["Pump" by Chris Lorenzo playing]

[Naomi] On New Year's five years ago,

I was out with Max and Jake.

[cheering]

[crowd] Nine! Eight!

Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!

[ominous music playing]

[Naomi] Shit, shit, shit.

Get back in the car.

[Naomi] He's not moving.

I said get back in the fucking car.

Who did you call?

A friend.

[Naomi] A few days later,

it was in the papers.

There'd been a hit-and-run.

A man was seriously injured in hospital.

There was no mention of us.

I don't know who Max spoke to,

but he basically made our part in it disappear.

We never told anyone.

And then, months later,

after Andie went missing,

just after the police interviewed us about Sal,

we got a note delivered to Max's house.

It had instructions on it.

We had to tell the police that we lied,

that Sal had left Max's at 10:30,

delete any photos taken of Sal after that time.

And if you didn't?

They'd tell the world that we were in a hit-and-run...

that we left a man to die.

[ominous music playing]

All this time,

you've been letting people believe that Sal's guilty

when he couldn't have done it!

It hasn't been easy.

My best friend killed himself because of what I did.

I've held on to that for five years, and it's almost killed me.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Oh, dear.

She having another one of her episodes?

I've told her everything.

Why would you do that?

A man nearly died because of us.

And because you were too much of a coward to own up to it, Sal died!

I'm sorry.

I did it to protect us.

[somber music playing]

[sobs]

[shakily] We can't bring him back.

Come on. We made a pact.

Don't do this, Gnomes.

It's already done.

I have proof.

[sinister music playing]

What proof?

You missed this one.

I knew it was there, but I didn't tell you

'cause I hoped one day I'd be brave enough.

It was taken at 12:06 a.m.

on the night Andie disappeared.

Sal's taking the picture.

Fuck!

What have you done, you stupid, stupid bitch?

It's not just me that's gonna go down for this. Hm?

You're gonna destroy her life, you know that?

[heavy breathing]

[sinister music fades out]

[door closes]

Where are you going?

Dance.

["Concrete Over Water" by Jockstrap playing]

What's going on?

We need to talk.

["Concrete Over Water" by Jockstrap continues]

[muffled music playing]

So, whoever blackmailed them killed Andie.

Everything makes sense now. She's been terrified this whole time.

What's gonna happen to her?

She lied to the police.

I guess she could go to prison.

Why didn't she tell me?

Maybe it was just a part of herself that she kept hidden.

She was probably too ashamed.

She should be.

Just because she did this thing does not mean she's not a good person.

Don't.

I'm just not sure I can lose anybody else.

Wait.

What if there's another way we can prove Sal's innocence?

How?

I don't know yet, but...

You'd do that for us?

I'd do anything for you.

[somber music playing]

[Victor] Who goes there?

Come help me wrap.

[somber music fades out]

Okay.

Your mother says you had a chat.

You know, growing up, I knew so clearly what I wanted.

I wanted a family,

and I wanted stability.

Financial stability.

But you had that.

Yes. I had it all.

But it came at a cost.

I was working all the time,

and while I had financial stability...

I didn't feel stable.

I wasn't having an affair.

I just left to get my shit together.

Why'd you come back?

Because, chicken,

I realized that I needed to make some changes,

and your mother and you and your brother

were not the problem.

And I missed you.

[mellow music playing]

[quietly urgent music playing]

[quietly urgent music fades out]

[Barney whining]

Hey, Barney-Boo, what's up?

Come on.

[text tone rings]

[sinister music playing]

- [Barney whines] - Barney, come here!

I'm right here. Come and get me.

[Barney barking]

- [Barney growls and whines] - [Pip] Come on.

Barney, come on.

[quietly urgent music playing]

Hi.

My name's Pip Fitz-Amobi, and for the last few months,

I've been investigating the Andie Bell case.

I'm going to publish the whole story right here tomorrow,

so tune in.

Oh, and just so you know,

they got the wrong person.

[Pip, in video] Hi.

My name's Pip Fitz-Amobi, and for the last few months,

I've been investigating the Andie Bell case.

[text tone rings]

[ominous beat]

[quietly urgent music fades out]

You were right.

I never should've doubted Sal.

So, if you've got proof Sal's innocent,

why are you here posting videos instead of showing the police?

You don't want to get Naomi in trouble.

