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

John.

Piotr Korecki, we are arresting you on suspicion of the murder

of Ifan Williams.

I'm sorry, Richard. We can't proceed without the claimant present.

I asked to get the meeting rearranged.

Just don't play me for a fool here.

Hang on, I'm short.Too right you're short.

You've been late three times in the past two weeks.

You applied for a job without telling me.

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

It already has changed things.

GULLS SQUAWK

Yeah, I appreciate that.

I'm just not going to be able to make it this week.

I've been late getting paid.

Come on! There must be something you can do?

I've been with you for years. Always paid.

I'm just asking for a few more weeks.

Thanks a fucking lot!

Sion?

If you want a lift to work, I'm leaving in five minutes.

Guide me in your truth and teach me.

For you are God, my saviour.

CONGREGATION:Teach me your grace, O Lord.

Remember that your compassion, O Lord,

and your kindness are from of old.

In your kindness, remember me.

Because of your goodness, O Lord.

Teach me your ways, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord.

Thus he shows sinners the way.

He guides the humble to justice.

He teaches the humble his way.

Teach me your ways, O Lord.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

Surely it can't take that long?

Yes.

Yeah, I understand that.

OK, well, as soon as the results are in,

I want them sent directly to me.

DCI Cadi John.

My e-mail's on the system.

Chasing forensics.

It's still early. They're probably not in.

Er, I've been looking through the LIO reports.

Apparently Ifan Williams was arrested

for driving under age.

And?

And I want to go up to the farm.

Grab your coat.

Do I have time for a coffee? No.

HE SIGHS

SHEEP BLEAT

Ow! SHE LAUGHS

COCKEREL CROWS

I'll pick you up after work.

It's all right. Geoff can give me a lift.

No, I'll pick you up.

I like getting a lift with Geoff.

I'm going home with him.

Fine.

Suit yourself.

Morning, Glyn.

KNOCKING

Always thought he was the dog's bollocks, though, didn't he?

Yeah. Do you really think he'd go that far?

Don't know his history though.

They let him into the country, fuck knows where they're from,

what they've done. True. What are you talking about?

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

you know nothing about, that's my problem.Sion, come on.

What, you and Polish boy best mates now, are you?

Last time I checked, you were eyeballing each other.

If you're asking me, they should string the fucker up.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Think you're a big man? You're fucking nothing!

Sion!

Oi!

Oi! What the fuck's going on here?

Nothing, boss. Look, I've had enough of this shit. You, get back to work.

And you, go and cool the fuck down somewhere!

He... I don't want to fucking hear it!

Go! Now!

He's fucking lost it, hasn't he? Yeah.

That stuff'll kill you.

You can talk.

I normally get a sense of who they were,

the victims.

It's like nobody knew him.

His wife...

Even his mother thought he was somebody he wasn't.

Maybe he didn't know who he was.

There's got to be somebody that was close to him.

Somebody that he didn't rub up the wrong way.

His mate, John Lloyd?

Yeah, he's worth looking into.

Friendships usually end for a reason.

Vaughan, I need to tell you something.

Well, that doesn't sound good.

I've been offered a job.

Detective Super.

At Merseyside.

And they want me to start immediately.

That's amazing.

It really is.

I'm so happy for you, Cadi.

I really am.

I'm going to bloody miss you though.

Who else is going to nag me about my life choices?

Why am I sensing there's a hitch?

No hitch.

Not really...

I've really fucked things up with Rachel

and I don't know how to fix it.

She's not on board with this?

I didn't really give her a chance to be on board.

And now it's too late.

Maybe I'm not the best person to give advice, but...

..don't give up on her, Cadi. If it's what you want.

If the last year's taught me anything,

it's that.

Glyn, can you carry a sack of feed out to Mrs Williams' car, please?

I'm sorry.

About what? About your husband.

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

But I'm better now.

Thank you.

Is it safe to come in? They should have burnt all these.

All these medical records.

Shown some respect.

These are people's lives.

People's details. No-one's going to see them.

That's not the point.

You know, the only ones to keep track of you from birth to

death are doctors and priests.

Cradle to grave.

It's only paper. No, it's not.

It's people's trust.

It's people's confidence.

It's not just paper, it's people's lives.

You know, you play by the rules, you expect things to get better.

You think that one day,

you'll be seen...

