Keeping Faith (2017) s01e03 Episode Script
Suspected
1 I love you.
Love you.
Bye.
Bye, Rhods.
Got to run, busy day.
Yes.
I've lost Evan.
Evan's been going to counselling? I think Dad had a funny phone call this morning.
Missing Persons report gets filed first thing.
There was a man here.
What man? It wasn't you, was it? It wasn't you who came looking for him last night? He upped his life insurance a couple of weeks ago to £1.
25 million.
Evan, cheating? Mm-hm.
Where's the evidence? The police might think she's got a motive for making him disappear.
Faith? My bloody husband - that's what I need.
I need my husband.
Faith claims she didn't know that the firm was in debt, and I believe her.
I'd like you to come with us, please.
I have a few questions.
This programme contains some strong language Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh ooh ooh ooh.
I expect you'll be wanting a lawyer, Mrs Howells.
I thought you said this was just a chat.
It is.
Then why would I need a lawyer? Let's hope you don't.
Looks like we're going to miss the quiz, Terry.
I did tell them.
You're quite sure you've never seen this BMW? Yes.
Is that it? Because it's been a hell of a long day.
I imagine whoever was driving .
.
was looking for Evan.
Or you.
Where were you at midnight yesterday? Home.
And you didn't hear an engine? Did you drag me down here for this? How have things been between you and your husband lately, Mrs Howells? I appreciate it's it's a delicate matter, but we've received information to suggest you've been sleeping in separate rooms.
From who? A neighbour.
Eira Jones? We understand your husband recently increased his life insurance.
Significantly.
Where are you getting this from? It's irrelevant.
Not to me.
Terry? This is your evidence, is it? The fact that Evan had taken out life insurance? Well, it's part of it.
Are you out of your tiny fucking mind? I mean, seriously, can we inject a note of sanity here? My husband is missing for 24 hours and I come to you for help, and without any credible evidence let alone lawful justification .
.
you as good as accuse me of what exactly? Having him bumped off? Is that what you are accusing me of doing? You are in financial peril, aren't you, Mrs Howells? Yeah, you are facing ruin.
Am I? I'm going in now.
Inspector, Constable, I'm here to represent Mrs Howells Excuse me, this is an informal discussion.
There was no comment.
Are you charging her with something? Nighty night, then.
I'll catch you up.
Everything all right? Misunderstanding.
Sorry to hear about Evan.
I meant to come over, but It's fine.
Is Rhodri still teething? Reverend Excuse me.
Should he have a solicitor? No.
Anything I can do? He won't be long.
Faith, come on! Just a minute.
Right, then, you take care of yourself.
What have they got? Nothing.
Lisa's got your kids, they're all fine.
She phoned you? No.
Tom did.
He was worried about you.
There you go.
Sorry, Cerys, I've ruined your night.
Faith, as your lawyer, and in the strictest of confidence, is there anything at all I should know about anything .
.
missing at home, anything weird? No, not really.
You can trust me, you know.
I am on your side.
DI bloody Williams has been waiting for this for years.
Yeah? Yeah.
We We've got some history.
She is a She's a class one bitch.
So, what are you going to do now, then? Oh As my mother used to say .
.
when you're going through hell .
.
keep going.
Hey, look, something's come up on Facebook, babes, right? Mm.
There's this guy in Carmarthen who says he's seen Evan in Swansea.
In a lap-dancing club.
The Candy Lounge.
The Candy Lounge? Do you want me to show you or? No.
Look, he's Yeah, he's probably just trolling.
None of this makes any sense.
Two days ago, my husband leaves for work, and now this.
This is just bloody This is This is madness.
It's just nuts.
What if he has been a naughty boy? Worst-case What if he's caught something and he's had to Stop.
He was going through hell, and I didn't even notice.
Do you know what? He doesn't know how lucky he is.
What has she done, Terry? What has she done to him? Why? I've offered to step into the breach of the rotary auction this evening.
Evan was meant to MC.
I think you should come.
How can I? Everyone will know Faith was arrested.
No The shame of it.
She was not arrested.
Helping with enquiries.
Can't hide ourselves away forever.
What? And just so you know, I'm feeling this every bit as painfully as you are.
Talk later.
The software checks through everything he's deleted.
I'll save them all onto a stick for you.
Looks pretty clean, though.
Hardly any e-mails.
Yeah.
What do you think? Just daydreaming? I think most of my old clients are taking their business elsewhere.
You're a hard act to follow, Tom.
Did he use any other computers? Just his laptop, there's no sign of it.
No phone calls, messages Has he done this kind of thing before? No.
Any favourite bolt-holes he might be hiding in? He likes to go down to the boat.
What do you think's happened, then? Huw, I hadn't liked to ask this before, but When Evan asked me to put you in touch with him last autumn .
.
what did he want? I don't think you want to know.
I want to know.
What did he want, Huw? Huw, please.
Did I know any villains who might give him a whirl? Oh, no, no, no.
What time was your appointment with Miss Glynn on the 18th? 4.
30.
And you're sure about that? No question.
It's all on my computer.
I showed the police.
And what do you say to the prosecution's allegation, that she was several miles away at the time, shooting Mr Riordan? They made a mistake.
And do you remember the appointment? Very well.
Miss Glynn was a nervous patient.
She didn't like the needle.
She was fine in the end.
We calmed her down.
Thank you.
Let me assure you, members of the jury, that the defence has the deepest sympathy for Mr Riordan's family.
Particularly his widow.
His murder was a tragedy.
