Original subtitles

What have you done?

What do you mean? Nathan.

What happened?! By the time I got there,

they'd already found him.

We have to start pinning the blame on John.

I've already started the rumour.

Who'd you tell? Maggie. When she knows, everyone'll know.

I felt like I'd made a friend for life.

I felt the same way.

You still don't believe me about John.

We need to do something about this. Direct action.

Get out! Oh, my God! Jesus!

You're a killer, John!

Get away from them! Are you OK?

Moira-Jane has a beautiful face. That's cos she's adopted.

Your cat, it had a collar with a bell?

I found it in the jewellery box in our garage.

I know this ring. It's Nathan's.

We need to get that box. It's the only way to stop him.

I feel sick.

This man, I broke bread with him.

I trusted him.

How could I have been so stupid?

How could I have been so blind?

These are trophies. Trophies from dead people.

Like killers take from their victims.

Bundy did it, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy.

Y-You're saying that Tommy's a serial killer?

But who are we saying he's killed?

Angus? Nathan? Harlequin.

Has anyone else died in Coldwater recently?

Not recently, but...

Suzie Bissett! Yeah.

So, all this other jewellery,

it belongs to other people he's killed.

But if he killed them in Coldwater, we'd know about it, surely?

Maybe not in Coldwater. Maybe he's killing somewhere else?

They moved around loads, apparently, because of Dad's work.

Edinburgh, Newcastle, Wales before me and Cameron came along.

He could've been killing in all of these places.

I've had a lot of messages from people checking that we're OK.

They think we're in danger from John and Fiona.

I'd do anything for you, you know that, don't you?

You're talking like it's the end, Tommy.

It's not the end.

We're getting out of this.

I love you more than you'll ever know.

And there's nothing you could do to stop me from loving you.

You are my one and only. My forever love.

'He ticks all of the serial-killer boxes.

'A childhood filled with trauma.

'Torturing and killing animals.' JOHN: 'What?'

When I was seven, I asked my dad if we could get a cat,

and he said he'd already had a cat, and it died.

And I said, "How?"

And he said he tied it to a railway track

to watch it get... run over.

He told you that? When you were seven?

Like it was a funny anecdote.

What about Rebecca? What about her?

Well, is she part of it?

No.

No way. No, she hates violence. She's really squeamish.

And she's so religious

that she would be the first to call the police

if she ever suspected anything.

But how can you live with a serial killer

and not notice something?

Thanks. 'Well, I didn't notice.'

Here's your milk.

'Who'd wanna believe that about someone they love?'

'Well, that's why we need the box.'

There you go, darling.

'To show everyone who he really is.'

Come on! You're gonna be late! Coming!

Come and have your breakfast.

Violet, did you pack your reading book? Yes!

Move, move, move. Get out of the way. Hey!

Have you heard from her yet? No, not yet.

You all right? Yeah.

You look a bit tired this morning. Oh, no, I'm fine.

PHONE CHIMES

She couldn't get it.

He's been watching her the whole time.

Well, thank God she's still alive.

I was really worried he'd found her taking it and killed her.

You have to calm down. I am calm, Fi. I'm calm.

Mummy!

We need to do it.

Do what? Invite them over for lunch.

Are you insane?! I'll make something delicious,

they'll come over, the house will be free,

and Moira-Jane will be able to get the box.

Fi... Have you got a better idea?

SCHOOL BELL RINGS

Come on, hurry up. Have a good day. I love you!

Bye.

Bye!

How were the kids?

They're fine, but the police are everywhere.

John... should anything go wrong today...

It won't, Fi... Yeah, but if...

If it does, I just want you to know that you mean the world to me.

And that despite everything we've been through,

I don't, for one second, regret marrying you.

Hi, Rebecca. Erm, these are for you.

To apologise for last night. How are you?

I'm fine, John, I'm fine.

But more to the point, how are you both?

Sorry, I'm being so rude. Please, come on in.

