Us again.

Oh, don't worry, we're not here to out your affair to your wife.

Do you know what Total Harmony is?

I started volunteering there too.

That's Jane, Pam's daughter.

She was killed three years ago, 48 hours before they introduced curfew.

It was a woman.

If we talk to Sarah, she's just going to deny it, isn't she? I mean, she's

shielding her kid.

If we let her go, she might just lead us to Cass Jackson.

Holding on to that many secrets takes a toll.

Sarah was at mine and she was agitated. Said she needed a tag encoder but it

wasn't for her and said that someone was blackmailing her for it. She knew that

you had the key and not Cass. How did she know that?

Help! So either Cass told Sarah where the key was or the blackmailer did.

Sarah wasn't trying to cover for Cass.

She was trying to save her.

I can look after myself today.

Single victim, woman in her 40s, his mother, who just died in hospital from a

head injury.

Neighbours heard him yelling, calling her a stupid bitch, and then she started

screaming.

Has he said anything yet?

Nothing much.

Just that she was his mum and he loved her.

Yeah, I get tired hearing that one.

Would you just excuse me a minute?

Hi,

love. Are you home?

Yeah, I can look after myself, you know.

Yeah, so you keep telling me.

Listen, did you remember to... Double up the doors, yeah, close the blinds, grab

my rope whistle and arm myself with a cricket bat just in case.

Yeah.

I love... Teenagers.

Now, should men be made to stay at home at night in order to keep women safe?

That's the issue being debated in the House of Commons today.

The Women's Safety Act is a law that protects women. Does this pit women's

rights to safety against men's rights to freedom? It's discrimination against 50

% of the population.

Well, that's it.

In a hugely significant vote, Britain has become the first country in the

to introduce a curfew on all men.

The tag is worn at all times and requires men to remain at home between

7am. If men learned how to behave themselves, then we wouldn't have to

these extraordinary measures. The crime statistics demonstrate that the curfew

is working.

We've lived through a period.

of segregation no progress comes without pain or reaction a group who call

themselves alphas is spreading online hate and misogyny huge protests have

sprung up across the country calling for an end to curfew if we lift the curfew

how do we protect women

okay kath jackson's been

taken Whoever's got her has Sarah Jackson so terrified she's willing to

a murder she didn't commit. And now she's on the loose.

They want access to a coda, which implies that it's a man.

Kath was abducted this morning after the murder, which means that this woman,

this woman here, is the key to our killer and to Kath Jackson.

She must have known both Helen and Sarah. We've cross -checked every

suspect with the ANPR and nothing. So either this woman's not on our radar or,

more likely, the car isn't.

Wait, wait, wait. What's that movement?

What movement?

Play that bit back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at her shadow.

It goes back and then forth like she's walking round the bonnet.

Well, she's gone to the passenger door.

Far, far.

She didn't open it.

Maybe she was looking for something.

A half second and then she doubles back.

It's not the memory.

She's going to the other side of the car because that's where she thinks the

steering wheel... She's used to driving on the other side of the road.

Sean Williams? They're immediate in the country. The car, the hire car. I'll

call a response team.

Look, can we keep this short?

I've, uh... I've got to get back before my wife figures out where I've been.

When Ben Williams was here this morning, he was agitated, wasn't he? He was in a

rush to get back. He didn't want his wife to find out about the affair.

But she already knew.

If you think I didn't know about that, Detective, you're wrong.

She found out at the parent -teacher event yesterday. She didn't even seem

bothered. Bit inappropriate. So why was he in such a rush?

What did he need to get home to?

Ben Williams has Cass.

We were there. This afternoon, we were right there. What a great crack team we

make. He killed Helen.

But why? And why is Sian helping him? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know yet,

he's holding a teenage girl hostage. Right, mobilise an armed response unit

the Williams' house.

Freddie, you're with me. Let's try not to fuck it up this time, yeah?

Aisha, can I have a word? Sure.

Freddie told you, yeah, about someone wiping her few records. Every night, a

woman at the pink house. Yeah.

