I've lost Evan.

Step outsideNfor a minute, Mrs Howells.

My children. They've taken myNchildren away.

They, they need me.

Mr Baldini. To what do we owe theNpleasure?

3kg of best Colombian.

120,000, bank transfer is fine.

We trusted him. Evan did the dealNbetween us.

That's Alpay's car. We've got to go.

No, we can't just leave.NWe can't go.

She's dead, she's dead.

We should have done something.

Williams will have called for help,Nwhat could we have done?

Alpay said she was workingNfor the Glynns, right?

Did she mention the money theyNwanted from Evan?

Didn't get a chance.

Some idiot scared her away.

Is that your phone?

New phone, is it?

Dealing again, are you?

Great.

It's just for keeping in touch,Nthat's all. Right.

Just the old crowd from the band.

I'm ecstatic.

Hello?NYeah, you want to fry your brains.

Go somewhere else. Arthur's out ofNbusiness. Piss off!

You happy now?

Huh? Give me the phone?NGive me the fucking phone.

Who's this then?N"Are you still with her?"

It's not what you think.N"Are you still with her?"

Sorry. You tell me now.NSorry. No, you know something.

Tell me now. Sorry.

That's Alpay's car! We've got to go.

No, we can't just leave.

We can't go. She's dead.NShe's dead.

Bastard.

Bastard.

Yes, who is it? Faith Howells.

I'm closed, Mrs Howells.

I need to speak to your guest.NHe's not in.

Mrs Howells, please.NIt's late. Where is he?

Well, he isn't back yet. Arthur? YouNLittle shit, where are you?

Where are you, you shit!

Right, I'm just going to go throughNyour stuff.

That's it. What an earth do youNthink you're doing?

Giving you something to gossipNabout, Eira.

This should keep you goingNfor months.

It's 4am, Mrs Howells.

Must be serious. I have no money.

Nothing, zero.NEvan and I had a deal.

120,000 bank transfer is fine.

Your problem. The deal is a deal.

Why do a deal with the man

who helped your husband'sNkiller walk free?

Evan is an interestingNand complicated man.

What?

You really didn't get him, did you?

Bitch.

Eight and a half dead.

Business is good, is it? Oh, yeah.

Never better.

Spot-on.

Same time next week.

I can't stop thinking aboutNthe children.

Sleeping in strange beds.

At least we know they're safe.

I've tried to give Faith theNbenefit of the doubt but...

..truth is, we never knew herNfamily, where she came from.

I seem to remember you welcoming herNwith open arms.

Evan was so infatuated.

I tried to like her.

Maybe that was my mistake.

Price?

I've got a RTC, one fatalityNon Gwern Ganol Road.

I'm under the bridge. Oh...

I'll get round there soon as I can.

Morning.

You're up early.

A house doesn't run itself.

Is that new?

What do you care? You can't evenNboil an egg.

Do you think maybe you should justNstay home today?

I am up to my eyes, Terry.

You're up at six baking...

..taking pills and...

..stealing things, which isn'tNnormal, you know?

You should arrest me...

..Mr Policeman.

Ma'am.

Have we got an IDNon the deceased yet?

Apparently so. So, what have we got?

Um, there are two sets of skidNmarks.

So, there must have been twoNvehicles and...

..I suppose the other driver mustNhave left the scene.

What's that?

An earring?

Nice work, Price.NStick it in a bag.

See to clear up.

Mrs Foster? Yes, it's Faith Howells.

Megan's got a swimming testNthis afternoon at four o'clock.

Thing is, she needs to wear herNverruca sock.

Well, you'll just have toNcos it's really important to her.

Please do, thank you very much.

Your friend has left withoutNpaying his bill.

No friend of mine.NWell, you can give me his details

because I'm informing the police.

Try the local off-licence.NBye-bye.

Hello?

Hello?

Who's this?

What was going on between FaithNHowells and the dentist, Dr Alpay?

She died.

Horribly, last night.

Faith Howells,Nis she really worth it?

If that's how you want it.

Mrs Howells' children have been inNfoster care for a night now.

No, no, that's great, thank you.

Sorted. Got us in front ofNJudge Daniels at four.

Today? Yes. Today. God.

Are you saying I'll get my kids backNtoday? Yeah.

Listen...

..what are our chances? We'll getNthem back, Faith,

but we've got to deal with hisNWilliams crap first. Yeah.

Here. Here's the footage.