You're joking.

We know that Sal's innocent.

But on its own, I'm not sure the photo's enough

to prove it to the police.

We can try. I'm just asking for a few more hours.

To do what?

See if the real killer will reveal themselves.

If we catch them,

then maybe there's a way to prove Sal's innocence

without anybody finding out about the hit-and-run.

They're not that stupid.

They've kept hidden for five years.

Why would they risk exposing themselves now?

There's something I haven't told you.

Since the beginning, I've been receiving threats.

The first was a note, the others are texts.

I didn't tell you 'cause I thought you'd try and stop me.

[Ravi] Oh, my God.

I got another one tonight.

They were close enough to see me.

Shit.

And you posted a video to draw them out.

But you don't have all the evidence.

If they think that I'm gonna share the whole story,

then maybe they'll come after me, and I'll finally find out who they are.

This is an unbelievably terrible idea.

But I'm in.

Want me to keep watch while you get some sleep?

Thank you, but maybe we should stick together.

I just don't understand how Max was able to cover something like that up.

A man nearly died.

He's rich and white, and his dad knows everyone in town.

I'm more interested in who the blackmailer is.

Well, isn't that what we're about to find out?

You're a bad winner, you know that?

Yeah. [chuckles]

[metallic clang]

[tense music playing]

[tense music fades out]

[sighs]

Oi, bear.

You gave us a heart attack!

I broke a thing.

Yeah, we heard.

Hi.

Hey, I'm Ravi. Congratulations on the whole double-figures thing.

Thanks.

[Ravi] Got anything good?

Two books, a new skateboard,

and a Lego X-Wing or a TIE fighter.

- I can't tell by the rattle. - [Ravi] Nice.

Bed.

And maybe don't mention to Mom and Dad that Ravi was here, yeah?

Who's Ravi?

Come on.

[mellow music playing]

[Ravi] Do you remember your dad?

I was only one.

- [Ravi] That's sad. - Hm.

Weirdly, I don't think it's had any effect on me at all.

I think it's at the heart of everything.

What do you mean?

You're like me.

How?

Always worried about doing the right thing,

being a good person.

Why is that?

'Cause you don't wanna see our parents sad again.

It's pointless anyway.

There's no such thing as a good person.

Just a messy mixture of both.

Yeah.

I sometimes wonder who I would've been if Sal hadn't died.

- [mellow music stops] - [birds chirping]

Hey.

You've gotta go before my parents wake up.

- What if... you know... - It's fine.

They're not going to show up at a kid's party, are they?

Like you said, it was a stupid plan.

[mellow music playing]

Call me if you need me, Sarge.

- [upbeat music playing] - [kids laughing]

[Victor and Leanne chattering]

[Leanne laughs]

Come here.

- I'll get glasses. - Okay. You're adored!

- [music stops] - [faucet squeaks off]

[sighs]

[text tone rings]

[ominous music playing]

See who?

[line rings]

[Ravi] Hey, Sarge. Everything okay?

[sighs with relief] Yeah, it's fine. Just making sure you're okay.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Have you seen Josh?

I think he's outside.

Five minutes and counting. Start gathering people up.

[Pip] Josh?

[Victor] Who'd like some birthday cake? In one moment!

[ominous music fades out]

Josh?

[tense music playing]

Have you seen Josh?

Um... is he in the teepee?

Actually, can you tell him that we're about to serve the cake.

Here you go.

[tense music]

Josh?

[tense music fades out]

[crowd] ♪ Happy birthday, dear Josh! ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

- [Victor cheers] - [applause]

Happy birthday.

Make a wish.

[Leanne] Vic, have you fed Barney?

[Victor] No, not yet.

I wish Barney could have some cake.

[somber music playing]

Barney!

- Where's Barney? - Um...

I think he may have got out.

Barney! Barney!

Hey, this is Pip Fitz-Amobi.

I just wanna apologize for my post yesterday.

It was just a stupid joke.

I don't have any evidence.

None of it was true.

[phone beeps]

[somber music fades out]

[Victor] Pip!

[Pip] Barney!

[Josh] Barney!

- Here, boy! - Barney!

What if he got hit by a car?

He's a sheep dog.

He's number one on the list of smart dogs.

But he was frightened of sheep, and that's why we have him!

