Original subtitles

During the widow's veil, we're completely cut off.

It can be really sunny here, but

contact with the mainland can get a bit patchy.

The True Way. Everyone says

it's just for the tourists. They're real.

He took it. He took the file.

Someone on this island put down The

True Way symbol, parked their car, and

waited for a 13 year old boy to freeze to death.

I'm gonna find whoever killed Cai.

You are the flame that shows us the righteous path.

The True Way.

☺ Subtitle created by Svenni101 ☺

It's off the Welsh coast. It's a

community. And I'm gonna be their police sergeant.

I'm getting a boat there. Love a boat, me.

When will you come back?

I don't know. As soon as I can.

I'll miss you.

Will you?

Will you really?

Of course.

Will I?

We all will. They love you here.

They're always saying, when's Grace visiting?

I'm gonna miss you, too, mum.

Mum?

Oh.. love.

You're not my daughter.

My daughter's a whore.

The car is a non starter. We don't even

know what color that is. Grey. Green,

maybe. It could be a Land Rover. If the

image was clearer, we could use the local

intel system to do a partial vehicle

search. If we had access to the Internet, that is.

I know, I keep asking.

It could be back up today. It could be end of next week.

Do you want the jar?

Okay. What about whoever took Silas's file?

He had a mask, you said?

Yeah, like a sun, sort of a circle with a face in the middle.

Oh, yeah. That's the Wood God.

You know what it is?

Remember how everyone

was saying that The True Way is just for

tourists? Well, it is, but they're our

traditions as well. There's four

characters, right? There's the Wood God,

Triple Headed Goddess, the Red King, and

the Holly King. When we were kids, we'd

dress up as them and go to parties and

parades and stuff. You know, like how

people dress up as Dracula or Frankenstein

- for Halloween? - It's the monster.

- Frankenstein was the scientist. - What?

So, the Wood God, does he have a role in the

mythology? Is he like a messenger, an executioner?

I have no idea. Our moms

would just make us a costume when we run around.

This is why we need that bloody

file. So that leaves Gruffudd.

I saw that.

We still don't know where he was during

last year's widow's veil or why.... - Hello

Shop....

ding.

Yes. Just a second. Silas.

I know what I wanted to ask you. The day that Cai

was found in Lucy's garden, she said

Gruffudd had a word with him.

Do you remember what he said?

Don't be soft now, lad. Stay out to people's gardens.

Did you hear him say that?

No. He took Cai aside.

I was with Lucy, but Gruffudd told me afterwards.

So...

I've had a think and I've decided

not to press charges on Ian.

Okay. You sure about that?

He lost his son.

He wasn't thinking straight.

Bygones and all that.

I stopped by his house. But there's no one in.

No, he's here, but we'll tell him.

I'll take him a brew in a minute.

No, maybe don't. With this not being a hotel.

How are you going on with my file?

Oh yes... the file.

It's been stolen.

What?

My car skidded off

the road when I was driving back

yesterday, and when I came to, it was gone.

That took me months.

I'm really sorry.

But we'll get it back. I promise.

Told you, though, didn't I?

They're everywhere.

Perhaps we can chat later, though. See how much of it you can remember.

Yeah?

In the meantime, I just need a quick chat with my illustrious predecessor.

Oh, this doesn't look good.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

If you're gonna go see Grace, can you

give her that for me?

Bit late for breakfast, innit?

It's lunch, actually, because Grace doesn't eat breakfast.

Did you not know that?

Welsh cakes.

These home made?

Yeah. I had a spare minute.

Made me a pack lunch once.

Okay, here we go. You're great at this.

Cup-A-Soup and a Ferrero Rocher.

I asked, if you wanted to

help out beyond the bar yesterday in the

hall because I thought it might be nice

for us to do something together. But you were busy.

Oh, were you hoping we'd make

some precious memories? Sorry, that went

right over my head. Hey, next time, give

me a wink. So. I know. I'd hate to miss you

being maternal again. It's like a fucking comet.