And we all wish to see the perpetrator brought to justice.
But that person .
.
was not my client.
You've heard from a woman with no possible reason to lie that the three witnesses were sadly mistaken.
At the time of the murder, Erin Glynn was having a tooth out.
It's a crying shame.
But there we are.
I only wish the police had .
.
had done a better job.
But that is why we are here, to ensure that truth and justice prevail.
Good job.
He got a taste for the big, bad world of crime.
Yes? DI Williams.
Can I have a word? I'm with someone.
I know.
I've had you under surveillance.
Williams.
Don't worry about her.
Chief Inspector Parry Susan.
.
.
Mr Howells I've obtained a warrant to remove your son's computer for forensic examination.
On a missing-persons case? I could ignore the circumstantial evidence and do nothing, Mr Howells, but I'm sure you'd rather I didn't.
I know this isn't my gig, Susan, but wouldn't your time be better spent looking for him? My officers are taking all necessary measures, Mr Howells.
Evan's office is the second door on the left.
I'll talk to the traffic boys in Swansea, see if we can't get a trace on his car.
Bye, Susan.
We should have coffee sometime.
I've seen him a few times.
Well, when was the last time? Sorry, I've got to go.
Mr Baldini, um I'll be with you in one minute.
One minute.
All right Delyth.
Yes.
Were the police here yesterday? No.
They seem to have got hold of some papers that Evan keeps here in that filing cabinet.
Well I don't know what to say.
Would Cerys have given them? No.
Tom? No.
I'm in charge.
I'm in charge from here on in.
You feel compromised, you talk to me.
Hello, Faith.
What's going on here? Williams came with a warrant and took Evan's computer with her.
Delyth.
Yes.
Could you take Mr Baldini into the conference room, please? Of course.
This way.
And you're here because Well, I'm just You know, actually, sort of Oh, you let her in? Well, thank you very much.
That's That's much appreciated, Tom.
Yes.
Along with rifling through Evan's private papers.
Maybe I can look forward to being dragged into the station again later.
I mean, what better way to treat a woman whose husband has just walked out on her.
I had no idea What did you think would happen? What did you think would happen?! What did you think she was going to do, huh? In all honesty, Faith, there's no other reason I thought it was evidence that he might have That he'd Given his money problems Mm? I feared That he'd killed himself? Then, why didn't you talk to me, Tom? His wife.
His partner, and his family.
Bastard firm! I know, I'm sorry.
You are sorry.
I'm sorry.
Everyone's Everyone's bloody sorry, aren't they? Come on, baby boy.
Come on.
Would you look after him, please? Yeah, yeah, sure.
Rhodri.
Come here, come here.
That's it.
There's a good boy.
You know that auction tonight? I've offered to step in for .
.
for Evan.
I don't think we should hide our faces.
It's not the Howells' way.
Well Well Maybe he'll surprise us all and put in an appearance.
What can I do for you, Mr Baldini? Well, it's Rhona.
She's been slagging me off on Facebook, saying I'm not safe to be with my little girl.
Er My boss will see that.
Er Well, I can write a letter.
Could always try the police.
Only got myself to blame, I suppose.
Right, I'll get that letter out straight-away.
Thank you.
Oh, I saw you in a cop car last night.
You having trouble over Evan? No, just doing my job.
Look, I know you're a smart woman and you will handle things in your own way, but if you ever need any Do you know something, Steve? No.
Did Evan ever talk to you about his personal life? He mentioned you quite a bit.
Said how important his family was to him.
Mrs Howells I'll get that letter out straight-away.
Thank you.
You're a good man, Steve.
Just a minute, please.
Hey.
Hi.
Yeah, I spoke to a girl who works at the club.
She's seen him there.
With a couple of others.
She didn't have him down as a groper.
Behaved himself.
OK, thanks, Lisa.
I'm sorry I can't take your call at the moment.
Please leave a message, thank you.
Evan, it's Steve.
Listen, I don't know what's going on, but the police are hassling your missus.
So, um, I'm here, OK? Whatever you need, just .
.
say the word.
OK.
Data retrieval have come up with something.
48 hours before he went missing, Evan Howells did a bit of online shopping.
£78.
50 on a DNA paternity testing kit.
So either he's been playing away Or, he suspects his wife.
I think we need to keep a very close eye on Mrs Howells.
.
.
First thing this morning, when I went to make tea in the kitchen.
Looks like someone tried to break in last night.
Hiya, Faith.
Hiya.
I don't think they got in.
Opportunists, probably.
I did ask Williams not to bring you in.
She took his computer this morning.
Listen, um .
.
I haven't said anything to her, right? But I know you were out in your car on Wednesday night .
.
after midnight.
You told me you were at home.
I was at home, at midnight, like I said.
Well, it was just a couple of minutes, Terry.
Oh, Faith Just a couple of I know, I I know, I know.
It's just Just Gareth's Taxis phone me, he said he'd seen Evan's car at Tom's Carvery.
I went there to find it, he wasn't there.
You should have called me.
Yeah, I know that now.
I know that.
I should I shouldn't have gone, but I'm desperate.
I'm And I'm shit scared.
Yeah, of course you are.
Listen A man like Evan, right? Mmm.
A good man.
Yeah.
He wouldn't If he was going to .
.
do something stupid .
.
you'd have to know it.
What if he wasn't a good man, Terry? What if he was a complete bastard? Faith Howells, wife of Evan Howells.
I need five minutes.
Evan's been missing since Wednesday morning.