This is dynamite, Faith.NBut it cannot come from you.

It places you at the scene ofNa crime. OK, not good.

We've got to drop this bomb withoutNcollateral damage.

You look great, by the way. Thanks.

I feel shit.

Was that your firstNvisit to the dentist? Yes.

What did you do, just pick herNout of the phone book?

Internet. And, two days later,Nshe's dead.

Nine miles up the road. It's an oddNplace to be of an evening.

Halfway up a mountain, all byNherself. I agree.

Where were you yesterday evening,NMrs Howells?

Working the office. Arthur DaviesNwas with me, he helps out sometimes.

He's rather good actually, isn't he?NWhere is he now? Well, you tell me.

And after you'd finished at theNoffice, did you drive out

on the Gwern Ganol Road?

Are you asking if I was involvedNwith Dr Alpay's death?

I wasn't. But I would be fascinatedNto know what you think

I might have done.

Tampered with the brakes maybe.

Your friend, Steve Baldini,Nwas in here last night.

He lost his temper.

He's very protective of you.

He's up in court this morning,Ncriminal damage.

He'll do time. No more weekendsNwith his daughter

and I've a feeling there's somethingNhe might tell me.

My client has nothing to sayNabout... I'm sure it was fun

while it lasted. Is that it?

No more. Great.

On the bright side, I hearNyour kids are settling in. OK.

All right.

Faith.

Faith. Bitch!

You're all right.

OK?

Right, where you going now?

I'm going to help Steve get bail.NThe children's hearing is at four.

I know, I'm not going to miss it,Nam I?

I've got to do something, I've gotNto do something! I'll be fine.

Jesus! Steve Baldini canNlook after himself!

The crown objects to bail, ma'am.

Mr Baldini's extensive record

demonstrates a serious risk ofNre-offending.

He's breached bail conditions manyNtimes in the past and there's no

reason to believe this occasionNwould be any different, ma'am.

There are times to give the benefitNof the doubt

but this isn't one of them.NHe is a serious offender

who's failed to demonstrateNany ability to reform his character.

I represent Mr Baldini.

May we have a moment? Please.

Be quick Mrs Howells. Thank you.

Alpay's dead.NArthur's been spying on me.

I think Williams put him up to it.

We really must get on.NJust smile for me.

If it helps, we're minded to remandNhim in custody before trial.

I think there's been some terribleNmisunderstanding here, ma'am.

Mr Baldini was doing his best toNassist police

when this alleged offence occurred.NHe's Italian. You see, he's Italian.

You know what they're like whenNthey're talking with their hands,

when they're talking.NIt was just an accident, ma'am.

He has a long history of previousNoffences, Mrs Howells.

Including supplying a Class ANsubstance to minors.

I struggle to see him as a suitableNcandidate for bail.

Ma'am, I think that...

I think that...

I think we all make mistakes.

Some small.

Some big.

And shouldn't we recogniseNa person's attempts to do good?

Shouldn't we?

Frankly, I knowNMr Baldini personally.

He has done more to help me try toNfind my missing husband than anyone.

Including the authorities.

He's a good man.

And I thank you for that,NMr Baldini.

Please.

Please, ma'am, let him go.

Sorry I'm late. I've beenNcancelling meetings.

Don't know where we are at theNmoment.

Cappuccino? Thank you.

Delyth, I fear the firm will beNforced to close.

It's no way to repay youNfor years of loyalty.

But I'll do what I can.

Evan could still turn up.

You have to have hope, Tom.

I found some papersNin his office the other day.

Things that...

Shameful things.NYou don't have to tell me.

Sometimes, you're too honestNfor your own good.

The world doesn't runNon straight lines, Tom.

You don't have to either.

I'm not sure I do.

Don't be afraid.

Stop doing what's expected of you.

Just live your life your way.

Set yourself free.

I've got a theory about Arthur.

Paddy Reardon tried to recruit meNonce to get some info on the Glynns.

I'll try and contact Gael Reardon.

I've got you into enough trouble,Nthat's for sure.

Faith, the supplyingNto minors charge...

..they were two ladsNwho said they were 19.

I'm ashamed of who I was back then.

I was lost.

That's the past.

You have a daughter who needs you.

And I have children who need me.

And I wish you luck.

I believe in you, Steve.

Faith! Hey, babes! Hey! It's me!

Faith, come here!

Faith, she asked me to post it forNher. What?