Ferguson sealed all the files on the murder cases. I need you to get into

OK?

This can take much longer. Well, that depends.

On what?

On how honest you are.

And safety set her shot.

I told you to put her body in the car before I went into the lake.

You what?

I just spent my morning at the police station dodging questions.

All because you couldn't do what you were goddamn told.

If you only had done what you were supposed to, they wouldn't even know

was dead yet.

You have fucked up.

We're on their radar now, Sean.

And we're on a goddamn timeline.

The girl better give us that fucking coder.

Fuck you.

Tell him to wear the coat or his cast.

Please.

Or he's going to hurt you.

He's going to hurt me anyway.

Max, go upstairs and help

your mother clean up.

But I think... Don't start with me, Max. Please.

Things need to seem normal around here until we get these tags off.

We can't draw any suspicion.

Now go.

Go!

I

need

that coder now, sweetheart.

Where is it?

I told you.

I don't know.

I tried to take it back to the tagging center last night.

But when I got there, it wasn't in my bag anymore.

Someone must have taken it.

Okay, good. Who?

Wasting time's not going to help you, Cass.

If you think...

come and save you, you're wrong.

Did you know they arrested your mom for murder?

What?

Who is she supposed to have killed?

Helen Jones.

It's a shame.

Such a beautiful friendship ending in tragedy.

I told your mom.

I told her.

If I so much as hear police siren three blocks from here, I'm going to slit your

throat.

So your mom, she's going to take the fall for all of this just to save your

ungrateful ass.

You and I can do this all day long, Cass.

No one's coming for you.

Who has the coder?

Let's think about that one for a minute, yeah?

Where's your mother? She's upstairs with Grandpa.

Dad, what if we can get these tags off without a coder?

There's got to be another way, right?

Screwdrivers, pliers. Yes, great idea. Go see what we have in the garage.

Okay.

Daddy the doctor. Well, he's not getting one.

What's wrong with you? I don't think you fully understand what you've done here.

We need to get these tags off and get out of the country before the police

down our door, Sean.

All right.

Mom? Dad?

Who's that?

In the kitchen, everyone.

We act normal.

No, no, no. You go upstairs, okay? Go be with Grandad. No, no. We stay together

on this. He is nervous, okay?

It's better that he's out of the way.

Fine. Go, go, go. Now.

Clean up the tools.

Go down and gag her. What? If she calls out, we're fucked.

Go.

Off again.

Oh, don't worry, we're not here to out your affair to you, although I would

a word with her. And to check if Kath Jackson is here.

What?

Kath Jackson.

Kath!

Sorry to interrupt.

I want a quick word. I'm DI Green, this is DC Wilson.

Is this about what happened to Helen Jones?

We've just come from her house. It seems she's got quite a bit of mail from you,

Miss Williams.

All hand delivered.

Seems you were very keen to get her testimony regarding the incident at the

training centre.

I'm assertive. That makes me a good lawyer.

But I am really thrilled to hear about what happened to her.

I think I'm done asking.

Mom.

The dad has it.

Where do we find him? I don't know, Sean.

Sarah will.

Where are you going?

The police are around here asking questions. Then they haven't believed

story. Which means it's only a matter of time before they release her.

Watch her.

Is she okay?

She's alive.

I kept them off your trail.

I bought you hours and now give her back to me.

Yeah, there's a slight problem.

She doesn't have the coder.

Your dead beauty of an ex stole it.

Greg.

No, your other dead beauty of an ex. What are you doing?

What are you doing, Sarah? Don't fuck with me here.

Remember, I have zero qualms of killing those who stand in my way.

Now get me the coder.

Where's he gone?

Is he with my mum?

Is he going to hurt her?

He just wants a working coda.

He could untie me.

We could go to the police. I can't.

My kids, they don't need a father like that.

Oh, God, you don't understand.

I admired you, you know.

I thought you were brave.

Strong.

You don't know the meaning of those words.

Just help him get the tag off and we'll leave, OK? We'll go.

