Original subtitles

Tomorrow morning, John, I'm going to the police,

with or without you.

You having car trouble? I'll give you a lift.

Fi, I think he killed Harlequin.

I think he did it as a kind of warning.

I killed your boy.

Tommy, why didn't you bury the body? I had to get back for Bible group.

This has now got out of hand. It's out of control.

SHE SCREAMS Why are you here?

I need somewhere to stay. I had a row with my sister.

You haven't met John. This is what psychopaths do.

They manipulate everyone around them. No, you sound insane.

Did you kill our cat?

Get her out of here, now!

What an embarrassment of a wife you have, John.

Tommy, no!

I killed Angus.

This is the spot where the witches would be tortured

and then burned at the stake.

In fact, historical records show

that more witches were executed in Coldwater

than any other town in Western Europe.

PHONE UNLOCKS H-Hey, don't check that.

It might not be true. PHONE LOCKS

But let's move on to a more modern-day murder,

the one you've all been waiting for, Suzie Bissett.

The body was found buried in these very woods.

Some people speculate that the killer was a drifter

from out of town.

Others say that it was Suzie's boyfriend, Brodie Dwyer -

a convicted drug dealer with links to the Glasgow underworld.

A necklace of Suzie's with the initials BD

was missing from the corpse.

'Others still say that the killer stalks the streets

'of Coldwater to this very day.

'But, please, let me reassure you - Coldwater is a very safe place.'

There's not been a murder here in nearly 25 years.

This is all ancient history.

What's that?

Is it part of the tour?

No.

Can you come this way, please, sir?

Daddy! Help!

I'm scared! Daddy!

Daddy.

Hey. Hey.

Daddy, where's Mummy?

Been awake all night, thinking about what you told me.

I can't believe I've been lying next to someone

capable of that kind of violence.

But I'm also kind of relieved.

Relieved?

It explains so much of the behaviour and the hostility and the...

..the withholding...

..and the hate.

I really thought you hated me. I don't hate you.

I've never hated you.

I'm the problem.

I'm sorry, Fi. I've fucked everything up.

I promised Nathan I'd go to the police with him.

No. You have to speak to a lawyer.

There isn't time for that.

John, I sacrificed everything to move here, for you.

My family, my friends, my career.

And I did it all to try and save our marriage.

And right now, I really think you should consider

doing what's best for us as a family.

Fi...

I've been doing the wrong thing for years, and look...

and look at how it's ended up.

I'm sorry.

I just have to go in there and tell the truth.

DISTANT VOICES

Hello, love. Did you sleep OK? Yeah, I did, thanks.

Where's Dad? He's just running a few errands.

Now, then, would you like some scrambly eggs for breakfast?

That'll be lovely, thank you.

That still makes you laugh.

You loved that as a baby.

So, what was all that last night, with the neighbours?

Oh! Well, it's quiet upsetting, actually.

It's that, erm... That woman, Fiona, she's, er...

Well, to be honest with you, Moira-Jane,

since her and John moved here, it's been nothing but drama.

I mean, she's a raging alcoholic.

Well, she was screaming something to Dad about him killing her cat?

I know! I know. I mean, can you imagine your dad killing a cat?

No. No, I can't, it's just... No!

I mean, everybody accusing him of all sorts yesterday,

and I've said it's because of that beard.

Mm. Makes him look very, very sinister.

I've told him to shave it off, but will he listen to me? No.

Do you want to come to church with me this morning?

Everyone would be delighted to see you. Mm...

No, thanks.

You'll find answers there that you won't find in therapy.

Come on.

Are you watching me sleep?

Well, er... kinda.

Well, will you stop it, please?

Can we hang out today?

I'm working. At the pub?

Yeah. Can I come?

No.

You still don't believe me about John.

I don't think that John killed Angus, no.

I think that's insane.

You think I'm insane? I just...

I think your theory's insane.

Cos you fancy John.

If... IF Angus was murdered...

it wasn't John.

Well, who killed him, then?

