Cal's family owned half of Blackout.
Cal gave it me.
Oh, God, James. Do you know what this means?
It means you have a motive.
I have to tell you something
that you're not gonna want to hear.
It's about Rob. About Rob and Janine.
They rejected us, and you kept going back to them.
This is an ultimatum. You leave, or I go.
What about Rob?
I don't want to talk about Rob.
[DOOR OPENS]
You okay, son?
Can I have my phone call, please?
Difficult to decide who, isn't it?
My advice is phone someone
who'll keep you warm in there.
Let you sleep.
Save everything else till later.
[DIALING]
Hi.
It's me.
Okay, so, I've realized--
I've recently realized that, um--
that we--we belong together, and that the way--
the--actually, the-- Ah, shit.
I don't want to be with anyone else. We're Tina and Rob,
and I think that we should make that, uh--
I think we should make a commitment, and--Oh, fuck!
And I know it's unconventional, and I hope you don't think me rude
or anything like that, but I was wondering--
I was wondering if you could...
consider marrying me. What do you think?
Uh...
well, for starters,
the "fuck" and the "shit bits distracted me a bit.
Well, yeah, I'm gonna leave that bit out.
And secondly, you sound a bit...
A bit what? Um, well...
if you're asking me,
I think you should just keep it straight.
So...
"Hey, kid."
"Hey, kid"?
"Hey, kid. You and me--
"we're like kittens and milk.
"Or we're like...
Lego and super glue."You're a dick.
Why don't you just tell him you love him
and you want to be with him forever?
Yeah. That's probably it.
That is, if you do really love him
and you do want to be with him forever.
I've got a ring.
Ah. Heh!
[CHUCKLES]
It's not too wanky, but it's a little bit wanky.
Just like him. Ha ha!
Don't look at me like that. Rob is what I want.
For forever?What is wrong with that?
Nothing. What made you decide?
We're Rob and Tina. You know? Tina and Rob.
It's just...the way the world has always been.
So I--I thought we should make it official.
So this isn't definitely, 100% about Eli?
Do not make me regret telling you that.
I just want you to be happy for me.
Please?
If--If you think it's right,
then I think it's right.
[POP]
Ohh.[LAUGHTER]
Bollocks.
Look, I'm not saying this is a victory,
but it's a start at something.
And I just want to take this opportunity
to say thank you all.
Now, this one's been tricky,
and your work and dedication
and the free overtime you've all put in
has been much appreciated.
And I want to say a particular well-done
to young Ruth here.
CPS think we've got quite a case.
And it was good deductive.
It was good.
To Rosen.
[DOOR OPENS]
There you are. Hello.
You are aware
that there is a party going on in there...
without you?
Hey, the CPs are in.
We are a success.
I mean, we've got him.
You got him.
Just like I got Elizabeth.
No, I mean-- No, James is our man.
I can feel it. The CPS can feel it.
Look, Ruth...
Nobody's gonna cheer you when you fail.
Okay? So you have to celebrate the wins.
[CHUCKLES]
Shall I take you home?
I mean in a taxi.
I mean, shall I come home with you?
[LAUGHS] No, I didn't--
Wait, no I didn't mean-- I didn't--
What I meant was that I think that we--
you know, we should celebrate.
I mean properly celebrate, the two of us.
I'm gonna go-- gonna go home.
Well, then maybe another time.
Yeah.
Oh, um... she's sleeping.
How was she? Great.
She's funny.
[CHUCKLES]
I was quite surprised when you called.
You were the only one I could think of to do it.
[CASSIE CRYING OVER SPEAKER]
Oh, she's awake.
I'll get her.
Thank you.
[FOOTSTEPS]
She's settling.
There's someone I need to speak to.
Would you mind staying a little bit longer?
[RINGS]
[RINGING]
Hi.
Tina, I need to--
Please.
Can I--
Oh, okay.
Are you staying here or going to the bedroom?
Oh, you're staying here.