And then what?

More violence?

More death?

They'll turn into him.

He promised me a change.

If we came here... ..if we subjected himself to this system...

Promise me this time we'd be safe.

And I believed him.

Why don't you just leave him?

He's been in my head for 20 years.

Telling me I'm his everything one minute and then telling me I'm worthless the

next.

Telling me where I can go.

Who I can talk to.

Hurting me when I don't listen.

Begging me for forgiveness after.

I can't leave him.

Every time I try, I just can't.

The police called. They want you to go in.

What if you're still there when Dad gets back?

It's okay, listen, baby. What do we say when Daddy gets back there?

What do we say?

It's not really him. Exactly. It's not really him. All right, for you to stay

out of his way until it's him again.

Yes. Go, go, go.

It doesn't work.

What? The code that Greg has, it must have been deactivated.

Well, then you have two options, Sarah.

Go back to the Women's Safety Center and get me a new one.

Or I go back home and I kill Cass.

What? Great. I'll see you at the Women's Safety Center.

Did you get it?

Vera, did you get it? Yes.

Yes, I got it.

Give it to me. Give it to me!

What's the code?

3421, but you'll have to hurry up because of the activate.

How long?

It needs to go to the central system, so I don't know how long it'll take, but

you need to hurry up.

Ah!

Ah!

Fuck! No!

You and me, we're partners in crime.

Ditching up your husband for breaking curfew, frying a man who had the

to be angry at you.

Sweetie, it's been fun.

I trusted you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, your judgment and character is shit.

You deserve better than that man.

It popped right off.

Where's Max?

He's in the basement.

They deactivated it.

We've got no time.

When that clock hits seven, we're trapped.

What are you doing? I'm going to shock it. See if I can short circuit it. No.

It's fine. It won't hurt him. It might.

Then what do you suggest, Sean?

Wow, super helpful. Get out of my way.

Mom. It's okay. Everything's going to be all right.

Okay.

Stop it. Stop it. Let her go.

All right. All

right. Okay. How about we get some big garden sheets? Huge ones. I've already

tried it.

What about some Vaseline, some butter, something slippery?

We could.

If we broke his foot.

So that's what I'm saying.

Yes, no, it's a great idea. A clean break and we can pull it right off.

genius. Are you insane?

What did you say to me?

Say it again.

I know you're there.

Are you really going to let him do this, Max?

She killed Miss Jones.

And now you care.

What? Of course I do.

After what you did to her?

It's a joke.

A joke?

Do you even realize how terrified she must have felt?

How violated?

No, don't pretend to care now.

What good is

Put it on.

Hey, look, look at me.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Move out, move out. Let's go.

Everybody wait behind the perimeter. We go on my order, okay?

You two at the back. Cover me.

Boy, oh boy, seen an awful lot of you today. All units in position.

What are you doing up there?

Just hanging out with my father -in -law.

Enjoying the nighttime air.

What are they doing?

Looks like you brought your old gang with you this time.

Stay back.

Hey, stay back.

Stay back. All right, all right.

Where's Cass, Mr. Williams?

Well, we're dealing with... with a few issues on this side.

You wouldn't by chance have a working coder on you, would you?

Could you get me one?

Can't do that, Ben.

Well, you see, you've got to work with me here, D .I. Green.

I don't want things to get out of hand. And I don't want anyone to get hurt.

Then help... Help me. All right. What do you need from me? I already...

I'm working toner and I need to get my family out of this fucking country.

That is not going to be possible.

Well, that was the wrong thing to say.

Yeah! Get a medic!

Medic? Medic, there's no breath.

I need the street closed. I need a unit on all exits. He's in the basement. I'm

guessing that's where he got Cass Jackson. What about the family? The

They're all in there. We don't know what weapons he's got access to, so we

cannot go in there. All guns blazing, all right?

Copy that. He's dead. He's dead.

Somebody get that fucker on the phone!

You killed him. You fucking killed him! I needed to show them I was serious.

Oh, yeah, and then what, Ben?

