The guy who died was your friend. Yeah. Ian.
Elizabeth Marshall died a few hours ago.
So now we're looking at three murders.
Cal's family owned half of Blackout.
We were gonna use it, go away.
Will you marry me?I ruin your career,
and your response is to ask me to marry you?
Why did you ask?
'Cause I fucked Eli yesterday,
and it's been freaking me out ever since.
You do love him--Eli.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
What happened to both of you?
Cal said I could never say.
[MUFFLED, ECHOING CHATTER]
Ruth.
Ian Salter, 28 years old.
Sergeant, good service record.
Sociable and active within the community.
Lived alone, kept himself to himself.
No relationships that we're aware of.
Ruth: George. Sir.
There are flowers all over our desks.
You don't have to be in today. You're aware of that.
[SIGHS] I wanted to be in today.
Fine. Well, I can give you an arson.
I've got a domestic abuse,
got a horse poisoning.
No, do this.
It's an RTA on the Old Bristol Road.
We need some witness statements followed up on.
But I'm on the MIT.
That's their problem now.
Your supervising officer was killed.
You're off the case. They can't keep you on.
I'll give you the choice. You can take whichever file you want.
You're not on the MIT anymore.
You're one of mine.
I thought it was you.
I'm sorry?
You've got your hair different.
But you've always changed it quite a lot.
I don't know who you are.
I'm Mary, Ian's sister.
Oh.
Hi. I'm so sorry.
For the newspapers.
I was told to pick one I liked,
one he looked handsome in.
But I'm his sister.
What do I know about that?
Can you help?
You always looked so happy together.
We were so glad he'd found a girlfriend like you.
Coming home or going out?
Coming home.
You always get the nasty shifts, don't you?
It's because people take advantage of my better nature.
I'm okay.
You sure? It's no weight off.
I've got a multi-pack in my bag.
[GROANS]
About Tina...
I would say that you could do better, but...
I think she's the best thing in the world, so...
You're right.
Hey, you ever wondered why haven't we ever hooked up?
[LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY]
No.
'Cause you're on my list
now I'm a free man.
You're in my top five.
Thank you.
So much. Ha!
Wow, top five.Yeah.
Top five in no particular order: James' sister Bee--
I really don't want to listen to the list.
Joyce, obviously.Tina's mum?
Ooh, that woman does things to me.
I really can't listen to any of this.
It's more of a top three, actually.
'Cause, honestly, you and them-- that's all I want.
Okay, please stop, please stop, please stop,
please stop.
You're like my ambition.
No?
You sure, babe?
Not even lunch?
Hi.
Marah says you're staying for a few days.
I need someone to look after Cassie while I'm working.
And you want to be here?
And I think I want to be here, yeah.
That's good.
You're welcome.
I don't think I can find Cal's killer, Eli.
I thought I knew where to look,
but everywhere I looked was wrong.
And now Ian's dead.
And nothing makes sense.
I'm off the case,
back doing the shitty jobs.
You weren't here when my mum died, were you?
We went together, 20 of us,
to scatter her up on the Moon Horse.
Burned fires all night.
Everyone told me then that there were things to be found.
I tried looking, but I couldn't see fuck all.
Until one day.
We don't yet see things clearly.
We're squinting in the fog,
peering through the mist.
What, is that a Romany saying?
No, Bible.
Corinthians.
I always liked the Bible.
You seem stronger.
The mist has cleared a bit...for me.
It's starting to clear.
It's shifted.
Safe to approach?
Safe to approach.
Not one of them's a patch on you.
Safe to approach,
not safe to say unnecessary shit.
I tried, Tina.
I tried to find you another ride.
Phoned around everyone I knew. No one's biting.
But give it time, and--
And what?
I'll still be the girl
who threw the race she should've won, right?
You're gonna be okay, you know.
That probably means fuck all coming from me,
but you are.
I'm asking you, Tina.
Don't make me the one that ruined your life.
You're better than that.
I was worried...
I'd got the black eye and you hadn't.
No, I got one and all.
They put me on a charge for that--
taken away my TV.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I wasn't sure what to bring you,
so I brought you some chocolate
and some fags.
And I brought you a porno.
Cushty. That'll do fine.
Is that why you're here, is it?
[SPEAKING ROMANY]
Do you, um--
Do you remember this?
From the time we drove down to Kent that summer.