Tommy?

Yeah? John and Fiona are here.

Can I get you both a nice cup of coffee?

Oh, no, we'll only be a minute.

Hello, you two. How are you?

Not great, to be honest.

Last night was pretty frightening.

Are the children OK?

They're fine, actually. Coping better than we are.

Goodness, my heart is breaking for you both.

We've been praying for you all morning.

Thank you. That's really appreciated.

And thank you so much for all your help last night.

If you hadn't been there, I...

dread to think what might have happened.

It feels like the whole town's against us.

People are animals.

Well, to show our appreciation...

And for everything you've done for us since we moved here...

We... We wanted to invite you over for lunch,

erm, at our house this afternoon.

Mm! What do you think, love?

It sounds like a lovely idea. Yes...

No.

No, unfortunately, I've got to do my sermon for Sunday, I'm sorry.

Oh, well, we... I mean, we won't keep you long.

Yeah, just, erm, an hour... Just an hour or so...

Tomorrow be better? Oh, we... No, we can't do tomorrow.

That's a shame. We'd REALLY like this to happen.

Your support and guidance... Yeah, and-and your fellowship...

..would be so appreciated at this difficult time.

I'm sure you could work on your sermon later, love. Hm?

Yes, of course. Of course, yes.

We'd be delighted to come, actually.

Great. Great.

DOOR OPENS

What the fuck are you doing? I was worried about you.

Why would you be worried about me? After what happened to Nathan.

Can I... come in?

Where are you going?

I'm getting the fuck out of Coldwater.

Give me time to pack, I'll come with you.

Don't be ridiculous.

You can't! Get your hands off me!

I-I'm in love with you.

I've been in love with you for years.

I know that you feel the same way.

Cameron, I'm sorry, I don't.

Why don't you just go home?

This is John. He's turned you against me.

Wake up, Cameron. You know, you're not a child any more.

What does that mean? John isn't the problem.

No, when your dad came round this house looking for you,

he nearly killed me.

John stopped him. That's a lie.

It's not! Your dad is a psycho! He has always been a psycho.

John... John has not turned me against you or your family.

It's your dad.

Hello, love.

We're just popping over to Fiona and John's for a spot of lunch.

Oh, that sounds nice. Have you eaten?

Er, no. I'm actually not that hungry.

Thanks, Mum. Promise me you're going to eat?

I will.

Er, no, no, no, no. There's some leftovers in the fridge.

You up to something? What do you mean?

You have any lunch plans?

No. Good. Come with us.

What? No.

Why not? Well, I haven't been invited.

So what?

They probably haven't made enough food.

You just said you're not hungry.

Exactly, so why would I come to lunch?

Look, John and Fiona, they're going through a lot.

They're very special to us, aren't they, love?

Yes.

They're trying to build bridges.

Your presence would mean the world to them right now.

Wouldn't it?

Yes.

Fine. Just give me a minute.

What are we doing, Tommy?

They think they're smarter than us.

Let's just play the game, eh?

You hide the ring in their house, and we'll pretend it's just lunch.

It's never "just" anything with those two, is it?

What if he provokes you?

What if you lose your temper?

I'm super-chill.

Do I not look super-chill?

We are so very close to getting out of this mess.

Please don't fuck this up, Mr Chill.

This is a perfect opportunity, love.

Are you ready for this?

Well, it's a bit late to change our minds now.

Hi!

Come on in!

This is very impressive, Fiona. Yeah, especially for a Monday.

I'd normally be tucking into a ham sandwich about now, wouldn't I?

Mm. Can make you one, if you'd prefer?

- Well, cheers, everyone! - Cheers!

GLASSES CLINK

Mm!

I always feel a bit naughty drinking at lunchtime.

Which usually results in a right royal spanking, doesn't it, love?

Tommy. Dad.

TOMMY LAUGHS

Well, bon appetit, everyone.

Mm!