And I probably shouldn't have mentioned the bedroom word.
Okay, just pretend you never saw me.
I'm turning on some music.
[SOFT ROCK PLAYING]
So...look, I didn't think you wanted to see--
I know you don't want to see me.
And yet I'm here.
I'm glad you're here.
Really?
Yeah, I wanted to talk to you, too.
Right. No, I came for a reason--
Can we just keep the past in the past?
Can I just--Sorry, we'll get to that.
Okay, yeah.Um...
it's James. He needs me. He needs us.
He only had one phone call, and he phoned me.
He needs us to get something for him.
What does he want us to get?
His alibi. What?!
That night-- the night Cal died--
James never went home. He went to meet someone
to get a passport for Cal.
What did they need passports for?
A fake passport, because Cal's underage.
Okay, what did they need fake passports for?
They were leaving.
Cal was leaving?
Well, I mean, Cal and James were leaving.
They had planned a future.
They were in love.
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
Annie, please turn that off!
[MUSIC STOPS]
They were in love.
And I didn't know.
Well, I didn't know, either.
But listen, I've made contact with a dude,
and he can meet us tonight at00.
And if we persuade him to come to the police station,
then that's James' alibi, proof he's innocent,
and he can be free. Will you come?
We don't have to be boyfriend and girlfriend or anything like that.
I need you as a friend right now.
So what was it you were saying?
Nothing.
Please, are you in or out?
[SIGHS]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Look, I broke the bike.
Tina, the bike's broken, let me push it.
It's fine.
A man wearing a blue cap, yeah?
I know, you've told me 15 times.
All I'm saying is keep your eyes peeled.
Look at them.
Assume they're peeled from now on,
and never ask me again.
Rob, if this guy's watched the news at all,
he's not gonna turn up.
Nobody watches the fucking news anymore.
It'll be fine. He'll turn up,
and everything will be back to normal.
All right, now he is late.
Good idea?
Great idea.Heh.
You know why I love weed?
It makes everything a little more manageable.
Do you remember the first time you smoked it?
My 14th birthday.
It was your present to me.
You wrapped it in a matchbox.
We sat in a tree outside Ladbrokes.
You, me, Ruth...
Toby Amsbrook...
not James-- James was at school--
and a couple of other people.
I can't remember when I first.
I do remember my first "E", though.
New Year's Eve, I remember.
That was a good night.
First bit of cocaine, which...
also coincided with my first public urination charge.
Is it sad that you remember your life
through the drugs that you took?
Well, no, these are merely significant events
that have led to other events.
Like my first bike, first Mars bar.
You remember your first Mars bar?
Like it was yesterday.
First wank.
First successful wank.
Didn't go right the first time?
No end product.
Pfff.
First wank by another. That was you. Brilliant.
First blowjob. Also you.
Better than the wank.
[LAUGHS]
First sex.
First successful sex.
I'm really sorry.
I need to--I need to tell you that I'm sorry.
What are you apologizing for?
Fucking Janine or throwing the race?
What, you think I wouldn't find out?
Look, I'm-- I'm so sorry about--
It was a one-night thing. I just thought it'd be kinder
if I didn't say anything.
Well, now I know.
'Cause I've made mistakes, too,
and let's just forget about it and move on together--
I don't get it. You're supposed to be really angry.
I'm just saying that we've all made mistakes.
You keep saying that. What mistakes have you made?
I'm just being nice here, okay?
So just let me be nice.
Fuck, that's him.
Can I just say that-- the Janine thing,
I just fucked her. That was it. I didn't--
Oh, how romantic. Just go.
And--And--And I'm so sorry for everything--
Okay, I forgive you. Go.
You're here to meet James, yeah?
And you're not him.
Did you meet James here
on the night of the 28th?
Uh, yeah. at 4 a.m.?
He said you met here at 4 a.m.,
and you agreed to meet again here tonight.
Why are you sounding like a policeman?
Mate, James is in jail.