Three years before we lost her.
Ohh.
It was a happy time, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, your mum was on the slide, even then.
And Cal got into some shit with the locals.
No, I remember it being happy.
You didn't hit her or me the whole holiday.
A policeman come to see me yesterday.
A contract's been found.
Granddad signed it.
Part ownership of a racehorse.
Blackout.
They found that contract?
You knew about it, did you?
Yeah. I didn't.
It'd been signed over...
by Granddad to Cal and me.
With him gone, I get half the horse.
With, um, Jackie Warwick
owning the other half.
How much is it worth?
Its worth don't matter. It's not my horse.
It's Tina Fallon's. She loves it.
I signed it over to her.
[SCOFFS]
You've done what?
And that's why I come here today.
To tell you that anything you thought was coming to you, ain't.
You're in as much shit when you get out of here
as you were when you come in.
I'm not gonna be visiting again.
You didn't visit before.
Listen...
with Mum gone, with Cal gone,
you can consider your whole fucking family gone.
That horse should've been mine.
Turns out it shouldn't have.
Turns out you got nothin', Dad.
You weren't built for our life.
I see no shame in that.
I'm saying, people who think your silence is strength--
they don't know you.
You're one of the weakest people I know.
[CHUCKLES]
Stay safe, Dad.
And this is going to be...
I'm calling it a "jarf".
A "jarf"?
Yeah, halfway between a jumper and a scarf.
It's quite experimental.
Or it could be called a "scumper".
But I prefer "jarf".
It's called a "jarf".
Have you eaten today?
I have not.
Do you intend to?Not today.
I don't know what to do.
About what? Everything.
Have you seen him?
Which "him" are we talking about?
Rob or Eli?
I've seen Rob. I haven't seen Eli.
How's Rob?
Very...
noisy.
He's looking firmly to the future, I'd say.
He told me I love Eli.
You do love Eli.
I've fucked it with him, haven't I?
People are surprisingly resilient
in matters of the heart.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
That's a bit--
Why don't they use the doorbell?
Knocking is more dramatic?
We need to talk.
Okay.
We open at 3:00, not before.
Better come in, then.
Um...I don't understand.
This is an arson, right?Right.
Well...
it just, um...
doesn't seem like anything's been burnt.
Can't you smell it?
Smell what?Petrol.
So it's an attempted arson?
You'll see.
CCTV last night.
There.
You see?
Ran off before I had a chance to get him.
But I know him. Chris Pollard's his name.
He's tried it twice before.
But you people, you keep letting him off.
I know it's 'cause Ian says
you want people to better themselves,
but we both know it's cowardice, pure and simple.
Ian Salter... investigated it?
Investigated here.
Won a few trophies here.
Nice lad, but a bit soft, you know?
Do you want his address--the kid's?
What, you know where he lives?
Yeah.
He lives in one of those care homes.
I told Ian.
You lot did nothing.
Sorry about the cup. It's got a chip in it.
Um, Annie adopted a stray cat.
It didn't like china very much.
Are you okay, Jackie?
Oh, it's--
it's been a long couple of days.
James is going to need money
if there's a case.
That means we need to talk
about what you're going to do with your share.
My share of what?
Blackout.
What share of Blackout?
You don't know? Ohh.
I didn't even know it existed.
James did, apparently.
I thought I owned her.
But it's been verified, and...
I've been told I'll just have to deal with it,
so that's what I'm doing.
I'm here trying to deal with it.
Deal with what?
The contract.
The contract my wonderful husband signed
with the Bray family.
Half ownership of Blackout
in exchange for some gambling debts.
The Brays own Blackout?
Half of her.
Eli is supposed to benefit.
Only he's-- he's given it--
his half--to you.
So we need to work out
what you are going to do with it.
[EXHALES]
[KNOCKS]
All right?
Hey, hi. Who's in charge here?
That's a fucking good question.
I need to speak to Chris Pollard.
Okay. And what should I tell him?
You can just tell me where he is.
Number three.
He's in room number three.
Oi!
Stop!
Chris!
Stop! Wait!
You can't just do that-- burn things down!
Do you know what that place is?
Get me Sergeant Salter.
He'll deal with this.
I can't get you Ian.
Just talk to me.
Leave me alone.
I don't do cops.
Come back!
Tell me about Ian!
Annie: Any luck?
