Original subtitles

Hiya.

Well, I fancied a day out in Leeds meself, so...

What's going on, Clare?

Why is everybody pretending you're going to Leeds

when you're not? You're in Sheffield.

I know where they are.

I saw 'em go in.

Saw you drop them off.

I don't go in with them.

Once you did.

Once I did.

Why don't we just start at t'beginning?

Well, no, you could skip the bit where our Becky

hanged herself because of what he did to her.

And the bit where Ann Gallagher was abducted, terrorised

and raped for the best part of a week,

thinking she was going to die.

And the bit where Kirsten McAskill,

sweet little Kirsten McAskill,

had a car driven back and forth over her till her innards

burst out of every orifice in her body.

And the bit where I nearly died in hospital

having me spleen removed.

Yeah.

Why don't we skip all that guff and just cut to the chase?

How you doing?

I'm all right, thanks. How's yourself?

Yeah.

Good, good.

Yeah.

Hey.

Do you wanna get tea and biscuits, Neil?

Yeah, yeah.

Have you had a good week, then, buddy?

He's been writing to him since he were ten.

Ten?

That...Frances, Cicely, Cecily,

whatever her name ended up being,

gave him his address at Gravesend.

And he wrote. Ryan did.

And he didn't hear owt back for long enough,

but he kept writing.

Then when he...

...moved up here, which as far as I understand

were a complete fluke, I don't think he asked to be moved,

he managed to get a message to Ryan.

How'?

We think somebody he'd been inside with.

- Oh, do we? - Somebody...

A man handed him an envelope outside t'school gates.

This were...don't know, 18 months ago?

How did he know which school he was at?

I've no idea.

We've no idea who he was. Ryan doesn't.

- He's never seen him since. -Jesus.

Anyway, this note with his new address at this prison here.

And in the note, he said he'd had all of Ryan's letters,

everything he'd ever sent, but he'd never answered him

because he couldn't, short of sending it to your house,

which obviously wasn't going to happen.

And Ryan knew, he understood it were impossible.

So he'd given up ever expecting anything back.

But then, after all that time...

...he got this note asking him to visit him.

- So... - So you took him?

No!

I knew nowt about it.

He asked Neil if he'd help him,

and I think Neil thought...

I don't know.

You know how persuasive

- Ryan can be. - I know how soft Neil is.

Anyway, after the first time,

Neil were worried he'd done the wrong thing, so...

...he told me. And I were t'same as you -

amazed, appalled.

And I told him, I said, "This has got to stop."

But then Ryan got difficult and angry and upset.

And...the thing is, you see,

he doesn't really know a lot of what...

He didn't live through it like we did

because we kept it from him, as much as we could.

He doesn't really know what happened to Kirsten.

- He does. - He doesn't.

He knows that she died in appalling circumstances.

He does. He definitely knows that.

He doesn't really know about what happened with Ann.

Do you really think he don't Google stuff?

And he also knows that I was in hospital for weeks

because of what he did to me.

He doesn't really know about what happened...

...with his mother.

Because he's never been told.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

Because I were frightened

because of the way it affects you.

I kept saying I wasn't comfortable

or happy with it and that you'd go mad, but...

It's a really easy conversation, Clare.

You go, "There's a lot you don't understand

"and I hope you never have to. But please,

"please trust me when I say that the answer is no, no, no.

"You do not want to go visiting that deranged,

"murdering, subhuman piece of excrement."

I know, but you know...

...he is his dad.

He's not his dad.

Don't you start calling him his dad.

Biologically, he is.

And he's curious.

Who wouldn't be? He's growing up.

He wants to know things

- about himself. - God, this is mad, Clare.

He's been writing to him since he was ten.

It in't going to go away.

And it's only something he'd do anyway soon enough,

when he's old enough.

You're just weak.

And naive.

Well, obviously - that's why he came to you.

Cos nobody else would have done it.

I'm amazed you have.

The one time I went in...

...the second time he visited him,

I wanted to see what were going on,

what he wanted, what he were after.

And I think if I detected anything off-kilter,

I'm fairly certain I would have told you.

But I didn't.

There were nothing.

It were like they did just want to get to know each other.

And it's what the courts would let him do anyway.

You know that.

He genuinely seemed thrilled to see him

and genuinely seemed to want to

- just get to know him. - No, Clare. This is a fella...