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. MOIRA-JANE CHUCKLES

My mum used to say,

"You knew when the food was good because no-one would be speaking."

LIGHT CHUCKLING

Didn't she? She did, yeah.

Tommy... CLEARS THROAT

What was that book...

..you were reading that Bobby was talking about?

I don't remember. It was a serial killer book.

Richard... somebody?

Ramirez? Yeah, that's the one. Yep.

That book left a bad taste in my mouth.

A very unsavoury chap, Richard Ramirez.

He would sneak into people's houses in the middle of the night

and murder their whole family.

Not very appropriate table conversation, Tommy.

Could I borrow that book from you? Yeah. Sure.

What, now? TOMMY CHUCKLES

Seriously?

You want me to go across the street in the middle of lunch

to get you a book about Richard Ramirez?

Well, I could nip over now and just grab it for you?

That's... That's a really good idea.

Mm. Mm. Mm.

Actually, can't remember where I left it.

You know what?

I think I donated it already to the British Cat Foundation.

Erm, would anyone like a top...?

Ohh! So sorry, John! I'm so sorry.

No, it's fine. It's an old shirt, anyway. Take this.

Thank you. Thank you.

John, why don't you... you go and change your shirt?

Yeah, I'll just... I'll just be five minutes, guys.

Sorry, John.

No, no, no. Carry on without me.

- Such an idiot! - Apologies.

You've always been so clumsy. I know.

That was a terrible misjudgement, Moira-Jane.

So, Fiona, how are the kids doing at school?

Oh, they really love it. Much smaller class...

I think Cameron had the same teacher as Harry.

Oh, it's a shame, she's about to retire.

Oh. Yeah. But would you excuse me?

I'm just gonna go to the bathroom. Yeah, of course.

Come on, come on, come on.

Thank you so much for having us over.

Mum's been so upset about everything lately.

Hasn't she, Dad?

Well, it's been a lot to contend with for everyone, so...

This has been a welcome distraction, so thank you. Yeah.

A "distraction"?

Yep.

Erm, Tommy, what was it like having a teenage daughter?

Erm, is it as bad as everyone says? What was... Moira-Jane like?

Well, he'll just say I was a nightmare, but that is not true.

Wh-Where are you going?

The bathroom.

DOOR CLOSES I've got to call him!

Is anybody else hot in here?

Tommy! What?

Well, where are you going? I left something in the house. Why?

Erm, there's something I've been meaning to ask you.

Right? Well, erm...

Yeah, it's a bit... bit of a delicate matter. Mm-hm?

Do you remember what you said about men?

Men? About what men want?

No. You know, when we were alone,

when I was waiting at your house for John.

And how all men are driven by sex?

Come on, come on, come on.

Well, at the time, I reacted badly

because it made me feel a bit uncomfortable,

but I should really thank you because it helped... a lot.

OK.

Great.

Erm, cos you and Rebecca have been married,

erm, a lot longer than... than us,

and I just... I just wondered, you know,

how do you manage to... to keep the passion alive?

That's private.

PHONE RINGS

RINGING CONTINUES

I found it.

John, he's in the house. Get out now!

JOHN GRUNTS

John.

I was just... looking for a cigarette.

A cigarette?

I don't want Fiona...

..to see me smoking.

How did you get into my house, John?

The door was open.

What have you got there?

I think that belongs to me.

Can you put it back, please? Stay the fuck away from me, Tommy.

I thought we were friends, man.

We are friends, Tommy.

Friends don't break into other friends' houses, John.

Friends don't steal from each other.

What about Nathan?

What about Nathan?

He was your friend once, wasn't he?

We weren't close. Not like you and me.

Did you do it, Tommy?

Did you kill Nathan? John...

I promise you,

on the lives of my children, I did not kill Nathan.

Did you kill Angus?

John!

We both know who killed Angus, man.

Why is Harlequin's collar in this box?

That's peculiar.

Did you kill my cat, Tommy?

Did you kill my FUCKING cat?!