You were gonna talk to the others.

See what they know about Cai.

Yeah, I did.

No one knows anything.

Of course not. Cause it wasn't us.

Anyone could have done that symbol.

We're being framed.

You watch.

We should go to the police.

We say we're in The True Way. And we wouldn't

do something like that.

Oh, my God! You're not serious.

We tell them.

We say...

You know who them is, don't you?

My husband.

This one's dad.

So that's us over. I mean, that's divorce, that is.

So, I think I'll give that a miss. Thanks very much.

Is it, though?

Maybe no one will mind what we are.

At the end of the day, it's just about

belief, isn't it? That's all we do. We believe something.

It's the fall that'll kill you.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

They're on a cliff and they're about to jump. And

one says, I can't swim. And the other says.

What's that matter?

It's the fall that'll kill you.

You're right.

People won't care what we believe.

They care we lied to them.

Right!

Exactly!

So, we say nothing.

Keep digging.

I'm telling you, it's a stitch up.

But if it was us...

someone's got to know something.

Come on.

Lucy, listen.

Keep your head down here.

While I sort things out.

Why? What's wrong?

Nothing. It's just....

delicate.

Soon. Best not to be asking too many

questions. Yeah?

I got this.

That's what kids say, isn't it?

I've got this.

There is a state of panic now because of your actions.

My God, Grace. You have

a duty of care. You can't just present

this like the threat is current, is ongoing.

The threat is current. And while

The True Way is still active, the threat is ongoing.

If there had been a secret

death cult on St. Jory for the best part

of a century, I think at some point

someone might have noticed. Now...

- Hey. What's going on? - ... have people coming to me.

Grace is getting a bollocking because she told everybody

about The True Way.

- What possessed you? - I did it because the investigation is

deadlocked. Perhaps this might encourage

someone to come forward. If people are

offended, that is too bad. Perhaps they

could spare a thought for Cai, locked in

that shelter while someone sat in their

car listening to him freeze to death.

You know what? It's great you're taking an

interest in this case, but honestly, the

best thing you can do for Cai now is to

let me do my job.

Don't think I've ever seen anyone talk to

Heather like that before.

She's a pussycat really.

Sorry for your wasted journey.

All right, yes, of course. Uhh.. thank you, Grace.

Best thing you can do for Cai now is....

is let me do my job.

Not gonna lie. Tiny bit

turned on and I know Owen is too.

Wait... Shut up. I'm not.

I'm not, Grace.

What are you doing here anyway?

Okay, hear me out.

You're totally understaffed.

So how about I help you out for a bit?

Now, before you say what you're gonna say.

I've prepared a list of reasons.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Really?

It is?

Yeah. Like you said, we're understaffed.

You can man the front desk, take messages.

That sort of thing?

No, she can't interact

with the public. She's basically feral.

Besides, doesn't she need a background check or something?

Owen, you're literally the police.

Does she have a criminal record?

No.

Amazing.

Some follow up questions. Do I get paid?

No. In fact, that's kind of illegal.

But I'll buy you a sandwich.

Do I get a badge?

No, but while the phone lines

are done, you can have a walkie-talkie.

For police business only, so no mucking about.

Well, we'll see about that.

I know whose car that is.

Hi, Ian. How you doing?

I was just gonna bring you a brew.

After you showed me this picture yesterday, I've

been trying to work out where I'd seen it before.

It's Mihangel's.

The first time we met.

I'd been searching his garage.

I... I passed out. Remember?

That's where I'd seen it.

Okay. I mean, the image isn't very clear.

Can you describe it?

It was.... It's an ancient... uhh... Land

Rover. Range Rover. I don't know the

difference. It's dark green.

But that's more kind of Grey.

Yeah, but something's

happened to the paintwork... on the roof.

It's oxidized, isn't it? It's reacted.

It's corroded. It's sort of olive Grey

now. It's olive gray.

