl, she was...

She was the girl that was killed in the woods.

We don't know that.

Maybe you were writing to that mentaller all along.

You could've been on their hook right from the start.

I wasn't.

They took her letters, alright, and then they killed her.

- How do you know? - I just do.

He couldn't have written what she wrote to me, alright?

She genuinely cared about me and now she's gone.

We shouldn't be messing with stuff in here. Put it back.

- What's your problem? - Nothing, we just...

We just don't know anything about her, that's all.

- Go easy on him, yeah? - Why?

She's dead and he's being a dick about it.

That's not fair.

You never told him this whole trip was about her.

And I never...

Nobody's being honest with him.

Go on.

Take some.

What happened to clear heads?

You're not gonna have one in a minute.

What's going on?

A while back, I came home early from school one day and...

Dad was there...

and he was with...

some...

other woman

and they were,

you know...

well, not right in the middle of it, sorry,

er, um...

He told me to keep it a secret.

Said he'd fix it.

He lied about that too.

When?

Around the time I stopped coming out of my room.

Yeah.

That was ‘cause of Dad.

Why are you only telling me this now?

You had months, Zoe,

and you spent most of them acting like I did something to ya.

I know.

I'm sorry.

- Con? - Just leave me alone.

Rise and shine. It's 6am

and we're starting your day the right way...

I didn't mean to... you know?

You're telling the wrong person.

Leave it.

I like this song.

Really?

You actually think you're right about everything, don't you?

What a horrible disease.

Biggest pricks in the world always think they're right about everything.

Don't be one of ‘em, Billy.

I'm so tired.

Of everything.

- Sorry, no that was, I... - I...

No, Jesus! No.

I didn't... Con, that-that wasn't...

Oh, Jesus!

How did I not see?

See what?

You don't have to...

We nearly died, okay? I...

You're obviously more than friends!

What? What? I'm... We're not like...

- I'm not... - No, I'm not saying that you're...

- It's just that Con... - Shut the fuck up, Zoe!

Shit! Sorry, sorry! Forget I said anything...

What the hell was that, Zoe?

I'm sorry.

- I didn't mean to... - To what?

Ruin my life?

I'm really sorry.

You're sorry.

Look, listen. If...

if you are...

then...

it's okay.

Finally.

- It's him. - Who?

That psycho from the cow shed. Come on, quick!

Why did you bring us into the only room with no window?

How was I supposed to know?

You know she's talking shite.

- All that before, she's probably drunk... - Shut up!

You wanna get us killed?

What are you doing here?

I answered the dispatch.

Yeah, sorry.

I were up.

Thought I'd come in early, check it out.

Looks like some jokers broke in.

Messing about.

All gone now.

Okay.

Well, let's get this place cleaned up and file a report.

Big day ahead with the festival.

Oh, and erm, the team are coming down from Chesterfield

after the sightings yesterday.

Do you want some tea and toast?

Er, please.

Milk, two sugars.

No rush.

Oh God.

Come on.

Why is everything spinning?

Because you necked a load of whiskey!

We-we need to stop.

Where are we going?

Don't look at me.

The police station was your big idea.

If he's police...

where does this stop?

I don't know, okay?

I don't know if we're in The Texas Chainsaw or The Wicker Man here.

What?

It's either one fucked up family or a whole fucked up town.

Well, I'm not waiting around to find out.

- Where are you going? - Anywhere but here.

Just keep going.

Come on.

No.

I'm not going with her.

Not after what they did to Kate.

I'm going back to get the tape.

Are you off your head?

No. No, no, no, no, no, I'm finally seeing clearly.

Why are we running?

- We're the ones with the drill. - That doesn't make it a good idea.

That's a stupid, drunken idea!

This is the part in the film where you shout, “ Don't go back! ”

They killed her.

And I'm going to get that tape.

They don't get to win.

I'm not a loser, Con.

Con, come on! I'm not waiting!

Wait, Zoe!

She's going the wrong way.

Is she? Yeah, where the fuck are we?

The quickest way to Chesterfield is back through these woods,

past that shed.

We can run in, we can grab it quickly.

They'll-they'll be out looking for us, so...

Billy...

Billy, don't be stupid.

Billy, stop, you're being mental!

Me?

You're the mentaller!

Your whole family's messed up!

Yeah...

Even you.

Fuck you!

You're dead weight.

I should've came by myself.

Zoe!

Zoe!

Zoe!

This is all your fault!

You're the one who's the weirdo, n-not me.

Zoe!

And I know it's hard to hear this,

but the evidence against them is substantial.

Now when we find them, they're gonna be arrested

and then they're gonna be charged.

Oh, really?

Oh, well, so that's it, is it?

Well, I don't know what else to say.

I mean, thanks for coming all this way

but unless they get in contact somehow, there's not really much you can do.

Just let us do our jobs.

- And what job is this, huh? - Mm.

Because it seems you have been standing around

while everyone else is coming with pitchforks.

Well, I can assure you nothing like that is gonna happen.

They are gonna be arrested and charged

and then given a fair trial by Her Majesty's court.

Hang on a second.

Isn't it supposed to be innocent until proven guilty?

Well, that's for the jury.

All we care about is who we need to arrest,

and right now that is your kids.

Now I know,

I know you probably thought they were little angels, but this,

this is what happens without proper discipline.

- You, see the thing is... - I don't think this is helping them...

Oh, wind your neck in, Lisa!

No one asked you to row in.

Your children are guilty.

Face facts.

They're not who you thought they were.

- What an absolute prick! - Maureen.

Look, about...

yesterday and the um...

You know, do you think we should talk about it?

Oh my God, are you actually serious?

Frank, I can't deal with this now, okay? We'll talk about it later.

Thinks he knows everything. That man has no tact!

Yeah, it's kind of annoying, isn't it?

They're already tried and convicted here.

We need to find them before the police do.

Well, we are going to need a full tank of petrol.

Okay.

Please God, just get me the fuck out of here.

I'm sorry for cursing.

I just wanna go back to being normal.

And I promise I'll be normal.

Fancy a lift, love?

- Hey, hey. - Put it down, son.

So hard to get a reliable battery.

Look,

I don't want any trouble, alright?

I just wanna take my tape and go home.

Those things have poisoned your mind.

You're the one who's fuckin' poisoned.

I read your letters, you know.

What you needed was a good mother.

Don't you dare talk about my mother.

Uh...

Oh...

Oh, Jesus, no.

Zoe?

Poor child...

Zoe!