..you'll feel valued.Sion, mate...

You think that if you stand in the fucking queue for long enough,

you'll get to the front.

But it doesn't work like that.

We're just pieces of paper that people have walked on,

filed, forgotten, done with.

Left behind.

KEY IN LOCK

DOOR CLOSES

I'll make us some coffee, shall I?

The housing appointment's at 12:30.

You may want to take a shower?

Let's not miss it this time, huh?

I need you to find a John Lloyd for me.

He was in the same school year as Ifan Williams,

so it might be a good place to start.

KNOCKS ON GLASS

How are you getting on?

Er... We've just been to see Ifan's mother.

Apparently, she was the one that called in the animal abuse.

She shopped her own son?

Can't have been easy for her.

Seemed like desperate measures,

trying to protect whatever legacy was left on the farm.

Apart from that,

there's a former farm hand who was discarded by Ifan.

Pattern of behaviour, you think?

Yeah, maybe.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Finally, forensics have come back. Piotr is clean.

Well, at least we can eliminate him.

Let the duty officer know that he needs to be prepared for release.

Have a car stationed outside the house too, just for a few days.

We don't want any tensions escalating on the estate.

So, where does this leave us?

I think we need to start again.

We're missing something.

There's something about that family and his upbringing that just

doesn't sit right.

Thomas, a word.

That's you paid till the end of the day. Take it and go.

You're firing me? Looks like it, doesn't it?

Well, what do you fucking expect? But I need this job.

I haven't got the time for this. I haven't got the time to deal

with a waster like you. I've checked the work sheets

and you've been late almost every other morning.

I'm the only one in the house bringing any real money in.

You should have thought of that before throwing your weight around.

There's no other work around. Please, come on, help me out.

I gave you a warning.

And I've given you plenty of chances.

I don't need the drama.

SHE SIGHS

What is it?

There seems to have been a couple of boys causing some

trouble for a few years.

John's name comes up quite a lot, reports of rabbit

and deer lamping, theft, fires started in the woods.

It's relatively low-grade stuff, but it's consistent.

Any mention of Ifan?

No, only in relation to the driving.

From what we know, it would be typical

of him to fly under the radar. Mm.

This guy just seemed to walk through life with impunity,

his mother protecting him, the farm a safe haven.

I don't know, it just feels like he never had to face up to the

consequences of his actions.

Sorry to disturb you, I found an address for John Lloyd.

He works at a local forestry commission, 20 miles away.

His wife says he's on shift now. Great. Thanks, Gwawr.

Shall we pay him a visit? No time like the present.

As you can see from her case worker report,

she's been following the program.

The house is in good order

and she's even done some cosmetic work, herself.

Yes. Thank you, Father McEwan.

The thing is, as you're well aware,

demand for these houses outstrips supply by a long way.

We have to justify providing such a large property for single occupancy.

It's her family home, though.

Yes, but we're aware that Mr Price is not currently residing in the

property and that that is unlikely to change in the short

or medium term.

Is that correct?

My dad's still in jail, if that's what you're asking.

Stability is what Lea needs at the moment. She's been through a lot.

I'm aware of that.

But Lea is no longer a minor and as a single person,

she could easily be accommodated in a smaller property.

Somewhere closer to town, perhaps?

This is a family home.

Yeah.

It is a family home.

My family home.

I'm afraid it isn't any longer.

DOOR SLAMS

So, what now? What do I do now?

It's just a house, Lea.

It's all I've got left.

Of Dad...

..Mam, Mali...

All of them.

Don't let this spoil things, Lea.

You've been doing well.

I'm sorry, Lea.

Come on.

I'll drop you home.

Home?

CAR DOOR SHUTS, HORN TOOTS

DOOR OPENS

You're home early.

They fired me.

I lost my job.

It's OK. I'm still working.

Sion.

We've still got my wages.

And you really think that'll help?

You don't have a fucking clue.

Don't say that, don't treat me like a kid.

I can ask them... It's not even a proper job, Glyn!

Don't say that. Mam said we stick together, have each other's backs.

What the fuck does it matter about Mam?! She's dead!

She's dead and it's only you and me, ti a fi!

Can't you fucking see that?!

Oh, God...

I'm sorry, OK?

No.

Leave me alone. Glyn, please...Get off me!

Fuck!