You think it was my dad? I...

No, I never said that.

Why have you always hated him?

Oh, Cameron! Just get out of my room.

Get out! Now!

DOOR CLOSES, EXHALES

Hi, Maggie. It's good to see you. You're looking well.

Morning, Rebecca. Ah, good morning.

Hi, Joe. Good morning. Good morning.

Come on in. How are you, Rebecca?

I'd like to thank you personally for all your help last night.

What a palaver! Is Tommy OK? Is he here?

He's a little under the weather. Oh.

Give him my best. I will. Thank you, and pray for him.

But we're all sad to hear that he's lost his faith.

Cameron, what a surprise!

Don't make a big deal about it.

OK. Take a seat.

Good morning, Rebecca. Good morning.

I'd better go.

I do still love you, you know.

I love you.

I'll never stop loving you, no matter what.

Can you help us with our jigsaw, Daddy?

I can't at the moment. Give me a hug.

JOHN CRIES

Where you going, Daddy? I won't be long.

Just... be good for Mummy, OK? I'll help you with your jigsaw.

Come on, let's go upstairs.

Yeah, OK. Thanks, Donny. You OK, John?

Do you have somewhere private we could talk?

Why, have you heard something?

Look, it's not a good time right now.

There's been a body found in the woods.

It's Nathan Gillespie.

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

VOICEMAIL BEEPS

It's my fault, Mum. I got him killed.

I told Nathan what I saw. I told him I saw John covered in blood.

Just calm down. Calm down. We don't know what's happened to Nathan.

Course we know what's happened!

John's killed him like he killed Angus.

Mum, we need to stop this. You need to believe me. Please, Mum.

Tell me that you believe me? Please.

I should have said something.

What?

The morning after Angus's death...

..John came to church.

He went up to be prayed for from your father.

And what happened? He was crying. He was...

He was crying on your father's shoulder.

And then a little bit later, he fainted. I just...

Well, I thought it was

just because he was still recovering from his accident,

and now I'm thinking maybe it was guilt?

Cameron.

Darling, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't believe you on this, I really am.

I think maybe you're right.

I think perhaps John is a really dangerous man.

Nathan's dead.

What?

Nathan's dead.

SHE GASPS

It was Tommy. What? Why?

Cos he's a psychopath.

But if... if what you're saying is true, then it...

Then it's my fault. How's it your fault?

Because he's killed him to protect me.

No, he doesn't care about you! He's done it to protect himself!

Because of me!

If I... If I hadn't killed Angus, then none of this would've happened.

Two men are dead because of...

John.

I don't think you killed Angus. What?

How hard did you hit him?

Why are you asking?

Because I've seen the way you fight, John,

and I think Violet could throw a harder punch than you.

It was a rock. I hit him with a rock.

He was dead, Fi.

But you only know he was dead because Tommy told you.

He wasn't breathing. His face was covered in blood.

It was dark, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Who's idea was it to burn the evidence?

Tommy. Why?

Don't you find it a bit strange that you go to someone, right,

someone you barely know,

and you tell him you've killed a man,

and he says, "Oh, I'll get rid of the body"?

Well, he was being helpful.

A helpful neighbour lends you a power tool or a cup of sugar!

They don't generally offer to dispose of a corpse for you!

What are you saying, Fi?

I am saying, John...

..that Tommy killed Angus, and then he killed Nathan.

Because he wanted to, because he's a killer.

And you're not.

I know you, John.

And you're not a killer. I'm not a killer.

You're not a killer.

You're not... a killer.

Mummy can we watch TV?

Erm, yeah. For an hour.

An hour? Yeah, an hour.

VOICEMAIL BEEPS

'Tommy, where the fuck are you? Call me back!'

Apparently, Malky's giving a statement to the police now.

They've closed off the site.

They think it's murder? It seems so.

It's absolutely shocking.

After just losing poor Angus as well.

Who would want to murder Nathan? It's unbelievable!

No-one's ever had a cross word with him.

