Original subtitles

It's a family home. My family home.

I'm afraid that's no longer true.

I'm sorry things turned out like that...

..but think of it as a fresh start.

I've made a complete mess of things with Rachel.

I don't know how to fix it.

I may not be the best person to offer advice...

..but don't give up on her, Cadi.

I'm sorry Ifan's dead, I really am.

I had nothing to do with it.

(HANNAH) Sion, is that you?

Tell me.

Who else knew?

I cannot and I will not tell you.

SHE SIGHS

FOOTSTEPS

Caught red-handed.

Want some help with that wine?

Still not sleeping? No.

You and Rhyds are OK though? Um, yes.

I've just got to get back into a routine...

..with Rhyds, Lois and Twm.

I don't know.

It's like I lost my place when I left.

I'm just trying to find it again.

No, you're doing great.

So...

..are you going to tell me?

How things are with Rachel?

Not great.

I've messed things up I think.

SHE SIGHS

I really miss her.

I never meant to hurt her.

I hadn't realised...

..how much it would hurt me.

You know, Rhydian and I have always argued.

Always wanted different things.

I remember going to see Dad once, after an argument...

..and he told me that he and mam used to argue quite a lot.

I know!

He also said the only thing you can do...

..is get up again in the morning...

..and choose each other again.

Every day.

If you do that...

..things will work out fine.

Maybe we're just on different paths. Or maybe that's an excuse?

Saying things like that to yourself...

..just allows you to keep doing what you're doing.

It allows Rachel to be a dream.

Thing is, Cads, dreams can be really cold.

They lead to empty beds and regrets.

Isn't it better to know?

Even if things don't work out...

I'd better go back up.

KISSES HER TENDERLY

I love you.

DOOR OPENS

You shouldn't be in here, Sion.

You disturb the birds.

What are you doing?

The hawk. I told you about it.

I have to get rid of it.

Hannah said that this is what her dad used to do.

She said it was kinder this way.

I don't know if I can do this, Sion.

Hey... it's OK.

Sometimes, we have to do things we don't want to do.

But it's for the best...

..and there's no one to blame for that.

It's just the way it works out sometimes.

Why did you sleep in the shed? I was home late.

I didn't want to disturb you.

Where were you last night?

Does it matter?

You're big enough to look after yourself, aren't you?

Of course.

Are you going to the woods now? Once I've done this.

Caru ti, Glyn.

You smell! Go and have a shower.

Cadi. Can I have a word?

I wanted to give you this in person.

Your formal transfer notice.

It arrived this morning.

Aren't you going to open it? I'll do it later.

How would you feel about being on the interview panel...

..to find your replacement?

Your insight would be invaluable and I know you want to make sure...

..we find the right partner for Vaughan.

Yes, if you think it'd help.

Of course.

Thank you.

Hello?

SHE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR

Hello?

It's Lea.

Hello?

SHE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR

Sorry about yesterday, I just...

..panicked.

No joy?

I don't know.

I was here last night trying to find something... anything.

I keep trying to reconfigure the pieces...

..hoping something new comes up.

That's the definition of madness.

Doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result.

Hey! You'd better be nice to me.

Lynn just asked me to help find your new partner.

Whoever it is, it can't be worse than the last one!

KNOCK ON WINDOW

Sorry for interrupting.

A body's been found on the estate. It looks like an assault.

Got the address? Yes.

I've dispatched a unit to the scene. Thank you.

Let's go.

DOOR SLAMS SHUT

I'll join you in a minute. OK.

Ma'am.

Any signs of a forced entry? No.

Weapon? Not obvious.

Do you think there's a link with the Ifan Williams case?

KNOCK ON DOOR Ma'am. Path's here.

I'll leave you to it.

Hi.

Morning.

What time was it called in?

About an hour ago.

I need you to clear the scene for me.

He's all yours.

SHE SIGHS

Lea Pryce?

Remember her?

She called it in.

She still lives at the same address.

Small world.

OK, I'll head over there now.

See if you can get a list of his parishioners.