He needs you to come into the police station
and be his alibi.
I need to leave.Oi!
What's he going down for?
Murder.
Hey, James needs you!
I'll tell them who you are! They'll come after you!
And I'll burn everything and deny all knowledge.
You can get ten years for forgery!
Now, listen...
Shit.
We'll get him.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[PANTING]
Oh, shit.
We're splitting up. What?
You go that way. I'll go that way.
Oi!
[CLICK]
What?
Hey, can you give us a minute?
Yeah, no problem.
I can't think of anything to say.
I should've come sooner. I--
I meant to.
I was coming to see you that day to say sorry.
CPS have extended James' detention.
They...think he did it.
Which is not something I'm supposed to tell people.
Rob.
Yeah, where is he?
He's gone.
But I saw him drop these.
I can't help thinking about you.
I have some girl I barely know
looking after my child.
It's just there's no one else.
[INHALES SHARPLY]
I thought...
when you joined the police, that...
you'd get answers.
But you just get...
more doubt.
[HEART MONITOR BEEPING FASTER]
It's just guessing, really.
[LOUD BEEPING][GASPING]
Elizabeth?
[BEEPING CONTINUES]
Help!
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
What's going on?
No, wait! No, no, wait!
No, no, please!
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
No! What's wrong with her?
We don't know.
Well, look, I got a photo of him.
Maybe we can use prints off that.
Maybe, yeah.
I just don't get why he didn't stop, to be honest.
I know he'd get in trouble or whatever, but...
James is...
Sometimes it's hard to think about other people
when you're trying to save yourself, you know?
Yeah.
We take all this in and we get James out.
There are a lot of cows there.
James hates cows.
Maybe they wanted to be far away from here.
Maybe there they could...
be together and start a life together.
There they could be them
and...farm beef.
[LAUGHS]
Maybe that was worth the sacrifice to him.
Yeah? Yeah.
You know, I've got this theory on life,
and I call it "smooth adjustment".
It's basically... anything that happens to you,
you just adjust to it. So...
if you're an astronaut, you'll adjust to it.
If you're a semi-shit salesman,
you'll adjust to it.
If you're bitter, you're just gonna be bitter,
whether you're an astronaut or a semi-shit salesman.
Do you know what I mean?
Me, I like to set my sights low.
All I need are the basic necessities of life,
and I'll be okay.
Basic necessities being?
Food, a roof, weed, puss-ay and Mars bars.
And I'm the pussy, am I?
That's my point. You're not anything.
You're everything.
I know I get it wrong sometimes.
All right, a lot.
But, um...
I just get stuck.
What I'm trying to say is I would--
I'd farm cow-- I'd beef farm.
[LAUGHS]
I'd farm.
I'd touch cows in Argentina for you.
I'd adjust to that.
'Cause I think there's literally--
I'd more or less just do anything for you, Tina.
[BOTH LAUGH]
I like your face.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Rob. Yeah?
Will you marry me?
What?
[LAUGHS]
I didn't expect it to be like this.
But, um...
You, me...
in sickness and in health,
for better, for worse--
I'm the better, you're the worse.
What do you think?
[LAUGHS]
You don't want to?
Yeah, I-- I ruined your career.
You find out I shagged Janine, and--
and your response is to ask me to marry you?
Do you want to or not?
I just don't think--
Why not?
Look, I will let you do anything to me.
I'll let you handcuff me,
shove milk bottles up my arse.
But marriage--
you don't want to marry me.
Don't you think that's for me to work out?
This is wrong. I'm a fucking idiot,
and even I know this is wrong.
Don't follow me.Tina!
I mean it, Rob, don't fucking follow me.
[CHATTER AND LAUGHTER]
[DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS]
Hey, Rob. Hey.
Uh, thank you.
Thank you for this.
Really very interesting, but...
we can't release James.
But he has an alibi. This is--
This proves--
Can you not run--
Can you not run the face through a database
and find him, nab him?