I know, Maggie, I know.

I know, it's... I did hear that he and John had...

What? Pardon?

What is it? Nothing. I won't breathe a word.

I shouldn't say. It's against my nature.

I...

I did hear that he had an argument yesterday morning with John.

Your neighbour, John?

Apparently, they were having a very heated conversation

in Benny the Badger's play park.

Now, what that was about, Maggie, I do not know,

but I remember thinking how strange it was when I heard about it.

Because... well, Nathan didn't know John, did he?

I don't think so.

Aw, it's a sin.

BD...

CAMERA SNAPS

CAR PULLS UP

Fuck!

Hi, Dad.

Are you OK? I ran my car into a ditch.

It took me ages to get it started again.

Is your mum not back from church yet?

You not with her? No. Why not?

I had to run some errands. She's not here.

What were you doing in the garage?

Oh, nothing. Must have been doing something.

Well, I was just looking for, erm, things from my childhood.

Childhood? Yeah, just things I could take back to Glasgow.

Oh! Feeling nostalgic, are you?

Yeah. I suppose, yeah.

There's nothing for you there.

Well, Mum said... Your mum's wrong.

DOOR OPENS Tommy! Tommy!

Oh, hello, love. I didn't realise you were in.

Is everything OK, love? No, nothing... It's not OK.

It's, er... Nathan.

They've found him dead. You're kidding.

No. In the woods, apparently. The police are there.

The police? Do they think it's, er, foul play?

I don't know, Tommy. I think so, yes.

I'm just gonna call Cameron to tell him.

He already knows, darling. Where is he now?

He's, er... He's gone to the pub with Brick.

I should just call him, just to check he's OK.

OK. Yes that's good, that's good. That's a really good idea.

- Yeah, yeah... - What happened?!

By the time I got there, they'd already found him.

What is going on with you?

You weren't like this when you were younger.

You used to be so clinical. I know.

I know, I just... I feel a bit rusty.

Honestly, love, this was beyond my control.

You were meant to be in church. Everyone was asking where you were.

I took the long way round. The police are everywhere.

We have to start pinning the blame on John.

Everybody thinks he's a weirdo, and he looks like a murderer!

That's not gonna work, love. Think about it. If he gets arrested,

the first thing he's gonna do is point the finger at me.

But nobody'll believe him cos you're an upstanding member

of the fucking church! He might have an alibi!

I don't have an alibi!

I've started the rumour. Who'd you tell?

Maggie. When she knows, everyone'll know.

HE SIGHS Thank you.

GASPS SOFTLY

And what's this about you losing your faith?

Who told you that? Williams.

That dirty wee whore!

Is it true?

How can I still believe in God after all that I've done?

HE GRUNTS

Get your act together, now!

Ah! Ah, that's absolutely shocking.

I've just spoken to Cameron, and he's very upset,

so I'm gonna go and see him.

Oh, it's so upsetting.

I think what we're gonna do is, er,

we're gonna have a prayer meeting tonight at the church for Nathan.

That's what we all need,

and it would be really good for you to be there, Moira-Jane. Sure.

Take care now. I will.

Bye-bye, my precious girl.

Bye-bye. DOOR CLOSES

She knows something. She doesn't know anything.

I can feel it.

Oh, what are you gonna do, Tommy? Huh?

You gonna kill her, too?!

It's not the answer to every little problem, you know.

You fool.

Oh, God.

Fuck.

I haven't had sex like that since The Verve were at number one.

Fuck.

Can't believe it only took two dead bodies

to get our sex life back on track.

Why did you do it? What?

Sleep with Matthew.

I was lonely.

I didn't think you wanted me any more.

Do you miss him? No, of course not.

Did he make you laugh?

Not as much as you. Fool.

I missed you so much. I missed you.

WHISTLING

WHISTLING CONTINUES

What the fuck is that? What?

He's gardening, like it's just another day.

He's just killed a man,

and now he's trimming his fucking lavender?