John!

John, John.

This is a strange time. There's a paranoia in the air.

I'm not surprised you see that box

and you're jumping to some strange conclusions.

I'm sorry, Tommy. I don't trust you any more.

TOMMY SCOFFS

Do you know how ungrateful you sound?

After all that I've done for you.

I disposed of a corpse for you, John.

Just give me that box, and I'll give you...

..this.

What is that?

It's a Taser.

JOHN GROANS

Did Fiona put you up to this?

I don't know why you let her push you around.

She doesn't understand you, man.

Not like we understand each other.

JOHN GRUNTS

I'm deep in your soul.

You know something?

You are deep in my soul, too.

And then one day, I-I walked in, and she was trying to pick him up.

He must've been about two months old or something like that.

And I thought, "Well, that's nice

"because, you know, they're starting to bond."

And then about five minutes later, I found him in the bin!

She'd put him in the bin.

Are you OK, Fiona? I'm just gonna check on John.

Oh, they're probably having a sneaky smoke together

or something like that. Fiona?

Fiona, what's going on? TYRES SCREECH

Oh, God.

John! John!

Oh! Oh, God!

John? John!

John!

Fiona, what on earth is going on? Why would John be in my house?

Tommy's taken him.

What? What?

He's taken John!

Fiona, wait! Fuck!

# Are you washed

# In the blood

# In the soul-cleansing blood Of the Lamb?

# Are your garments spotless

# Are they white as snow?

# Are you washed in the blood Of the Lamb? #

TOMMY CHUCKLES The blood of the fucking Lamb.

Nietzsche was right.

You're dead, God.

But if you're real, tell me, what shall I do with John-boy here?

Kill him?

Or should I torture him first?!

TOMMY LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

TOMMY SCREAMS

BRAKES SQUEAL

John!

JOHN WHIMPERS

LAUGHS

- Cameron? Are you there? - 'What is it?'

Did you hear from Dad? No.

He's taken John.

He's what?

'He's put John in the boot of his car,

'and he's taken him away.'

Cameron! Are you still there?

Good. I hope he fucking kills him.

'What's going on?' LINE BEEPS

Cameron doesn't know anything,

so I'm gonna go and find him and explain what's happened.

You stay here with Fiona. OK.

Take care. I will.

Everything'll be OK. I'll look after you.

There has to be a reasonable explanation for this, Fiona,

because Tommy would never hurt John.

Do you really have no idea where they are?

Of course not, why would I? Are you covering for him?

Pardon? If there's something you know,

you have to tell me, Rebecca.

What do you mean?

My husband's life's at stake.

This is a very stressful situation for all of us,

but I promise you, John's life is not at risk.

Tommy is a dangerous man, Rebecca... No, he's not.

..you know he is!

You saw what he did the other day!

He assaulted me! He almost drowned John.

Yeah, and I don't condone any of his actions.

That was just one big misunderstanding, Fiona.

Oh, my... A misunderstanding?

Yes. He killed Harlequin, he's killed Nathan.

He's a fucking psycho! Oh, please, stop swearing at me.

You're protecting him.

Oh, my...

That day when I came round, you wouldn't let me confront him

because you were protecting him then, and you're protecting him now.

We found the box.

What box?

With his trophies.

Harlequin's collar.

Nathan's ring. Angus's necklace.

Where did you find these?

In your house, Rebecca. Under your nose.

Rebecca, if you know anything...

..you need to tell me before it's too late.

There's so much I want to tell you, but...

..I'm so scared.

I've been so scared for years and years and years.

I'm petrified he's gonna kill me.

Help! HELP!

Williams! Please!

Help me!

Help me! Williams, please, help me!

Help me!

You have to hide me. It's Tommy. He killed Angus.

JOHN PANTS

He killed Nathan. I think he's trying to kill me.

Oh, come... come on in!

Fuck!

Tommy, hello. Where is he? Is he here?