Do you think we have a database
with pictures of everyone in Britain?
I know you do.You're wrong, we don't.
Do you want to take a seat?
So all we have as an alibi
is your word that you met a man with a blurred face
who might or might not have been with him.
James has lied to us consistently.
As have you, incidentally.
These documents prove--
This forged illegal document
proves only that they probably were leaving together.
Yeah, but that matters, surely--
that they were in love.
He was gonna change his life for him.
He wouldn't have hurt him.
Do you think if you love someone, you don't hurt them?
There was a contract for a horse.
A valuable horse.
James was trying to destroy that contract,
and the only way he could destroy it, as it turns out,
was by destroying Cal.
I'm saying too much, aren't I?
I'm not technically on duty.
Ignore me. I've had a bit of a drink.
So I think James did this,
and I think that you're covering up for him.
And I understand why.
But you're wrong to.
I think we--
I--
have our man.
I thought this case would break me.
But it didn't, though, did it?
It didn't.
[SOBS]
You should come home...to us.
You should live with us.
I think things can be better for you with us.
I need to go now.
They'll be waiting for me.
Worried for me.
And I think it's good to have people worry for you.
Isn't it?
[DOOR CLOSES]
Hi.
Can't sleep neither?
No.
It's funny, isn't it--
that it's here that we come?
No matter how we're feeling, it's here.
You disappeared again.
Yeah.
You fell asleep pretty quick.
I did.
Quite rude of you.
Quite male.
If you hadn't have slept,
I wouldn't have been able to escape.
Escape?
Maybe that's the wrong word.
I couldn't cope with it, so I left.
Still can't cope with it, to be honest with you.
[CHUCKLES]
Is that supposed to be okay?
What if it was more scary for me than it was for you?
I don't understand.
Don't you think it's a bit--
a bit wrong, you ain't thinking none of that?
My head-- do you have any idea
what it's like in my head--
the fucking noise of it?
And then one good thing happens,
you happen, and I wake up,
and that gets taken away, too.
I never done that before.
And you knew that, right?
You know, all the Romany boys,
there's a place where we can go up in the woods.
A house. Dance with the gorja girls,
fuck the gorja girls.
I didn't want to do that.
I wanted it to count.
And you do count.
And you left.
And that weren't fair.
Eli.
She'll turn up.
She asked me to marry her.
I know.
Absolutely terrible idea.
I know, that's what I said.
She didn't like that. That's...
right about the time she left.
Can I stay until she comes back, please?
[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]
Um, it's Tina.
Tina. Annie said I could come instead.
Tina--
I just want to be alone.
Please, I just want to talk.
Tina, please.
This night's been shit enough already.
I mean, Rob! Fuck off!
Fuck.
Tina!
It's pissing it down here!
Where are you?
[THUNDER]
[THUD]
[CLATTER]
Is someone--
[THUD]
Is someone there?
[THUD]Rob if that's fucking you, I--
[CLATTER]
[THUD]
Fuck!
Are you okay?
Cal and me would come up here sometimes
when my mum wasn't at her best
and Eli was pissing him off.
Tina, this place is creeping the fuck out of me.
It looks like someone's been living here.
Eli hated us being here.
[THUNDER]
He found us once.
I'm not leaving.
You can leave if you like.
I'm staying. I like it here.
I used to think I was so lucky being brought up here.
But you know what? It's shit.
No wonder Cal wanted out.
I mean, what is James
if he ain't a fucking symptom of the place,
a diseased fucking symptom?
You think he did it, then?
The police didn't give a fuck about the alibi.
Apparently, I'm not trustworthy.
Which is something you could also prove.
You know, I re--
I remember very clearly
the first time I thought we were gonna go out.
School trip to Calais.
One of the boys dared you to buy--
What's that metal, serrated-edge thing that you throw--
A ninja star.
And you knew it was illegal to take it back to Britain,
but you did it anyway.
Hid it in your sock.
