Original subtitles

You touch my brother again and I'll kill you. You'll kill me?

We'll see about that.

Liverpool have called. They've offered me the job.

Well, I suppose congratulations are in order.

This is the logical next step for me. Yeah, for you.

Funnily enough, though, when I think of the future, I think in terms of us.

Sion, that you?

Sion?

Can you confirm you were at the club on the night in question? Yeah.

Can someone vouch for that?

My brother, Glyn.

The man got killed.

Does your brother talk to you about it?No.

But he's been home every night?

Most nights.

You're making me late.

What's up with her? Don't ask.

Your mother, she would have wanted you to forgive and move on.

Why are you saying that now?

10:36pm, Ifan Williams goes out for a cigarette.

Do we have a name?

Piotr Korecki, Polish national.

Let's bring him in.

POLICE SIREN WAILS

Piotr Korecki? Yes.Piotr Korecki, we are arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Ifan Williams.

You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned...

What the fuck is this?Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

We have a warrant... What the fuck are you doing?

How long was he here for?

I don't know.

A while.

What did he want? Nothing.

What did you talk about then?

He was talking about the man that got killed.

What did he say about him?

He was asking where you were on Monday night.

And what did you say?

I told him you went to the pub.

Your face, who did it?

I bumped into Marc on the estate.

I couldn't help myself. You shouldn't have done that, Sion.

You've got to be careful out there, Glyn.

Listen to me.

The only thing you can trust...

..is this.

OK?

You and me.

I'll always look after you, Glyn.

And if that priest comes over here again...

..you tell him nothing, OK?

They're ready for us.

It's 2:34am on Thursday, February 11th, 2021.

Present in the room are DCI Cadi John, DS Owen Vaughan

and please state your names for the tape.

William Hewitt.

Piotr Korecki.

Piotr Korecki, you are here to be interviewed

about the murder of Ifan Williams on Monday, February 8th, 2021.

How did you know Ifan Williams?

I didn't know the guy. I heard he was killed.

That's all.

Where were you on Monday, February 8th,

between 11:00pm and 1:00am the following morning?

I don't know.

OK.

Within two hours of your altercation, Ifan Williams was dead.

Broken jaw, internal bleeding...

I didn't do this.No?

So tonight, why did you run?

You must be able to see how that makes you look.

You can't put this on me.

But you did assault him. We have it on tape.

I hit him outside the club, yes. But that was the end of it.

What were you arguing about?

Look, I didn't know him.

My friends, they worked for Ifan a bit on the farm.

He didn't pay them. Kept saying, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." But there was no money.

And then he's in a club with rolls of cash.

I wanted to ask him, to tell him, get them the money.

The money he owed them.

And then?

He was laughing, saying how we were pathetic,

begging for money, having to leave our shit country, beg for work.

I lost it.

I can't remember much. I was so angry.

So you lost control.

For a moment, yes.

But then I went home.

Look, I'm not proud of hitting him.

But I'm not sorry.

He deserved it.

Did he deserve to die too?

That's for God to decide, not me.

What do you think?

He was caught on CCTV assaulting the victim

and made a run for it on arrest.

It doesn't look good.

What's bothering you? I don't know.

There's something desperate about him. I think he looks scared.

Perhaps it's just guilt.Maybe.

Let's see what forensics throws up.

Get on to Europol in the morning,

see if they've got anything on record. Will do.

Right, I'm heading off before there's no point.

Are you heading home soon?Yeah.

Night, Vaughan.

Rozaniec? Please?

Rach, please call me back.

Look, I know you're angry, but we need to talk about this.

Bye.

You're early.

Good morning to you, too.

It seems there was a bit of trouble on the estate last night.

Bottles thrown by the locals at some of the Polish residents.

A few scuffles.

Predictable.

We'll have to run a community impact assessment,

find out who the local troublemakers are.

But kid gloves, we don't want to make it worse.

One of the PCs mentioned something about a local priest

who helped smooth things over.

OK. Find out who he is.

Where are you going? I just need to sort something out.

Can you hold the fort here for a bit? Sure.

I need to go out to the farm, speak to the widow.

Let her know there's been an arrest. Keep me posted. Of course.

Oh, and boss...

..get yourself a coffee.

You look like shit.

You look terrible.

You're not going to work, are you?

What do you think?

KNOCK ON DOOR

Hi, Glyn.

Hi, Hannah.Can I come in?

Follow me.

Here you go. For your birds.

Are you sure you don't need them? I'm sure.

Did you sack the maid or something?

Nah.

She moved on.

Someone had to.

I don't know what's going on with you, Sion, but this has to stop.

You can't call me like you did last night.

I know it was you.

It's not fair.

You finished with me.

You can't just pick up the phone

and expect me to be available whenever you want me.

OK.

OK?

No, it's not OK.

Because next time you want me in the middle of the night, you'll call again.

You've made your point.

I won't follow that pattern over and over.

I can't.

Good for you.

You can be a real dick sometimes, Sion, do you know that?