Then fucking what? Do you even have a plan? Get the fuck away from me! Oh, no,

you said you would stop hurting me! Oh, don't give me that victim bullshit!

If you had just done what you were told and put the body in the fucking lake, we

wouldn't be in this position.

Dad, what is the plan?

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

The plan is we're going to get the fuck out of here.

Let's get this off, yeah?

Has he got her?

Mr Jackson!

No, no, no!

Get back, Mr Jackson! Get back!

Is she okay?

Right, get behind the perimeter. Why is that man not under curfew? Because

that's his daughter they've got in there. Oh, my God! No, the sack! I'm

kill her! Get them behind the line. Somebody cover up that body now!

Pam.

Where's he got them?

He's got them all down in the basement.

Good luck covering this one up, Sue.

What do you mean?

I mean that this is a really public arena.

No way you can pin this on a woman.

What exactly are you accusing me of? Twelve public murders since curfew came

into effect. All twelve of them committed by women.

You knew those convictions were unsafe and you sealed those files anyway.

No. What do you mean? I mean, look.

Westminster. Didn't want anything potentially controversial coming out

close to the vote, so yes, yes. They asked me to seal the files, but Pam,

women were guilty.

They were.

We just didn't want any room for doubt.

Doubt?

What, as in a fair and thorough investigation?

Yes, some of those women might have committed those crimes, Sue, but there

way all of them did.

Oh, do you really believe they got you to seal files on watertight cases?

They abused you, Sue, for their own ends.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, ma 'am, ma 'am, ma 'am. Ma 'am, it's him.

It's him on the phone.

Got him.

It's the audience.

Respectfully, D .I. Green, I was really hoping you could have helped me.

Oh, I think respect went out the window a long time ago, don't you?

Just throwing your father -in -law off the roof.

He's dead, by the way, in case you're interested.

He was a bastard. And you're not.

No. I'm just trying to do what's best for my family.

I hope you don't mind me saying this, but that is a really, really twisted

perspective. No.

No. You know what's twisted?

This little world of yours where you lock men up and you still call

the victims.

Oh, really?

And who is the one who was viciously beaten to death? Mr. Williams.

Bear with me, will you, sweetheart?

Keep her talking.

Sean,

Sean, Sean, Sean, can you hear me? Listen, why don't you just come out?

and I'll bring children with you.

I can't, um, I can't do that right now.

Is anyone hurt, Sean?

Is Cass with you?

I'm here.

Stay away, okay? And he won't hurt her.

Okay, that's good.

That's good to hear.

What happened, Sian?

Why did he hurt her?

She found out, hadn't she?

About the way he was treating you?

You weren't volunteering at Total Harmony.

Sian, wait.

You were going to ask for help, weren't you?

Sian, do you need help?

Is he hurting you?

What did you see, Sian?

A bruise.

Bruises. Oh, my God.

I'm sorry.

That's what you were whispering about the parentages of him.

You went to meet her.

Someone you didn't want him to know about.

She was going to say something, wasn't she?

She'd figured out.

She'd figured out what he was.

She'd figured out what he is.

How could you?

She just wanted to help.

Then why are you helping him, Sean?

Fuck you, Sean.

Fuck you.

You give us a perimeter.

20 feet back.

We'll go and we'll leave the girl behind.

I can't do that, Mr. Williams.

Then what can you do for me, detective?

And maybe there isn't a way out of it.

What do you want to do?

Just give up?

Strolling out of here with our arms up?

I will get us out of this.

Just look at me. Look at me.

Please don't leave me!

Stop moving!

They're coming out!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Hold fire!

Hold your fire!

Come, come. Quick, quick.

Return to your home. Get away from the door. Where is he? He's in the basement.

Be careful.

He's hurt.

Moving in the hall!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Tell them to move back!

Send them back! All right, get back now!

Off the drive, now!

You heard her! That's an order!

Now me and my family are going to get in that car, Jackie.

You don't have to do this, Ben.

