Sorry, who are you? John.
I was in school with Ifan.
We're arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Ifan Williams.
We can't proceed unless the claimant is present.
I asked them to reschedule the meeting.
He forgot to vaccinate the herd, that's all.
It was stressful for us all and money was tight.
Hang on! I'm short. You've been late time after time.
You applied for a job without telling me.
I don't see how this changes things. Things have already changed.
DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
I appreciate that but I'm not going to be able to make it this month.
I'm late getting paid.
Come on! There must be something you can do.
I've been with you for years. Always paid.
I'm just asking for a few weeks.
Thanks for fucking nothing.
Sion?
If you want a lift to work, I'm leaving in five minutes.
(FATHER McEWAN) Remember that your compassion, O Lord...
..and your kindness are from of old.
Remember not the sins of my youth nor my transgressions.
According to thy mercy remember thou me...
..for thy goodness' sake, o Lord.
(CONGREGATION) Teach me your ways, O Lord.
Good and upright is the Lord.
Therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
The meek will he guide in judgment and the meek will he teach his way.
(CONGREGATION) Teach me your ways, O Lord.
Allelujah!
(CONGREGATION) Allelujah!
Surely, it doesn't take that long?
Yes, I understand that but...
OK, as soon as the results are in, send them through to me.
DCI Cadi John.
My e-mail's on the system.
Forensics.
It's still early. They're probably not in yet.
I've been going through those LIO reports.
Ifan Williams was arrested for underage driving.
I want to go up to the farm.
Come on then!
Have I got time for a coffee? No!
KNOCK ON DOOR
Good morning.
Come in.
Is it him? The Polish man?
If you mean Piotr Korecki...
..he's still in custody but our investigations are ongoing.
I've been trying to remember.
Last summer...
..Ifan had a few men working on the farm.
But...
..I don't recognise the name.
Ifan never mentioned him.
What was Ifan like?
I don't understand what you mean.
We're trying to understand more about Ifan's life...
..and it would help us to get a sense of who he was.
How do you describe your own son?
It's impossible.
Were he and his father similar?
No...!
No.
We saw that Ifan was arrested for underage driving.
That was nothing.
John and Ifan were just driving the Land Rover.
John?
John Lloyd.
Ifan's friend.
Farmers' sons have to help.
They use machinery. They drive.
No-one gets charged for it. It's just the way it is.
After your husband passed away...
..there were a few problems on the farm.
Ifan was handling it.
Was he?
Yes.
The key to working somewhere like this...
..to living somewhere like this...
..is learning which battles are worth fighting...
..and which are better left alone.
Learning when to bite your tongue.
You phoned DEFRA, didn't you?
As you said, there were standards to be kept.
You couldn't bite your tongue any more...
..so you made an anonymous complaint, didn't you?
And what if I did?
What choice did I have?
It was like watching Dai disappearing again.
I did everything I could...
..everything in my power to help Ifan...
..but the stock was suffering...
..and he was doing nothing about it.
What choice did I have?
Always thought he was the dog's bollocks.
Yeah but would he go that far? You don't know his story, do you?
They let them into the country and fuck knows where they're from.
What are you talking about?
What's your problem?
People talking shit about things they know nothing about.
Sion, leave it.
You and Polish boy are best mates now?
Last time I checked, you were eyeballing each other.
If you ask me, they should string the fucker up.
Hey! Hey!
Fuck! Think you're a big man?
You're fuck all, mate. Fuck all!
Sion!
Oy!
What the fuck's going on here? Nothing, boss.
I'm sick of this shit.
You, get back to work!
You, go and fucking cool off.
He started... I don't want to fucking hear it.
I said go... now!
That stuff'll kill you.
Says you!
I usually get a sense of who they were.
The victims.
It's like nobody really knew Ifan.
His wife.
Even his mother thought he was someone he wasn't.
Maybe he didn't know who he was.
There must've been someone who was close to him.
Someone he didn't cross. His mate - John Lloyd?
Mm. It's worth having a chat to him.
Friendships usually end for a reason.
Vaughan...
..I need to tell you something.
That doesn't sound great.
I've been offered a job.
Detective Super.
At Merseyside.
They want me to start immediately.
That's amazing.
It really is.
I'm so pleased for you, Cadi.
I'll bloody miss you though.
Who's going to nag me about my eating habits?
Why am I sensing there's a hitch?
There's no hitch.
Not really.
I've made a complete mess of things with Rachel...
..and I don't know how to fix it.
She's not on board with this?
I didn't give her a chance to get on board...
..and now it's too late.
I may not be the best person to offer advice...
..but...
..don't give up on her, Cadi.
If it's what you want.
If the past year's taught me anything...
..it's that.
But nobody told me anything.
I've sent several letters over the past few months.
I didn't see them.
They were sent to your address.
I can't give you anything on account until the bill's been paid.
But I need the feed today.
I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do.
The animals can't just wait...!
What if I give you cash?
Would that work?
Look, pay me for what you need now.
I'll give you until the end of next week to settle the rest, OK?
I'll get it to you.
Glyn, can you carry a sack of feed out to Mrs Williams's car, please?