I'm sorry for everything that you've been through, I really am.

But you don't have a monopoly on pain.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

You OK?

Yeah, I'm fine. We're fine.

I'll see you at work tomorrow, Glyn.

Rachel West, please.

Now's not the best time, Cadi.

You wouldn't answer your phone.

Is this work related?

Well, then, it can wait. Rach, please.

I want to be with you. This job doesn't change that.

I'll be home every weekend.

Liverpool isn't that far. I can be back in a couple of hours.

Cadi, stop.

Stop trying to gloss over what happened.

You applied for a job without telling me.

You went to the interview without telling me!

I couldn't tell you... Oh, bullshit.

You could have told me.

You could have shared it, but you chose not to.

RACHEL SIGHS HEAVILY

I... I didn't think.

And that's the problem.

You just didn't think about me, about us.

DOOR OPENS

You knew I was driven when we met.

That's not what this is about, and you know it.

I'm not trying to hold you back.

Oh, God, I really...

I really can't do this right now.

I don't understand why this has to change anything.

It already has changed things.

Look, I've got to go, I've got work to do.

And so have you.

SHEEP BLEATING

RINGS DOORBELL

UNCLASPS SUITCASE

The LIO reports. They're all there.Finally.

I'm afraid they're all handwritten. Old school.

I had a quick look through them and tried to order them as best I could,

but I'm not sure it's helped. That's OK. Thanks, Alys.

Also, I thought you should know that

the duty sergeant's been in touch about Piotr Korecki.

It seems he's refusing food. Apparently he's very upset.

OK, thanks.

Shall I get you coffee?

Oh, you're a life-saver.

Oh, and I set up a meeting for you with the local priest.

Vaughan said he'd meet you there. Great.

PHONE RINGS

Hey, Els. Hey, you.

Just a friendly sisterly reminder

to get home at a sensible time tonight, OK?

Oh... Yeah, I know. But it means a lot to Beth,

and we don't want to push her right over the edge, do we?

Yeah, OK, OK, yeah.

I'll see you later.

CLEARS THROAT

Bye!

HORN HONKS

INSISTENT KNOCKING

Mam! Mam!

KNOCKING

Mam!

Mam!

KNOCKING

Mam!

You OK?Yeah, terrific.

This day just keeps getting better.

Father McEwan?

I'm DCI Cadi John, this is DS Owen Vaughan.

Thank you for seeing us. I'm sure you've got a lot to do.

This is about Ifan Williams, I take it?

Mm. Did you know him?

I knew of him, of his family.

They go way back around here.

Thank you.

How long have you been a priest here?

Too long, some would say.

20 years.

Community must have changed a bit in that time.

Not as much as you'd think.

This place has always been a mix of people.

The mines drew people from everywhere.

More recently, it's the Polish.

Hmm. And how well has that worked?

The Welsh and the Polish are very similar.

Reserved in nature,

worried about what other people think.

I spent a few years in Poland myself when I was a student.

And obviously, it's been good for the church.

Do you know Piotr Korecki and his wife?

Of course.

Were you aware of any tension between him and Ifan Williams?

No.

I couldn't believe it when he was arrested.

It seems so unlikely he'd be involved.

You seem pretty sure about that.

You get a sense of someone's character here.

Confession every Sunday.

Of course, I can't go into detail.

What's said in here is sacred.

It's between them and God.

We paid a visit to Dafydd O'Connell yesterday.

Do you know him?

CLEARS THROAT

Dafydd?

Yes.

He used to come to church regularly.

And now?

People lose faith.

Find it again. It's not my place to judge.

He worked with Ifan Williams for years.

Were you aware of that?

Yes.

He gave his life's service to the police.

And then he left suddenly.

I think it was pretty much over

when Ifan's father died.

There was no love lost between Ifan and Dafydd.

They were very different people. In what way?

Dafydd wanted to work for the land.

Ifan wanted the land to work for him.

THUNDER RUMBLES

Dion, you OK?

Locked out, forgot my key.

Do you want to come in for a bit until your mum comes back?

Interesting character.

Seemed pretty sure Piotr had nothing to do with it.

The church has a bit of a history of making leaps of faith.

Let's wait for the facts to come in before converting, shall we?

He had the weight of the world on his shoulders.

Like the rest of us.

Yeah, maybe he's just seen too much. Perhaps.

Though it's getting a bit late for the big questions.

Are you heading home

or are you sleeping in the office again tonight?

That obvious, was it?

Don't worry, I don't think anyone else noticed.

Get some proper sleep tonight.

And a shower.

SCOFFS INCREDULOUSLY

Here.

No? Um... I think...

Wait, this one...

Hmm!

Dion!

KNOCKING ON WINDOW

Open the door.

I know you're in there!

Dion?

I'm not messing about!

Open the door now!

Dion!

DOOR OPENS

Where is he?!

Dion?

Oh! What have I told you?

Home! But it was raining.

He was being nice. Home, now.

I swear to God, if you've touched a hair on his head,

I'll fucking kill you.

