My husband, he was murdered.

The man who killed him

is free.

You don't know why he did it?

I wrote to him in prison.

No reply.

Daniel Brennan is deaf.

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

- And? - I missed it, and now he's missing.

- He's out of prison. - Brennan?

If he does anything stupid, he goes straight back in.

What are you doing here?

Open the fucking door!

Fuck...

Let him go!

Get in!

Tell him he's here.

Weird, she usually tells me where she's going.

She's so angry with me.

If I could just explain...

Where were you?

What happened?

Just a friend. Tell me. What happened?

I saw Miri with Brennan.

You can go, now, thank you.

- Brennan attacked you. - No, he didn't.

He just got into a fight with someone, that's all.

I can't believe it.

I'll-- I'll get some ice for that.

What the hell is going on? Brennan is out

and you've got a boyfriend, you can't even tell me!

- Miri... - What's with all these secrets?

No, no, no. Get off me, Mom!

Thank you.

We need to tell the police.

No, no, no. It was an accident.

Don't be ridiculous.

He hit you in the face.

No, Mom. Okay?

He wasn't looking for me.

Whatever it is, it has nothing to do with us.

Nothing.

What are you doing?

I'm calling the police.

No, no, no, no.

She's not in shape to make a statement, is she?

Besides, it's not what she wants.

What about me? What about what I want?

Look, just leave it with me and I'll see if I can get some answers.

But in the meantime, I'll just give you both a little space.

But I promise, I won't let Brennan

anywhere near you and Miri ever again.

Okay.

South Dales Probation and Offender Management Service,

please leave a message.

Calling about one of your guys.

Daniel Brennan.

He's running around attacking people at parties.

He hit a woman in the face, and that's an arrestable offense.

You'd better recall him first thing in the morning,

and let the police do their job.

For fuck's sake.

Hello. I'm Michael.

This is David.

I've just joined the Offender Management Team here,

still getting up to speed.

You understand us okay?

It's been ages.

What has?

Signing.

How long?

Don't know. Six years?

That's a long time without communication.

Used to it.

So, how is it?

Prison?

- Quiet. - Are you following the rules?

You understand them?

- I'm not in any trouble, right? - No.

Where do you work?

Work?

You can work here, canteen, workshop.

Earn privileges, earn money.

TV in your room.

How long left on your sentence?

Don't know.

What do you mean?

You don't know how long you're in here for?

Can't read the paperwork.

Don't know what it says.

Doesn't matter, I'm doing my time. It's fine.

What happened at school?

Wasn't there long enough. Got kicked out.

How come?

It was like this, like prison.

Okay, we're going to sort all this for you.

This one next?

It's about your wife.

What is it?

Your wife, she's...

I'm sorry, sh-- She's passed away.

Dad, stop! Dad!

Calling about one of your guys. Daniel Brennan.

He's running around attacking people at parties.

He hit a woman in the face, and that's an arrestable offense.

You'd better recall him first thing in the morning,

and let the police do their job.

Who's that?

No name, withheld number.

You've already started on Brennan's recall, haven't you?

I told you, I made a mistake.

Anna, we talked about this. He killed someone.

Who knows what he's capable of? -Okay!

I'm-- I'm going to keep calling him today,

and if I don't hear back by the end of the day,

then I'll put him on the list for recall.

No, there's not much information here.

Only Brennan really knows what happened between him and your...

And your husband.

Right.

I don't know if you can make peace with that, but you might have to.

- No. - What?

No, I have to keep trying.

If I could just get to him somehow,

talk to him, then he'll have to tell me.

What about that probation officer who called yesterday?

Maybe we could set up a meeting?

Christine, darling,

you might have to let this go.

No, I have to try, otherwise I'll always be wondering.

Surely you get that?

I just don't want to see you get hurt, that's all.

Hiya. All right?

Um, I don't know if you caught my name last night, but I'm...

Sorry, I'm-- I'm Ste-phen.

He's trying to help us.

To find Brennan, get us some answers.

- Can I give you my number? - What for?

He used to be in the police.

He's doing this as a favor to me, okay?

Fine.

So, if...

If anyone spots Brennan,

or if you hear anything about his whereabouts, you can just call me.

I'm sorry, you can te...

Just text me. Text is fine.

Thank you. I'll give you a call when I hear something.

Make sure you're ready for the reunion, okay? I'll be back.