Sorry. She asked me to post itNfor her, hope you don't mind.

What? Alys's video.NYou must have seen it.

No. You must be the only one in townNwho hasn't.

Honestly, everyone's watched it.

Hey, hey. See you later.

Love you. Bye, love you!

Daddy?

Just...

..I love you andNI want you to come back.

I don't care why you left.

It doesn't matter to me.

But I just want you back home safe.

I love you.

We love you. Mammy loves you.

So, please...

..can't you just come back? Please?

Yeah?

Yep?

Tom would like a word with us.

When you're ready.

I'm afraid I took the liberty ofNsearching through Evan's files.

I discovered one...

..marked Pederson Plant...

..which appeared to containNcontracts

that he drafted for the sale of...

..fictitious lorries, and suchlike.

For the Glynn family.

A money-laundering exercise.

I should have taken itNto the police but...

..he's my son.

And the absence of a suicide note

seems to suggest he'd wanted toNspare us the shame

that public exposure of his crimesNwould have brought.

I destroyed them.

No doubt you'll soon beNwinding up the firm.

At least you'll be able to do thatNwith your reputations intact.

I presume he actedNwithout your knowledge.

- Yes.N- I take full responsibility.

I should have been keepingNa closer eye.

Tom. I need you to give evidenceNfor Faith this afternoon.

We're trying to get the socialNservices order lifted

so the kids can come home.

I'll consider it.

I'll have a word.

All right,

you need to round up more witnessesNand I need to figure out a way

to explain how Evan got mixed up

with criminals and ran offNwith their money.

It's fine. It's a family court,Nit's confidential.

It's a straight choice, Faith.

If you want your children back,Nyou have got to dump on Evan.

What is more important?

See who you can rustle up.NWe have four hours.

Afternoon. Chief Inspector Parry.

Swansea CID.

Constable Price.

Abercorran.

Investigating the traffic accidentNin which Dr Alpay died.

We've had her under surveillanceNfor several weeks.

It's quite the pharmacyNshe has here.

Yes.

There was another set of skid marksNat the scene.

Whoever was thereNleft pretty quickly.

If you'd be kind enough to...

..forward me the details.

The thing is...

..the reason I'm here,Nactually, um...

..would you have heard aboutNour missing persons investigation?

Evan Howells, yes, of course.

Well, Mrs Howells was here the otherNday apparently for treatment.

There was a burglary at her home andNan attempted break-in

at Howells Solicitors.

And Dr Alpay was a witnessNin a murder trial.

Constable.

If Alpay was operatingNa drugs factory,

there's got to be a whole supplyNchain, a network or something.

Maybe Baldini's part of it.

Or maybe Evan...NPrice found an earring.

Jones, show it to Mrs Howells,Nsee if it's hers.

Why would it be hers?

Wild guess?

Do you mind if I come with you?

Hello? Hello, I'm Faith Howells.

I've got a meeting with the head.NHello, Mrs Howells.

I'm afraid the head has had toNcancel this afternoon.

She can't do that, this is critical.

I'm really sorry, Mrs Howells.

I'm really sorry.

Keep your body straight.

Gavin. Yeah? I've a favour to ask.

There's been a mistake, my children,Nthey've been...

The thing is, we're going back toNcourt this afternoon

to challenge it and I wondered ifNyou might be prepared to...

OK, I see. Look, it's nothingNpersonal.

No, I understand, OK.

This is a surprise.

I thought we and the GlynnsNwere sworn enemies.

I don't work for them any more.

But if they knew I was here,NI'd be dead.

I want you to leave Faith alone.

Evan left her brokeNand the business.

Whatever went on betweenNyou and Evan is his problem.

You must be very fond of herNto take such a risk.

It gives us something in common.

I was very fond of Evan,Nextremely fond.

He was a good man. A good man.

And he went.

You know where?

You ship my product...

..we both make money and you get toNbe the knight in shining armour.

It's funny how love hits you.

You think you're in control

and then someone comes along andNturns the world upside down.

What do you say?

Uh-huh.

Sorry to disturb you.

Yours, I believe? Maybe.

Did you lose one like thisNlast week?

No, I don't think so.NAre you sure, Faith? It's important.

Would I lie to you?

It was found at the sceneNof Dr Alpay's accident.

Were you there, Mrs Howells? Haven't you everNheard of the Police And Criminal Evidence Act?

Something called a caution.