I have no idea where he is or why he's gone.
But, I have every reason to believe that you know more about him than I do.
He has been speaking about his sessions? No, I learned about you from our GP.
After I put a gun to her head.
Well, I Missing? Yeah.
He went to work.
Never arrived.
A man who buys next year's diary in March! Please, have some water.
You'll appreciate that my conversations with patients are confidential.
Even when lives are at risk? What would Buddha say? Hm? He's having an affair, isn't he? No, no.
He This is nice.
All this.
Why was he so stressed, then? The usual things.
Money I'm really not sure I can I confess, I've never been in this situation.
Yeah, well Join the club.
Has he ever spoke to you about wanting to run away or kill himself? No.
He spoke about me? Only in the warmest tones.
Other women? I said no.
The only one other woman I recall him mentioning is his mother.
Marion.
They seem unusually close.
They confide in each other.
He says they often speak two or three times a day.
Well, I'm lucky if he calls me once.
Yeah, well, sons tend to idolise mothers.
Mm.
What else? There's an incident from his childhood that has been preying on his mind.
A friend of his who drowned.
It was a big trauma.
His parents didn't speak about it.
Alec Fenton.
Yeah.
I suggested that he talked it through with Mother.
Do you think he loves me? Yes.
Then what? Please.
I think .
.
he was feeling insignificant.
As if, in pleasing others .
.
he had lost any sense of himself.
She is lying.
She must be.
She's hiding something.
It's not fair, I've got the council elections in two weeks.
Who's going to vote for me with this hanging over the family? I don't know.
I just feel like we've all been lied to.
Like there's a cuckoo in the nest.
Why on earth do you want to be on the council? All the petty nonsense.
Because I love Abercorran! I want to give something back.
Good for you.
Mum, come on.
Hey.
Hey, come on.
He'll turn up.
Bethan.
There's something I Tell me, Mummy.
It's Faith.
Well, answer it, then.
Hello, Faith.
Uh, I'd like to have a chat.
Maybe I can pop around after I've picked Megs up from swimming? Fine.
OK, then, I'll see you later.
She's got something to tell you.
I knew it.
The marriage is dead.
Please, can we talk about something else! I'll see you at the Rotary tonight, then.
If it's not too petty for you.
Ma'am, looks like our black BMW's back in the area again.
Camera picked it up on the Carmarthen road.
Could be a connection to the attempted break-in at Howells' last night.
How did you get on with Frank? Is there any film of the reverend? No, the Oh, right, the thing at He doesn't know that, does he? Bring him in.
Ma'am, I really don't think bring Send Jones in, would you? Yes, ma'am.
Hi.
Are you Megan's mum? Yes.
Um, unfortunately she can't go in the water today.
She's got a verruca on her foot.
And we do ask parents to check.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I've been We'll get this sorted.
Sorry.
OK? Don't worry.
Megan, you know you said the other morning that Daddy went all pale when his phone rang? Was that the first time that had happened? Not really.
What do you mean, "not really"? Sometimes when his phone rang, he went to the study and locked the door.
What, when I was out? Mostly.
Who do you think he was talking to? I don't know, sweetheart.
Don't know.
Hey Let's go get Alys Let's go get Alys Let's go get Alys And we can all go home.
Come on.
Mum, what are we doing here? I need a word with Granny.

What's happened? Right, well, I'm really, really, uh, busy at the moment, but Hey, Maggie.
Cool down.

Yeah Yeah, I'm on my way.
Yeah, OK.
Unbelievable.
Shit .
.
bricks! Hello.
Hello.
Mum had to go.
Stop, stop! He's gone to the cliff-top.
I think he might jump, Faith.
Calm down, calm down.
It's going to be fine.
Everything is going to be absolutely fine.
We're going to find him and we're just going to go home.
All right? DI Williams asked him to come into the station for further questioning.
She says she's got evidence from the bank that he took £200.
There he is! Faith.
Faith, Faith, there he is.
I'm making my way down now.
OK.
Keep your seat belt on.
Bryn! Keep your seat Maggie! Let me go.
Maggie! Calm down.
No, no! Let me go to him.
No! No.
No, no! No.
I know what to say to him.
No, no, no.
I know what to say to him! Shh! Please let me go! Shush! Police.
Yes Terry I can't remember his surname.
Detective something.
.
.
Yes, yes.
Yes.
Yes, please.
Bryn.
Bryn.
It's Faith.
Want to have a chat? Beautiful, isn't it? Yes, it's It's lovely.
I've erred and strayed, Faith.
Well I'm glad about that.
Because, um, I'll tell you something.
Behaving yourself doesn't get you anywhere, does it? I've given 30 years of my life to this parish.
Now it's That's all I'll be remembered for.
For a couple of hundred quid? Hardly choirboys, is it, Bryn? Count your blessings.
DI Williams - she's after me for murder.
It's a cruel world, isn't it, Bryn? I'll go to jail.
Defrocked.
Disgraced.
I don't know about that.
Evan My Evan.
He was going to strippers in Swansea.
All that sin just down the road there, Bryn.
Can't get away from it, can you? Can't get away from it, it's everywhere.
Bryn Bryn.
People love you, Bryn.
They do.
Your full-dunk christenings were They're famous! I'm sure that's why all mine, they swim like fish.
Please, Faith, let me be.
Sod 'em.
You sod 'em.
Sod what they think.
Because we know who you are, right? Look at me.
Look at me, Bryn.
Shall we jump? Faith? Five minutes.