[Victor] We're going to find him.

He'll just be on some kind of epic squirrel hunt

and have forgotten the time, or...

[Victor] Barney!

- [Josh] Barney! - [Victor] Here, boy!

Sweetie, I'm gonna take Joshy home

and just hope that Barney's made it back, okay?

Right. I'll keep looking.

Me too. But I think we need to split up.

I'll call you if I find him.

- Keep your phone on, okay? - Okay.

Okay.

[dramatic music playing]

Barney!

Barney!

Barney?

Barney!

[twigs snap nearby]

[ominous beat]

No, no.

No, no, no! [crying]

Barney! Barney, please! Barney!

[Leanne] Someone must've hit him, Pip. I'm so sorry.

[Victor] Sixty-four tennis balls. We counted them.

All the balls you left in the house and the garden.

We hope you can take them with you wherever you go.

Why didn't anyone help him?

Maybe there was no one around, sweetheart.

[Josh] The person who hit him was around. Why didn't they stop?

[Victor] I don't know, but hey...

it's against the law to not report hitting a dog.

We just have to make sure the police investigate properly.

Hi, there. My name's Pip Fitz-Amobi.

I need to speak to PC Dan da Silva, please.

I'll see if he's available.

Happy to wait.

Pippa?

What are you doing here?

Uh, I have some information about a hit-and-run

that took place on January 1st, 2019.

Well, if you'd like to make a statement, we should find somewhere quiet to do it.

Great.

What do you want to talk about?

I know who was driving the other car.

I don't know what you mean.

I've spoken to Max and Naomi.

I know it was you Max called that night and asked to cover it up.

And I know that later you blackmailed them

and told them to change Sal's alibi.

It had to be you.

You were the first one there.

All I did was move some debris on the road.

It wasn't a big deal.

Either way, this has nothing to do with Andie's death.

I think DI Hawkins might disagree.

[tense music playing]

Andie and I had a thing,

but it was two years before she even went missing.

How old was she?

That's statutory rape.

She was 15!

Yeah. Not a good look if you want to become a police officer.

I could tell you she lied about her age, said she was 16,

but I'm not sure you'd believe me, would you?

Either way, Max found out about it

and held it over me whenever he could.

He knew I'd lose my job.

Max was the one who blackmailed me, not the other way round.

So, if you didn't blackmail them, who did?

It was the middle of the night, the middle of nowhere.

- No one else saw. - Except someone did!

I think it's time you gave this up, Pip.

[Pip] What's our next move?

I think we need to stop.

They came to your house and killed your dog.

I've already lost Sal, I don't wanna lose you too.

Yeah, but then we didn't do what we set out to do.

Things are never that neat.

This will never have a happy ending.

Sal's still dead, his friends still lied.

- But the truth... - What about it?

It's important.

People don't really care about the truth.

They just believe what they want to believe.

I care.

I know you do. But come on.

You're going to go to Cambridge next year.

Then you're going to be prime minister of the world.

Well, what will you do?

What can I do?

I can't leave my parents.

I'm stuck here.

[somber music playing]

I've gotta go.

What time does the exam start?

[Pip] I'm not going.

What are you talking about?

Don't feel like it.

Barney would want you to go.

No, he wouldn't.

He was always sad when I left for school.

Fine. Old Pip would want you to go.

Yeah, well, who is the old Pip?

My brilliant, forthright, intelligent daughter

who loved exams.

[indistinct chatter]

Barney was an absolute gentleman.

He was, wasn't he?

Saw your post.

Yeah, not my finest moment.

At least you went viral, baby!

Shall we go? Okay, bye.

Good luck!

Love you.

Phones, please.

You okay, Pip?

- Mm. - You've 100% got this.

Thanks.

Open your papers.

[mellow music playing]

How'd it go?

It was okay.

Comparisons between texts on the theme of evil.

Which two did you pick?

Easton Ellis and Melville.

- [clicks tongue] Oh, that's good. - [Cara chuckles softly]

How's Naomi?

Yeah. She seems better now.

That's good.

Lauren's got a horror movie marathon lined up.

I've got pizzas,

and Dad is driving us home.

Let's go.

Don't tell me, you picked Melville and Easton Ellis.

Yeah.

Great choice.

- [Lauren] Shotgun. - [Cara] No.

