Episode 6

~ What is that? ~ A contract.
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, and it's something that you're not going to 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.
Are you OK, son? Can I have my phone call, please? Difficult to decide who, innit? My advice is, find someone who'll keep you warm in there.
Let you sleep.
Save everything else till later.
Hi.
It's me.
OK.
So I've realised I've recently realised that, um that we belong together, and that the way that, actually, that Ahh, shit.
I don't want to be with anyone else, you know.
We're Tina and Rob, and I think that we should make that uh, uh I think we should make a commitment and Oh, fuck! 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 going to 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 superglue.
" ~ 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! ~ It's not too wanky, but it's a little bit wanky.
~ Just like him! 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 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 you think it's right, then I think it's right.
Oh, bollocks Look, I'm not saying this is a victory, but it's a start, it's something, and I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you, all.
This one has 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.
To Rosen.
There you are Hello.
You are aware there is a party going on, in there, without you.
Hey, the CPS are in.
We are a success.
We 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 is going to cheer you when you fail.
OK? So So you have to celebrate the wins.
Shall I take you home? I mean, in a taxi.
I mean, shall I come home with you? No, I didn't Wait.
No, I didn't mean What I meant was that I think that we should celebrate, I mean, properly celebrate, the two of us.
~ I'm going to go home.
~ Well, maybe another time.
Yeah.
Oh, um she's sleeping.
How was she? Great.
She's funny.
I was quite surprised when you called.
You were the only one I could think of to do it.
She's awake.
I'll get her.
Thank you.
She's settling.
There's someone I need to speak to.
Would you mind staying a little bit longer? Hi.
Hi.
Tina, I need to Please Can I Ah, OK.
Are you staying here or going to the bedroom? Oh, you're staying here.
And I probably shouldn't have mentioned the bedroom word.
OK, just pretend you never saw me.
I'm turning up the music.
So Look, I didn't think you wanted to see me 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.
Look no, I came for a reason Can we just keep the past in the past? Can I just? Sorry, we'll get to that.
OK, yes.
It's James.
He needs me.
He needs us.
He only had one phone call and he phoned me.
~ Well, look, 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.
OK, what did they need fake passports for? They were leaving.
~ Cal was leaving.
~ Well, I mean, Cal and James were leaving.
They had plans, a future.
And they were in love.
Annie, please turn that off! ~ They were in love.
And I didn't know.
~ Well, I didn't know, either.
But listen, I've made contact with the dude and he can meet us tonight at eight o'clock, and if we persuade him to come to the police station then that's James's alibi - that proves 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.
~ Sorry, what was it you were saying? ~ Nothing.
Please, are you in or out? ~ 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 going to turn up.
Nobody watches the fucking news any more.
It'll be fine.
He'll turn up and everything will be back to normal.
Now he is late.
Good idea? Great idea.
You know why I love weed? 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.
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.
Boof.
First wank by another.
That was you.
Brilliant! First blowjob.
Also you.
Better than the wank! First sex.
First successful sex.
I'm really sorry.
I need to I need to tell you that I'm sorry.
What are you apologising for? Fucking Janine or throwing the race? What? You think I wouldn't find out? Look, I'm so sorry.
It was a one-night thing.
I just thought it would be kinder ~ if I didn't say anything.
~ Well, now I know.
Cos I've made mistakes too.
Let's just forget about it and move on together.
You're supposed to be really angry.
Well, I'm just saying that we've all made mistakes.
You keep saying "mistakes".
What mistakes have you made? I'm just being nice here, OK? So just let me be nice.
Fuck! That's him! Can I just say, the Janine thing.
I just fucked her.
That was it.
Oh, how romantic(!) Just go! ~ And And And I'm so sorry for everything.
~ 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? ~ Um yeah.
~ At 4am.
He said he met you here at 4am 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.
James needs you! I'll tell them who you are! They'll come after you! I'll burn everything and deny all knowledge.
~ You can get ten years for forgery.
~ Now, listen.
~ Shit.
~ We'll get him.
Oh, shit.
~ We're splitting up.
~ What? ~ You go that way, I'll go that way.