Okay. Ehh... Winter,

could you get Ian a cup of tea? I'm gonna

go talk to Gruffudd. But on the way back...

No, no, no. You have to go there now.

Listen to me.

That is the car that was

there when Cai died.

Tell me about Gruffudd's daughter.

Oh, my God.

She disappeared a year to the day before

Cai. That warrants a conversation? Surely?

This thing with Gruffudd, this is a...

Ohh. When, you can't see... based on the things you can see..

- Uhh.. A blind spot? - Yesss

- No, it isn't. - Blind spot, thank you.

Look, we know The True Way connected to Cai's death,

so the only way it could be Gruffudd is if he's a member.

I don't think even you believe that.

I can see what he means about the roof?

What do you reckon?

Not sure.

Game face on, though.

Hi, Mihangel. Do you mind if we have a quick word?

This won't take too long. Like I said the

other day, I'm talking to everyone, really.

I just want to ask you about the car in the garage.

Okay.

Okay. Mihangel.

Listen to me. I need you to put the gun down.

I don't think you want to do this.

I think you want to tell

me something. But you're scared.

Right?

So am I. So is Owen, aren't you Owen?

I'm absolutely bricking it.

So....

try something for me.

In your mind. I want you to jump ahead to a

moment after you've told me.

Think about the relief you'll feel.

Do it for me now.

We'll all do it.

Feels nice. Yeah? That relief.

It's right here.

Seconds away.

That's it. Should put the gun down.

That's it. We'll talk. It's all good.

It's all good.

Is somebody hurt?

Uhhh... Grace will explain.

You'll need these.

Oh, and.... mind where you step.

I might have thrown up a bit.

What's going on?

I've just had Winter pitch up at the house, telling me to bring Ian here.

Look, lovie.

It's classified.

Hey, we talked about this.

Where's the file?

What's happened?

You arrested him?

Mihangel took his own life before we could speak to him.

- Why would he do that? - We can discuss that

in a sec. First, I need you to confirm he's deceased.

He has no head.

But things have to be done in a certain way.

He's dead.

Thank you.

It was him, wasn't it?

- We don't know that for sure. - Why else would he kill himself?

That is a valid question.

Fuck off, Grace.

I swear to God.

The case against him is very compelling.

Fuck.

Ian!

Ian!

It was him.

Ian. Ian. Mihangel's body is evidence now.

It has to be preserved. Do you understand?

I want you to go home.

But you can't say

anything to anyone. Not yet.

I'm serious.

You've got to be kidding me.

They wouldn't leave till they'd seen you.

Was it Mihangel? Is it over?

Ehh...

I... I can't comment at this time.

Who do you reckon told them? Ian?

Ehhh....

Yeah. Chances are.

They're right, though, Grace.

You did it. Got him.

So what happens now?

Well... ehhh...

once the phone lines are back up, I'll

need to contact the coroner and the

forensics team on the mainland.

Mihangel suicide will be deemed death after police

contact, so we'll be referred to the IOPC.

Wait, we'll be investigated?

Yeah, don't worry. It's just what happens.

We can't investigate what happened to Mihangel

because we're basically witnesses. But we

can carry on investigating Cai's death.

What's left to investigate?

We're pretty

certain that is his car in the picture and he

killed himself before he could be questioned.

There's nothing much more incriminating than that.

Except we know literally nothing.

If it was Mihangel.

Did he act alone?

If.. if he's in The True Way.

Is he, like, the only member? And who

kills someone by making them freeze to

death? Is that how they do it? Is it a

ritual? Ohh, I need that file.

See, I looked for it at Mihangel's,

but I couldn't see it anywhere. Then

there's motive. Why kill Cai? Far as I can

tell, they barely knew each other. I'm

saying this isn't a victory, okay? This is not justice.

I reckon Ian would say it is.

Well, that's why parents of dead children

don't decide the law.

Okay, okay, okay.

Tell me everything.