Babe.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?! I'm gonna kick his arse!

WHISTLING

Tommy. Tommy.

Hello, John.

What have you done? What do you mean?

Nathan.

Oh, I know.

John!

What are you doing? I just heard.

Tommy, I-I just wanted to apologise for last night.

Erm, I'm really sorry that I accused you of, erm...

I was just very upset about Harlequin.

Fiona...

it's me that should be apologising to you.

I'm so sorry I attacked you both.

My behaviour was... Well, it was out of character, wasn't it, love?

Yes. Completely unforgivable.

And Harlequin was such a beautiful cat.

I'm sorry that I didn't get to know him better.

Me, too.

I take it you heard about Nathan?

We did, yes. It's very sad news.

You knew him well, didn't you? We did, yes. Many, many years.

It's... It's appalling. It's horrific.

The stuff of nightmares.

Who do you think killed him?

I don't know, John.

Could be harmful to speculate at this point.

Best let the police get on with their job.

Killer can't be very bright, though.

I mean, you know, not even bothering to get rid of the body.

I'm sure they'll catch him in no time. Do you know what I heard?

I heard that the body was found by a bunch of tourists

on Malky's Murder Tour. FIONA LAUGHS

I mean, honestly.

Sounds like the work of an amateur to me.

How about you keep your opinions to yourself, Fiona?

We're going to have a prayer meeting for Nathan at the church tonight.

It'd be so lovely if you could be there.

We will be. Won't we, John? Yeah.

Yeah. Wouldn't miss it. Yeah.

We love Coldwater. And this is our home now.

Did you see the way he looked at you?

He hates you. Good. I hate him.

The way you made his mask slip.

We should do that tonight.

At the church. Let everyone see who he really is.

What do we do with the children? We could bring them with us.

He won't hurt us in front of everyone.

Or we could just leave?

What, just pack up the car and go? Yeah.

I don't wanna do that.

I don't either.

So they know you killed Nathan.

You see, the problem is...

I would normally have you sort this situation out, Tommy,

but... you still like John.

So what if I do?

You're gonna need to stop liking John, aren't you?

Because - let me tell you something, Tommy -

I am not spending the rest of our marriage visiting you in jail,

and I'm certainly not growing old without you.

So you need to harden your heart against that man.

Do you understand me?

Because I want this bloody nightmare over with,

and I want our lives to go back to what it was.

Perfect.

My heart is with you, love.

Always.

I'm telling you, John killed Nathan.

Everything's been getting worse since he moved here.

This used to be a nice place to live. He couldn't have.

He was acting weird last night. Did you notice that? Very shifty.

Everybody was weird. It was a weird night.

What happened last night?

Tommy attacked John, tried to drown him in the hot tub.

You're joking!

Aye, but it was John attacked Tommy first.

Aye, but Tommy nearly drowned him.

John's wife accused him of killing their cat.

She's as mental as he is. No, Brick.

John and Fiona, they're good folk, and...

and you shouldn't be spreading rumours like that.

What, so you think Tommy, yeah, could really kill a wee pussy cat?

Our pal Tommy? I don't think Tommy killed the cat.

I-I think... I think Fiona had too much to drink,

and I'm sure she regrets what she said.

So, who do you think could've killed Nathan, then?

I don't know. It... It could be anyone.

It's John. Yeah, we know nothing about this guy.

Soon as he moves here, people start dying.

What are youse all talking about?

You know what we're talking about. Everybody's talking about it.

Listen, I know you and him had a wee thing,

but you need to watch yourself, you shouldn't be defending him.

They're saying... We didn't have a wee thing.

Nothing happened. Same again?

They are saying he's a murderer!

Who's "they"? Everyone! Everyone's saying it.

They... They had a big argument

in the play park yesterday, Nathan and John.

Yes, but who told you? Rebecca.

Well, she's the last person that should be spreading rumours.

You know, she's meant to set an example.

Well, she has to warn people.

It's her next-door neighbour and potentially a murderer.

