- What are you doing?

I had to give her some hope.

Who's this witness?

He's this weird bloke.

He's just a harmless bloke, Joe.

He lives there.

Near the church. His window looks over...

Get in the car and follow me.

- You saw a dark car?

- I think it was dark.

You think it was a dark car?

So what else might it have been?

- It was dark.

- The car?

No, it was dark. Darkness.

So it wasn't a dark car? How many people?

One man got out of the car.

One man?

There might have been another man

in the car.

So now you're saying there were two men?

I think.

And, um... the man in the church.

OK, so three men.

Blue car, brown car, a grey car.

These your pills, Mr Tiernan?

I have, um... obsessive com...

Do you get lonely, Mr Tiernan?

Do you get lonely?

Do you find yourself looking out the window?

Is it this window?

Is this the window you saw them from?

Oh, yeah.

You could see anything from out here.

In your head.

You are messing with people's lives here.

I'm sorry.

All right.

All right.

Why did you destroy him?

You didn't have to do that.

I can't let you bring me down, Chrissie.

- Chrissie.

- Get away from me.

- Yeah? - It's me.

Where the hell are you?

You've gotta get here now.

Daniel's called in a tech unit

and a team from Brazen Gate.

Joe?

Joe? Joe, this is serious.

They're searching the isl...

Why did you move him?

So you couldn't tell 'em where he was.

Where is he now?

- Chrissie, if they catch me...

- Go on, go on. Say it. Go on.

F***.

The wind out here.

I remember when we were little, Dad would

tell us to button up our coats or we'd...

It's history, Joe.

That's all.

How did Robert know to come here, Chrissie?

You keep telling me "family"

and you can still ask me

a question like that?

Table three away.

One braise, one bass, yeah?

- Service.

- All right, Chrissie. How you doing?

I've been looking for rings.

Not for me. For you.

You are gonna wear a ring, aren't you?

Don't.

You're too late. We ate yours.

Doesn't matter. I'll just have a drink.

Where's your suit?

- Which suit?

- The one you wore to our party.

I'll take it, get it cleaned.

- I took it in already.

- Give me the ticket. I'll collect it.

- I think I lost it.

- Come on, what happened to it?

I was in such a state that night

with the drink, I just binned it.

- You binned your best suit?

- Yeah, it was in a state, so I binned it.

No, it was you that was in a state.

Lily, leave it.

I told you, I'm telling you now, I binned it.

Do you have no idea how pathetic that is?

- It's my suit.

- You're not 19, Joe.

And you"re not my f***ing mother!

Now get off my back!

- When you're done shouting.

- I'm not shouting.

That isn't shouting. I'm trying

to get you to listen, get you to hear.

- When you've calmed down.

- Don't...

You burnt it, didn't you?

- What?

- I saw you from the window.

What was that about?

I was just... I was drunk, baby.

I was really drunk.

Don't worry, I won't tell Mum.

Chrissie!

Talk to me! Chrissie!

Did I treat your mother badly?

- Chrissie, please!

- I can't remember.

- Chrissie, open the door!

- Why's she left me?

She hasn't left you, Dad.

Mum died. Remember?

She died.

God! Chrissie!

Stop hiding from me. What's going on?

I can't marry you, Jemma, not now.

No, no, no. I know you.

I know this isn't right.

- Look, you've gotta go!

- No! No! You love me!

F***!

Stop it, stop it, stop it.

Look, look, stop it, stop it.

Look at me, look at me,

look at me, look at me.

Look at me. Tell me. Shh, shh.

Shh.

- Tell me.

- We did it.

Shh.

- We did it.

- What?

- Me and Joe.

- What?

We... We killed Jason Buliegh.

We killed Jason Buliegh.

I'm sorry.

What are you gonna do with it?

I don't know.

It was pretty stupid to dig it up.

I panicked. I thought Chrissie would crack.

You need to think.

Slow down.

No more stupid moves.

No.

- Robert.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- How are you?

- Well. You?

- Good.

Natalie said she spoke to you.

Have you come for a reference?

To check her out?

Not quite, no.

I don't wanna put a curse on it, but I have

a feeling about it, you and Natalie.

I think it could be good for you.

- Am I allowed to say this?

- You just did.

Anyway...

I enjoyed your anniversary, especially

Joe's routine with Miriam's boyfriend.

Well, Joe's made it up with her

and they're back together, so it's sorted.

Did you... Did you get him home,

give him a blasting?

I left early. You know that, Robert.

Of course you did.

He stayed,

had plenty more to drink with you lot.

Chrissie brought him home. I put him to bed.

He got the blasting in the morning.

He's lucky to have you.

And he knows it.

If you could sit there, Tom, please.

Can we turn the audio link off?

I wanna show you some...

The clothes you wore that night...

I bought them all again.

You can wash them, make them look worn.

No. No.

We killed a man, Jem.

Not you. Joe.

Joe did this. Tell them Joe did it.

Joe bullies you. Everyone know...

I can't let my wife and my daughter

know it was me.

What if you're making things worse?

Robert brought Tiernan into the station.

Why? For you to see.

- Why?

- So I would react.

What are you even doing here?

You're not going to hurt Tiernan.

You know what you need to do.

Is this a coincidence?

Robert, what did Tom Tiernan tell you?

What did he see?

I've been married, I've been lonely.

Thought it was time to get back in the ring.

- Robert...

- Tom Tiernan's no kind of witness.

But you didn't come here

to ask me about Tiernan.

You came here to tell me something.

You followed me.

Chrissie, if you know something

about your brother...

I know...

...that he's prepared to go to hell

for the people he loves.

He's been looking after me every day.

Every single day.

When I was 18,

I met this woman.

I knew she'd break me, but I did it anyway.

Why do we do that?

Why do we let people break us?

Love.

She's waiting.

Dad?

Was it a long time ago?

Was what a long time ago?

Or was it... Yesterday?

It was him I took out on the islands.

You listen to me, Dad. You didn't do it.

It was me and Joe.

We took him out there.

You understand?

It was you?

And if anyone asks,

that's what you tell 'em.

It was you.

Love you, Dad.

Miriam, go to bed.

- Mum, what's he done?

- Go to bed, Miriam.

Mum...

Dad's not here. He's... He's working.

Mum, what has he done? He's different.

Something's happened.

Let me not curse this darkness

but let me be light.

Let me take that.

You have to try to understand

that what Dad does is not like other jobs.

Why are you talking like this?

He promised me.

I know you will show me the

lighted path in my hour of need.

Let me not curse this darkness

but let me be the light.

Something's happened and you know

and you have to tell me.

- I don't know.

- You do know. I know you know.

And you have to tell me. It"s not fair!

I was wrong! I was wrong!

How would it be if I was sorry?

If I was... If I...

If I changed my mind and I...