Don't see any other choice. I'm not spending the rest of my life in jail.

get in the car now!

No, no, no, I can't let them go. Don't talk to me that way. Do not talk to me.

This is my family.

I can't let them go.

Don't push me!

It was Max, wasn't it?

What are you talking about?

It was Max.

Not you.

That killed Helen.

Your tag.

It hasn't been coded, has it? That's why it's yellow.

That day at the tagging center.

In all the chaos.

Sarah never activated it.

You've been free to go wherever you like.

I assumed someone would notice.

And they never did.

I didn't know what to do.

But you did do something.

I saw the paper flower, Max.

In the window.

Ellen had the same flower on her desk in her house.

Thank you.

Max.

Max.

I didn't mean to hurt her.

Max! Let me guess.

You loved her, huh?

But she didn't feel the same way, did she? Is everything okay at home?

Oh, she talked to you. She showed an interest in you, but you misunderstood.

She wasn't attracted to you.

She was worried for you.

She knew what was going on at home. Helen?

Max, it's after curfew.

What's happened?

I wanted to see you.

You've got to stop giving me these.

Jesus!

Max!

You're just a boy.

This is crazy.

And you felt humiliated.

I just felt so angry.

Like it was someone else doing those things. But it was you.

You didn't want to face up to what you'd done.

Just like your father.

So you asked your mum for help.

But it was too much for you, wasn't it, Sean?

It's too much violence.

Too much pain.

First

your

husband, now your son.

You wanted to make a statement.

This bloody useless system.

I wanted everyone to see that we're not safe.

We're never safe.

And neither are they.

You stupid bitch.

This whole day, I've been trying to save us here.

Well, you want to stay, then you stay.

I'm leaving.

Hey, it is over.

It is over.

Does it feel over to me? Does it feel over to you? All right, okay.

Whoa, I'm backing off. You are. Okay, don't hurt her. Do not hurt her.

Okay? Let's go.

Look at me. Look at me.

Take it easy. Stay back. Look at me, Ben. Stay back. Look at me. Stay back.

Stay back.

All right.

All right. I will kill her. All right.

Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Don't. Don't do this. Don't do this,

Don't.

Don't make him think. Don't.

Don't do this.

Mum.

Mum. Are you okay?

I need you to come with me, please, sir.

Eddie.

So it's day dinner, is it?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.

Hey. Hey, pal.

Okay, it's all right.

Let's get you over here. Okay. Yeah, let's.

Everything's going to be okay, pal. All right, all right, okay.

Okay?

Mom?

Hey, are you listening to me? You're safe now.

Just give me your hands, eh? Listen.

Relax, okay?

Get you cleaned up.

I promise I'll do better.

I'm sorry, Mum.

Mum, Aisha managed to get into the files.

Seems all the local cafes had the same administrator.

Take special care with items belonging to Sian Williams. Let's not forget it's

her we have on CCTV moving the body.

C .I. Green, D .C. Wilson.

Excellent police work, thank you.

You've been on shift nearly 18 hours now, haven't you? You both head home.

What, so you can pin this on Sian Williams?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Ferguson believed those women were guilty, but you knew the truth, didn't

You've been sent here to watch us.

To protect us. curfew by any means necessary.

I'm always happy to help focus investigations in the right way.

It was you that broke into my house, wasn't it?

It's been a very long day for you, Pamela. You're exhausted.

Go home. Do you really think that was an acceptable price to pay for curfew? I

don't need to remind you, Pamela, what curfew's done for crime stats in this

country. How much safer women are, how much freer. Sian Williams wasn't safer.

Helen Jones wasn't safe.

Cass Jackson wasn't safe. And how many more women without it?

What happened to your Jane wouldn't have happened if curfew had been brought in

just two days sooner.

You think about that.

Mum.

What are you going to tell them?

Mum.

Is there any truth to the rumors that several men have been able to break

curfew?

How can we protect women?

Does curfew even work?

Do you agree? Is this the end of curfew?

Did you sleep last night in the

pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine?

I savored the whole...
