Geraint Ellis, retired school teacher, lived alone.

There's cops crawling all over the place.

I just want to work.

I'm just trying to get a clearer picture of your history.

It's been months.

Beth's here, she wants to start going through Dad's stuff.

Let her if that's what she wants to do.

But why, Ellis?

There was rumor that he had a thing for kids.

{an8}Does we have a COD?

Asphyxiation, death by drowning.

Do you think there was more than one assailant?

Yes, I do.

Two assailants, if not more.

How did the cops find out about the old man?

- It was you, wasn't it? - The fuck?

I didn't give them our names, just the address.

Oh, no, please don't! No, I'm sorry!

He shouldn't have done that, should he, Lee?

The estate is crawling with fucking cops.

Can't fucking do anything around here without them watching.

She still in bed?

Must have worn her out last night.

You were home late.

What did you get up to, huh?

What are you two talking about?

Nothing.

Lee, Lee!

Lee!

Lee, Lee!

I heard the gate.

I've been meaning to put some oil on it

but, well, it's quite handy, it's better than a door bell.

You haven't slept, have you?

- 'Course I have. - Mam.

No.

I've told you, you don't need to worry about me.

- I've got my phone. - Which you don't answer.

- You can talk to me, you know that. - I know.

You should have called, just to let me know.

I do know the drill.

You've gotta find your own feet, hate me for a while.

- If there's a problem with a girl or if you haven't settled... - Of course I've settled.

- It's been ages. - Okay.

But you can't expect me not to worry.

Not after what happened to that old man.

The season's started.

The fishing licenses come into the shop.

I'll steal you one if you like.

He tried to teach me, you know?

Your tad-cu.

I think he was quite disappointed I was a girl.

That's why he was so happy when you arrived.

And then your brother.

He was a good man.

You look just like him.

Right, I'd better go and make you some breakfast.

You should take your brother fishing.

I think he misses you.

We both do.

Oh, sorry, did I wake you?

Yeah, you would have done if I was asleep.

Lois still not phoned?

She's not answered any of my messages.

She's too much like me.

This is such an important exam year for her.

I don't want her to throw her chances away because of me or her dad.

Has he talked to her?

He's not gonna try too hard, is he?

I knew it would be difficult with him,

but I didn't think Lois would just shut me out like this.

I'm sorry.

It's fine, I'm fine.

There is always coffee and wine.

Go, you'd better get to the station.

Yeah.

I'll see you.

Blood spatter analysis suggests that the victim was still conscious

when he was dragged from the landing into the bathroom.

He was then lifted into the bath and we believe a flannel found at the scene

was then placed over his mouth and the taps turned on.

Cause of death, asphyxiation, death by drowning.

The body lay undiscovered for some time.

The victim was last seen on February 28th.

We're waiting results from entomology to establish a window.

The deceased made a number of calls to the police for over a decade before his death,

complaining of harassment by local teenagers.

The offenses were low level in nature

but it points towards a pattern of victimization.

A pattern I believe led to Geraint Ellis's gradual withdrawal from his community.

We're in touch with Social Services. Alys, any luck with local youth groups?

There was a youth center on the Bryn Carreg Estate.

It was closed down 18 months ago.

Uniform are speaking to the youth leader to see what they can find out.

Thank you.

The only possible lead we have at the moment

is a former pupil of Mr. Ellis, Karl Lewis.

Karl made a complaint against him in 2007.

So it is possible that he and his associates were involved in the attack.

Associates?

PM results confirm multiple attackers.

This was a sustained and brutal attack on a vulnerable member of our community.

The case is gathering traction in the press,

and the public need to see a strong police presence to reassure them,

particularly the vulnerable and those living alone.

That's all.

Nice of you to join us, Vaughan.

Okay.

Yeah, no, great, everything clear.

Thanks.

Bye.

Entomology.

Five-day window between the 28th February and the 4th March.

That was three weeks ago.

Second stage larvae, best they could do.

I found him, Karl Lewis.

He lives in Blaenau, rents a flat in the middle of town.

I just spoke to the girlfriend, he works at the power station.

- Got a lift in with his mate this morning. - Okay, great.

Er... find out how long he's been working there

and his shift patterns between the 28th February and the 4th of March.

Got it.

- Ready? - I was born ready.

I want to carry mine.