Honestly, Catriona, your judgement of people is very poor.

By the way, we're closing early tonight.

There's a prayer meeting at the church,

and we should all be there to show our support.

It's time to stick together as a community.

I better still get paid for my full shift.

Aye, cos it's all about you right now, isn't it, Catriona?

Thank you for coming. Please come in and take a seat.

Good to see you.

Fiona was talking about him being involved

in violent confrontations in London.

She said he was always getting into fights.

Apparently, John beat this guy up so badly, he ended up in hospital.

That's why they moved up here.

He told me that like it was a funny story.

It wasn't funny to me.

Do you know, I always knew there was something dangerous about him, Dad.

I tried to warn you. Aye.

I should've listened to you. Can't believe I trusted him.

We need to do something about this. Direct action.

Do you know what we're saying?

Whatever you think is necessary. I'm not gonna stop you.

I've done enough damage already.

Oh, sorry, love, we're closing early tonight.

Everyone's going to the church. OK. Thank you.

MJ?

I was just looking for Cameron.

I think he's gone to the church. Thank you.

MJ, wait. Please stop calling me MJ.

Nobody calls me that any more. I just wanted to check you're OK.

If I'm OK? Yeah, like, how...?

How is your family doing?

Every time there's a drama in this town,

you're always in the middle of it.

It's the same as the last time I lived here. Nothing changes.

What? I heard you slept with John.

I didn't fucking sleep with him!

Now everyone's calling him a murderer.

John hasn't... hasn't done anything wrong. It's...

I know he's your dad, but Tommy is...

I'm sorry, I don't want to insult your family.

I don't see him as my dad any more, so...

..what is it?

I was really convinced he was going to kill me,

until John intervened.

It wasn't the first time.

What do you mean?

H-He's attacked me before.

When? Years ago, when we were teenagers.

What did he do?

He, erm...

He'd followed me home... when I was walking alone one night.

He... cornered me.

Pinned me against the wall.

Grabs me by the throat. Started choking me.

So when he'd, erm, turned up at my house the other night,

it really felt like he was finishing the job

he'd started ten years ago, and...

Why didn't you tell anyone? Who'd believe me?

Tommy's got everyone in Coldwater wrapped around his finger.

I always thought it was... me.

I thought you hated me, and that's why we fell out.

No, no, it was never about you.

I just... I didn't want to be anywhere near him.

I always liked you, MJ. Sorry, Moira-Jane.

You can call me MJ.

Moira-Jane's such a mouthful. I've always hated that stupid name.

He, erm... He said something weird to me that night.

And I've never been able to forget it.

"Don't be a whore, Catriona. Whores get killed in this town."

- Are you ready for this? - Be careful.

You know what he's capable of.

It's busy.

He said John kicked the cat so many times,

they had to bury it in two separate boxes.

The guy's a total psychopath.

And somebody was saying he called Tommy "undereducated".

Can you believe that? What a snob!

OK, everyone, thank you for coming.

It's a very sad time as we remember our dear friend Nathan

and, of course, poor Angus as well.

Let's have a moment of silence and reflection

before we begin our prayers.

Oh. Hiya, Cameron.

Well, that's reassuring

We have every right to be here. This is our community, too.

After this. Can we go to the park? No!

How long is this gonna be? DOOR CLANGS SHUT

HUSHED CHATTER

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory.

Forever and ever. Amen.

Amen.

And thank you all so much for coming.

There's no rush to get out,

so, please, stay for as long as you need to.

And if anyone requires any additional prayers,

please talk to Tommy.

- God bless. - I think we should go.

Erm, I'm glad to see you here.

Have people been talking about me? I'm afraid so.

But, look, it's a load of rubbish.

Can I have a word, John? Somewhere more private?

Erm... It's fine, it's fine.

It's fine.

John, there's a lot of people pointing the finger

at you here tonight.

What are they saying?

That you were seen arguing with Nathan the day before he was killed.

I-I wasn't arguing. We were just talking.

