[water lapping gently]
[footsteps approach]
[tense music playing]
- [Josh] All right?
- [girl] Who is she, Dad?
[Josh] Don't worry. Go and
help Grandad with dinner, okay?
- I'll be with you in a minute.
- [girl] Okay.
- [man laughs] Come on. You must be hungry.
- [girl] Can we make pasta?
[tense music continues]
[music fades]
[Josh] Kat…
You look well.
Do you know who Dana Fells is?
No. Who are you talking about?
She went missing a week ago, and she said
that she was going on holiday with you.
I… Kat, I don't know what
you're talking about.
- I've been here with Sadie. I…
- Is that your profile?
Yeah, but no. I don't
do social media.
Sadie does every
now and again, but…
I think she made this
Facebook profile for you.
[Josh] She thought I was lonely.
She set that up ages ago.
I've never used it.
What's going on?
Do you live with Sadie's mum?
She died.
A few years ago.
Her dad moved in with us.
So, a case.
That's why you're here.
I also signed up on that
dating app, and you were on it.
Well, I'm sorry. That's not me.
You walked out and left.
I had to.
You chose to.
I messed up. I know.
I messed up.
- I thought it would be cleaner if I just
- [shakily] It wasn't cleaner.
I get that. I'm sorry.
I don't want an apology. I
want you to be honest with me.
[Josh] I loved you so
much. You have no idea.
[Kat] I know what happened.
You went to go and see
Monte Leburne in prison,
and you found out about
my dad being corrupt,
his secrets getting him killed.
And that's why you ran?
You knew?
Yeah. I knew.
- Why didn't you tell me that?
- [Josh] I couldn't.
- I couldn't.
- We could have got through that.
Kat, the truth would've
broken you. Okay?
You don't understand.
I'm sorry.
[unsettling music playing]
- No, I'm not doing this.
- Kat. Kat.
Just stop. Stop.
[Kat] You left me.
- [Josh] I know. And I tried to move on…
- You left me.
[Josh] …but it was always you.
I love you so much. I still…
- [Kat] No, I'm not doing this.
- Kat.

[dramatic music playing]
[Clem shouts] You don't
wanna do this, Dana!
We're all coming after you!
[man] Come on, lads. Hurry up!
Boss will be back soon!
You don't come out,
we'll kill your son.
Better hope we find you.
For his sake.
[man] Might as well come out now,
number six. We're gonna find you!
[dramatic music continues]
[music fades]
[phone chimes]
[tense music playing]
[Titus sighs] Come
on, Detective.
- [Reynaldo] We've been here too long.
- Quiet!
[ominous music playing]
- [Titus] Who's the boy?
- [man] It's her kid.
Number six's son.
So he knows Detective Donovan.
[distant dog barking]
[tense music playing]
[Reynaldo] Maybe him and Six are
both working with the detective.
Maybe Six is a
plant or something.
If the detective was working with
Six, she'd have come for her already.
[phones buzzes]
- What is it?
- [Clem] We have a problem.
Six is on the run.
[Titus] Define "on the run."
She's legged it.
She can't have gone far.
We've searched the woods
up to the main road.
[Titus] Get me her
kid's phone number.
- [Clem] I'm on it.
- [disconnect tone]
[tense music continues]
[Clem] We need
Six's son's number.
- GPS, if you can get it.
- [man] Right.
[sighs]
[gasps]
[music fades]
[door creaks]
[tense music playing]
[door closes]
[Clem] If she was in the woods,
we would've found her by now.
[phone chimes]
[Clem] They're getting her son
and bringing him back here.
[tense music continues]
Get someone to
check the stables.
I'll sweep the barn again.
And check the other
assets are still secure.
[door closes]
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Brendan.
[Brendan] Who is this?
On the corner of Old Emerald
Street, there's a blue van.
Your mother is in the back.
What?
[Titus] If you're not here
in two minutes, she dies.
Wait. Who is this?
[Titus] One minute, 58 seconds.
[dramatic music playing]
Hello?
- Brendan, listen to me.
- [Brendan] Mum!
- Yes, baby, it's me.
- [Brendan] Where… Are you safe?
Brendan, get yourself
somewhere safe now.
I'm coming to get you.