...who poured petrol over him

and tried to set fire to him.

Yeah, but he didn't.

Yeah, because we stopped him.

Well, he were in a very bad place when he did that.

For fuck's sake!

He would have killed himself as well if he'd had done it.

He weren't going to come out of there laughing, was he?

Are you seriously trying to excuse the shit-pot?

Look, I never asked to be in this position

and I've had to try and make sense of it as best I could.

Ah. You never were overly bright, were you, Clare?

Can I just try and say what I'm trying to say, and why

it wasn't just as simple as

coming to tell you what was going on?

Oh, whatever.

But I am going to have to interrupt

if you're going to keep talking shit.

What if seeing Ryan having a good relationship

with someone he clearly thinks a lot of,

who has been brought up well...

What if seeing someone who comes from a normal world

makes this...

...monster understand something

about trying to be a better person?

What if this is the one good thing,

the one good, simple relationship

that he's never had before,

that makes a difference? What if through this,

because of this, it got to a point where Tommy...

- Oh, "Tommy". - ...understood enough

about how abnormal his behaviour's been?

And what if he got to a place where he wanted to be different

and he wanted to be forgiven?

And if that happened, if,

and if you could forgive him...

...wouldn't that be better?

For you more than anyone.

And I mean, it's not like he'll ever get out of there, is it?

He will die in there, and he should. He should.

Of course he should.

But if there were a way of finding some...

."peace".

...wouldn't that be something?

And maybe...

I don't know. Maybe this is where it starts.

Has he given you any indication that he wants to be forgiven?

- No. - No.

No. And he won't, Clare,

because some people are just too far beyond the pale.

And you know...

...it's not even his fault.

He was born this way, with this...this kink,

this...this absence, and, yeah, certainly

being brought up by a heroin addict didn't help.

And that's why we throw away the key.

I tell you what.

Here's the deal.

When he asks me to forgive him...

...I Will.

How about that?

It won't happen.

He's a narcissist, he's a psychopath.

I can tell you for a fact that it won't happen.

And have you considered,

whilst Ryan's having this marvellous effect on him,

what the effect on Ryan is

going into a place like that? A Cat A prison

full of the worst, most damaged,

most sick people on Earth?

He's young, he's impressionable.

He shouldn't even have to

think about people like that at his age,

and I have done my damnedest

to keep him away from any of it.

And you have just...

You have just...

...blithely let him go in there.

There were nothing blithe about it.

He wanted to go in there.

Why did you only go in once?

Because I didn't like it.

Yeah.

But you let him go in.

I wasn't the one who wanted to see him.

I am not going to fall out with you, Catherine.

Is it your choice?

Nobody means more to me than you do, you know that.

Just tell that Neil

that I'll deal with him when I see him.

Stupid bitch.

Fucking hell.

Fucking...

Time's up!

Hey, you know I'm going to be in Leeds?

- When? - This Tuesday.

I pleaded guilty to this...thing.

I didn't do owt, but I were there, so...

...anyway, I'll be in court in Leeds.

You should come and see me if you like.

You could sit in

- the visitors' gallery. - Can we?

Yeah. Yeah...

Yeah.

Oh, no, it's Tuesday. I'll be in school.

Yeah - see if you can get a day off, then, eh?

Hey, and stick up for yourself wi' this Hepworth.

He sounds like a dick.

Yeah. I think things might be better now.

You, keep an eye on him.

Think Catherine's got that covered.

Who?

Sorry.

Come on.

Ta-ta.

Yeah, see ya.

Hey, how was your skydiving?

Oh, my God. It was immense.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Oh, I want to do that.

One day, eh? You and me. Bungee jumping!

- That's what I want to do. - Do ya?

Yeah, we'll do it. That's what we'll do.

Yeah. You coming, Neil?

No, I'm past all that.

I'll come and watch, though, and take some pictures.

It's a date.

See ya.

Dad.

Why do you think he says stuff like that?

We aren't going bungee jumping.

Even if he got parole, which he won't...

...by the time he got out, he'd be, like, 80.

And I'd be, like, 6O or something.

You know, perhaps when you're in for life...

Perhaps you need to use a bit of...self-kidology, eh?

Keep yourself going.

Oh, here she is.

Come on.

She knows.

What?

She knows.

Aah!

What are you doing?!

I just wanted to say...

...I think you should do what you said.