Your parish treasurer said that £200 has gone missing from the collection.
Is that the length of it? It's all the old fool managed to spot.
Right.
Well, do we know if there's any other evidence? Police have gone down the bank to check CCTV.
If they can prove I deposited the cash, well I must have known it was short.
What was the money for, Bryn? Food, drink, heat, lighting.
Couple of second-hand dresses.
Couple of tights.
If I tell the truth .
.
we both would fall.
It's my fault.
Failure to provide.
You were an occasional member of my audience Mmm.
What should be the Christian way? The truth, the whole truth? Is that your advice? Lies? Either way .
.
I'm a bloody hypocrite.
Oh I wish I'd jumped.
Bryn is willing to take the blame, if that's what you'd like.
Is there anything you'd like to say? The world is light and dark, Faith.
Sometimes we have to go to the dark places.
Life gives the seeker no option but to beat the devil at his own game.
I needed that money.
Do you accept that every week Edwin Rhys makes a note of how much was collected and shows it to you? Yes.
And that money entrusted into your self-care has now gone missing? It's possible.
We've made enquiries at your bank.
We've asked them to supply us with footage to prove you made the relevant deposits.
The camera doesn't lie.
Have you got the footage? It's on the way.
You're jumping the gun, then.
You've got no case.
As you well know, Mrs Howells, the sooner an accused confesses, the more lenient the sentence.
Just, please I have no wish I really want this to be over with, please.
There's no footage, is there? And, uh You must think me really stupid.
Can I remind you where we are, Mrs Howells? Oh, yeah, yeah.
We've been here before, haven't we? Hmm? Remember? Inventing evidence is an old habit of yours.
What's going on? We're going home, Bryn.
Come on.
No evidence.
You're an angel.
Spread your wings, and I'll be praying for you.
I've got to go.
Gave you all that you needed You were cut, but I'm bleeding And all of my strength I give to you I love completely You lose then you leave me And all of my hope Left with you too But I gave my heart All I did I gave my heart And although it's lost It is still beating And I gave my hope It's all I did I gave my soul And although I'm broken I am still breathing I will sleep through the moment All the moments you've stolen All for my love I'll know the truth That I gave my heart Faith! I thought you were the taxi.
Marion.
I think you might have something to tell me.
I know how often you and Evan spoke.
Oh, hello, Faith.
Any news? Marion and I were just having a chat - she'll be with you in a minute.
Oh, righto.
Phew.
Silly - feel a bit nervous, haven't done this for ages.
Oh, you'll be brilliant.
Sorry I was sharp with you earlier.
We'll stick together.
I promise.
Don't be long.
It's something to do with this, isn't it? Mmm? So, uh, who is she, then? Cos that's all I need to know, really.
She Don't you dare.
Don't you try and protect him, Marion.
Don't you dare! Not this time.
It's not him, Faith.
It's Before he was born .
.
I was seeing someone else.
I told Evan last week.
I thought it was for the best.
Who? He was just a friend.
Does Tom know? Are you going to tell him? I have to go.
Do you think this suit's all right? Perhaps I should've worn the other one.
You look very smart, Tom.
Last week, Marion told Evan .
.
that Tom might not be his dad.
I take it Bethan doesn't know.
Uh, no.
That'll be a treat.
Oh, poor Tom.
The kids love their grandpa, don't they? Mmm.
Why couldn't he just tell me, Terry? That's the bit I can't handle here.
I'm his wife.
I know.
Well, I don't know.
Do you know? I don't know.
Arthur Davies give you any joy with that driver of the BMW? Oh, didn't turn up to do his e-fit.
Difficult man to track down, being of no fixed abode.
No good end to this, is there? Faith, don't say that.
You have got to stay positive.
Mmm.
It's getting harder.
Madam Foreman, have you come to a verdict which is the verdict of you all? We have.
On the single count that Ms Erin Glynn did on the 18th of September of this year murder Mr Patrick Graydon, do you find the accused guilty or not guilty? Not guilty.
Ah, lot number 12.
Ohhh.
Rekindle the flame with a luxury break for two - at the St David's Hotel.
- Ooh! Any weekend in November.
Includes full use of the spa.
Ooh! His and hers massage.
Ooh! And pamper sessions! And if your other half's busy, I'm sure you could take a friend.
Right.
Who's going to start me off at £250, please? That hand went up very quickly, Mr Morgan.
Well done, you.
Straight out of the traps.
Oh, and look at the smile on Mrs Morgan's face.
Aw, isn't that lovely? Now, ladies, talking of smiles, surely it's worth putting a smile back on his face, don't you think? Who's going to give me £260? You're not a lady! But thank you very much.
Here by yourself? Busy time.
I admire Terry's loyalty, Bethan.
But, uh, you and your family should know there's an awful lot your sister-in-law isn't telling us.
.
.
hand has now gone up, and that takes us to 400, sir.
Thank you very much.
But I tell you what I'm going to do now.
I'm going to leap to 450.
Who'll give me 450? Tell you what, I'm going to make it 350 for you.
What are these two like? 350, 350 Evan, it's me.
I know about Marion.
And I'm really sorry.
Really, really sorry.
I just wish you could have told me.
I love you.
I love you so very much.
I just I just want to give you a really big hug.
Get out of the bath! Please phone me.
Get out of the bath! Please, please.
Mam, he's got bubbles everywhere.
All right, all right.
Just a minute.
They're halfway up the wall.
Oh, OK.
All right.
Stop it, Megs, please.