So you're not prepared to answer?NAre you embarrassed by this, Terry?

Maybe you'd like to checkNyour jewellery.

Maybe you'd like to fuck off.

Evan. Evan.

Evan! Fuck off.

Come on! Oh!

Evan?

Evan, it's me. Mum?

Alice? Mum? Alice? Hello.

How did you do...

I'm on Katie's phone.

Right. I know Dad's password.

OK, listen, you mustn't let anybodyNsee you, all right?

Hiya.

What's happening, Mum?NI just want to come home.

Megan was sick all night.

And Rhodri wouldn't stop crying.

All right, listen. I'm goingNto go to court this afternoon

at four o'clock, and everythingNis going to be OK.

I promise you, everything is goingNto be OK.

But what if it's not?

Who will we live with?

Daddy said if you died it would beNUncle Terry and Auntie Beth.

No, no, that's not going to happen.

Alice? Don't let them see you,Nsweetheart.

Sweetheart, don't let them seeNwhat you're doing, OK?

But why can't we go up there?

Alice?

Come on.

Come on, don't go worrying.NI need you to be...

Where has Evan put his will, Delyth?

Come on, come on, come on.

There must be a copy. He alwaysNdeleted after printing.

He kept the wills in hard copyNto prevent tampering.

You know, Tom could be wrong -

maybe he was deceivedNinto doing what he did.

You know how he always trustedNpeople.

He was using fake ID, Delyth,Nand going to strip clubs!

Right? He was a liar.

Bloody liar!

Faith... I wish I'd neverNmarried him.

That's what I wish.

And you, you, you stop...

You stop protecting him, Delyth.

Stupid. Faith?

Faith, where are you going?

Shit! Not again.

I'm guessing you didn't find it?

Evan, there's something I've beenNmeaning to tell you for a long time.

There's no easy way to put this.

A man I once knew died last month.

I think he was probably your father.

His name was Owen Fenton.

You may remember him.

You and his son Alec were friends.

It was before I was married.

Everything was up in the air.

Evan, I kept this to myselfNout of love for you and Tom.

As far as I'm concerned,Nbiology is irrelevant,

it's what we mean to each otherNthat counts.

Evan?

Does Dad know?

I'll choose the right moment.

And what exactly do you want meNto do with this information?

You can't stand the fact that we'veNbuilt contented lives for ourselves.

In a place that you've spentNa lifetime resenting!

Do you really begrudge our happinessNthat much?

They-they were your dreams.

If you didn't chase them,Ndon't come to me looking for pity.

This is it, Mum.

This...

This is reality.

This... This is all there is.

We try to make a living,

we look out for one another...

..and we die.

Evan...

If it's not in the office,Nit has to be here in the vault.

'Hello, you're through to the answerNmachine of Tom and Marion Howells.

'Please leave a message and we'llNget back to you as soon as we can.'

Tom...

Tom, I need to see you now.

"Only to be opened in the eventNof my death."

Hey, look at this, dated 14th,Nthe day he went.

"Dear Faith, I screwed up.

"I never meant to, everything I didNwas for all the right reasons,

"out of love for you and the kids.

"All I wanted to do was lookNafter you and provide for you all.

"I trusted people in good faith.

"I tried to do everything right,Njust like you would tell me to,

"but they betrayed me.

"It turns out being honestNisn't enough.

"You have to be a snake,NI'm no good at that.

"At the bottom of this letterNare details of a bank account.

"The money in it is the proceedsNof crime.

"Take this letter and the file to anNoutside police force as soon as you can.

"Please forgive me, I love you withNall my heart but I have to go now.

"Goodbye. Evan."

He did love her. I knew it.

He's too honest for his own good,Nlike his father.

Do you really believe he's dead?

He's gone, Faith.

When will you tell the children?

Look, I could do it, if you prefer.

No.

No.

It's got to come from me.

Tom, I need you this afternoon.

Uh...

Alice, Megan, Rhodri, they need you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry I didn't keepNa closer eye on him.

But trust me when I'm telling you,Nyou trust them.

Should I have been doubtingNmy own husband? Should...?

Faith...

..tell me, honestly...

..do you have feelingsNfor this Baldini man?

Hello?

Oh. Right, OK.

You got a letter from Evan?

With his will. And you've seen it?

No, not yet. Cerys found it.

Apparently, there's a bank account.

Criminal money, laundered cash.