I think you - we - should...

...you know.

Send him on his way.

Are you around Monday lunchtime?

I had this idea that I'd try and tell him the truth,

or a version of it, when he was 18.

I thought let him have his birthday,

give it a week, and then...

...tell him that his mother didn't die in childbirth.

But then be very clear...

...about the fact that his...

...that his da...

That his dad...

...is not someone he should feel under any obligation

to get to know.

And then let him make the choice.

But be clear, if he did choose to get to know him,

that that would have to be it

as far as him and me were concerned, because...

...for them to have any kind of a relationship

after what happened to Becky...

...would be so repugnant to me

that it isn't something I'd be prepared to live with.

But it's happened.

They are having some kind of relationship

and I didn't know a damn thing about it.

And it sounds like they get on like house on fire.

So...

Ten years old.

All this time you think you know someone,

you live with someone.

God, I must be slow.

The fact that he never mentioned him

should have rung alarm bells, but...

...instead I just allowed myself to think

that he didn't even think about him any more.

That he kind of got it.

And there's me thinking Clare's the naive one, bloody hell.

Clare should have told you.

He's going to have to go and live there with them.

Not having him here.

I'm sorry.

What?

I'm sorry I left you on your own to deal with it...

...when she died.

Can't imagine why I did that now.

What a coward.

We both did what we had to do.

I think we both probably went a bit mad.

I think the only way to cope with something like that

is to go a bit mad for a while.

- You all right? - Should've told her.

You should have told me before you took him that first time.

What are you going to say when she asks? Cos she will.

Same as I told you.

Felt sorry for him.

And if I didn't take him, who would?

It's what he wanted, Clare.

Ryan, come on, love, it's ready. Turn that off.

Where is he?

Ryan!

Come on.

Better face the music sooner rather than later.

I'm sorry, Catherine. He should never have taken him,

and I should have come and told you,

- and we shouldn't... - Yeah, but you did, so...

Him? Neil? Whatever. But you?

Fuck.

What have you brought that for?

So obviously you knew this was a problem,

which is why you haven't told me about it.

- You're not chucking me out. - I brought your pyjamas

and a toothbrush and a sleeping bag

and I think it might be best if you stay here

- a few nights. - What about my games?

Can I have two minutes with him?

So obviously this is all my fault

for not addressing things more clearly with you.

I thought in some ways I had, but...

Perhaps I thought you'd picked up on

more than you have, but maybe not.

- So... - I need my gaming things.

Yeah, I'll get your games tomorrow.

Not trailing back and forth again tonight.

It's only round the corner.

- I'll come and get it. - There are things you need

to understand so that your decision to visit...

...to keep visiting him, if that's your plan,

is as informed

- as it can be. - I don't wanna talk about it.

No, neither do I, so I'll be brief.

So the first thing to be clear about

is that the way this man is who you're choosing to visit

isn't necessarily hereditary.

All right? Do you know what that means?

- Hereditary? - Yeah.

Tell me what you think

- it means. - Why?

So I know you know what I'm talking about.

It's like what you inherit,

like genes from your parents.

- Right. - And grandparents.

Yeah.

So...yeah, some things you inherit, some things not.

So he has a kink in his brain.

A twist.

A psychological...

...deformity.

It's an absence of something that allows him to...

...possibly seem quite normal to you,

but it allows him to do things -

evil things, nasty things,

things that normal people just wouldn't do,

things that he's ended up in prison for.

For ever.

Now, you don't have that kink, that absence.

You have a normal brain.

Yeah, I know.

- You are not evil. - Yes!

And... Yeah, don't speak to me like that.

So what you have to understand is...

You know my tea's going cold?

- What you having? - Stew.

That'll be all right. What you have to understand...

I'm not a weirdo. Neil's explained all this.

- Has he? - Kind of.

All right.

OK. Well, good.

OK.

So what you also have to understand is...

...is that he wasn't very nice to your mum.

Has Neil told you that?

- No. - OK.

So when your mum died...

...it broke my heart.

And I can't tell you why or how,

you're just going to have to trust me,

but it was his fault.

How? Did he kill her?

- No. - How, then?

Well, it's complicated, and like I said,

you're gonna have to trust me. But this is how serious it is.

If you continue to visit him,

if you continue to choose to visit him...

...you can't live with me.

Why?

I thought she died giving birth to me.