Everything OK, Tommy? No, it's not OK!

John's on the rampage. He attacked me.

Open up! I was just on my way out, actually.

Don't pussy out on me, Williams! Open the door!

I was just going out for a walk.

Look, it's not a good time, Tommy. Maybe another time?

We're in grave danger. You need to help me here.

Is it counselling you're wanting?

Cos normally you'd have to make an appointment.

I've got an app.

An app?

Yeah, you can...

You can make a booking in the app.

If you go to my website. Are you fucking with me?

There... There's no-one else here, Tommy, I can assure you.

You've always been an inconsequential wee prick,

haven't you, eh?

Look... why don't you take a wee seat, right?

And we can talk about whatever's bother...

Argh! THUDS

Where is he?! Please, Tommy.

Where's John?

Where you hiding, John?

JOHN YELLS

TOMMY GROWLS

Argh!

THEY GRUNT

Stay away from me, Tommy!

Fuck you! Stay away, Tommy. There he is.

Huh?

Fuck off! TOMMY CHUCKLES

Where's this guy been hiding, eh?

TOMMY LAUGHS

Come on. Come on, show me what you got, John-boy.

JOHN YELLS

GRUNTING, GROANING

Slow down, John.

Slow down.

Stop fighting.

We need each other, John-boy.

JOHN WHEEZES

GUN COCKS

Let him go.

Get up.

Slowly.

Just... be cool.

We're all gonna be cool.

Williams, you have to listen to me.

John here is a cold-blooded killer.

I don't believe you, Tommy. I'm sorry.

OK, fine.

You don't have to take my word for it.

Call the police. Let them settle this.

Call Bobby. Go ahead.

John?

You move, I will shoot you.

'Williams, what's wrong?' Bobby, y-you need to get here now!

It's Tommy. 'What about Tommy?'

He's the killer.

Will you let me make a phone call? What?

I need to speak to Rebecca.

Once the cops come, they'll take you and me to jail.

She doesn't know anything about this.

It'll come as such a shock to her.

I just need to let her know that I love her. Please.

Please.

Slowly, slowly.

There's no signal in here. Ah, fuck you, Tommy.

Throw it. Here.

Come on, you've got me by the balls, John-boy.

Let me call Rebecca, and this will all be over.

'Hi, it's Tommy. Please leave a message.'

KNOCK ON DOOR

Is Cameron here? Yeah.

Can I speak to you, please? Alone?

These are trophies. Trophies?

Like serial killers collect.

Are you joking? I think...

We think that Dad is a serial killer.

Who's we? You know all that stuff about serial killers, right?

You read all the books. Dad fits the profile.

Who's "we"? What?

You're saying, "We think dad's a serial killer."

Who's we? Er...

Me and John and Fiona. John?

Yeah, I told them about the jewellery box,

so John went to... You did fucking what?!

It was the only way! And then dad found him.

You're a fucking Judas!

You've betrayed your own family!

Tommy killed Angus, and Nathan.

And he killed Suzie Bissett.

Fuck you for even fucking saying that!

Oh, why are you always defending him?

He's our dad! He isn't my dad!

But he still loves you!

Cameron, he hates me. And he hates you as well!

That's a lie. You're a fucking liar.

Everyone in this town is lying!

Why...? Why does everyone believe John over Dad?

Why are you so desperate for his approval?

He doesn't love you, Cameron.

He isn't actually capable of love. He hates all of us!

Fucking shut your fucking mouth, you stupid lying bitch!

MOIRA-JANE GROANS

Stop it! Stay still!

Argh! Ah!

Argh! Argh! Argh!

Argh! What the fuck is going on?

Take it out, please! Have you got a first aid kit?

CAMERON CRIES

OK, I'm gonna get it out. Just relax!

Relax, Cameron.

Argh! What the...? Three, two, one.

Argh!

The police are on their way.

Get back inside, you! This is private business.

Just lock the door until they get here. Go!

RINGING TONE

Ah!