Yeah. Good luck.

She's got her face on

because we didn't get to question Mihangel.

So you got him?

We have to

shut up shop for the day and get so drunk

we actually go blind.

No. Winter. There's a whole process that has to happen

now, okay? This is a total mess.

Blah, blah, blah. Tell me what happened. Did he

do it in front of you?

This is insane.

Okay, if everyone knows about Mihangel,

we need to secure his house.

All roads lead to this twat.

Minh. Hi, Grace. We met at the village hall.

I know who you are.

Oh, Gruffudd said....

Never mind.

Is he.. is he in? Can I have a quick chat?

He's not here.

Don't know when he'll be back.

Alright.

You want to come in?

Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you.

How long have you been here?

- Since last April. - Aha.

They say in the

widow's veil was really mild this year.

Compared to last year, anyway.

At least you had Gruffudd with you.

That's right, isn't it? Gruffudd was here with you.

For the whole thing?

He didn't nip off at any point?

It's fine. He's not in

any trouble. It's my job to ask this stuff.

There was the cow.

The cow?

Someone's cow got out.

He was still the police sergeant, so he had to go and help.

Oh, yeah. I hear this happens a lot with cows.

Sorry, when did you say this was?

First day of the storm.

Uhhh... About five o'clock.

And how long was he gone? An hour, 2 hours?

Something like that.

And how did he know about the cow? Cause

I'm assuming the phone lines were still down.

Maybe someone came to the door.

Did you see them?

Okay, no worries.

One last thing and then I will leave you in peace.

You ever meet his daughter, Bethan?

She'd left before I got here.

No, but I mean, she

must pop back for birthdays, Christmases,

that sort of thing. God, your wedding even.

I don't know anything about her.

Thank you for your time.

Do you mind if I use your toilet?

I'll be in touch if there's anything else

I need. But that was... that was really

helpful. Thank you.

You know what I did back home?

What my job was?

I taught physics. Some chemistry too, but mainly physics.

That surprises you, doesn't it?

No. Well, absolutely not.

It shouldn't make any difference what I did.

But it might help you. Take my word for it.

When I tell you I know who Gruffudd is.

And I'm still here.

Think about that.

Winter... what are you doing here?

I'm basically a detective now.

I see.

Is Grace around?

I just wanted to, well... congratulate her.

Oh, don't bother.

She's not here.

Right. Well, if you

could pass on the message nonetheless.

You bet.

We've never really spoken, have we?

You and I.

We should.

Why?

Why?

Not saying no. Saying why?

Communities have cliques.

That's fine. That's normal. But we don't

do cliques, you and I, do we?

It can be a bit isolating at times.

Yeah.

Don't mind it.

You're rich. You're hot. I just thought

everyone would want to be your pal.

I'm half the island's landlord, so it makes

relationships complicated.

You're not mine.

Ladies and gentlemen.

A toast.

To Mihangel.

May hell be real,

may roast,

may rot.

Cheers, everyone. Cheers.

Grace. Grace. Grace.

The cat... is out of the bag,

so you can tell me everything.

What sound did his head make

when it exploded?

I mean, I'm imagining a sort of POP.

SPLAT.

What? Let me give, get you a drink.

Oh, no, listen, I'd love to, but I've still got a

pile of work to do and I just nipped back to

get changed. Another time, yeah?

This place is dead.

Not as dead as Mihangel.

No.

Sorry. Is it too soon?

Too much? Yep.

Gruffudd, where are you going?

Gruffudd!

- You can't be in here. - Oh, I'm sorry. Do

you not like it when someone invades your privacy?

Gruffudd!

No. Get downstairs now.

Don't panic, Lowri.

I'm just here to talk to the girl.

We're cool as cucumbers,

aren't we, Grace?

I'm fine, Lowri. Thank you.

We need to do this.

Right.

Enough. Enough.

Now. You crossed

a line today. This is harassment.

Once and for all. Why didn't you do a proper search for Cai?