Well, it'd be good if you had an alibi.

I was at home with Fiona.

Are people seriously saying I killed him?

There's all sorts of talk going around.

People are saying that you...

that you beat a man half to death in London,

that's why you moved up here, to avoid arrest.

That's not true! Who said that? Tommy?

Did...? Did Tommy say that?

John, I don't believe you killed Nathan, I really don't.

But you need to watch your back.

My superiors in Glasgow are on their way up here,

and they're gonna want to talk to you, OK?

Just... Just don't go anywhere, OK?

Ready?

John.

Glad you could make it.

It's good to see you again, Tommy.

Can I do something for you?

Maybe, maybe. Would you like me to pray for you?

Well, actually, could I pray for you?

TOMMY SCOFFS

I don't need a prayer right now, John, thank you.

Do you think the Lord would see it that way?

I thought you were an atheist.

I'm starting to think there might be something there.

Remember that night you prayed for me? Yeah.

I remember it well.

A lot happened that night, didn't it?

It certainly did.

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

I felt the same way.

You taught me...

..how to pray.

So maybe I can return the favour.

Lord God, thank you for bringing us together in this place.

And thank you for bringing Tommy... into my life.

And I pray that you'll help uncover the evil that's in our community.

Like all of us, Tommy is weak. Broken. Full of sin.

Full of hatred. Full of violence.

Amen. Help Tommy find the courage to do what's right.

Help him to repent.

You brought this on yourself.

What? What did I bring on myself, Tommy?

Thank you... Thank you so much, John, for your prayers.

It's really appreciated. You need to leave. Go, go, go.

Right, put your seatbelts on!

Fi, I'm sorry. He nearly cracked. I thought I had him.

Yeah, but now the whole town's against us.

What did Bobby say to you? Look, I think...

Oh! Oh, my God! Get out!

Jesus! Get out the car!

Quick, quick, lock the door!

Put your seatbelts on.

Get out the fucking car! Oh, my God!

Leave us alone! Come on, open the door!

Oh, my God!

CHILDREN SCREAM

Start the car!

Move, or I'm gonna run your down! You're a fucking killer, John!

Leave us alone!

Get away from them! Go! Go!

Mummy! Make them stop! It's OK. It's gonna be all right.

Get back here! Stop!

- It's just a misunderstanding. - John?

Are you OK?

It's over now. Get your family home.

DOOR OPENS

Have they gone? All clear.

This has to work now, Tommy.

It will.

You must be tired. Mm-hm.

Come on. Let's get some sleep.

Just want this to be over with now.

We're nearly there.

We're nearly there.

It's all right, sweetheart. There's nothing to be scared of, OK?

Those men aren't coming back.

They just thought Daddy was someone else. OK?

I love you. Now try and sleep, OK? Snuggle up.

Snuggle-bun.

We can't live like this, John.

We have to get out.

Maybe... Maybe we could get some police protection or something?

But we don't want the police involved

until we know for certain I didn't kill Angus.

Of course you didn't kill Angus.

But we can't prove it to the police. We need evidence.

No-one wants us here, John.

DOORBELL RINGS

Can I come in and speak to you for a minute?

Please? Before my dad sees.

Come in. Quick.

I saw what happened.

Cameron is basically a good guy. He's just lost his way.

And Mum is lovely. She hates any kind of conflict.

Dad is...

Dad is different.

There's always been something different about him.

Your cat, it had a collar with a bell?

PHONE UNLOCKS Mm-hm.

Was this it?

Yes!

I found it in a jewellery box in our garage.

I knew it! I fucking knew it! And look.

That is Angus's necklace.

There's loads of other jewellery in there, but none of it is Mum's.

I know this ring.

It's Nathan's.

Are you sure? Definitely.

I saw it when he grabbed me.

But who do all the other things belong to?

Who are we living next door to? I've heard enough.

We need to take this to the police. But all we've got are photos.

They don't prove anything. Then we have to get that box.

It's the only way to stop him.