I'm at the van now.
Run! Brendan, just run!
Brendan, can you hear me?
- [Brendan screams] Help!
- Brendan!
- [Brendan] No, get off!
- [call disconnects]
[music fades]
[scuffling]
[Brendan shouts] Help!
[grunts]
[Kat shouts] Stop!
[engine starts]
- [Kat] Brendan!
- Help!
[tense music playing]
Stop! Police!
Help!
[engine roars, tires screech]
[Kat shouts] Brendan!
[music fades]
[ringing tone]
[Brendan] Hey, it's
Brendan. Just text
[dial tone]
[Dana gasps]
[yells]
[dramatic music playing]
- [slices]
- [Clem gasps]
- [music stops]
- [gasps]
[body thuds]
[distant siren wailing]
- What have we got?
- [Charlie] Uniform cordoned off the scene.
- Kat, you're not supposed to be here.
- You need me. I can find Brendan.
I know this case
better than anyone.
[Nia] I've spoken to
the team on the ground.
We got footage from someone's
dash cam. It's not great, but
- [Charlie] We're running the van's plates.
- Brendan's phone?
- Ditched 500 meters from your place.
- [Stagger] What else do you know?
They used Josh's picture
to catfish Dana Fells.
- Josh?
- Mm-hmm. We've spoken to him.
- It's fine. He's not involved.
- You've spoken to Josh?
We think the catfisher was using
pictures from archived Facebook accounts,
Josh's included.
My office now.
[tense music playing]
- So you spoke to Josh. What did he say?
- [music fades]
Spoke to Calligan as well.
He said only a policeman could've arranged
special treatment for Monte Leburne.
It was you, wasn't it? You
got him favors on the inside.
[Stagger] All right. Yes.
I paid Leburne to say
that he killed Clint.
Why?
Because sooner or later,
it would've all come out.
Clint working for Calligan.
All of it.
I couldn't do it to
you, or to Odette.
And what about… what about Dad's
affair? Did you know about that too?
[sighs]
- You could've told me the truth.
- [Stagger] God, Kat, what is the truth?
That my dad was a liar,
a criminal, a cheat,
and that's what got him killed.
- What about you?
- What about me?
- Were you on Calligan's payroll as well?
- No.
- Is that why you had to cover this all up?
- You don't get it, do you?
I had to get a confession.
There is no way you
would've let this go.
You'd have spent
your life digging,
and you'd have either found out all
of these secrets about your dad,
or Calligan would
have gone after you.
I made a promise to your dad
that if ever anything happened to
him, that I would take care of you.
And I kept my word, Kat.
Those were his sins, not yours.
I just…
just wanted to keep you safe.
[emotional music playing]
[music fades]
[Clint] Happy
birthday to you ♪
I've got something for you ♪
My birthday was six months ago.
And our 26th wedding
anniversary was last night.
- Never shop when you're in a panic.
- [Stagger] You're kidding me?
You bought Odette a
dog? She's allergic.
Yes, I'm a terrible husband.
It's been established.
Come on, man. You've
got to help me out.
- No.
- My marriage depends on it.
I swear, if that dog craps
in my shoe, you are dead.
[chuckles] I knew I
could count on you.
[Nia] Sir.
Stagger.
We've got something.
[Charlie] It's best to start
your search around here.
What's happening?
Right, so the van's license plate
belongs to a Miss Callie Simms,
but her van's sitting on
her driveway 200 miles away,
and look, it's clearly
not the same vehicle.
So they must've been using
a cloned plate again.
We've used ANPR to track
the van as far as we can,
and it's been travelling
south on the A5303.
[Charlie] Uh, it was picked up
by these first five cameras,
but it wasn't by the sixth, so we assume
it must have turned off round about here.
What exactly is down there?
About a dozen farms
taking up 30 square miles.
We don't have time
to check them all,
but the plate has been spotted going
into the same convention-center car park
three days in a row,
and there was a dog show
on there at that time.
So we looked at the farmland again
and found a couple of dog breeders,
so I wanna start there.
Okay, you two get down there.
Take one unit from here.
And I'll get a local team to
meet you there for backup.
Do a trawl for any recent police reports
or suspicious activity in the area.
It might help us narrow it down.