You're not listening to me.

You're done. I'll have your job for this.

Trust me, once this is over, you are

welcome to it. You lied about the area you

searched and just happened to miss where

the body was. It's a bit of a coincidence,

don't you think? Or are you just inept?

You know what?

You're right.

I could have done a better search.

I mean, the boy was

already dead, but sure. Tell me, though,

is that better or worse than your prime

suspect killing himself in front of you?

The day Cai disappeared, you told him

about his dad and Lucy. Why?

I thought it was time he knew exactly who his father was.

Ah, there's more to it than that. I

want to say it's because you're obsessed

with Lucy, but then you just make Ian's

life hell. Instead, you went for Cai. You

hated him. Why? Then you were AWOL for a

chunk of last year's widow's veil while

- Cai froze to death. - Any of this feel familiar?

- What? - Those boys that you

reported back home, has it occurred to you

that this is how they started? Huh?

A bend of rule here and there, quick detour on

the way to the toilet, bit of pressure on

the suspect's family, but what does it matter?

When you're certain you've got

your man and before you know it, you've

beaten the shit out of someone in a car park.

Tell me....

how does it feel?

To be just like them?

Where's your daughter, Gruffudd?

Shut up.

On the mainland, I heard.

Funny, that's what you said about Cai.

Grace, I said shut up.

And what teenager goes anywhere without their laptop?

Perhaps Grace is right...

and Mihangel is

just the tip of a very unpleasant iceberg.

Could there be more of them?

People we know?

Nah. Chances are Mihangel was

just some lone nutter who found a book or

something and thought, oh yeah, this sounds great.

You really think so?

Like you said, if there'd been some mad cult

on the island for hundred years, we

probably would have noticed.

Sorry. The walls here are not exactly sound proof.

Are you in The True Way, Winter?

Cliques aren't my thing, remember?

So... why did you take Silas's file from Grace's car?

What?

You were seen...

and now here you are...

in the police station.

In the middle of everything.

See...

I think you are in The True Way

and you are trying to sabotage the

investigation into Cai's death.

Sorry, babes. I left his lordship's rabbit

in the village hall. He wont settle without it.

Mum's got him, but she's pulling her hair out.

Silas. Just gotta pop out, get

something for Elan.

Okay.

I can't believe it. We were literally

talking to him this morning. Now, I still

think we should go to the police. For there's

stuff in his house that connect him to us.

There won't be. Mihangel knew the rules.

I don't know what we are anymore.

I never cared it was a secret.

We didn't do anything. We just believed.

And now this has happened. I...

- don't know what we are. - That's the second time that

you've said that now.

We don't just

believe. We are the answer. The last

living subjects of the ancient kings.

I don't care what .... left. What

Mihangel did has nothing to do with us.

Anyway, he's gone now.

So just hold your nerve.

It's nearly over.

Okay.

What's Romans 6:1,

Douglas? Roman 6:1. What is it?

It's from the Bible.

I'm not sure of the quote exactly.

Would you have a Bible on you?

No, we don't carry them around with us.

There might be one in the office.

Okay, who has keys to the hall?

You.

Lucy does for her toddler group. Who else?

Heather does. She has keys to all the

public buildings...

even my house.

You could ask her... I guess.

Here.

Here we are.

Romans 6:1

What should we say then? Shall we continue

in sin that...

What? That what?

That... uhh..

grace may abound.

Thank you, Douglas. That's all I need for now.

Send Lucy and Elan home. But I'll need

to get statements from them both.

Probably tonight.

You still reckon it could be Gruffudd then?

I don't know. But he was missing for

a couple of hours while Cai was in the

shelter. Minh told me.

Wait, was he?

For fuck sake.

Until now The True Way have covered their tracks.

Cai's death was a

secret. They wanted everything to be

invisible. This is a statement. They want

us to see them now. They are building to something.

Building to what?

Oh my God. Why aren't you freaking out?