I'll get up there in a minute.
Hello? It's Steve.
Steve Baldini.
How did you get my number, Steve? You gave it to me.
Listen, I need to talk to you.
Urgently.
Faith, you there? Look, I can't speak now, OK? Here I am once more In the same familiar circumstances Trying to make some sense of all of it Come on.
Here I go once more Going round and round in this fairground Holding on for dear life again And I thought I'd know by now I did And though the tides have turned somehow, I'll live And hearts will never get old enough That they don't break They keep beating on anyway And hearts will never get old enough That they won't bruise And every time you lose you'll say Here I go, here I go Here I go again Here I go, here I go Here I go again And I fell for the pretty lies Cos hi's are easier than goodbyes But now I'm left alone here with the blame
Love you.
Bye.

Are you out of your tiny fucking mind? I mean, seriously, can we inject a note of sanity here? My husband is missing for 24 hours and I come to you for help, and without any credible evidence let alone lawful justification .
.
you as good as accuse me of what exactly? Having him bumped off? Is that what you are accusing me of doing? You are in financial peril, aren't you, Mrs Howells? Yeah, you are facing ruin.
Am I? I'm going in now.
Inspector, Constable, I'm here to represent Mrs Howells Excuse me, this is an informal discussion.
There was no comment.
Are you charging her with something? Nighty night, then.
I'll catch you up.
Everything all right? Misunderstanding.
Sorry to hear about Evan.
I meant to come over, but It's fine.
Is Rhodri still teething? Reverend Excuse me.
Should he have a solicitor? No.
Anything I can do? He won't be long.
Faith, come on! Just a minute.
Right, then, you take care of yourself.
What have they got? Nothing.
Lisa's got your kids, they're all fine.
She phoned you? No.
Tom did.
He was worried about you.
There you go.
Sorry, Cerys, I've ruined your night.
Faith, as your lawyer, and in the strictest of confidence, is there anything at all I should know about anything .
.
missing at home, anything weird? No, not really.
You can trust me, you know.
I am on your side.
DI bloody Williams has been waiting for this for years.
Yeah? Yeah.
We We've got some history.
She is a She's a class one bitch.
So, what are you going to do now, then? Oh As my mother used to say .
.
when you're going through hell .
.
keep going.
Hey, look, something's come up on Facebook, babes, right? Mm.
There's this guy in Carmarthen who says he's seen Evan in Swansea.
In a lap-dancing club.
The Candy Lounge.
The Candy Lounge? Do you want me to show you or? No.
Look, he's Yeah, he's probably just trolling.
None of this makes any sense.
Two days ago, my husband leaves for work, and now this.
This is just bloody This is This is madness.
It's just nuts.
What if he has been a naughty boy? Worst-case What if he's caught something and he's had to Stop.
He was going through hell, and I didn't even notice.
Do you know what? He doesn't know how lucky he is.
What has she done, Terry? What has she done to him? Why? I've offered to step into the breach of the rotary auction this evening.
Evan was meant to MC.
I think you should come.
How can I? Everyone will know Faith was arrested.
No The shame of it.
She was not arrested.
Helping with enquiries.
Can't hide ourselves away forever.
What? And just so you know, I'm feeling this every bit as painfully as you are.
Talk later.
The software checks through everything he's deleted.
I'll save them all onto a stick for you.
Looks pretty clean, though.
Hardly any e-mails.
Yeah.
What do you think? Just daydreaming? I think most of my old clients are taking their business elsewhere.
You're a hard act to follow, Tom.
Did he use any other computers? Just his laptop, there's no sign of it.
No phone calls, messages Has he done this kind of thing before? No.
Any favourite bolt-holes he might be hiding in? He likes to go down to the boat.
What do you think's happened, then? Huw, I hadn't liked to ask this before, but When Evan asked me to put you in touch with him last autumn .
.
what did he want? I don't think you want to know.
I want to know.
What did he want, Huw? Huw, please.
Did I know any villains who might give him a whirl? Oh, no, no, no.
What time was your appointment with Miss Glynn on the 18th? 4.
30.
And you're sure about that? No question.
It's all on my computer.
I showed the police.
And what do you say to the prosecution's allegation, that she was several miles away at the time, shooting Mr Riordan? They made a mistake.
And do you remember the appointment? Very well.
Miss Glynn was a nervous patient.
She didn't like the needle.
She was fine in the end.
We calmed her down.
Thank you.
Let me assure you, members of the jury, that the defence has the deepest sympathy for Mr Riordan's family.
Particularly his widow.
His murder was a tragedy.
And we all wish to see the perpetrator brought to justice.
But that person .
.
was not my client.
You've heard from a woman with no possible reason to lie that the three witnesses were sadly mistaken.
At the time of the murder, Erin Glynn was having a tooth out.
It's a crying shame.
But there we are.
I only wish the police had .
.
had done a better job.
But that is why we are here, to ensure that truth and justice prevail.
Good job.
He got a taste for the big, bad world of crime.
Yes? DI Williams.
Can I have a word? I'm with someone.
I know.
I've had you under surveillance.
Williams.
Don't worry about her.
Chief Inspector Parry Susan.
.
.
Mr Howells I've obtained a warrant to remove your son's computer for forensic examination.
On a missing-persons case? I could ignore the circumstantial evidence and do nothing, Mr Howells, but I'm sure you'd rather I didn't.
I know this isn't my gig, Susan, but wouldn't your time be better spent looking for him? My officers are taking all necessary measures, Mr Howells.