Good work, everyone.
Hey. Hey.
Stay safe.
Yeah.
[tense music playing]
[Reynaldo] Should I
put him in the barn?
[Titus] No, bring
him into the house.
[Brendan grunts]
[dog yaps]
Hello! Hello, good boy.
Don't move.
[Titus] What's this?
Is that… Is that blood?
Oh, thank goodness.
It's not yours.
- [ominous music playing]
- [dog yaps]
[Reynaldo] Six must've
come back here.
She might've called the police.
She could be anywhere.
What do you wanna do?
Go to the barn.
There's petrol in there.
Start spreading
it round the farm.
We're gonna burn it all down.
[tense music playing]
[phone ringing]
- Anything good?
- [Charlie] Yes.
A woman filed a complaint,
saying she was being stalked
by a local dog breeder.
What do you mean, stalked?
Yeah, allegedly, he
was following her
just because her and her husband were
trying to adopt one of his puppies.
I'm sending you the dog
breeder's address now.
[phone chimes]
[siren wails]
[man] Check the lock-up!
- Move!
- [man 2] Out the way!
Hurry the fuck up! Are
all the cars loaded?
[Reynaldo] We've gotta torch
the inside of the stables.
There's seven assets
left in there.
I'll leave them inside.
[ominous music playing]
[Brendan] What about my mum?
[Nia] Fuck, there's a fire.
[Kat] Call it in.
[Nia] Urgent assistance required at
Redwaithe Farm, Dertree Road, Wyrham.
- Request fire and ambulance at location.
- [woman on radio] Copy that.
[tense music playing]
[man gasps]
[man 2] Thank you!
[Dana] That way, quick.
[music continues]
[Nia] Stop here.
Kill the lights.
That's the van that took Brendan. You
check it out. I'll go check the farm.
Kat. Kat, they've got hostages.
We've gotta wait for the team,
armed support. We can't just run in.
Brendan's in there. I'm
not just gonna sit here.
[Nia] Fine. I'm
coming with you, then.
You're not the boss of me
anymore. I passed my exams.
Just stay here. Radio backup.
Make sure they know
where we are. Okay?
I've got this.
[music fades]
[chain rattles]
[Dana] Shh, shh.
[whispers] It's okay.
[woman] Oh, thank
you. Thank you.
[door closes]
[unsettling music playing]
[gun cocks]
- [man yells]
- [dramatic music playing]
[all yelling]
[man] Get him
down. Get him down!
[all yelling]
- [Reynaldo screams]
- [music stops]
[door closes]
[unsettling music playing]
[music intensifies]
[music fades]
- [Dana] Come on, just keep going.
- [Titus yells] I've got your son, Dana!
[ominous music playing]
Did you hear me? I
said I've got your son!
[Brendan] Don't come
out, Mum! Just… just go!
- [Titus] Quiet!
- [Dana] No. Oh my God.
[Titus] I haven't got time
for your ridiculous games!
Come out now, or
I'm gonna shoot him!
[music continues]
[Titus] Did you hear me?
You've got until
the count of three!
[Titus] One!
Two!
[Brendan screams]
- [dramatic music playing]
- [Brendan screams]
- [Dana] Brendan!
- [Brendan screams, sobs]
[screams]
[Titus] Just got
the knee that time!
Let's try again, shall we?
[Dana] Don't hurt him.
Good to have you back with us.
[music fades]
[Dana] Everyone's escaped.
Just let Brendan go. Please.
It's okay, Brendan. It's
gonna be okay. I promise.
Drop it.
[Titus] Those assets are
mine. Where are they?
[tense music playing]
[Kat] Police!
Stop! Put the gun down.
Oh, shit.
[Titus] What the fuck are
you doing? Get off me!
I'll shoot you in the head next!
[Dana] Get away from him!
[Brendan] Mum!
[Kat] Drop the gun!
[tense music builds]
[music fades]
- [somber song playing]
- Don't you wanna… ♪
[Dana] Brendan!
- [Brendan] Mum!
- …fade away? ♪
Oh, and just let
go of everything ♪
Of everything ♪
And watch the
colors fade away ♪
- Thank you.
- [Kat] Don't mention it.
- Told you we'd find your mum.