It's on my to do list.

In the meantime, we're gonna take

photos of everything, every detail.

Then the body will have to be removed

before it starts to decay. How did you get

on with the funeral directors?

They're on their way.

Maybe this time they can hang on to it.

I'm gonna go talk to Heather.

Wait. Should you be doing any of this?

What? Why wouldn't I?

That Bible quote was meant for you.

We don't... We don't know that.

How daft do you think I am? It said your bloody name.

Look.... I can't do this on my own.

But if they're after you now, maybe you shouldn't be here.

There's places on the other side of the island.

You might be safer there.

I never thought you were daft. Not for one second.

But I owe it to Cai to see this through to the end.

One job, gentlemen. You had one job.

Uhh. You can go home now. I'll have to take

statements from you both, probably tonight.

I want to talk to Grace.

What? She's busy.

- Talk to her tomorrow. - No, I need to do it now. It's urgent.

Look, you can talk to me later or you can talk to her tomorrow. It's up to you.

Don't be a dick, Lucy. Not tonight.

Save your breath.

Grace?

Mihangel's body just turned up in the village hall.

It's been desecrated, covered in true way symbols.

You have keys to the hall. Where are they?

Oh... wait. What?

Someone did what to Mihangel's body?

Someone in The True Way stole it from the

funeral home, took it to the hall and desecrated it.

Douglas said you have keys to the hall. Where are they?

Do you still have them?

Sorry. Who told you I have keys?

Douglas did. Heather, wake up.

Sorry, it's, um. It's been a night.

It's fine.

Let me check.

Yes...

mine are still here.

I don't know what that tells me, but, um. Okay.

Your grandfather

must have records about The True Way.

Notebooks, journals, that sort of thing.

Do you still have them?

His son, my father

destroyed everything. He was so ashamed of

what his father did to St. Jory, he

wanted it expunged. Most of The True Way

still have descendants on the island.

They might have records.

I don't have anything.

Oh, I... do

have this, though.

I was going to bring it to you first thing.

I've had a look through it. It's actually a pretty good primer.

This is Silas's.

Where did you get it? I've been looking for this.

It was someone... who gave it to me. They came

across it. They passed it to me so I could give it to you.

Who? Who had it?

I'd rather not say. The important thing is you have it now.

You realise this is how we ended up here, because of fucking secrets.

Oh, Grace, lovie. What a day. Come on, sit down.

No, I'm good. Really. I've...

This is me using my stern voice.

Apply arse to seat. Come on, sit down.

You look awful.

Okay.

I've been thinking.

Is there someone you can call?

Get them over here?

They can stay.

No, the phones don't work.

All right. When we're back up and running

again. A fella...

or a girl?

....

Well, there isn't, but thank you.

Come on.

A lovely girl like you.

Oh... Love is chaos.

Right! But your mum, then.

She's, uhh...

No, I.... I lost her a long time ago.

Me too.

If it's any consolation.

Parents are dead.

Winter's dad...

I... God knows where.

I hope he's dead.

Well, you got Winter.

No. No, we're miles apart, love.

Different planet.

I was so young when I had her.

I couldn't be a mum,

so I loved having this little firecracker.

She was more like a sister than a daughter.

But then, of course, what she needed was her mum.

She would have been dead proud of you, your mum.

Because I would be.

I should go up. I've got to read this and Christ, there is so much to do.

Did Winter give you that?

No. Heather did.

Why?

No, not.. nothing. I just...

I could have sworn I saw that in Winter's room.

Would you turn the lights off when you're done? And night, lovie.

Oh, thank God you're here. I'm so bored.

What's that?

Silas's file.

Oh, you got it.

Where was it?

Heather gave it to me.

Nice one.

You're not gonna ask me where Heather got it?

Uhhh... Okay.

Where did Heather get it?

Someone gave it to her. She won't say who.

Great story.

It was you. Your mum saw it in your

bedroom. She told me.