Evan's office is the second door on the left.
I'll talk to the traffic boys in Swansea, see if we can't get a trace on his car.
Bye, Susan.
We should have coffee sometime.
I've seen him a few times.
Well, when was the last time? Sorry, I've got to go.
Mr Baldini, um I'll be with you in one minute.
One minute.
All right Delyth.
Yes.
Were the police here yesterday? No.
They seem to have got hold of some papers that Evan keeps here in that filing cabinet.
Well I don't know what to say.
Would Cerys have given them? No.
Tom? No.
I'm in charge.
I'm in charge from here on in.
You feel compromised, you talk to me.
Hello, Faith.
What's going on here? Williams came with a warrant and took Evan's computer with her.
Delyth.
Yes.
Could you take Mr Baldini into the conference room, please? Of course.
This way.
And you're here because Well, I'm just You know, actually, sort of Oh, you let her in? Well, thank you very much.
That's That's much appreciated, Tom.
Yes.
Along with rifling through Evan's private papers.
Maybe I can look forward to being dragged into the station again later.
I mean, what better way to treat a woman whose husband has just walked out on her.
I had no idea What did you think would happen? What did you think would happen?! What did you think she was going to do, huh? In all honesty, Faith, there's no other reason I thought it was evidence that he might have That he'd Given his money problems Mm? I feared That he'd killed himself? Then, why didn't you talk to me, Tom? His wife.
His partner, and his family.
Bastard firm! I know, I'm sorry.
You are sorry.
I'm sorry.
Everyone's Everyone's bloody sorry, aren't they? Come on, baby boy.
Come on.
Would you look after him, please? Yeah, yeah, sure.
Rhodri.
Come here, come here.
That's it.
There's a good boy.
You know that auction tonight? I've offered to step in for .
.
for Evan.
I don't think we should hide our faces.
It's not the Howells' way.
Well Well Maybe he'll surprise us all and put in an appearance.
What can I do for you, Mr Baldini? Well, it's Rhona.
She's been slagging me off on Facebook, saying I'm not safe to be with my little girl.
Er My boss will see that.
Er Well, I can write a letter.
Could always try the police.
Only got myself to blame, I suppose.
Right, I'll get that letter out straight-away.
Thank you.
Oh, I saw you in a cop car last night.
You having trouble over Evan? No, just doing my job.
Look, I know you're a smart woman and you will handle things in your own way, but if you ever need any Do you know something, Steve? No.
Did Evan ever talk to you about his personal life? He mentioned you quite a bit.
Said how important his family was to him.
Mrs Howells I'll get that letter out straight-away.
Thank you.
You're a good man, Steve.
Just a minute, please.
Hey.
Hi.
Yeah, I spoke to a girl who works at the club.
She's seen him there.
With a couple of others.
She didn't have him down as a groper.
Behaved himself.
OK, thanks, Lisa.
I'm sorry I can't take your call at the moment.
Please leave a message, thank you.
Evan, it's Steve.
Listen, I don't know what's going on, but the police are hassling your missus.
So, um, I'm here, OK? Whatever you need, just .
.
say the word.
OK.
Data retrieval have come up with something.
48 hours before he went missing, Evan Howells did a bit of online shopping.
£78.
50 on a DNA paternity testing kit.
So either he's been playing away Or, he suspects his wife.
I think we need to keep a very close eye on Mrs Howells.
.
.
First thing this morning, when I went to make tea in the kitchen.
Looks like someone tried to break in last night.
Hiya, Faith.
Hiya.
I don't think they got in.
Opportunists, probably.
I did ask Williams not to bring you in.
She took his computer this morning.
Listen, um .
.
I haven't said anything to her, right? But I know you were out in your car on Wednesday night .
.
after midnight.
You told me you were at home.
I was at home, at midnight, like I said.
Well, it was just a couple of minutes, Terry.
Oh, Faith Just a couple of I know, I I know, I know.
It's just Just Gareth's Taxis phone me, he said he'd seen Evan's car at Tom's Carvery.
I went there to find it, he wasn't there.
You should have called me.
Yeah, I know that now.
I know that.
I should I shouldn't have gone, but I'm desperate.
I'm And I'm shit scared.
Yeah, of course you are.
Listen A man like Evan, right? Mmm.
A good man.
Yeah.
He wouldn't If he was going to .
.
do something stupid .
.
you'd have to know it.
What if he wasn't a good man, Terry? What if he was a complete bastard? Faith Howells, wife of Evan Howells.
I need five minutes.
Evan's been missing since Wednesday morning.
I have no idea where he is or why he's gone.
But, I have every reason to believe that you know more about him than I do.
He has been speaking about his sessions? No, I learned about you from our GP.
After I put a gun to her head.
Well, I Missing? Yeah.
He went to work.
Never arrived.
A man who buys next year's diary in March! Please, have some water.
You'll appreciate that my conversations with patients are confidential.
Even when lives are at risk? What would Buddha say? Hm? He's having an affair, isn't he? No, no.
He This is nice.
All this.
Why was he so stressed, then? The usual things.
Money I'm really not sure I can I confess, I've never been in this situation.
Yeah, well Join the club.
Has he ever spoke to you about wanting to run away or kill himself? No.
He spoke about me? Only in the warmest tones.
Other women? I said no.
The only one other woman I recall him mentioning is his mother.
Marion.
They seem unusually close.
They confide in each other.
He says they often speak two or three times a day.
Well, I'm lucky if he calls me once.