- [Brendan] Never doubted it.
[Kat] Hang in there, all right?
[phone chimes]
[somber music continues]
- [siren wails]
- [tense music playing]
[ringing tone]
Hello?
I found Parker. Like I promised.
Are you sure you wanna
go down this road?
[Kat laughs]
[Calligan] You can't
un-ring this bell.
Send me the address.
There's a reason why I never bothered
with wife, kids, all that nonsense.
No one to disappoint.
Happy fishing.
[disconnect tone]
[phone chimes]
[tense music playing]
[man] Oh, lovely!
[men laughing]
[man] All right, mate?
[music fades]
[knocks]
Hi, I'm Detective Donovan.
I'm looking for Parker.
[footsteps approach]
[man] Kat.
You're Clint's daughter.
I'm Parker.
[dramatic music playing]
Come on in.
[music fades]
You look like him.
Shall I put the kettle on?
So you and my father were…
I always thought it would
be Odette come knocking.
I've been thinking about what
I would say to her for years.
I'd say that… [chuckles] …Clint
would have loved it here.
But…
he would have hated it.
He was too big for a
life as quiet as this.
You were together?
Yes.
For how long?
[Parker] Fourteen years.
And it didn't bother you
that he had a family?
That he was cheating on my mum?
Of course it bothered me.
But you compartmentalize.
When you love someone, you…
ignore things.
Pretend they don't exist.
You mean me and Mum? You
pretended me and Mum didn't exist?
[Parker] Yes, I did.
So did he
when he was with me.
Your dad was a complicated man.
Yes, I am hearing
that a lot. [sighs]
I had to ignore a lot of things,
if I wanted to be with him.
I kept trying to leave,
build a life away from him, but
he had this way.
He was… [chuckles]
…fearless.
Unstoppable.
He made you believe that
anything was possible
when you were with him.
Hard to walk away from.
He loved you both very much.
- Don't.
- He just happened to love me too.
Inconvenient, really.
Do you know who Calligan is?
Yes.
He knew about you two, didn't he?
That's how he got Dad to work for him?
Yes.
Calligan blackmailed Clint
into working for him.
Clint went along.
Until it was too much.
He couldn't live with himself.
He told Calligan he was done.
Broke it off with me.
Said we were through.
When was the last
time you saw him?
The night he died.
He couldn't stay away.
That's the truth.
Couldn't be with me, but… [chuckles]
…he couldn't let me go either.
He was a mess that night.
He said we had to end our relationship
before Calligan said anything.
I've never seen him so afraid.
Something scared him that night.
He ran off in a panic.
Days later,
I saw on the news…
he was gone.
That was it.
[sentimental music playing]
I never really got
over losing him.
He was the only man
I ever really loved.
I still miss him so much.
I'd give anything,
forgive anything,
just to be with him
for a few more seconds.
[shakily] Me too.
[music fades]
[emotional music playing]
How long you been waiting here?
Eleven years.
[emotional music continues]
I'm not really up for
a big chat right now.
- I get it.
- It's been a really long day.
How about I buy
you an ice cream?
Works with Sadie.
[Josh] Eleven years.
I never went a day without
thinking about you.
- [music fades]
- You changed your name?
I wasn't in a good
place after I left.
Bar fight in Scotland?
- You found out about that?
- Mm-hmm.
I thought leaving
would make this, us, easier.
It was just… It was like
holding back a storm.
We were meant to end up
back here, weren't we?
Where are we, Josh?
Here.
Now.
Together.
I just spent a whole
morning with someone
who waited a very long
time to be with someone.
I don't wanna wait.
[dreamlike music playing]
You can ask me
anything you want.
Whatever you wanna
know, I'll tell you.
[dreamlike music continues]
[music continues]
[music continues]
[music fades]
- Hi.
- Hey.
I need to go and pick up Sadie.
But I don't wanna leave.
You can live without
me for a few days.
Can I?
[shower running]
[cell phone ringing]
- [phone clicks]
- Bit early, isn't it? What do you want?
It took a few days, but the fingerprints
from your dad's murder weapon came back.
- [Kat] What? There's a match?
- [Charlie] Yeah.