And we were on the boat trip back,
and I sat by you.
And we went to the deck to see the sea.
I always loved the sea.
And you were sat there.
And I sat beside you.
And your sock was covered in blood.
And I asked you what had caused your sock
to be covered in blood.
And you took out your ninja star
and said you were hiding it
but forgot it was sharp.
Your ankle was cut to pieces.
And you said...
"I know it'll look suspicious,
"my sock bleeding.
"But...
"I couldn't think where else to put it.
"I mean, they check your bags
"and pockets and--
and I don't want to put it down my pants, do I?"
[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHS]
I--
I thought that was so funny.
[LAUGHS]
I think I laughed for about five minutes.
And you--
you really laughed, too.
Yeah. Together, we threw the ninja star in the sea.
I just thought you were so sweet.
All the other boys pretended to know everything,
but you never pretended to know anything.
And that's an attractive quality?
It was.
I guess...
unknowingness has its sell-by date.
You don't want to marry me.
Why did you ask?
Because...
the job I love is gone.
You lost me it.
Because the boy I loved
was taken from me.
And because I fucked Eli yesterday,
and it's been freaking me out ever since.
[STANDS UP]
Hmm.
[SNIFFLES]
Aaaaah!
Tina!
[TINA WHIMPERS]
[SOBBING]
[POLICE RADIO CHATTERING]
If you'd just read through your statement.
And then if you agree with it, just sign it
at the bottom.
It was your friend, wasn't it?
The guy who died was your friend.
Yeah.
Ian.
Will your people let James out now?
I'm just here to check that you're all right with your statement.
Okay.
Yes.
Sorry.
[SIGHS]
I didn't thank you for...
telling me the truth about Rob. So...
thank you.
She died.
Elizabeth Marshall died a few hours ago.
So we're now looking at three murders.
[CASSIE BABBLING]
Ruth...
did you bring your child to a crime scene?
Tina...
do you think that, um...
she looks like him?
My mum's gone.
Where?
I don't know.
This is all such a mess, isn't it?
[CASSIE BABBLING]
No.
She doesn't look like him.
I've gotta go.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I've always wondered what it'd be like to see a dead body.
I saw my dad's.
How was that?
He didn't really look that dead
until you looked at him for a long time.
James didn't do it.
The body was too fresh.
I've seen 16 horses killed.
That was a fresh kill.
So he's innocent, then?
I hope they find the killer.
Will they let James out now?
Can we talk about something else?
[CLEARS THROAT]
Okay.
All right, so I've been having this dream.
I'm sitting in this apple orchard,
and--and then one of these apples hatches
right by my head.
Yeah, it literally breaks open,
like it's hollow.
And a bird flies out.
And then suddenly all the apples start hatching.
[GASPS]
A flock of apple birds!
You can take the piss if you want.
But I felt such happiness.
Like I'm the happiest I've ever been.
And then a shot breaks out,
and one of the birds falls from the sky.
And then another.
And then constant bullets.
And I turn around, and...
you'll never guess who's holding the gun.
Me.
No!
No, you weren't.
So who was holding the gun?
Me.
I was holding the gun.[LAUGHS]
Egotistic, even in your dreams.
It really fucked me up.
What do you think it means?
It means you're a knobhead.
Okay.
[LAUGHS]
Okay, knobhead I'll take.
It really is beautiful here, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's astonishing.
You do love him--Eli?
If you're unsure, if that's what scares you,
then you do.
Do I?
Yeah, I'm actually pretty sure about that.
[CHUCKLES]
You know, you've always loved him.
I've--I've always known.
Don't get me wrong, I've wanted to keep you.
I sort of hoped you'd never work it out.
But I've always known.
You should go to him, you know.
You should go to Eli.
Right, then.
We need to talk.
The contract's been found.
I didn't even know it existed.
You're supervising officer was killed.
You're off the case.
Oi!
He told me I love Eli.
You do love Eli.
So you're leaving? Why?