Argh!

Argh!

Argh!

Morning. Looking for John Lloyd.

He's in here. Thanks.

John Lloyd?

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

Is there somewhere we could talk?

We can talk here. Not like there's anyone to listen in, is there?

OK, I'll get straight to the point. You were friends with Ifan Williams.

So?

You'd known him since school?

What's this about?

Just answer the question, please.

Yes, I'd known him since school. And afterwards?

On and off. What do you mean, "on and off"?

I don't know. We hung around a bit when we were younger.

Then, we didn't. What happened? You fell out?

No.

Just one of those things.

In my experience, friendships don't just self-combust.

His mother said that you were very close for a long time.

Jesus! We were kids!

What do you want me to say?

We grew up. Ifan had his life to live, I had mine.

No hard feelings.

Ifan...

Ifan didn't give a fuck.

He'd give it to you straight.

No bullshit.

Do you know how rare that is?

Nobody's got the balls to say fuck all these days.

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

Sorry, isn't that your job?

Your name comes up quite a lot in our LIO reports.

Just informal notes about some "high jinks" you were involved in

when you were young.

I think the important word there was "informal". We were kids.

There wasn't much to do in the middle of nowhere.

You had to make your own fun. It's quite a list, though.

Antisocial behaviour,

driving without a licence, fighting...

Big fish, small pond.Everybody feels like that when they're young.

What, above the law?

We never crossed that line. No?

No. We didn't.

Sorry.

I'm a busy man.

If you haven't got anything important to ask me, I'm going

to get back to work.

Nice guy.

You get the friends you deserve. Ouch!

Oh, God, I'll drop you home. I've promised to be back at Elin's.

Rhydian's cooking.Bet you're looking forward to that.

Like you wouldn't believe.

Sion?

Sion?

KNOCKS ON DOOR

Sorry I'm late.It's fine. I'm just glad you're here.

Turns out that Rhyds isn't as much of a chef as he thought.

He's burnt the lot! I've ordered takeaway. OK.Come through.

ENGINE STARTS

KNOCKS ON GLASS

Lea?

I know you're in there.

Today was just another bump in the road.

And you've got through so many.

This will pass.

I'm sorry things went the way they did.

I really am.

But you could also think of it as a new beginning.

A new start.

We can't see it at the time...

..but sometimes...

..the most difficult things that happen to us

are the best things.

They force us to change.

Change the way we think.

Anyway...

..I'll go now.

Goodnight, Lea.

SOFTLY: Goodnight.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

You OK? Mm-hm. I think I'm going to head into work for a bit.

Now?

Are you sure? What about food?

I need it, Els.

I can't sit here, thinking about things.

I'll leave a key under the mat for you.

SIGHS

I've been sat here... Jesus Christ! Who...?

I've been sat here, thinking... Sion? Is that you? I said, I've been sat here, thinking...

How did you get in? Shut up and let me speak!

I've been sat here, thinking...

..how a priest...

..a man of God...

..could let someone he said he cared about suffer.

Sion...

Sion...

You knew.

All those years,

you knew.

The agony.

The not knowing that was tearing me apart.

You let me believe it was an accident.

You even came to the house...

..to look after us.

And all the while, you knew who was responsible

for lighting that fire...

..for killing our mother.

And I've had to live with that.

I was newly ordained.

I was young.

And everyone said how good you were to us.

Sion...

..I didn't do anything wrong.

What? Is that how you've lived with this?

There are vows.

The seal of confession is sacred.

Who was it?

Who told you?

I said, who was it?

Who else knew? You've got to tell me.

Did you kill Ifan?

An eye for an eye.

Isn't that what they say? You've got to tell them.

Confess?

They'll find a way to help you.

Like you did?

Sion, don't do this.

Branwen wouldn't have wanted this.

Don't you dare say her name!

You gave up the right to speak for her

when you protected the person that killed her!

You've got your revenge.

Revenge isn't justice.

Truth is justice.

Tell me who knew.

You owe me. You fucking owe me that!

I cannot...

..and will not tell you.

Urgh!

A body's been found. Looks like an assault.

Where were you last night? Does it matter?

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

Your formal transfer notice.

Hey.Morning. I think I've messed up a bit.

I really miss her. I haven't done anything wrong.

Nothing.

Are you OK, Sion?