We should start there.

I'm so sorry you saw what you saw today.

He came to see me last night.

I didn't even let him in.

I left him standing on the doorstep.

Do you remember what time that was?

Around 10-ish.

And that's the last time you saw him or heard from him?

I woke up this morning to this... this mess.

I don't know.

Something just clicked.

I can't do this any more.

I wanted to take him something...

..and promise him I wouldn't keep tripping myself up any more.

Can you think of anyone who had a reason to do this to him?

No.

No...

He was a good man.

He was trying to help me.

They want to kick me out of this house.

I was so angry...

..but not with him.

Lea...

..you couldn't have known this would happen.

They keep saying it's just me here now.

It's like they're forcing me out.

Mali.

Dad.

They're what I'm holding on to.

I can cope if I can feel them around me.

Sometimes...

..I think we confuse places with people.

Those memories you have will never be taken away from you.

That's what Father McEwan said. He was right.

It feels like sometimes death and these things...

..it's like they follow me around or I attract them.

No. That's not true.

Father McEwan saw the value in you.

He wanted you to do well.

I didn't deserve it.

What you've got to remember is...

..you went there this morning.

You'd made your decision.

He'd be devastated if this derailed you.

I'd say it was even more of a reason to keep going.

PHONE RINGS

Hiya. (RACHEL) Hey.

Sorry, I had to leave.

It's OK, listen... I was hoping we could talk.

Actually, it's about the case.

Of course...

So far, everything points to...

..a strangulation.

Bruising to the front of the neck, broken cartilage.

It's... well, I have to say...

..it's very similar to the injuries found on Ifan Williams.

Except, in this case, there are no apparent defensive wounds.

Nothing to suggest he fought back.

He didn't offer any resistance? It seems not and that's unusual.

I'd expect to see injuries to the arms and the hands...

..unless the attack came from behind.

But that's not the case?

The lesions are on the larynx.

His attacker was standing right in front of him, face to face.

Does that help?

I'm not sure... maybe.

Anyway, I thought you should know.

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

OK... I'd better go. Rach?

Think about it.

About us talking.

OK.

Come with me.

Where are we going?

As I see it, only one man connects Ifan Williams and Father McEwan.

Let's see if he'll talk.

SHE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR

Mr O'Connell.

Can we have a word?

Of course.

I'm afraid we've got some bad news.

We found Father McEwan this morning.

Somebody attacked him.

I'm sorry to have to tell you that he's dead.

No...!

He told us that you used to attend his church?

Yes.

Can you tell us where you were last night?

I was here.

A neighbour and I have been repairing a fence...

..behind the house here.

We worked quite late.

Until the sun went down anyway.

Can your neighbour confirm that?

Yes, of course.

We're looking at a possible connection...

..to the death of Ifan Williams.

We now have two dead men...

..and both have links to you.

What are you trying to say? I'm just asking.

Just asking if you can think of anything...

..that might connect Father McEwan and Ifan Williams?

Oh, that bloody boy!

That stupid bloody boy! Mr O'Connell, are you OK?

What happened, Dafydd?

It was years ago...

..when I was on the farm.

Ifan was throwing his weight around in the village.

Drinking.

There was a group of them. Up to no good.

Mair would stay up all night...

..hoping he'd come home safe, in one piece.

He always did, of course...

..with a black eye...

..and that attitude of his.

Dai and Mair went somewhere one day.

They asked me to keep an eye on things.

I was there late, about to go home.

I walked into the shed to lock up.

I saw Ifan.

He had a jerrycan.

He stank of petrol.

He was drunk. Wasn't making much sense.

I told him to get inside the house, out of the way.

I thought nothing of it...

..until the next day...

..when I heard about the fire...

..and the woman who died.

Why didn't you tell the police?

Why?!

How could I know?

I didn't know for certain.

Ifan carried on like there was nothing wrong.

How could someone behave like that if they'd done something so awful?

I walked to the farm a hundred times to tell his mam and dad...

..but I turned back every time.