Well, it was just after.

How was it his fault, then?

I've said all I can say.

- No, tell me! - I've asked you to trust me.

Everything I do, everything I've ever done

is in your best interests.

I don't want you to keep visiting him.

And if you do want to keep visiting him,

you're gonna have to live here with these two.

Did she kill herself?

But he loved her. He's told me.

- I've got to go now. - So why would she?

People who love people

don't treat people the way he treated her.

So did she? Kill herself?

I can't live here. It's tiny.

Dwell on it.

What a. . fucking mess.

So why has Neil

taken it upon himself to do that?

Who knows?

Because he's an odd bod.

He had limited access to his own kids after his divorce

because of the drinking.

So my mum thinks it might be summat to do with that, but...

...you know, they were kids

that he'd had a relationship with

for the first 14 or 15 years of their lives.

And Clare?

How is your mum?

Bewildered.

The mad thing is, though,

even if she did get a court order,

they'd probably think it was a good thing,

you know, for him to have a relationship with his dad.

Is she all right?

Anything to do with that evil piece of...

...dirt just stirs it all up for her again, you know?

Aye-aye.

I thought you'd stopped.

Yeah, well, I haven't.

I love you.

I know.

And he can't touch you.

He will die in there.

It's just...

...anything to do with him, it's like...

Just“

...fucks me up.

I know. I know.

I know.

I start my attachment to CID tomorrow.

You are, are you?

I put in an application months ago.

I did tell you.

Very good.

Good for you.

- Yeah! - Yeah.

- Yeah? - Yeah!

Just shit timing.

Come and live round ours.

- Your mum doesn't like me. - She does.

She'll be fine. She'll be thrilled.

You can have my bed. I'll sleep on t'floor.

You can't be doing with dogs barking and babies crying.

Not when you've got your GCSEs coming up.

You'll go crazy.

What are babies for, even? They just cry

and shit. You should have knocked on t'wall.

I'd have knocked on t'wall.

No bloody way.

What? The bi-atch.

- Leave it. It's fine. - "But he is homeless."

- I put homeless in capitals. - I'm not homeless!

And an exclamation mark.

A one-bedroom flat with a couple of alcoholics?

I think you are.

- Recovering alcoholics... - Cawood!

Ryan.

- You all right, lad? - Yeah.

Just to say, you played very well on Saturday.

I'm glad we've cleared the air.

Did you win?

No, but Ryan made some very respectable saves.

- What's the matter? - "Tell him,

"whatever the hell he's done, to apologise to his granny."

He's had a bust-up with his granny, so he's gone

to live with his Auntie Clare and she's a bit...flaky.

What was it about?

- His dad. - Me dad.

- Didn't know you had a dad. - He's in prison.

Do you, er, want to talk about it?

To someone? Could help.

It doesn't have to be me. Or...

Well, it could be.

Be good to talk.

Wish me luck, Dad!

- Why? What are you doing? - Science test!

She's talked about nowt else since last night.

Oh, sorry. Yes. Good luck.

And don't say nowt! Say nothing.

- Big day. - Big day in Toy Town.

- Shut your mouth. - Oi, oi, oi!

- Tell her, Dad! - Just do your best.

Thanks for driving us in again, Dad.

See ya.

You don't need to bust a gut, is all I'm saying.

They'll only pay for one of us to get through

medical school, and it won't be you.

You'll be cleaning toilets,

- so why bother? - No, I won't!

It's what happened to him.

See ya!

Grandma and Grandad paid for Uncle Maruf

to do seven years at medical school.

He had to pay for himself,

so he could only afford to study pharmacy for four years.

That's why he's got such a massive chip on his shoulder.

I kind of knew.

Kind of worked it out.

But then me Auntie Clare told me,

- cos I made her. - And do you know why

your mum did that?

They were, like, seeing each other.

And my dad says he loved her, and I think he did,

in his own way.

But I think it was, you know...

...an abusive relationship.

So me granny blames him when she gets upset.

Like when we visit me mum, up in Heptonstall.

You visit your mum?

- Where she's buried. - Ah.

I'm sorry if I've been hard on you.

I didn't realise you had all this to contend with.

I haven't normally.

She's found out I've been going to see him

so she's flipped her lid.

How would you feel if you did have to stop visiting him?

Bad.

Family life is often difficult to negotiate,

even when it's not as complicated as yours.