Yeah, well, sons tend to idolise mothers.
Mm.
What else? There's an incident from his childhood that has been preying on his mind.
A friend of his who drowned.
It was a big trauma.
His parents didn't speak about it.
Alec Fenton.
Yeah.
I suggested that he talked it through with Mother.
Do you think he loves me? Yes.
Then what? Please.
I think .
.
he was feeling insignificant.
As if, in pleasing others .
.
he had lost any sense of himself.
She is lying.
She must be.
She's hiding something.
It's not fair, I've got the council elections in two weeks.
Who's going to vote for me with this hanging over the family? I don't know.
I just feel like we've all been lied to.
Like there's a cuckoo in the nest.
Why on earth do you want to be on the council? All the petty nonsense.
Because I love Abercorran! I want to give something back.
Good for you.
Mum, come on.
Hey.
Hey, come on.
He'll turn up.
Bethan.
There's something I Tell me, Mummy.
It's Faith.
Well, answer it, then.
Hello, Faith.
Uh, I'd like to have a chat.
Maybe I can pop around after I've picked Megs up from swimming? Fine.
OK, then, I'll see you later.
She's got something to tell you.
I knew it.
The marriage is dead.
Please, can we talk about something else! I'll see you at the Rotary tonight, then.
If it's not too petty for you.
Ma'am, looks like our black BMW's back in the area again.
Camera picked it up on the Carmarthen road.
Could be a connection to the attempted break-in at Howells' last night.
How did you get on with Frank? Is there any film of the reverend? No, the Oh, right, the thing at He doesn't know that, does he? Bring him in.
Ma'am, I really don't think bring Send Jones in, would you? Yes, ma'am.
Hi.
Are you Megan's mum? Yes.
Um, unfortunately she can't go in the water today.
She's got a verruca on her foot.
And we do ask parents to check.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry.
I've been We'll get this sorted.
Sorry.
OK? Don't worry.
Megan, you know you said the other morning that Daddy went all pale when his phone rang? Was that the first time that had happened? Not really.
What do you mean, "not really"? Sometimes when his phone rang, he went to the study and locked the door.
What, when I was out? Mostly.
Who do you think he was talking to? I don't know, sweetheart.
Don't know.
Hey Let's go get Alys Let's go get Alys Let's go get Alys And we can all go home.
Come on.
Mum, what are we doing here? I need a word with Granny.
And it's not going to wait.
Oh, hang on.
Hi, Delyth.
Yeah, all right.
Yeah.
Yeah, put her through.
Hey, Maggie.
What's happened? Right, well, I'm really, really, uh, busy at the moment, but Hey, Maggie.
Cool down.
Cool down, Maggie.
Yeah Yeah, I'm on my way.
Yeah, OK.
Unbelievable.
Shit .
.
bricks! Hello.
Hello.
Mum had to go.
Stop, stop! He's gone to the cliff-top.
I think he might jump, Faith.
Calm down, calm down.
It's going to be fine.
Everything is going to be absolutely fine.
We're going to find him and we're just going to go home.
All right? DI Williams asked him to come into the station for further questioning.
She says she's got evidence from the bank that he took £200.
There he is! Faith.
Faith, Faith, there he is.
I'm making my way down now.
OK.
Keep your seat belt on.
Bryn! Keep your seat Maggie! Let me go.
Maggie! Calm down.
No, no! Let me go to him.
No! No.
No, no! No.
I know what to say to him.
No, no, no.
I know what to say to him! Shh! Please let me go! Shush! Police.
Yes Terry I can't remember his surname.
Detective something.
.
.
Yes, yes.
Yes.
Yes, please.
Bryn.
Bryn.
It's Faith.
Want to have a chat? Beautiful, isn't it? Yes, it's It's lovely.
I've erred and strayed, Faith.
Well I'm glad about that.
Because, um, I'll tell you something.
Behaving yourself doesn't get you anywhere, does it? I've given 30 years of my life to this parish.
Now it's That's all I'll be remembered for.
For a couple of hundred quid? Hardly choirboys, is it, Bryn? Count your blessings.
DI Williams - she's after me for murder.
It's a cruel world, isn't it, Bryn? I'll go to jail.
Defrocked.
Disgraced.
I don't know about that.
Evan My Evan.
He was going to strippers in Swansea.
All that sin just down the road there, Bryn.
Can't get away from it, can you? Can't get away from it, it's everywhere.
Bryn Bryn.
People love you, Bryn.
They do.
Your full-dunk christenings were They're famous! I'm sure that's why all mine, they swim like fish.
Please, Faith, let me be.
Sod 'em.
You sod 'em.
Sod what they think.
Because we know who you are, right? Look at me.
Look at me, Bryn.
Shall we jump? Faith? Five minutes.
Your parish treasurer said that £200 has gone missing from the collection.
Is that the length of it? It's all the old fool managed to spot.
Right.
Well, do we know if there's any other evidence? Police have gone down the bank to check CCTV.
If they can prove I deposited the cash, well I must have known it was short.
What was the money for, Bryn? Food, drink, heat, lighting.
Couple of second-hand dresses.
Couple of tights.
If I tell the truth .
.
we both would fall.
It's my fault.
Failure to provide.
You were an occasional member of my audience Mmm.
What should be the Christian way? The truth, the whole truth? Is that your advice? Lies? Either way .
.
I'm a bloody hypocrite.
Oh I wish I'd jumped.
Bryn is willing to take the blame, if that's what you'd like.