You wanted to see me?

Europol have just got back to me.

It seems that Piotr Korecki is clean.

They've got nothing on him?

Apparently not.

Sorry, not much help, is it?

CADI SIGHS

What is it?

The image of him assaulting Ifan

is at such odds with the accounts that we've been getting of him.

I just thought maybe some history might help,

make things a bit more cut and dried.

Well, he'll be here overnight anyway until forensics get back to us.

Right, back to it.

Cadi, a word of advice.

Leave the files tonight.

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come

when we're thinking about something else.

Come back tomorrow, fresh-eyed.

MUTTERED CONVERSATION

Glyn?

Glyn?

Glyn!

Are you OK?

It seems that the child... Dion, is it? ..had forgotten his key.

Your brother hasn't spoken since we arrived.Glyn!

He wouldn't hurt anyone.

He just wouldn't.

Fuck! Who the fuck does she think she is?

I understand... No, no, you don't understand.

Has there been any tension between you before?

Her son's a good kid.

But a while back, he went into my brother's shed without asking.

DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

Got himself trapped, got himself in a state.

She blamed Glyn for the whole thing.

We can have a word with her, if you like.

Don't bother.

It won't make a difference.

What happened to your face?

Accident. What, on the site?

Yeah.

If you have any other problems, give us a call.

In the meantime, it might be best for you

to stay out of each other's way. He didn't do anything!

Why should we keep out of their way?

I was thinking of your brother.

It might be less stressful for him.

It was nice to meet you, Glyn.

We'll see ourselves out.

Come on.

Glyn...

Get your coat.

We're going out.

LAUGHTER

DISTANT CHATTER

Christ, she's here!

What's this?

Thought we'd toast the old place.

Here you go.Thanks.

To Dad.

To Dad. To Dad.

Well, we finally got there.

You've worked so hard, Beth.

It's done, at least.

Just looked so bare.

Right...

Let's get this fire going one last time, shall we?

Come on, the food's not that bad.

You didn't do anything wrong.

You did a good thing.

A kind thing, letting that boy in.

It was her.

She was bang out of order.

You shouldn't have to change the way you are.

It's the world that needs to change.

I'll listen, next time.

There are people that...

Well, they'll walk all over ya.

Like Marc?

Mm-hm.

Like Marc.

Thanks for sticking up for me.

I'll always stick up for you, you know that.

We're on the same team, aren't we?

Ti a fi.

Yeah, of course we are.

I'm glad I've got you.

Caru ti, Sion.

Stay here.

I'll be back, now.

HE SOBS SOFTLY

They've got three kids.

The new owners.

I like that.

The thought of them having this place,

have memories of it, like we have.

We're all just passing through, I suppose.

Well, there's a cheery thought!

Well, let's hope none of them sneak out of their bedrooms at night

and set off a coastguard rescue.

I was looking at the constellations!

They weren't looking for me that long, anyway.

God, she didn't even get grounded!

Got away with murder!

KNOCKING

I'll go.

It was such a brilliant place to grow up, though.

Come in, we're upstairs.

Who else gets to live on their own island?

Rachel, do you want a glass? We're reminiscing.

I'm fine, thanks, I don't want to intrude.

You're not intruding.

I just wanted a quick word with Cadi, if that's all right?

Yeah, of course.

Let's... Let's go downstairs.

I didn't realise you'd have company.

I wouldn't have come over.

No, I'm glad you did.

I've been thinking all day about what you said.

And you're right.

It's just I've moved around so much.

Suppose you learn not to invest too heavily in people.

It's easier not to.

RACHEL SCOFFS

What?

So, what you're saying is you keep everyone at arm's length

for your own convenience?

No, I...

I've seen what people are capable of.

So have I.

You know, I would have fallen for it when I was younger.

The mystery, the desperation of trying to get close to someone

who was so near, yet so far.

But...

I'm too old for that now.

I know what I want.

So do I.

Why are you looking over my shoulder, then?

I'm not.

I really thought we were something.

But you keep wanting...

You keep looking for something.

And I don't even think you know what it is.

I want you. Oh...

You say all the right things, but you don't mean them, not really.

You just...

You're just used to having your own way.

And don't lie to me, Cadi, don't lie to yourself,

you're worth more than that.

Rach, please.

DOOR SHUTS

Our father...

..who art in heaven...

..hallowed be thy name...

...thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done.

On Earth...

..as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread.

And forgive us...

..our trespasses.

As we forgive those

who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation.

But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom...

..power...

..and the glory.

Forever...

..and ever.

Amen.

DOOR SHUTS

I've been looking through the LIO reports.

Apparently, Ifan Williams was arrested for driving under age.

What's your problem? People like you talking shit about things

you know nothing about, that's my problem.

My mum died too, and I was sad for a long time.

But I'm better now.

It is a family home. My family home.

I'm afraid it isn't any longer.

Can you think of a reason anyone would have to hurt him?

Sorry, isn't that your job?

HE SCREAMS

An eye for an eye.

Isn't that what they say?