- [Lauren] Shotgun! - [Cara] No!

[phone rings]

- [Lauren] You can't say no to shotgun. - [Cara] He's my dad, okay?

[ominous music playing]

Hello?

Hey, Pip. It's Naomi.

Cara told me about Barney. I'm so sorry.

Whose number is this?

Well, since Max smashed up my phone,

I had to borrow some ancient brick of my dad's I found in a drawer.

Your dad's?

Yeah.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know I was sad about Barney.

Yeah.

Come to Mama.

[Zach] The duality is super obvious in Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde,

but it had a forerunner in Dostoevsky's The Double.

Just want to let you know I've got zero idea what you're talking about right now.

It's the idea that good and evil can coexist in a person at the same time.

They are not opposites

but instead indissoluble components of the human psyche.

Do you wanna watch the horror movie with us tonight, Dad?

We're gonna start with Onibaba.

Not even a tiny bit.

You know how I am with horrors. [chuckles]

Oh, and I've got tutoring tonight, so I'll drop you guys and run.

[Cara] How come you spend so much time tutoring

but we still don't have any money?

[Elliot] Because I have many mouths to feed.

You have expensive tastes.

[Cara, amused] What?

Thanks for the lift.

No problem. See you later.

[engine starts]

[Zach] How scary is this film?

[indistinct chatter]

Cara's birthday.

[Connor] Got any snacks?

Yeah, I think there are some Jammy Dodgers in the kitchen.

Berners Lane.

- Isn't that where you used to live? - [thunder claps]

Yeah, we sold it years ago. Why?

No reason.

[Connor] The cupboard is bare.

- Not a Jammy Dodger in sight. - [Cara] What?

I swear there was a whole bag full.

[screaming from film]

[laughs] Get off! You're strangling me!

I've gotta go. I love you so much.

Okay, weirdo.

Love you too.

["The Whole Universe Wants to Be Touched", by Nils Frahm plays]

[Elliot] I think you're smart enough to understand

why we felt perhaps

it wasn't the most appropriate subject matter.

What if Andie's not actually dead?

[reporter] Jason and Dawn Bell remain unable to bury their daughter,

as the search continues for Andie's body.

- [car door handle rattles] - Shit.

[Elliot] Pip?

- [tense music playing] - What on earth are you doing here?

I've called the police.

Why would you do that?

Because you have Andie Bell inside.

Admit it.

Andie Bell?

Don't be absurd.

Come on in.

What's happened, Pip?

- Are you okay? - [door closes]

You were sleeping with her. I know you were!

What would make you say that?

Jay Gatsby? Daisy Buchanan?

I really think you've let all of this get to you, Pip.

I'm fine!

Andie!

By all means, go on up.

I promise you, there's no one here but us.

You put this in my sleeping bag.

You were scared that I would uncover what really happened,

and poor Sal was accused of a murder that you committed!

Oh, Pip...

I didn't kill her.

Please, just let me tell you what happened.

Come and sit down.

[tense music fades out]

Andie was struggling at school.

Her home life was not good,

and her grades had started slipping.

She came to me for help,

just tutoring.

This was not long after Isabel had died and...

I was in a dark place.

Andie and I grew close and...

started a relationship.

You're disgusting.

It only happened a few times, and then she started seeing Sal.

We limped on for a bit, but then she called it off.

She said she was in love with him.

You were at the Ivy House Hotel with her just days before she went missing.

You're right, I was.

She said she wanted to see me.

At first, I thought she'd had a change of heart, but...

she wanted money.

Why?

I don't know, but I said no.

Then she left, but a few days later, she came to my house.

She told me if I didn't give her £5,000,

she would tell the world that I'd taken advantage of her.

Again, I said no, I wouldn't be blackmailed.

She went wild,

screaming and slapping.

I pushed her off.

She fell, hard.

Hit her head on the countertop.

It was bad. There was blood everywhere.

I went to get my phone to call an ambulance,

and when I came back, she was gone.

I never saw her again.

So you didn't kill her.

I didn't kill her.

I cared about her.

[pipes clanking]

[ominous music playing]

Let's get you home, Pip.

Yeah?

[steady clanking sound]

It's nothing, it's-it's just...

[urgent music playing]

[steady clanking sound]

Andie!

Andie?

Andie?

I'm not Andie.