He's not in his van, he's not at the stables.
I don't know where else to look, Annie.
Don't worry. You'll find him.
Yeah, okay.
I'm not sure whether I should say something.
Hi.
I'm not sure whether I should say something now.
You know, like normal people just say hi...
as you just proved.
Do I say hi? Just 'cause we're normal--
we're normal friends?
Yeah, we are.
Are you all right? Are you acting weird 'cause I'm here
or 'cause of something else?
My life has changed.
My life's always changing.
Sometimes I wish I could just
take a holiday away from it, you know?
Step outside for a bit.
Come back when I'm a bigger boy.
What's changed this time?
Have you seen Eli?
[CHUCKLES]
That's bold.
It's like that, yeah? You're just gonna...
stab me with a pikestaff.
I'm the previous one. "Have you seen the next one?"
Have you seen him, Rob?
'Cause I really do need to talk to him.
Okay, this is gonna sound really weird,
but I can see him now.
What, you're not gonna shout,
stop him or whatever?
Are you even gonna--
Eli!
Okay, this is way more awkward than I thought.
I'm just gonna-- I'm gonna go now.
You gave me Blackout?
Just my half.
You gave me your half of Blackout?
The horse is yours.
But you hated me. I left you at those stables.
I actually walked away from you.
Yeah, you did.
What--I didn't even know you owned--
You hate me. Why would you give me Blackout?
You're not listening to me, Tina.
The horse is yours. Always has been.
And how I feel about you, how you feel about me,
it don't matter.But I--
Struggle to stop you riding her now, won't they?
Which is good.
Eli.
I've said what I wanted to say.
Just look after the horse.
Eli.
Don't. Not just 'cause I give you the horse. Please.
Do you really think--
don't be so fucking stupid?
Your romance is always a bit of an attack.
Are you going somewhere?
What are you doing now?
Where are you going?
I've got somewhere I want to show you.
Fuck it.
Fuck.
Wait.
Climbing in?Yep
Sorry, no tinkers.
Shut up.
I'm not a fucking tinker.
No but you're a gypsy.
You're a gorja girl.
[LAUGHS]
Walls are good. No damp.
Electric's, uh... very wiry.
Is that your mum?
I can't believe you didn't tell me.
The council gave you a house.
This is, um...
good beam. Mm-hmm.
Really firm.
It's a really good beam.
Really good beam. Careful.
You're living on the edge.
[LAUGHS]
I'm testing. You've gotta test.
[STOMPING]Sounds good.
Don't even--Look. Not even a creak.
You're gonna break them.
I'm doing you a favor. You don't want to live just anywhere.
But I'm not gonna live here, though, am I?
All this weren't for me.
It was for Cal.
Cal?
The council didn't think the site fit for him.
They were talking about sending him back to the home.
He was almost old enough to look after himself.
They didn't think so.
I'm not gonna let them do it to me again.
So you're gonna live here on your own?
With your pictures of your mum?
This was my future.
It's where me and Cal belong.
It's all I've got.
I needed you to see it.
I needed to see it before I...
Before you what?
Dark and mysterious is only gonna get you so far.
Yeah?
Where's the bedroom?
It's upstairs.
Okay.
So, we're releasing you
on conditional police bail.
I'm gonna talk you th--
James, look at me.
I'm gonna talk you through what happens now.
You're being released on conditional police bail
pending further inquiries.
You must surrender your passport
and reside only at your home address.
Do you understand that?
James, look at me, son.
You need to look at me.
I can't let you go
until I'm sure you understand this.
You understand?
[KEYPAD BEEPING]
Rob: Wasn't sure which mode of transport to bring.
I considered nicking my dad's car,
but driving without a license into a police station
is a step too far, even for me.
So I settled for skateboards.
Old school, I know. But it made me happy.
Do you remember when we used to go to the ramp at Newbury.
Where those older kids would look at us like we were dicks
'cause we were trying to do flips?
I think I can still do a kick flip actually.
Ohh.
No. Maybe not.
[SKATEBOARD CLATTERING]
[SOBBING]
James.
Sorry. No, no, why?
Honestly, I'd be crying.
Crying's okay.
Today I feel like crying a bit, too, actually.
This is Officer Rosen.
I'm just following up on the arson.
Could you get a me a list of all arrests made
at Kintbury Snooker Club?
