- You're ex-police, aren't you? - Who'd you say you were?

You need to get Daniel Brennan back in prison.

Daniel Brennan's missing.

I will start the recall paperwork today.

Leaving me on my own.

Again!

Do you need a lift to anywhere?

The sooner we track him down, the sooner I'll let you go.

Let's get this done, shall we?

Please just let me out.

- I can't do that. - Why not?

Hey, hey.

Stop!

You had a hunting knife.

Were you planning to kill someone?

If you plan to kill someone, that is premeditated.

You murdered him.

So, you accept full responsibility for his death?

It's all my fault.

You do that one more time...

I'm sorry, it's...

Your job is to interpret what is said

between me and the suspect, nothing more.

Have you got that?

What they're signing to each other?

You're asking me, I don't know.

Know anyone who does?

You do that one more time...

I'm sorry, it's...

Thanks for coming by on such short notice.

No worries.

Where do you want me?

Here you go.

So...

The first bit we're interested in is here, right at the start.

What is it? What are they saying to each other?

Would you mind playing it again, I might need a couple of goes to get it all.

Okay.

Are you sure you don't want a lawyer?

I just wanna get this over with.

So he refuses legal counsel?

Yeah, looks like it.

Do you understand what you're confessing to?

He's dead because of me, that's it.

You didn't mean to kill him, right?

So he didn't know what he's confessing to?

They sent Brennan down for premeditated murder. That's coercion.

You really don't want anything to do with your dad then?

No.

Why is that?

Ah, it's all the secrets.

He won't tell me anything.

Wants to shield me from everything.

I don't even know who he is anymore.

How do you mean?

I still remember what it's like to have a dad, just about.

Someone who looked out for me,

who walked me to school, made me feel safe,

Taught me how to fix cars.

When he first came out of prison, I thought maybe

maybe I will get my dad back.

Maybe he is still a good person.

Even after everything that happened.

But now, he is just some angry deaf man going around getting into fights.

Have you told him that?

What difference would it make?

Maybe he's trying to change his ways, I don't know.

No, it's too late for us now.

He don't care about me.

Not really.

You do that one more time...

I'm sorry, it's...

Your job is to interpret what is said between me and the suspect, nothing more.

Have you got that?

He said it's about school.

Something happened to him.

Now, you listen to me. I'm not interested in his life story.

He's murdered someone, and he's going to sign this,

whether you like it or not.

- Understood? - Yes, sir.

Just like we talked about.

You sign this, and that's the end of it.

We-- we don't have to bring in your family...

and interview them.

We don't have to ask your friends about you.

You sign here...

and it's all over.

It'll all be over?

They'll go easy on you in court, too.

That's them, isn't it?

Yeah.

Right, tell Christine I'm here.

What? No, tell her yourself.

I've told ya, I'm done with all of this.

Look, it's like I said, I've no interest in going anywhere near your dad.

I don't want to get involved, I don't want to interfere.

I just want to make sure she's safe, okay?

- Please? - Right, fine.

Hey!

Your boyfriend's here.

He wants to make sure you're all right.

Carly?

Look at you.

Hey, love.

I was in a lot of pain, but...

I'm sorry, I should have been there for you and your mom.

I'm sorry.

Um...

When you see Miri, just tell her I didn't mean what I said, yeah?

Bye, love.

He didn't hurt you?

No.

Did he tell you...?

What did he say?

Did you get the answers that you wanted?

It's complicated.

I just need to sort it all through in my head.

Oh, I've been so worried about you.

I've been driving around all day.

- Calling and texting. - I'm sorry, love.

Well, thank God you're safe.

Oh, God. Miri! She must be worried sick.

No, she's at home. I'll take you there now.

Be good to track Brennan down, talk to him.

You've changed your tune. What's going on?

I joined the police because I wanted to help people.

Do good, change stuff for the better, the usual.

Then I ended up working with people like him.

Got sick of people being pushed... coerced.

Deciding who we like for this and that,

and they're just making the pieces fit, another case closed.

And any time I tried to do something,

or say something about it,

there's another secret black mark against me.

In the end, it all got too much.

Do you think Daniel Brennan's innocent, then?

I don't think anyone's going to care about any of that.

He's done his time in prison.

Maybe more than he should have.

I'm sorry.

'Cause you were right.

He deserves a chance.

I'm going to keep trying his phone.

Mom!

Thank you.

Christine?

Yeah?

I know you've both had a long day, but, um...

What is it, love?

I'm just... I'm just glad you're both safe.

I'll let myself out.

So much for second chances, eh?

I almost believed you.

Well, what the fuck is this, then? Eh?

Do you have any idea, any idea, how much I wanted to believe you?

To believe that you and me, we could start over together?

You were always planning on going back to prison, weren't you?

Leaving me on my own? More lies, more broken promises!

Same old fucking shit!

I hate you.

I fucking hate you!

[gunshot

It's Anna, Probation Services.

Er, hi. It's Carly, Daniel Brennan's daughter.

You've been trying to get hold of him.

Look, all right, if you come to the office by 5 p.m.

we might be able to work out a way through all this, yeah?

It might not be too late for your dad.

But you have to come today, okay?

Or your dad will be arrested.

They're already looking for him.

Okay, we'll be there, Anna.

Thanks, bye.

Hey, sorry to bother you on your doorstep like this.

I don't know if you remember me?

I was in the office when you came by the other day.

Yeah.

I shouldn't really be here, but you said you wanted answers.

This might help.

It's everything.

It's the whole file on Brennan, on your husband.

But how...?

Look, if anyone asks,

maybe you made a formal subject access request for the file, but...

don't go shouting it from the rooftops, yeah?

Will you get into trouble for this?

I've seen too many people released from prison

shouldn't have been there in the first place.

I've seen this happen before, too.

You've seen what happen before?

I don't know enough about Brennan's case,

what kind of a person he is and what really happened, but...

you really need to see this.

Thank you.

This one next?

It's about your wife.

What is it?

Your wife, she's...

I'm sorry. She's passed away.

When's the funeral?

This is from your daughter.

She invited you, but this arrived some time ago.

I'm so sorry.

The funeral...

It was last week.

Right.

Let's get this done, shall we?

You had a hunting knife.

Were you planning to kill someone?

If you plan to kill someone, that is premeditated.

You murdered him.

So, you accept full responsibility for his death?

It's all my fault.

You do that one more time...

I'm sorry, it's...

and it's all over.