Are you in The True Way?

No. No, it's

- nothing like that. - So, why did you take it?

I was gonna give it back.

That's not an answer.

Do you know something about Cai?

Something you don't want me to know?

I don't want you to leave.

Look...

you're the best thing that's ever happened here.

And once it's over,

it's not like you're gonna stay, is it?

It was a spur of the moment thing.

I followed you out into the storm because I

was worried. And then I saw you'd crashed

and I ran over and saw the file on the

floor of the car and...

I didn't think it was

gonna stop you solving the murder. Just...

delay it a bit.

You can't work here. We

can't be friends. Do you understand that?

No, I can. We can.

Look... I knew it was stupid and I wanted to give

it back. I just didn't know how.

I'm really sorry.

You have no idea how

hard it is for me to stay, to be stable.

I need to know what's real. I need to know

who's real. I need to be around people I

can trust. I need to be around adults.

You said my mum told you she saw it in my room.

Watch her.

All right?

What did Lucy say?

What do you think?

Same as you.

You should get some sleep.

His lordship will be up soon.

Aren't you coming?

I'm gonna make sure the crime

scenes are secured, and...

That's gonna take all night.

She's, uhh...

She's right, you know.

Grace.

There is something wrong here.

- St. Jory is not a good place. - Well, that's nice.

This is our home.

These are our friends, our neighbours.

Yeah...

well, one of our friends, killed Cai.

One of our neighbors did that to Mihangel's body.

Right. Listen to me.

We're gonna get out of here, okay?

I'm not raising my son

around these people and a bastard...

You tired, love? And you've had a shock.

- We've all had a shock. - I can tell you now, Ellen.

They're not taking him.

Just, I want you to understand that.

I don't believe all that True Way stuff anyway.

I reckon it's someone making it look like it's them.

God, is that what I sounded like?

We overlook stuff here.

No ask no questions, tell no lies, that sort of thing.

This stalemate.

True Way broke it, and we can't live

like that ever again.

What's that saying...?

You can't unring a bell!

I...

don't know what time I'll be home.

I need to get to the station first thing.

Ian, I swear to God, I'm gonna...

Ian?

Gruffudd?

You're here!

I need to show you something.

Bloody hell, you've been busy.

Okay.

Where is it? Here. This is from Silas's

file. It's a description of True Way punishments.

Wait. This is Silas's file?

Yeah. Winter had it. Do you know how they

executed people back in the day when the

first lord Nancarrow was running the island?

They threw them down the big pit on the hill.

Bloody hell.

No, that is not the end of it.

Now, the pit is thought to be about

200 meters deep, but they'd send someone

down to get the body, bring it back up,

and then display what was left of it.

What, like Mihangel's body?

No, not like they did with Mihangel.

Do you remember when I asked if the Wood God had a role in the mythology?

Well, he does. They all do.

And anyone that they punish in this way

becomes the Holly King. Now, I thought the

Holly King king was all prosperous and

Christmassy. It's really not. The holly

crown is like a crown of thorns, and the

big belly is like a distended stomach from starvation.

Now, the body has to be

processed in a very specific way. Look,

chains have been attached to his ankles

like shackles. He wears the Holly King

mask, and the only symbol is The True Way

triangle on the chest. It is precise.

Ceremonial. Now, look at Mihangel's body.

The triple headed goddess mask has

been wedged on top, which makes no sense

because he's not the triple headed goddess.

And the symbols are just random.

They're scrawled here and there. It's what

I would do. I just make up some pagan shit

and draw it on him. But that's not all.

This is about how The True Way viewed

other faiths. They basically pitied them.

Thought they were stories. Thought they

were kind of beneath contempt.

So why would they hang a card around Mihangel's

neck with someone else's religion?

Because they didn't know any better.

Because it's not about The True Way.

It's about me.

What do you mean?

I don't think they did it.

I don't think they killed Cai.

And whoever did has been

faking the connection to The True Way.