Well, you only gave me, uh,
you know, a partial print,
so it's not perfect, and
we can't say for sure
Charlie, just get on
with it. Whose is it?
[tense music playing]
The match was from a
bar fight in Scotland.
[unsettling music playing]
[Charlie] I'm sorry, Kat.
- Kat? You still there?
- [phone beeps]
[unsettling music continues]
[shakily] You?
Kat, listen to me.
I didn't mean to kill him.
I was there the
night your dad died.
So was Aqua.
Aqua saw your dad with Parker.
- [Clint] Come to the flat.
- [Parker] That's it?
You bring me some flowers, and
all will be forgiven? Nah, man.
- Listen. You know how I feel about you.
- You can't keep doing this.
- What do you mean?
- I don't deserve it.
- [Clint] Fuck. No. No.
- [Parker] Clint?
Clint!
- No.
- Clint.
No, no, no. Fuck!
- [Parker] Clint!
- Oh, shit!
She said she'd never seen him
like that before. He just lost it.
[phone ringing]
- Hey.
- [Clint] I need an address.
Aqua Vanech. I need it now.
Yep. I'm on it.
I'm texting it to you.
What's wrong? Why
do you need it?
Fuck.
- [shouts] Fuck!
- [disconnect tone]
[ominous music playing]
[Josh] Stagger tried to
get to Aqua's before Clint.
Aqua called me.
She sounded worried.
I wanted to tell you the truth.
He said no one would believe us.
- [banging on door]
- [Clint] Aqua. Aqua!
[banging continues]
I know you can hear me!
[banging continues]
[phone ringing]
[phone clicks, ringing stops]
Aqua!
[ominous music intensifies]
Aqua!
I need your help.
Please, just talk to me.
[music fades]
[Clint] Please.
Please, just… don't tell
Kat. I'm begging you.
I'm not gonna tell Kat anything.
But you need to tell her
and Odette the truth.
- I know what you're going through.
- You don't know anything about me.
You think you've
got it all sorted?
'Cause you're free?
You can be who you
want, love who you want.
- [scoffs] You've had it easy.
- You think this has been easy for me?
You have no idea what I've
had to do to get here.
Do you have any idea the things
I've had to do to protect my family?
I know how much you love them.
But you have the right
to be true to yourself.
It's your life
and your choice how you live.
[Clint] I don't get a choice!
I've lied to everyone
about everything.
You don't understand.
I've destroyed everything.
Done so many things.
They'll understand.
They love you.
Not when he tells
them everything.
Who?
[phone rings]
Are you fucking kidding me?
Why is my daughter calling you?
What have you told her?
[ominous music playing]
- Stay away from my family!
- Get the fuck away from me.
[Clint] Stay away from them!
Do you hear me?
- Stay away from them!
- [Aqua gasps]
Why is Kat calling you?
What have you told her?
Do you hear me? I
Stop. Get the fuck back!
[knife clatters]
[Aqua groans]
[gasps]
Hey! Hey, no!
What are you doing?
Stop! Put the knife
down! Clint, it's me!
- [Josh] Oi!
- [Clint grunts]
- [knife slices]
- [Clint groans]
[music fades]
I didn't mean to kill him.
[gasping]
- Oh fuck. Clint!
- [gasping]
Just breathe. Breathe.
[Clint] It's all my fault.
Don't tell Kat.
No police.
Please. No police.
- We need… we need to call an ambulance.
- [Clint] No police.
We can still save him.
Where… Where's my phone?
Where's my Shit.
[Stagger] It's too late.
- [whispers] What?
- [Stagger] Kat can't know.
- No.
- [Stagger] Or Odette.
[somber music playing]
You heard him. No police.
Give me your phone.
Give me your phone.
[music fades]
[Josh] Stagger took care of the
crime scene to protect us all.
We convinced Monte to confess,
so the case would be closed,
and everyone could go
back to their lives, but
seeing your face every day,
I had to leave.
[Kat sniffling]
- [softly] All right.
- [Kat sobs]
But this past week, you've… you've
still been living with the lie,
so what was your plan, Josh?
What were you gonna do?
[Josh] I don't know.
I just… I just wanted
to be with you.
I wanted you to be happy.
I'm sorry.
[Kat breathes deeply]