Oh, thank God! Thank God! Tommy.

Fiona and I have been worried sick. Where are you?

'It's under control. We're at Williams' place.'

Is John with you?

He's standing in front of me. He's fine.

John's with him. He's fine. They're at Williams'.

Er, Tommy, listen to me, it's over.

Whatever it is you've done, just hand yourself in. It's...

Fiona's called the police. They're looking for you.

'We can't go back now. Do you understand?'

It's over.

OK.

I understand.

I love you.

I love you.

Run.

LINE BEEPS

Come on, let's go! It's OK, we can make it.

It's time for us to go, John.

What?

Me and you.

Why would I do that, Tommy?

The life that we'll have.

We'll be free. Tommy.

I never wanna see your fucking face again.

What?

Step back, or I will shoot you, Tommy.

I'd be doing the world a favour if I killed you.

You were nothing when I found you, John.

You were so weak.

It's me that turned you into a real man.

Everything that you are now

is because of me.

Was Angus still breathing when you found him?

I was just trying to help you with Angus.

Trying to be a Good Samaritan.

But you opened up something in me, John.

You did that.

Did you kill Angus?

I can't go to jail, John.

You need to finish this.

What? Show me what you're made of.

Cos otherwise, I'm gonna have to kill Fiona.

And then I'm gonna have to kill your children.

Shut the fuck up! Argh!

Yes! Don't you fucking touch my family!

There's my John-boy.

You see?

You're just like me.

I am not like you. Yes, you are.

Cos I killed Nathan.

And I killed your stupid cat.

And I helped you... kill Angus.

So be a man, John.

Shoot me.

I'm not like you.

I'm not a killer.

I'm not your fucking friend.

And I'm not your fucking John-boy.

GRUNTING

GUNSHOT, THUDS

LABOURED BREATHING

Oh, John! Oh, my God!

I called the ambulance.

'I heard the gunshot, and when I saw him lying there...'

It's OK. I'm here now.

'..I felt like a part of me had died.'

FIONA CRIES

'Tommy was gone.

'That man has destroyed so many lives.

'And almost destroyed this community.'

And when Peter asks Jesus

how many times should he forgive his brother...

..what does Jesus say?

Not seven times, but 77 times!

There's no limit to forgiveness!

Because if you can't forgive your own brother,

how can you possibly expect God to forgive you?

'He's left a lot of damaged people behind.

'And so many unanswered questions.

'What scares me the most, though, is how he got his claws into John.

'I thought I'd lost him.'

I can't believe I'm still here. I feel like something saved me.

It's a relief to have John's name cleared.

Well, it's obviously horrific, living next door to a killer.

We had no idea.

His family had no idea. Even his wife didn't know.

He seemed like a very nice, normal man.

I considered him a friend.

But, actually, I think, if anything, it's...

Well, it's made our marriage stronger. Stronger.

Yeah. It has.

Yeah, definitely. Definitely, yeah.

DOOR CLOSES

Ah, there he is, the man himself. Hi. You finally made it.

Sorry I'm late.

Ah, no, we were just about to start.

You know, er... we could always meet at our place.

Rebecca likes us being here.

She finds it reassuring.

Well, thanks for having me.

Should I?

So, er, where did we get to last week?

Jonah 1:17. Who wants to read?

Well, as it's his first time, I think...

I think John should kick us off.

Should I just... read?

Yeah. Yeah.

"Now the Lord provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah...

"..and Jonah was in the belly of the fish

"for three days and three nights.

"From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God.

"He said...

" '..in my distress, I called to the Lord,

" 'and he answered me.

" 'From deep in the realm of the dead, I called for help,

" 'and you listened to my cry.' "

John-boy.

RINGING TONE

My dinosaur's better than yours! No, I've got the better dinosaur!

" 'You hurled me into the depths, into the very heart of the seas.'

"And the Lord commanded the fish.

"And it vomited Jonah onto dry land."