Control: Received, Officer Rosen.
And of all arrests made of minors
by Ian Salter in the last five years.
Could you repeat that?
It's a cross-referencing thing.
Understood. I'll get right on it.
Over.
Control: Officer Rosen, come in.
Go ahead.
That information you were after.
There have been a number of arrests at the snooker club.
No convictions.
And Sergeant Salter's sheet for minors
is pretty lengthy, actually.
Any name you want to particularly identify?
Chris Pollard.
Three arrests, no charges.
Caleb Bray?
Yes. Four arrests, no charges.
And who countersigned?
All signed off by Inspector George Tomkins.
What's that?
What?
That.
That...
is from where Black
dumped me in a hedge.
I got a piece of wood this big through it.
Yeah? A baby scratch.
A baby scratch?!
All right, then.
This.
That? Yeah.
That's your arse.
Barbed wire.
From that horrible half-breed.
Dominic tried to persuade me
I could ride him a bit,
and he threw me off my saddle...
and dragged me along a barbed wire fence.
Don't laugh.
Ohh.
It's a nice arse,
but the scar's nothing to brag about.
You see that? Yeah.
You see it?Yeah.
When I went to hospital, they said I should be dead.
How nice is that?
I don't remember.
It's before your time.
Let me guess-- Tiny Pete
or Kelsey Grange?
No, it was my dad.
When I was seven, he hit me with a brick.
You know, sometimes you can't stop it--
what's been, what's coming.
I've got to get out of here.
Why?
Because this place is killing me.
Let's get out, let's go together.
And go where?
I don't know. Wherever there's horses, we'll get work.
Let's go tonight.
We're young. There's nothing keeping us here.
You've got Blackout.
And I love that horse.
But I love you more.
I can lose anything, Eli,
but I can't lose you.
Look at me.
Look in my eyes.
You can see it in my eyes.
Trust that.
[SPEAKING ROMANY]
What does it mean?
It means "God is good,
but the Devil's not so bad to those he likes."
And there was me thinking
you were telling me you loved me
in your crazy, exotic way.
I was.
I'm ready to go with you.
George: What the fuck do you think you're doing?
What?
You're on probation. You don't get to check
other people's arrest records,
and you certainly don't get to come here.
I'm just looking, sir.
I don't see any harm in just looking.
I put you on the wrong case, didn't I?
How stupid of me.
Stupid of you, why?
What happened at that pool hall?
Absolutely nothing, as far as I'm aware.
What did those kids have on Ian?
You know, I don't dislike you, Ruth,
but you have a lot to learn--
the main thing being that you're young
and you don't know it.
Now, this is a sophisticated matter,
so let's just leave it.
What did you let happen, sir?
Was Ian...with kids?
Was he harming children, sir?
He put a stop to it.
What? And you--
were you part of it as well?
No. No.
It's no use slinging mud at a dead man.
And if you do try and sling mud at me,
I've got a perfect record,
and you're just a probationer
with a history of being a pain in the arse.
When did you know?
Do you know how hard it is to run these country nicks,
keep them going? Do you?
'Cause I run a good nick.
And then if this comes out,
all I become, and all we become,
is just that place where the copper fucked those boys.
Well, I'm not having that.
You knew.
All this stuff--
you knew.
And you let it happen.
What, you just wanted everyone to think
you run the perfect station.
I watched him so carefully.
I've watched him so carefully, Ruth.
You couldn't say anything.
Cal died, and you were too deep in your lies
to do anything about Ian!
He didn't do that.Of course he did!
And I didn't do anything to help him.
Cal's death-- Elizabeth--
You can't prove anything.
It's your word against mine--
[SPITS]
I'm having your badge for that.
Keep your fucking badge.
You won't prove anything, Ruth.
Then what are you so scared of?
Ruth.
Bit of a brew?
Bit of a brew for two?
Oh, that's new.
Bit of a brew for two.
I'm a fuckin' poet.
You are the freestyle king.
I am the freestyle king.
I'd miss this if I went away.
Which bit?
All of it.
The house, the farm.
Argentina, mate. I know.
It's a long way away.
It was his idea.
Yeah, you went along with it.
I'd have gone anywhere for him.
Hmm.
Me and Tina are done, by the way.
Toast.
It was bound to happen sometime, really.
She loves Eli, and...
I fundamentally love myself.