He's got caught up in something.

And this, this is...

This is going to sound crazy, butNI think that Williams is involved.

Something odd is going on here,NTerry.

The burglaries, the threats.

Arthur's been spying on me, and...

..and Alpay said she was beingNleant on by a corrupt detective.

I'm sure... I am sure that WilliamsNhas got something to do with this.

Why would she use Arthur?NBecause he's cheap and vulnerable.

She knows that I know.

This is why she's using my children.NShe wants to destroy my bloody life.

You were at the crash site,

Faith, weren't you?

It was your earring,NI recognised it.

I arrived after it happened.

The car was in flames, OK?

Williams was already there.

And you saw her?NYeah, I saw her, yes.

But I wasn't wearing earringsNlast night, Terry.

Will you help me?

Will you speak for me in courtNthis afternoon, please?

Oh.

Faith, I don't know, I...

Please.

OK.

I've got to go.

Yeah. I've got to go.

OK.

Right, it was in the envelopeNwith his will,

but I really don't think you shouldNlook at it until after...

Give it here.

OK. You're not going to like it.

"Dear Faith. I screwed up.

"I never meant to.

"Everything I didNwas for all the right reasons,

"out of love for you and the kids.

"All I wanted to do wasNto look after you,

"provide for you all.

"I trusted people in good faith.

"I tried to do everything right,Njust like you'd tell me to,

"but they betrayed me.

"It turns out being honestNisn't enough.

"At the bottom of this letterNare details of a bank account.

"the money in itNis the proceeds of crime.

"Take this letter and the file to anNoutside police force as soon as you can.

"Faith, please forgive me.

"I love you."

He's saying he still loves me -Nhow could he?

Yeah, I warned you. Eh? I warned youNnot to read it before the hearing.

How could he? Look at this.NLook at this!

Look, look. Let's just focusNon the case.

Lying till his last breath,Nthe bastard!

Right, Faith, look at me. I need you to holdNit together for me until after this hearing.

Can you do that? Yes, of course.

Come on, we've got this.NFocus on this, that's all.

Ignore her, Faith. You're innocent.

Are you OK? Mm-hm.

Yeah, she's all right,Nshe's emotional.

Right, don't be long, OK?

Yeah, yeah. Faith.

And you've got the full list ofNBaldini's 13 previous convictions?

Mm. Makes interesting reading.

Ma'am.

Please, God, if you're there,Nplease bring them back.

Please.

Mrs Howells, I'm arresting you on suspicionNof the murder of Dr Meral Alpay.

Mrs Howells.

Mrs Howells.

Mrs Howells! Mrs Howells!

Mrs Howells!

You've got five seconds.

Mrs Howells!

Get out there now. Mrs Howells!

Come out, Mrs Howells.

Come on.

Mrs Howells. All right.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

Come on. Right.

Hands in front of you.NHands right in front of you. Hands.

Why? Why now? New evidence.NWhat evidence? Cerys!

Cerys! Cerys! Mrs Howells.

Cerys! Mrs Howells! Cerys!

She's been arrested for murder.NMurder? Whose murder? Dr Alpay.

They were associates. You can stopNthis right now, Inspector.

You were there. You were thereNin person when Alpay died.

I've got the evidence right here.

You're on phone.NThey'll say anything.

Ma'am, I'm afraid I have to arrest you for fleeing theNscene of a fatal accident. Sorry, what are you doing?

What are you doing here? You were driving the carNDr Alpay swerved to avoid. You can't trust him!

I've seen the footage. Get off.

Get off. This is... I'm allowing youNyour dignity.

This has got to be a joke.

What you got there?NWhat's that? Mrs Howells' phone.

I'm assuming control of thisNenquiry.

Let Mrs Howells go. Thank you, thank you. She's under arrest.NOh, for God's sake, just do what he says!

I'm going to need that phone. You'reNnot out of the woods yet, Mrs Howells.

Thank you. Right, come on, Faith,Nwe're late.

Shit. My phone.NForget about your phone.

Why is he taking my phone?

Evan's letter's on it.

Where's the original?NI had to flush it.

Great, well, it's lucky I madeNa bloody copy, isn't it?

Right, now, listen, WilliamsNis out of the picture now.

We're in the driving seat here.

I'm going to need to phone...

I'm going to need to phone Lisa.

Give me your phone.

OK. Keep going.

I've got to move that money, quick.

Come on.

Pick up!