No, you'll drop it.

Please? Promise I won't.

Carry that, then.

For the fish you're gonna catch me, hey?

Right, Liam, come on.

It's gonna be massive!

Have they found the man who did it?

- Con? - Come on.

They said there was blood everywhere.

- Who says that? - Boy in school.

Said it was the black nun.

An address for Geraint Ellis' daughter.

- Morning, I'm PC Mari and this is... - We know each other.

Is your brother about?

Inside.

Just a couple of routine questions.

Suppose you've heard the news?

Nice car.

Thanks.

I'll keep a look out for it.

Oh, yeah, me and the old perv, we were tight.

Just answer the questions.

We just need to ascertain whether you heard or saw anything

out of the ordinary around the time specified.

No, officer.

We're looking into reports that Ellis had been targeted

by some of the young people on the estate.

Mr. Williams?

Dad, it's alright.

What? What are you gonna ask him?

Fucking harassment this is, you can see what kind of state he's in.

What's your problem anyway?

You're always following me around, coming round my house.

- Okay, back off! - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Come on.

Lee!

They're gonna be hiding deep down.

They won't be moving much.

Did Dad teach you?

No, Tad-cu.

But did Dad fish too?

I don't know.

Not with me, anyway.

I've told you before, Dad wasn't a very nice man.

Tad-cu was different.

He could tie any fly you wanted, from memory.

He'd look at the colors around,

look at what bugs and flies there are and copy them.

See that?

That's fur off a hare, that.

He said that what you're trying to do is copy nature.

Trick the fish into thinking that this is tastiest,

juiciest bug it ever saw, even if it isn't hungry.

You've gotta make it want it.

Make it crave it, till it can't think of anything else.

Until it swims up and bang, hooked.

Right, then, we're almost set.

- Be careful. - Okay.

- And don't fall in. - I won't.

- And try and be quiet. - Okay.

Mia, didn't expect to see you again so soon.

Connor was quite late back last night.

Wasn't your mam worried?

Is Connor around?

No, he's out.

Oh, we had an essay to do, that's all, I wanted to get it done.

Good on you.

No offense but, I'd like to go to college, perhaps.

No offense taken.

I really respect what you've done.

Escape that bloke, set a good example for Connor.

Was there anything else?

Pack of 20 for my Mam, please.

People can't seem to give up what's bad for them, can they?

What if the fucker's gone to the cops?

Perhaps he has.

Perhaps he's told them everything.

Perhaps they're on their way here now.

I'm gonna kill him.

He makes one anonymous call and the next thing I know,

- the fucking cops are at my house. - Calm down.

How the fuck am I meant to calm down?

I'm going to make sure the bastard never talks again, I am.

- You'll get your chance. - I'll fucking kill him.

I said, you'll get your chance.

But first, I need you to apologize to him.

What?

- Need to get him back on side. - Fuck off.

Do you trust me?

We're family.

Not like him, he's nothing.

I'll sort him out.

- I got one, I got one! - Right, don't play it, pull him in.

- I got one! - Liam, concentrate.

- Oh, it's massive. - It's tiny.

- I can't wait to show Mam. - It's too small, Liam.

You know the drill.

We've gotta give the poor bugger a chance.

You know it's the right thing to do.

And then you can come back next year and catch him when he's massive, eh?

Hey, it was a great fish, mind.

Right, come on, I'm starving.

- Oh, just a little bit more. - No, come on.

- Please? - Liam, no, I've said.

Just listen.

Come on.

A present for you, house-to-house reports.

- Great. - Enjoy.

Oh, sorry.

Hi, Beth, you okay?

- Where are you? - I'm at work.

But it's the weekend.

Yeah, I know.

Have you spoken to Elin?

No, what about?

I'm worried about her, Cads.

The whole thing with Dad, with Rhydian.

She's not in a good place.

Yeah, well, she's not the only one.

Cad, you're not listening.

You need to take this seriously.

- I haven't seen her like this before. - Okay.

Okay, I'll talk to her.

We need to look out for each other.

Isn't that what Dad would have wanted?

Point made, bye Beth.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I won't be long.

Hello, Titch.

Hey, go put the stuff back in the house and then wash your hands before tea.

- Can they come in? - Go put the stuff back.

- Please? - Liam, put the stuff back.