So you told the priest? Father McEwan?

Yes.

I sat there, in confession.

I told him everything...

..and he absolved me.

And that was the end of it?

He told me to leave it behind.

He gave me permission to bury it...

..but...

..it's still here, eating away at me.

Father McEwan didn't absolve me of my sins.

He chained them to me.

BANGING ON THE DOOR

(HANNAH) Sion?

BANGING ON THE DOOR

I know you're there, Sion. I've still got my key.

What do you want?

Jesus, Sion, what are you doing?

Sion, you need to tell me what's going on.

Nothing's going on. Don't bullshit me.

You told me to stay out of your life now I need you to stay out of mine.

Are you in trouble?

You need to go.

This isn't like you.

What's happened? Nothing's fucking happened!

You're the one who turned up here shouting.

Sion, please, just... Just shut up!

Where's Glyn?

Out.

Why was the door locked and you're sitting in the dark?

Will you just fucking go?

No! I won't just fucking go!

I'm sorry.

You can't help me, Han.

You can't.

We can talk about this, whatever it is.

We can talk about it.

What do you want from me?

Please, Sion.

Sion?

I have to ask you this.

I don't want to but I need to know.

Was it you?

Did you kill that man?

Do you think it was me?

I don't know.

I need you to tell me.

You've changed, Sion.

Have I?

Or have I always been like this but you refused to see it?

If you've done anything...

..Glyn would...

You'd be leaving him and he's already lost his mother.

How could you do that to him?

I haven't done anything wrong.

Nothing.

I need you to go.

Now.

And you've got to promise to never think about us again.

I did it.

It's alright, Glyn.

It had to be done, didn't it?

I saw Hannah.

What did she want?

She was worried about you.

About me.

And she was right.

We need to stick together, don't we?

Ti a fi.

It was for the best, Glyn.

The hawk was a threat, wasn't it?

You fixed the problem.

That's what you do when you have to look after things.

Are you OK, Sion?

I know it's been difficult...

..but I'm going to fix things.

For both of us.

Cadi?

Hi.

They told me you were on your way back.

DNA profiling from earlier.

They owed me a rush-order.

You could have phoned.

I wanted to hand it to you.

What's the top line?

The secondary DNA from the priest...

..matches DNA scraped in the Ifan Williams case.

Confirming the same assailant? Yes. It's safe to say that.

Thank you.

I should have talked to you.

I screwed up.

Look...

..if moving away is what you need...

..I won't ask you to stay.

I wouldn't do that to you.

I really have to go.

Go on.

Where are we going, Sion?

On an adventure.

OK, this is what we know.

Ifan Williams...

..killed.

Death by asphyxiation.

Farmer.

Deep in debt.

He's in the system.

Petty stuff, going way back.

Teenage troublemaker, nothing exceptional.

We now know that around this time there was a terrible tragedy.

A house fire. Arson.

Branwen Thomas. Auxiliary nurse.

Died in the blaze.

Red diesel accelerant. Impossible to trace.

No clear motive.

No previous threat to life.

The case is unsolved.

Nothing at the time that would point to...

..Ifan Williams.

Twenty years later...

..and it's a different story.

There was a connection.

Caught in the middle of it is...

..Father McEwan, found dead this morning.

And just confirmed...

..the same assailant as Ifan Williams.

Where does this take us now?

Back to our dead nurse...

..and her two sons that survived.

They spent some time in foster care.

They were nearing adulthood...

..so they got on the housing list.

They'll both be in their thirties now.

One of the brothers, Glyn Thomas...

..seen in this photo...

..was at the same school and in the same class as Ifan Williams.

Glyn Thomas and his brother...

..Sion Thomas.

This picture was taken shortly before Glyn was moved...

..to a special English medium school.

Sion stayed, so this is our focus.

Their last known address is local.

It might be out of date but that's where we start.

We were called out to these boys a few days ago.

Aggro with one of their neighbours.

We need the closest unit to the house right away.

We'll meet them there.

Police! Open the door!

Police! Stand back from the door.