My marriage...

...isn't a happy one.

Isn't it?

We all have our crosses to bear.

But I want you to know the door's always open.

All right?

Better get on.

The dead woman is Danielle Womersley.

She's 28 years old,

and what seems to have happened

is that she fell from the window

trying to escape from the flat,

or possibly trying to take her own life.

She's registered blind.

No family's been identified, but there is a boyfriend,

and he was in the flat

when she was trying to climb out of the window.

The room that she was escaping from was locked,

and CCTV shows a man leaving the flat,

possibly when he's realised

that she was taking a dive out of the window.

Now he doesn't go and check on her.

He don't call for an ambulance.

He leaves the flat carrying these two rucksacks

and he drives off to an address in Queensbury in this Toyota.

Do we know what's in the rucksacks?

Cash? Socks? His toothbrush?

Well, given the amount of cash that was found at the address,

upwards of 40 grand, then,yeah,

it's possible he was trying to move as much cash as he can

as fast as he can when he's realised

that things aren't going to plan.

Now, the Toyota is registered to a Josip Matic

at an address in Queensbury.

H-MET have got obs on an address in Queensbury -

not his registered address, but we've had other intel

and we know he's in there.

It's a street we're all familiar with,

so I've alerted uniform

that we might need some assistance with the arrest,

which we're going to move on sometime later this morning.

Two other males were seen

coming and going from the Elland flat the previous week

and the same two males the week before that,

so they need to be ID'd as a priority.

"In light of recent incidents, sightings and happenings

"across the Yorkshire and Humberside area,

"the Home Office has deemed it necessary

"to appoint in each division

"one constable as a dedicated...

"...alien life-form liaison officer."

- Serious? - A what?

An alien life-form

- liaison officer. - Is that a joke?

Do I look like a comedian?

- No, Sarge. - No. And just to be clear,

I think they're taking the piss

when we're so short-staffed, but who am I to question

the wisdom of the Home Secretary?

"If anyone is interested,

"the successful applicant must have completed

"their probationary period

"and must demonstrate an interest

"in unexplained aerial phenomena in the locality."

There are application forms here, if anyone is interested.

I'll have a look.

This is right up my street, Sarge.

Is it? Very good.

Did you hear what happened to me yesterday?

- I did, yes. - So,

there must have been other sightings as well

in the Yorkshire and Humberside area.

That's, yeah, the inference.

Wow. Me nan's always said there's more

between Heaven and Earth than any of us ever know about.

Well, I'm sure she's right.

Meanwhile, back on Earth...

- Wow! - ...CID have requested

assistance with an arrest at an address up Queensbury

later this morning to do with that dead girl down in Elland.

Mrs Bhuppal.

There'll be a briefing upstairs round about eleven o'clock.

I'll say it now and I'll say it again before we leave.

Please, please remember your PPE. Mrs Bhuppal,

what did I just say?

PPE, Sarge.

Fuck off.

That bad, eh'?

CID?

So...last night...

...I drank too much.

Why?

Because of all this about Ryan.

And then this morning,

that girl who fell out the window in Elland.

She was blind and she had got no family

and she thought this bloke were her boyfriend

and they was just using her,

using her flat to stash their filthy, shitty money in.

And then t'penny must have dropped what was going on,

so they held her hostage in her own flat

for two or three weeks, by the sound of things.

And sounded like she...

Sounded like she was just trying to escape

when she fell, so...

Do you want to go home?

I have this thing I get...

...in here,

and stuff like this with Ryan,

it triggers it.

It's like...

...when they took me into that garage,

they'd stuffed me inside a sleeping bag upside down.

Somebody pulled me out of the van.

And it was him.

And he goes,

"Don't give me any shit, you little bastard,

"or I'll chop your tits off."

So I didn't scream.

And I should have screamed,

I should have screamed my fucking head off, cos if I had,

then somebody might have heard me,

or they might have panicked and made a mistake,

and then none of the rest would have happened.

But I didn't...

And I know it's a survival thing

and I know I'm not a coward.

So why does it play over and over and over in here?

Catherine...

Well, because you're human.

Because what happened to you was horrendous.

You can go home if you want.

I'll speak to the DI, he'll underst...

- No. - All right.

I was just saying it to you.

OK.

What are you going to do?

About Ryan?

Is he still round at theirs?