- Where've you been hiding? - I wasn't hiding.

I sent you a message.

Lee had something to say to you.

Listen, things got a bit out of hand last night.

I freaked out, that's all.

I shouldn't have taken it out on you.

So we're all friends again?

Good.

There's a party up at the quarry, wanna come?

I can't.

Oh, come on.

- It's just that... - Or shall we come in and hang out With Liam like he said?

No, no.

Yeah, sure, 'course I'll come.

Good, let's go.

Can't stay long.

Yeah, it is busy.

So, what do you want?

You need to give your mum a break.

Argh... argh... she left us.

- Just upped and went like it meant nothing. - But you know that's not true.

Dad didn't do anything wrong.

Apparently, we weren't good enough for her either.

What kind of a mother does that?

She was just trying to do her best.

- Keep everything the same for you. - She didn't even ask me, just made up her mind.

I'm not a kid any more.

- Oh, everything's changed. - Well, has it?

Well, you're still in the same house.

You've got your brother.

Your dad loves you, your mum loves you.

She's still there for you.

You know, as you get older, you just... just realize that people make mistakes,

even when they're just trying to do their best.

Like you, you mean?

Dragging Taid's name through the mud when he was dying.

But you got your promotion, didn't you?

That's what's important.

Don't talk to me about families.

You and mum, you're just as bad as each other.

Better get that.

Hi.

Yeah, everything's fine.

Okay, I'll pick you up in ten minutes, bye.

Hiya.

Oh, hiya, Mam.

So, where's this fish, then?

Connor made me throw it back.

- What, you actually caught one? - Yeah!

- Connor said it was too small. - Oh.

Oh, well, fish fingers it is, then.

Con, I'm putting fish fingers on, how many do you want?

Mam, he's gone out.

It's okay, Mam, I'm 12 next month, I'm not a baby.

His daughter, a DCI.

Shit, I'm so sorry.

Better go home.

Are you sure?

Well, unless you think she can help us with the case.

Goodnight.

Okay, let's go.

Alright, bruv, cuz?

Smile, it's a party not a fucking funeral.

Are you going to let us pass or what?

Yeah, if you behave yourself.

Got a little job later on.

Cops are keeping an eye on the car, Jase, they said.

- Will they fuck! - They're watching.

Only going for a spin.

What, you fucking scared?

All you need to remember is, this is my car.

In six months, I'm getting my license back,

or I can leave it in the garage if you want?

Okay.

Owen?

Lowri, you're looking well.

Back at work, then?

Yeah.

Fancy seeing you.

I kept meaning to get in touch to thank you.

- You... you were really kind but I... - That's fine.

Sometimes you need a bit of distance, put things behind you.

Yeah, you're right.

Sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago.

And sometimes it feels like yesterday.

But I guess I was one of the lucky ones,

when I think of those other girls.

Well, you look great, really great.

We should go for coffee some time.

- Actually, I've just had a daughter, she's in the car. - Aw, congratulations!

Thanks.

- No sleep. - Oh, comes with the territory, I guess.

Oh, she's a lucky girl to have you as her dad.

It's nice seeing you.

- You too, Lowri. - I'll see you around.

Hi, are you alright?

Strange how you can be related but feel like strangers.

It's like we're a different species.

I don't understand, Lee, Jason.

Dealing, scrabbling around, thinking they're something.

There are two types of people in the world.

People who shuffle around head down, blind, living a sort of half life,

and you, me.

The old man, he had nothing left to live for.

Can't you see?

We didn't do anything.

Me and you, we're more than that.

Hey, what are you two talking about?

Nothing.

Go on, Connor, go back to the party.

Go on, I've had enough, I'm going home.

Well, I'll come with you.

No, no, it's all right, you stay.

You alright?

You should be nicer to me.

See?

Much better, isn't it?

A lot better.

You crazy bitch.

I keep thinking about what we did.

This is not a time for secrets.

And it feels like everyone's watching me.

But a time for truth.

Like they can see it.

This is not a time to shield the guilty.

It is a time to seek them out.

Fuck off.

- Police. - Fuck!

- Just talk. - No, just shut the fuck up, Mam.

For fuck's sakes, why didn't you just leave it?

Something as evil as that, it leaves a scar.

You are so fucked up.

He was ill, sick.

We just put him out of his misery.