- I'm sorry about that. - No, I should be apologizing. I messed that up.

Don't worry about it. I'm going to try this probation officer.

I'll give you a lift.

I'm sorry, she's passed away.

They've added 42 days to your sentence.

I'm sorry for what happened to your wife,

but you can't carry on like this.

I want to register for English lessons.

They teach it here, right?

Okay, I can arrange that for you.

Hi.

I'll wait here for you.

Okay. Okay.

Here we are.

So, how can I help?

I was wondering if you could arrange for me

to meet with Daniel Brennan, to talk.

You do things like that, I think?

Supervised contact between offenders and victims?

Um, yeah.

I can see what I can do.

Okay, that's great. That's good.

What did you want to talk to him about?

My husband was a good person.

Well, of course I'm going to say that, but he really was.

He'd go out of his way to help everyone that he could.

We always used to joke that

there was three of us in our relationship.

It was me, him and the deaf community.

I lost track of the number of times he'd come home late

because he was trying to stop a deaf kid from falling behind,

or listening to someone's problems,

helping them to fix whatever it was that was going wrong.

And that's what he was doing with Brennan, too.

Another late night, listening to someone's problems.

Except this time...

he ended up dead.

And I don't know why.

I know he confessed, but they were friends.

What changed?

It doesn't make sense.

So if you could find a way to talk to him,

next time you see him,

and tell him that I need to know.

It would ease my mind.

Right, so, it must have been really hard for you?

I mean, I knew he was coming out...

God, I've had months to prepare for it, but...

Now he actually is out, it's all coming back,

like it happened yesterday.

We can't force him to meet with you.

He's under no legal obligation to do so, I'm afraid.

But we can put in a request, see what happens.

Yeah, but don't get your hopes up.

You'll have to excuse my colleague, she's...

She's still new, still optimistic.

Okay, look, well, I'd better go.

But you will call me, and tell me what he says?

Yeah, absolutely.

- What was that all about? - What do you mean?

You can't just go round telling people what they want to hear.

We're probation, not counseling.

- I know you think I'm stupid for caring. - No, I don't.

But don't worry. Couple more years, I'll be just like you.

♪ Touched the sand With my feet ♪

♪ Never did come back

Sorry, bloody traffic.

Wow!

It's not too much, is it?

No, you look beautiful.

Okay, three.

- Three what? - Three months.

You asked me how long Stephen and I have been...

Wait, three months? Does that mean...?

Yeah. While you've been at university.

But why you couldn't tell me?

I wanted to wait until I was sure.

I don't know.

He's the first one in a long time that I...

I thought I might be able to introduce to you.

I'm sorry that we didn't have time

to look at your speech properly.

I still don't know what to say.

Course you do. He's your dad!

Not any more.

No, it's not like I've forgotten him.

But he was just my dad, when he was alive.

And ever since he left, he's just become bigger and bigger,

like, I don't know, a saint, or a god or something.

And even now, people come up to me and tell me

what an amazing man he was, but I never knew that side of him.

And I never know what to say back, but say thank you.

But...

But I'm too frightened of saying the wrong thing about him.

He's too big, and he's too important.

I get it.

The longer I go without him,

the further away he feels.

The more I forget the small things.

The way he used to brush your hair.

The way he used to make breakfast for us both every morning.

The way he used to fart when he thought no-one could hear.

- Mom! - Don't go putting that in your speech.

No, I won't, I won't.

The point is, he was normal.

He had his own weird stuff going on, like me, like you.

So don't overthink it, okay?

Okay. Okay, Mom.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Stephen.

But I think...

I think enough time has passed

that your dad would want me to move on.

To try...

To try and be happy

with someone else.

What do you think?

Can you give me more time on that one?

Okay, darling.

Hey, what is it?

Last night, Carly was there.

- With Brennan? - Yeah.

I can't stop thinking about her, what it must have been like for her.

I mean, she wasn't happy to see me, and I don't blame her.

You told me not to contact them, after...

After what happened.

I understand why...

but she must have felt so alone.

Well, she's still got her dad.

Yeah, but she lost her mom.

We all have our share of the pain.

Yeah, I'm sorry. You're right.

It's been a lot, seeing them again.

All these feelings...

I don't know what to do with them, or where to put them

If you'd rather stay home and give this reunion a miss...

- No, no. - I'm sure they'd understand.

No, I want to do it.

You sure?

I have to do the speech.