Yeah. He came to fetch

his homework last night, which was a tale.

Never normally gives a toss about his homework,

but he's worked out that...

He's worked out that Becky took her own life.

Apparently Clare spent Saturday evening explaining to him why -

well, a version of why - but he still wants to

go and visit him.

"He's still my dad."

Good luck to him, eh?

So, who started all this about an alien liaison officer?

Oh, Gorkem saw a strange light moving in an erratic manner

over Erringden Moor at five o'clock yesterday morning.

So then he started googling stuff and found out about

that bobby in Todmorden in 1980

reckoning he'd been abducted by aliens,

so now he's convinced himself that the Earth's only days away

from being overrun by little green men.

Fancy travelling all that way through the galaxy

and ending up in Todmorden.

Well, you know.

Come all that way, you've got to land somewhere.

Yeah, but Tod? I mean,

you'd just open your capsule door,

stick your antennae up briefly,

and turn around and go home, wouldn't you?

Well, I would, certainly.

Anyway, I thought you'd like to know that he's just handed in

his application form to Mike.

What did Mike say?

I don't know.

You think it's gone on long enough?

Do you think you should tell him the truth

before he makes a pillock of himself

with a member of the public?

Look, it's Shaf's jolly little jape -

it's him you need to talk to, not me.

Catherine Cawood.

Catherine, can we have your team upstairs

in five minutes for this Josip Matic arrest briefing?

You can indeed, sir.

Upstairs now, boys and girls.

Fuck's sake.

Viktor's here.

Hey, Viktor.

The chief knows what happened in that flat down at Elland.

- Oh? - It's been in the paper.

He put two and two together.

He says, "You think this is how to run a business?"

A woman dead,

70G left behind in a flat by a moron,

and the feds all over it.

Josip said she was happy.

She was happy every time we went around there.

We didn't know she knew stuff

until he rang us up, panicking.

- You brought him in. - We didn't know

the dumb bitch would try flying out the window.

You should know. You should make it

your business to know that someone like that

hasn't got it in them to try anything that fucking stupid.

And then he says,

"This Josip didn't get any of the money out?

"He didn't think to take anything with him?"

He panicked.

What do you want us to do?

He wants Josh) moved on.

What...

- ...moved on as in...? - Moved on.

Before the feds get to him.

He won't talk. He's been briefed.

He won't talk because you

are going to pick him up before they do.

He's ditched his phone.

- They won't find him. - You need to go there

- right now. - Do you think the chief

will still want to come to me wedding on Wednesday?

If you sort this out. If you don't, you'll be lucky

to be at your own fucking wedding on Wednesday.

Keys.

Hiya.

I didn't know if you'd come.

I do what I say I'll do.

Like help me get a flat?

First things first. I'm...

I'm not in your contacts on your phone, am I?

No. Why?

Just checking.

And have you ever looked the pharmacy up

on your computer or anything?

- Why? - Because we have to make sure

nobody can connect me to him.

So, obviously, if they can connect me to you,

- that's a connection to him. - No.

- I haven't. - Right.

So Friday night, you crush up three diazepam...

This Friday? - This Friday, and then you...

- Three? - Three or four.

Have you got enough left?

No.

Right. And then you put them in his drink,

whatever he's drinking, but not the first one.

Wait till he's well under way and then do it.

Will he be well under way by 1 1?

- Yeah. - Right, well, at that time,

and don't rush, I'll be just out here, waiting.

As soon as he's unconscious, you let me in, and...

...that's it. I'll do it.

You'll do it?

I'll inject him with thin air, as discussed.

It's a syringe.

I want you to hide this somewhere.

I don't want to risk it falling out of my pocket

when I'm climbing up that fucking wall.

Somewhere handy.

I'll, er, put it in here,

under one of these.

So, I'll do the thing.

It'll take about 15 seconds.

- And then... - Is that all?

Yeah.

And then we'll put him in his car and I'll drive him

into Huddersfield, and then I'll just leave him in his car

somewhere near Great Northern Street.

What about your wife? Won't she...?

No, she'll be out of it.

I'll drop a bit of something in whatever she's drinking.

And then your story will be

that you went to bed at 20 past ten,

and that you left him up here drinking in front of the telly

and that you had no idea he drove into town

looking for prostitutes

when the rest of the house was asleep. Yes?

- Right. - And when it's done,

I don't want any more contact between us at all.