Oi! What?! ~ Can you give us a minute? ~ Yeah, no problem.
I can't think of anything to say.
I should have come sooner.
And 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 stop thinking about you.
I've got some girl I barely know looking after my child.
There's no-one else.
I thought when you joined the police that .
.
you'd get answers.
But you just get more doubt.
It's guessing Elizabeth? Help! No, wait! No, no, wait! No, please.
What's wrong with her? Well, look, I've got a photo of him and maybe we can use prints off that.
Maybe, yeah.
I just don't get why he didn't stop, to be honest.
I mean, 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.
~ 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, right? It's basically, anything 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 going to 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 OK.
~ Basic necessities being? ~ Food, a roof, weed, pussy ~ and Mars bars! ~ And I'm the pussy, am I? ~ No, that's my point, though.
You know, you're not anything.
You're everything.
I know I get it wrong sometimes.
All right, a lot.
But, um I just get stuck and What I'm trying to say is I would farm cat I'd beef farm! I'd farm I'd touch cows in Argentina for you.
I'd adjust to that.
I think there's literally I'd more or less adjust to anything for you, Tina.
I like your face! ~ Rob ~ Yeah? Will you marry me? What?! 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? You don't want to.
I I ruin your career, you find out I shagged Janine 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'll 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! ~ Hey, Rob.
~ Hey.
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? ~ No, I know you do.
~ Well, you're wrong.
We don't.
Do you want to take a seat? So, what 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 going to 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.
Now, 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.
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.
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.
Dad will be waiting for me worried for me and I think it's good to have people worry for you, isn't it? Hi.
Can't sleep neither? No.
It's funny, ain't it? 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 a slept, I wouldn't have been able to escape.
Escape? Maybe it's the wrong word.
I couldn't cope with it, so I left.
Still can't cope with it, to be honest with you.
Is that supposed to be OK? And 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 that you didn't think 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.
You know that, right? You know, out of all the Romany boys, there is a place where we can grow up in the woods.
A house, dance of the gorgie girls, fuck the gorgie girls.
I don'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.
And she didn't like that.
That's around about the time she left.
Can I stay here until she gets back, please? Erm it's Tina.
Tina, Annie said I could come instead.
~ Tina ~ I just want to be alone! Please, look, I just want to talk.
Tina, please! ~ This night's been shit enough already.
~ I mean it, Rob, fuck off! Tina! Tina! It's pissing it down here.
Where are you? Is someone Is someone there? Rob, if that's fucking you Fuck! Are you OK? 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 as though someone's been living here.
Eli hated us being here.
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 do think he did it, then? Police didn't give a fuck about the alibi.
Apparently, I'm not trustworthy, which is something you could also prove.
You know, I remember very clearly the first time I thought we were going to go out.
School trip to Calais.
One of the boys dared you to buy What's that metal, serrated-edge thing that you threw? 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.
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 I don't want to put it down my pants, do I?" And I thought that was so funny I think I laughed for about five minutes and 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 and 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.
Tina! Tina! If you 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.
OK.
Yes.
That's right.
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.
Ruth, did you bring your child to a crime scene? Tina .
.
do you think that she looks like him? My mum's gone.
Where? I don't know.
This is all such a mess, isn't it? No.
She doesn't look like him.
I've got to go.
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't we talk about something else? OK.
Right, so I've been having this dream.
I'm sitting in this apple orchard, 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.
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 this shot breaks out.
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.
Egotistic even in your dreams.
It really fucked me up.
What do you think it means? It means you're a knobhead.
OK, OK.
OK, knobhead I'll take.
It really is beautiful here, isn't it? Yeah.
It's astonishing.
You do love him, Eli.
If you're unsure, if that's what scared you, then you do.
Do I? Yeah, I'm actually pretty sure about that.
You know, you've always loved him.
I've always known.
Don't get me wrong, I've wanted to keep you.
Sort of hoped you'd never work it out.
I've always known.
You should go to him, you know.
You should go to Eli.
Right then.
We need to talk.
Contract's been found.
I didn't even know it existed.
Your 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? Cry No More by Vaults