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
About what? About your husband.
My mum died too and I was sad for a long time...
..but I'm better now.
Thank you.
ENGINE STARTS
Is it safe to come in?
They should've burned all of this.
These medical notes.
Shown some respect.
These are people's lives. People's details.
Nobody will see them. That's not the point.
The only people who keep track of you from birth to death...
..are doctors and priests.
It's only paper. No, it isn't.
It's people's trust.
It's people's confidence.
It's not just papers, it's people's lives.
You know...
..you play by the rules...
..and you expect things to get better.
You think that one day you'll be seen.
You'll feel valued.
Sion, mate...
You think if you stand in the queue long enough you'll get to the front.
It doesn't work like that.
We're just pieces of paper that people have walked on.
Filed...
..and forgotten.
Left behind.
GLASS BOTTLES CLINKING
DOOR CLOSES
I'll make us a coffee, shall I?
The Housing Association appointment is at twelve thirty.
Maybe you can take a shower?
Let's not miss it this time, eh?
I need you to find a John Lloyd for me.
He was in the same school year as Ifan Williams.
SHE TAPS ON THE GLASS
How are you getting on?
We spoke to Ifan's mother today.
She called in the animal abuse. She shopped her own son?
Mm.
It can't have been easy for her.
It was a desperate measure...
..to try to protect whatever legacy was left on the farm.
Other than that...
..there's a former farm worker.
Discarded by Ifan.
A pattern of behaviour, you think? Maybe.
KNOCK ON DOOR
Forensics came back at last.
Piotr is clean.
At least we can eliminate him.
Where does that leave us?
We need to start again.
We've missed something.
There's something about that family, his upbringing...
..that just doesn't sit right.
SHE TAPS ON THE CALCULATOR KEYS
DOOR CLOSES
What did they want this morning?
The police. What did they want? Nothing.
When were you going to tell me? Tell you what?
I just had a call from the valuers.
They had no right to call you. He's an old friend.
Of course he'll contact me when you ask him to value the land.
When you ask him to sell it from under us.
We have no choice.
Selling something you've only had your hands on for a few years.
We have no choice. Selling Guto's future.
We have no choice!
Do you have any idea how much debt we're in?
Do you have any idea how far down Ifan ground this place?
Farms are always in and out of debt. Not like this!
Why won't you see what's right in front of your eyes?
And now that he's gone...
..the debt's in my name.
If we sell now, we'll have nothing.
And I mean nothing.
We'll clear the debts and we'll be back at the beginning.
This is what he left us with.
All those years.
Generations.
For what?
I went to the feed place today.
They've closed our account.
I had to pay cash in front of everyone.
Nobody trusted him.
Because of that, nobody trusts us. Of course they do.
Mair! Nobody trusts us.
I've got to pick Guto up.
I'm sorry, Mair. I really am.
I can't do this any more.
DOOR CLOSES
Thomas, a word please.
That's you paid till the end of the day.
Take it and go.
You're sacking me? Looks like it.
What the fuck did you expect? I need this job.
I haven't got time to deal with wasters like you.
I checked the timesheet. You were late every other morning.
I'm the breadwinner in our house.
Should've thought of that before throwing your weight around.
There's no work about.
Please help me out. I warned you. Get your stuff and go.
SHE SIGHS
What is it?
There were a few boys causing trouble a few years back.
John's name comes up quite a lot.
Poaching, theft...
..starting fires in the woods.
Relatively low-grade stuff but there's a pattern.
Any mention of Ifan?
None, other than in relation to driving.
From what we know, it'd be typical of him to fly under the radar.
I don't know.
It's like he never had to face up to the consequences of his actions.
I found an address for John Lloyd.
He works at a forestry commission 20 miles away.
His wife says he's on shift now. Great. Thanks, Gwawr.
Shall we pay him a visit? That's the plan.
As you can see...
..from her case worker report...
..she's been following the programme.
The house is in good order...
..and she's carried out some improvements herself.
Thank you, Father McEwan.
The thing is, as you're well aware...
..demand for these houses far outstrips supply.
We have to justify providing such a large property for single occupancy.
It's her family home.
Yes but we're aware...
..that Mr Price is not currently residing at the property...
..and that's unlikely to change in the short to medium term.
Is that correct?
Dad's still in prison, if that's what you mean?
Stability. That's what Lea needs at the moment.
She's been through a lot.
I'm aware of that but Lea's no longer a minor...
..and, as a single person, she could easily be accommodated...
..in a smaller property.
Somewhere closer to town perhaps.
This is a family home. Yes, it is a family home.
It's my family home.
I'm sorry to say that's no longer true.
DOOR SLAMS SHUT
CAR ARRIVES
CAR DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
CAR DEPARTS
FRONT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES
You're home early.
They fired me.
I lost my job.
It's OK. I'm still working.
Sion?
We've still got my wages.
You really think that'll help?
You don't have a fucking clue.
Don't say that. Don't treat me like a kid.
I can ask them. It's not even a proper job, Glyn!
Mam said we stick together. Have each other's backs.
What the fuck does it matter about Mam? She's dead!
It's only you and me - ti a fi. Can't you fucking see that?