Is that clear?

You need more pills, you go to your GP again.

Except you won't need any more because you'll be shut of him.

OK?

Are you... Are sure you want to do this? For me?

Yes. But you don't mention anything about me to the police

when they come back to you about those pills they took.

Yeah?

Yeah, of course.

How will we get him into his car?

We'll manage.

He weighs 13 stone.

We'll manage between us.

Dead bodies are very unwieldy.

I'm sure they... How do you know?

It was on t'telly, in this crime thing.

Well, I'm stronger than I look. So...

What's funny?

Just“

Nothing!

Nothing's funny!

I'm trying to help you, Joanna.

I know, and I'm sorry.

I'm trying to find a way

to solve the mess that's been created.

What's in the garage?

Nothing. Stuff.

Can I have a look?

I...

I need to get the...

...the key.

He keeps it locked.

He keeps everything fucking locked.

...speed of light, disappeared into thin air.

Then there was this other incident.

This was in the 1980s.

Field full of cows, also in Todmorden.

Shit.

- Shit! - What are we gonna do?

Drive round the block.

This whole herd disappeared from one side of the valley

to the other overnight.

And physically they just could not have got there.

It was impossible.

There were fences, gates.

- An entire herd! - Will you shush?

What are they doing?

Why haven't they gone in?

Who's in there with him?

Who can we phone?

He might have done one. He might have gone.

Yeah. Yeah, and what if he hasn't?

None of them missing, none of them harmed.

So...

...how?

And this is very well documented.

I'm not disputing what you're saying.

I'm just saying, why would they bother?

Come all this way from Uranus,

do you really think they're going,

"Oh, let's shift these cows. That'll mystify everybody."

Right, well, you tell me how it happened, then.

Cattle rustlers!

- Go, go, go. - Go, go, go. Shut up!

Show yourself! Police!

Downstairs clear!

Stay where you are! Police!

Josip Matic! Where are you, mate?

Stay where you are!

Hey, get down here now.

He's in the loft, he's not coming down.

All right.

We're going up.

Eyes peeled outside.

What... What are you looking for?

I could drag him out this way.

Open this door.

Reverse his car in a bit. Nobody'd see anything.

Yeah. Er...

Maybe we shouldn't.

Shouldn't?

Do it.

I know I've always said if I don't do something to him,

he'll do something to me, but I don't...

I don't think...

You told him about me.

It isn't just about you.

You told him it was me who gave you that diazepam.

Yeah, but...

All right. So, er...

I didn't.

What?

I lied. He doesn't know about you.

What?

I just said that so you'd help me, but...

he doesn't. He doesn't.

So we don't have to do this.

And I think it might be better

if I just went back and talked to that police lady,

asked her to help me. I won't say anything

- about you. - You lied?

Sorry.

So we're not doing it.

- Do you want to? - Do I want to?

No, I don't want to.

I just don't want people behaving like...

So he doesn't know?

- No. - He definitely doesn't know?

No.

Are you filing?

No!

But is that all right? Not doing it.

- Faisal! - Yeah!

Yes.

As long as you're not going to keep pestering me

to help you with money and somewhere to live if we don't.

Oh, er...

Oh, God.

Maybe we should do it.

- You're a liability! - Don't say that.

How do I know you're not lying?

Because I'm not lying!

You lied in the first place saying he did!

Yeah, cos I needed you to help me.

Yeah, and now you're going to go back to your police lady

and tell her God knows what!

I won't say owt about you!

Oh, promise?

Fuck off.

Anyway, I'm not lying, cos if I was, don't you think

he'd have knocked on your door by now

and smashed your teeth down your fucking throat for you?

And been to the police?

You better lock that door,

or he'll know you've been in there.

What's happening, Shaf?

- Anything? - He's gone through!

It's a through-er! He's gone through to another house.

Oi!

Shit.

- Fucking shoelaces! - You're under arrest...

You're under arrest... Stop fucking kicking me!

Pulling my fucking pants down!

...on suspicion of false imprisonment.

Fuck you, bitch!

Fuck you, buster.

Man, we are fucking dead.

But it may harm your defence if you do not mention

when questioned something you later rely on in court.

Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

You're also under arrest

on suspicion of money laundering.

Fucking hell.

You got that, you little shit?

Fuck.

Catherine?

- Are you all right? - 9233, go ahead.
