Tell 'em to turn it off.

Get your things together.

Sorry I'm late.

I'm Anna. Anna Shenford. I know you've already had

your pre-release interview, but I'm taking over

from your probation officer, so I just thought I'd meet you

and check everything's in order.

Daniel Brennan, in for...

murder.

Could you confirm the first line of your nominated address for me?

Erm... just excuse me a moment.

I'm very sorry, erm,

but I didn't book an interpreter for this meeting.

Er, that's my fault. Erm...

can you read lips?

Could that work?

Looks like you're a model prisoner.

Volunteering, studying.

And you've got your money, your travel warrant.

Erm, have you read that yet?

You break the law, break any of your license conditions,

and I hand you over to the police, and they put you back here.

Yeah, do you understand?

You don't, do you?

Er, no. Erm...

- Ready to go when you are. - Er, just a second, okay?

Um, is that your phone number,

and is that your nominated address, your parents'?

Okay. Erm...

You go to your parents',

and I'll meet you there tomorrow, not the contact center,

and we'll do this properly with an interpreter.

Erm...

I'll call you to confirm.

Don't forget that.

You've got a second chance here.

I hope you make the most of it.

You want a lift?

Hiya, this is Christine.

Just leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Morning. Erm, I'm calling from Southdale's Probation Service.

It's about Daniel Brennan.

I missed you!

Morning. I'm calling from Southdale's Probation Service.

It's about Daniel Brennan.

Apologies if you've already been made aware,

but your victim liaison officer should have informed you

that he's being released from prison today.

I've told you about my husband. He died a few years ago.

Well, there's a bit more to it than that.

He was...

He was murdered.

Oh, God, I'm sorry. That's awful!

The man who killed him,

I knew he'd be coming out of prison at some point.

But I just blocked it out of my mind -

I didn't want to deal with it, you know?

Oh, yeah, I get it.

It's strange, our families were so close.

I wrote to him in prison.

No reply.

Requested visits.

Denied.

I just want an answer to one question, why?

You don't know why he did it?

No. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

I didn't want to scare you with all this baggage.

Look, I did 30 years in the police,

and there is nothing that you can do, nothing that you can say,

that will scare me off.

Miri's not back yet, so we can have a quick drink.

- Wow, this is nice. - Thanks.

Will you grab me those glasses? -Sure.

What is it? What's wrong?

I'm, er...

I'm sorry, Christine. Erm...

Miri's going to be back soon, in't she?

Erm...

Maybe you should just...

tell her what's going on. You know?

I don't know what I'd even say to her.

Well, I'm sure she'd understand, but...

you don't want me here with all that, do you? Y'know...

just complicating things.

Okay.

I tell you what. I'll call you in t'morning. Yeah?

All right.

Dad would be so happy about this bursary.

What's the sign for bursary?

Award? Award? Nah.

Or...? Maybe...?

- Yeah, that works. - Okay.

Do you think I should turn off my voice when I do the speech?

Will they have interpreters?

I don't trust the interpreter.

I'm going to work on it some more.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

Mom? Are you okay?

He's out of prison.

Brennan?

I'm so sorry.

What, they just let him out?

If he does anything stupid,

he goes straight back in.

I'm sorry.

I know it's a shock.

I only found out today.

It brought back so many feelings,

questions about why your dad died.

Well...

If you need anything,

if you want to talk...

I'm here for you. You know that.

I'm going to work on this some more.

Have you got kids?

You got a photo?

All right?

I said, "All right?"

What's that you got there? Let's have a look.

Give it me.

Fuckin' hell!

What happened? Did you get hit on the head or summat?

Oh, wait.

Are you deaf?

That why you can't speak?

Is that your daughter?

How old is she?

Must be ripe, I reckon.

When I get out,

I'm going to fuck...

your little girl.

I'll see you later, yeah?

Morning!

Ah! Morning, Carly. You all right?

Sorry, boss. The bus were a nightmare again.

Right, what can I get for you?

What the fuck are you doing here?

Not here.

Yeah.

Whose fault were that?

How am I?

I just paid off the mortgage, bought a new car.

I'm in line for a promotion, actually.

Why are you still wearing that?

Few years, then.

Look, er...

You're upsetting me staff.

I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

I don't know who you are,

but you can fuck off now.

- Hey, you. - How you doing?

How did you get on with Miri?

Y'know, as well as expected.

Oh, I'm sorry. What are you up to now?

I'm just looking through his parole paperwork,

seeing if I've missed anything.

It's about the board's decision.

It just doesn't say anything about why he did it.

I'll tell you what,

why don't you leave it for now,

and I'll have a look at it later

and see if there's anything we can use?

Oh, babe, I've got to go. Bye.

Who were you talking to?

Oh, it's just a friend.

Which friend?

What's this? Nothing.

Is it Brennan?

Has something happened?

No! Nothing's happened.

Why are you being weird with me?

It's his parole paperwork.

All this time, you knew he was coming out?

You'd just moved to London. I didn't want to distract you.

Is there anything else you want to tell me?

Oh, Miri...

I'm trying to give your son a chance.

There was a mix-up with the interpreters before,

but he's supposed to be here.

Is there anything you can tell me that might help me find him?

Anyone he might be staying with?

If he doesn't show up soon,

I have to report him in breach of his license.

Yeah? That means he goes back to prison.

You don't want that!

Thanks very much for your time.

They're disappointed.

Wait. What are you saying?

Erm, sorry, I'm just going to clarify. Sometimes the same sign,

it means different things. It depends on the context. Hold on.

What do you mean, disappointed?

We regret what happened.

We'll never understand why he did what he did. He never explained it.

Not to us. Not to anyone.

We said goodbye to our son...

when he went into prison.

When he came out...

that's not our boy any more.

We didn't raise him to be a violent man, a killer.

Whatever he's doing in the future, wherever he's going,

it's nothing to do with us.

Come on.

Open the fucking door!

We know you're in there.

Open the fucking door!

Open up!

Fuck!

Let him go.

Money. She owes us money.

You best let him go. He's deaf. He can't hear you.

Not so tough, are you, now, you prick?

You shouldn't have done that.

What are you doing?

Hey, how's it going? Not so great.

Not working late again, are you?

You've got to work them cases quicker.

Has something happened?

Daniel Brennan, did time for murder.

He's deaf. I missed it.

I didn't book an interpreter for our initial interview. Right.

So I booked one for a follow-up at his nominated address.

I thought that'd be easier.

- No sign of him. - And...?

I did the bloody deaf awareness training, I should know this stuff.

But I missed it. I missed it, and now he's missing.

That's not your fault!

Sure about that?

He knew that he was breaking his license conditions.

Whether or not you booked an interpreter, that's irrelevant.

Time to think about recalling him? Put him back in prison?

I can't. It's your job.

He's a murderer walking the streets.

Recall him before it's too late.

I've been looking forward to this, you deaf cunt.

You're really fucked without these, aren't yer?

Just one...

or both?

Get the fuck off him!

slicing, grunt

Fuck.

Come on.

We're done with these.

What the fuck are you doing here?

Oi, come here.

Come on, come on, come on! Bastard!

Get in!