I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
I'm sorry, OK? No.
Leave me alone.
Glyn, please. Get off me!
ANGUISHED SCREAMS
INAUDIBLE CONVERSATION
John Lloyd?
I'm DCI Cadi John and this is DS Owen Vaughan.
Is there somewhere we can talk?
We can talk here.
It's not like there's anyone here to listen in.
OK.
You were friends with Ifan Williams?
So?
You'd known him since school?
What's this about?
Just answer the question please. Yes, I'd known him since school.
And afterwards?
On and off.
What do you mean, on and off?
I dunno.
We hung out when we were younger and then we didn't.
What happened? Did you fall out?
No.
It was just one of those things.
In my experience...
..friendships don't just self-combust.
You were very close for a long time according to Ifan's mother.
Jesus, we were kids.
What do you want me to say?
We grew up.
Ifan had his life to live...
..and I had mine.
No hard feelings.
Ifan didn't give a shit.
He'd give it to you straight. No bullshit.
That's a rare thing.
Nobody's got the fucking guts to say anything these days.
Do you have any idea why anyone would've wanted to hurt him?
Sorry.
Isn't that your job?
Your name has come up in our intelligence reports.
Informal notes made about some trouble you were in...
..when you were younger.
The important word there was 'informal'.
We were kids.
There wasn't much to do in the middle of nowhere.
We had to make our own fun.
It was quite a long list though.
Antisocial behaviour. Driving without a licence.
Fighting.
It must have felt good...
..to be big fish in a small pond.
Everybody feels like that when they're young.
Above the law? We never crossed that line.
No? No.
We didn't.
Listen, I'm a busy man.
Unless you have something important to ask me, let me get on.
Nice guy.
People get the friends they deserve. Ouch!
I'll drop you home. I've got to get to Elin's house.
Rhydian's cooking. Bet you can't wait!
Good boy.
We'll have to measure you soon.
I'm sure you've grown.
Go and play before bath time.
Did he eat anything? Mm.
There's more there if you want it.
No, I'm not hungry.
Um...
Will you sit, please?
I've been thinking about what you said earlier.
You know how much this place means to me.
Yes, I know.
Please... let me finish.
I've never known anything else. Not like you.
I was only young when I married Dai.
This place has been my world.
Every field.
But...
..I wanted you to know...
..that I was new here once too.
I felt the loneliness.
That feeling of being on someone else's patch.
What you've got to remember is I'm a woman.
I was a wife just as much as I was a mother.
You think my love for them blinded me...
..but I wasn't blind.
I could see what Ifan was like.
How he treated you.
But you never stood up to him.
There are different ways to stand up to someone.
I made the complaint about the animals.
What? It was you?!
I did it in Dai's memory.
Sometimes, you have to do the right thing.
We need to do the right thing now.
The only way we can keep this place is by working together as a family.
If we can't do that...
..you should sell it.
Sell it all.
Make a future somewhere else for him.
Sion?
Sorry I'm late. It's fine. I'm glad you're here.
Rhyds isn't as good a chef as he thinks.
He burnt the lot so I've ordered a takeaway. Come in.
HE TAPS LIGHTLY ON THE DOOR
(FATHER McEWAN) Lea?
I know you're in there.
Today was just another bump in the road...
..and you've got yourself over so many.
I'm sorry things went the way they did.
I really am.
But maybe...
..you could also see it as a new beginning.
A fresh start.
We can't see it at the time...
..but sometimes, the most difficult things that happen to us...
..are the best things.
They can force us to change.
To change the way we think.
Anyway.
I just wanted you to know you're not alone.
I'll go now.
Goodnight, Lea.
(WHISPERS) Goodnight.
HAPPY CHATTER
You OK?
I'm going in to work for a bit.
Now?!
Are you sure? What about the food?
I need it, Els.
I can't just sit here, thinking about things.
CADI SIGHS
I'll leave the key under the mat for you.
TAKES A DEEP BREATH
I've been sat here... Jesus Christ! Who...?
I've been sat here thinking... Sion, is that you?
How did you get in here? Shut up and let me speak!
I've been sat here thinking how a priest...
..a man of God...
..could let someone he says he cares about suffer?
Sion...
You knew.
All those years...
..you knew.
The agony.
The not knowing that was tearing me apart.
You let me believe it was an accident.
I've had to live with that.
I was newly ordained.
I was young.
Everyone said how good you were to us...
..but it was guilt, wasn't it?
The truth was too much to ask for.
Sion...
..I did nothing wrong.
What?
Is that how you've lived with this?
I took vows.
The seal of confession is sacred.
Who was it?
Who told you?
I said who was it?
Who else knew? You've got to tell me!
Did you kill Ifan?
An eye for an eye.
Isn't that what they say?
You've got to tell them.
Confess?
They'll find a way to help you.
Like you did?!
Sion.
Don't do this.
Branwen wouldn't have wanted this.
Don't you dare say her name!
You gave up the right to speak for her when you protected her killer.
You've got your revenge.
Revenge isn't justice.
Truth is justice.
Tell me who else knew.
You owe me.
You fucking owe me that!
I cannot and I will not tell you.