Is there anything you'd like to say? The world is light and dark, Faith.
Sometimes we have to go to the dark places.
Life gives the seeker no option but to beat the devil at his own game.
I needed that money.
Do you accept that every week Edwin Rhys makes a note of how much was collected and shows it to you? Yes.
And that money entrusted into your self-care has now gone missing? It's possible.
We've made enquiries at your bank.
We've asked them to supply us with footage to prove you made the relevant deposits.
The camera doesn't lie.
Have you got the footage? It's on the way.
You're jumping the gun, then.
You've got no case.
As you well know, Mrs Howells, the sooner an accused confesses, the more lenient the sentence.
Just, please I have no wish I really want this to be over with, please.
There's no footage, is there? And, uh You must think me really stupid.
Can I remind you where we are, Mrs Howells? Oh, yeah, yeah.
We've been here before, haven't we? Hmm? Remember? Inventing evidence is an old habit of yours.
What's going on? We're going home, Bryn.
Come on.
No evidence.
You're an angel.
Spread your wings, and I'll be praying for you.
I've got to go.
Gave you all that you needed You were cut, but I'm bleeding And all of my strength I give to you I love completely You lose then you leave me And all of my hope Left with you too But I gave my heart All I did I gave my heart And although it's lost It is still beating And I gave my hope It's all I did I gave my soul And although I'm broken I am still breathing I will sleep through the moment All the moments you've stolen All for my love I'll know the truth That I gave my heart Faith! I thought you were the taxi.
Marion.
I think you might have something to tell me.
I know how often you and Evan spoke.
Oh, hello, Faith.
Any news? Marion and I were just having a chat - she'll be with you in a minute.
Oh, righto.
Phew.
Silly - feel a bit nervous, haven't done this for ages.
Oh, you'll be brilliant.
Sorry I was sharp with you earlier.
We'll stick together.
I promise.
Don't be long.
It's something to do with this, isn't it? Mmm? So, uh, who is she, then? Cos that's all I need to know, really.
She Don't you dare.
Don't you try and protect him, Marion.
Don't you dare! Not this time.
It's not him, Faith.
It's Before he was born .
.
I was seeing someone else.
I told Evan last week.
I thought it was for the best.
Who? He was just a friend.
Does Tom know? Are you going to tell him? I have to go.
Do you think this suit's all right? Perhaps I should've worn the other one.
You look very smart, Tom.
Last week, Marion told Evan .
.
that Tom might not be his dad.
I take it Bethan doesn't know.
Uh, no.
That'll be a treat.
Oh, poor Tom.
The kids love their grandpa, don't they? Mmm.
Why couldn't he just tell me, Terry? That's the bit I can't handle here.
I'm his wife.
I know.
Well, I don't know.
Do you know? I don't know.
Arthur Davies give you any joy with that driver of the BMW? Oh, didn't turn up to do his e-fit.
Difficult man to track down, being of no fixed abode.
No good end to this, is there? Faith, don't say that.
You have got to stay positive.
Mmm.
It's getting harder.
Madam Foreman, have you come to a verdict which is the verdict of you all? We have.
On the single count that Ms Erin Glynn did on the 18th of September of this year murder Mr Patrick Graydon, do you find the accused guilty or not guilty? Not guilty.
Ah, lot number 12.
Ohhh.
Rekindle the flame with a luxury break for two - at the St David's Hotel.
- Ooh! Any weekend in November.
Includes full use of the spa.
Ooh! His and hers massage.
Ooh! And pamper sessions! And if your other half's busy, I'm sure you could take a friend.
Right.
Who's going to start me off at £250, please? That hand went up very quickly, Mr Morgan.
Well done, you.
Straight out of the traps.
Oh, and look at the smile on Mrs Morgan's face.
Aw, isn't that lovely? Now, ladies, talking of smiles, surely it's worth putting a smile back on his face, don't you think? Who's going to give me £260? You're not a lady! But thank you very much.
Here by yourself? Busy time.
I admire Terry's loyalty, Bethan.
But, uh, you and your family should know there's an awful lot your sister-in-law isn't telling us.
.
.
hand has now gone up, and that takes us to 400, sir.
Thank you very much.
But I tell you what I'm going to do now.
I'm going to leap to 450.
Who'll give me 450? Tell you what, I'm going to make it 350 for you.
What are these two like? 350, 350 Evan, it's me.
I know about Marion.
And I'm really sorry.
Really, really sorry.
I just wish you could have told me.
I love you.
I love you so very much.
I just I just want to give you a really big hug.
Get out of the bath! Please phone me.
Get out of the bath! Please, please.
Mam, he's got bubbles everywhere.
All right, all right.
Just a minute.
They're halfway up the wall.
Oh, OK.
All right.
Stop it, Megs, please.
I'll get up there in a minute.
Hello? It's Steve.
Steve Baldini.
How did you get my number, Steve? You gave it to me.
Listen, I need to talk to you.
Urgently.
Faith, you there? Look, I can't speak now, OK? Here I am once more In the same familiar circumstances Trying to make some sense of all of it Come on.
Here I go once more Going round and round in this fairground Holding on for dear life again And I thought I'd know by now I did And though the tides have turned somehow, I'll live And hearts will never get old enough That they don't break They keep beating on anyway And hearts will never get old enough That they won't bruise And every time you lose you'll say Here I go, here I go Here I go again Here I go, here I go Here I go again And I fell for the pretty lies Cos hi's are easier than goodbyes But now I'm left alone here with the blame