That's a succinct way to put it.
So we're both single now.
We are.
I mean, I'm not so sure I'd be into the bumming thing,
but a hand job every now and again
might keep my spirits up.
Just to be clear,
just because I'm gay,
I don't find you attractive in any single way.
In any single way?
There isn't anything about you
that turns me on.
What--What about my fine body?
My beautiful hair. What about my ears?
You want me to have fantasized about you?
Do you know how many women in my life
I've fantasized about?
Your mum-- I've fantasized about her.
That was a great wank. Your sister.
Oh, the things I've imagined doing to her.
You've really not had one little naughty thought about me?
To be honest, mate, I think you're being a bit racist.
And as a member of a minority--
Oh, welcome to the minority club, by the way.
You know, you should know better, really.
This is good. I think this is good.
Time for a new start.
For both of us, really.
A new start under old skies.
That's the cheesiest fucking thing you've ever said.
And you've said some cheesy things.
Fuck you. Fuck you.
Mate, you're in for it now.
I'm gonna tell you all the things
I imagined doing to your sister.
Thing vinegar. Thing chains.
Hey! A squirrel.
A squirrel's quite a sexual animal, actually.
A squirrel doing amazing things to your sister's anus.
Shut your mouth.
[LAUGHING AND SHOUTING]
I don't understand.
What's to understand?
Your leaving.
Can you use that?
No, it's tiny.
Bin it, then.
You can't just leave.I can.
No, you can't. Tina.
You can't just leave me.
Tina Fallon-- she's got two speeds.
Go as fast as possible or stop.
I am right about this, though, aren't I?
Yeah.
You are, as it goes.
Chris?
No, she's safe, she's safe, she's safe.
She's a cop. Yeah.
But she's one of us. She's safe.
Ruth: Eli, we need to talk.
Alone.
Do we?
Yeah.
Leave it to us, would you?
Why didn't you tell me?
What didn't I tell you what?
Why didn't you tell me he was dead?
Now just go.
So you're leaving.
Yeah.
Going where?
Ireland, to start with.
Tina's idea.
Catching a train tonight.
Then getting a ferry from somewhere in Wales.
You're going with Tina?Yeah.
Why?
Why are you going now?
Just don't want to be here no more.
And Tina?
Why is she going?
'Cause she loves me.
This mist has cleared.
Something like that.
You got there before me.
Got where?
Ian.
Ian killed Cal.
He abused him.
And he thought he was gonna get found out,
so he killed him.
And I don't know how Elizabeth found out.
Maybe she just always knew.
Maybe she recognized him
when she came into custody.
He confronted her...
and killed her by accident.
And then you--
you killed Ian.
Didn't you?
There's your mist.
And before you say anything else,
consider this one very carefully.
And don't lie to me.
This is yours.
How did you get this?
I knew it was bad in there.
I didn't know how bad.
Not until I started reading that.
I tried figuring out for myself.
He hung around that home.
Ian polluted them all.
My brother--you look at those photos,
you see the way that his eyes change.
And then he went to that place,
that pool hall, and he sold himself.
People say it's difficult,
taking a life. It's not.
It's easy.
Just like that. [SNAPS FINGERS]
I'd do it again.
I'll kill that animal every day of the fucking week,
'cause how could you not want to set that right?
I don't know, Eli.
I used to think I could see people,
to see who they were.
But Ian--
and now you.
Can I ask you one favor?
Will you let me tell Tina...
before you take me in?
Everyone else, I don't give a shit about.
But Tina-- I need to tell her.
You love her?
Always have.
[SPEAKING ROMANY]
That's what we were always taught, right?
Yeah.
Just go.
Just get out, just go. Find a new life with Tina.
You're the law.Yeah, I was.
So was Ian.
But I'm making a choice to be different.
Cal was trying to make a new start.
And, well, don't you deserve to make a new start as well?
You said I need to make a choice, and I'm making one.
So just go.
Just go now.
What do you mean, Cal tried to make a new start?
Part of James trying to convince us he was innocent.
They had tickets together.
Cal was going to Argentina with James?
What, you knew he was going to Argentina?
Not with James.
Well, they were sweet together, really.
I think they genuinely loved each other.
Cal made them these pendants of the Moon Horse.
The Moon Horse?
What does that matter now?
You've got 30 minutes, Eli.
So get to the train station.
